Yep.  I remember Walter's delivery of Vietnam. Every gory detail. People would puke if that type of reporting were still on today. Imagine Walter doing a NYC hospital ICU dropping bodies like a gumball machine. 

News types providing opinions today influence people to believe it doesn't matter to sacrifice their ethics, morals, and integrity.  Walter reporting C-19 news in NYC would be very emotional, even for him.

My point being the news and media. They want to compare a war or something from 100 years ago to what is going on now. People are still dead, who the hell cares that this many or that many died in whatever other situation from back then.

 

I'm not on the let it buck train yet but with how some of the people in charge seem to think, they'll be nothing to come back too for so many. They are basically saying it's safer to walk into a walmart with hundreds of people to buy something than a store on the corner with 5 people.

I doThose who do not remember their past are condemned to repeat their mistakes. (George Santayana 1863-1952)

It provides context and reference. I like to fly with instruments and visuals. Helps me keep my bearings. Seems sensible. 

 

Fanaticism consists in redoubling your efforts when you have forgotten your aim. Also Santayana. 

 

Fact checks. When you listen to a pod cast or a YouTube and buy into it hook line and sinker without a fact check.......

 

That's what we have going on here. A mindless feeding frenzy like sharks on unchecked garbage. 

 

Common sense should tell you that it would be fairly difficult for 238 nations to all be in an a COVID-19 conspiracy.

We see what’s happening with this shut down that being missed by most people it seems. We the people are losing our freedoms. But you’re going to die seems to be the catch phrase. Some people’s (governors) are the reason. New York for example. Even with the lock down. Como signs an order demanding covid elderly people back to rest homes to recover. The results more deaths from those places. In contrast the Florida governor targets the elderly for mitigation, far less deaths. Spring breakers, no problems. It was certain to be the second worse infected according to the experts. Sweden’s ambassador says there way worked for them. Instead of learning something. The sky is falling people on here say there’s nothing we can learn from that. Instead of learning from this and using the information. It’s total lock down no exemptions. Then there’s the people who want to save their business. They say we get the message. I’ll use it and open up. My people need to work. No the judge says go to jail. Instead of recognizing who this bug is effecting let’s shut down everyone. The number that worries me is the millions that lose their job every week. I guess no one dies from that, according to the screamers. It was supposed to be flatten the curve, not hide and wait for a cure. That may never come. Happy screaming.

This whole episode continues to be exposed as a fraud everyday. Amazingly there are way too many group thinking fools that think unemployment could actually be a way of life. These silly orders are falling apart everywhere. Arresting decent citizens while freeing criminals. The fact that some people seem to be ok with this nonsense is alarming. It goes to show how easily manipulated some people are. Nothing has been believable about any of this thus far, other than the economic disaster that this has created. Lesson to take away from this is that science has no place in making policy. Science is a way of saying they are smarter than you because you don't understand science that isn't proving true. What other professions allow you to be so terribly wrong about everything. None of these scientists or politicians follow any of the garbage advise that they spew. Hypocrisy at its finest. On a more positive note more dirtbag dems and dirty FBI agents being exposed does bring some satisfaction. Russia was a Hoax just like the current situation is. The same people yelling about Russia for 3 years are now wanting the economy to stay shut down forever. Oh and there was that fake impeachment in between. We are dealing with sore losers that will do anything to cheat their own people to get the power they think they are entitled to. Disgusting.  AMERICA2020  TRUMP2020

You pretty much nailed it. While I was walking this morning the unemployment numbers came out. Over 14 percent. Most of the people saying stay at home are getting paid from somewhere. My son called last night. Business is booming in house buying. People want to leave the city. There’s a political component in the city that’s different out in the country. They want to get away. My renter who is in real estate said the same thing.

I find it amusing that certain people who advise people don’t follow recommend maintenance service on their vehicles. Are the same people who believe the numbers that increasingly unreliable organizations are putting out. Even when more evidence comes forward proving the discrepancy. Don’t believe the ( man) about your car. But believe the (man) when it comes to your health and well being. There’s no alternate motives there. They’re as pure as the wind driven snow. #crackup #idiots#head in the sand.

wonder if theres any correlation to the viruses is in the Meat supply, hence why all the meat packers have sick employees ?  remember China has many issues with pork and chicken, and has done mass slaughtering of the animals due to virus fears in asia food supply..

So you've jointed the 'name calling herd. :) It's okay....:crackup:Frustration will do that to a guy. 

 

Well I'll say this for the guy who believes his mechanic. He's believing a mechanic. When you buy into a Pod Cast or a New Cast for that matter you're believing the guy the mechanic had lunch with or his second cousin who has the straight skinny. Your accepting someone else's version of gossip over the back fence? IF they say 'verified' in the sentence so be it? I could care less how well I believe THEY vetted their fact. How well did I vet those facts? Some of it doesn't even pass the sniff test.

A snowball has better odds in an pizza oven than my believing that line.

(or that video in it's entirety)  

 

I do believe this; One person yelling FIRE in a theater gets people killed.

Pretty much what sites like that do. 

FIRE!!!!!!

Frustrated me? Me and mine are just peachy. Couldn’t be better. Only one got laid off. Oil related. Brother in law. He’s looking forward to the time off. They told him recently he’s one of the first back. Name calling? I learned a new hashtag thingy, from who I can’t remember. Starts with a G I think. # curious.

To make matters worse he agreed to bay $3.50 ish per mask while Us companies on average are going for 63 cents to $1.60. Incompetence or in cahoots?

That part is just corporate greed. I heard companies are charging $10 per N95 mask now. Believe they were about $3 before all this started.

I see that has been mentioned, I couldn't care less. I have the right to speak my mind, if this forum does like that, they can do whatever they need to do. I know you aren't taking part in the group think project here

Just wanted to make you aware. Rock on.[emoji3577]

Folks are coming out, but it's more to get air than spend.  If this virus was presented truthful in the beginning, people may have more confidence now.  Brick and mortar stores couldn't compete with the Walmarts long before Covid 19, the virus just highlited the inevitable.  I got it, large sums of money was a snap decision, but that's not going to be the answer moving forward.

    • I had a evap sol go bad a couple weeks ago. . I replaced it.  While watching live data at the time I saw I had some cylinder 1 misfires. No MIL but on live data I could see ~50 at startup and about 70 more after an hour a drive all on cyl 1.  I also noticed that the LTFT were -5% to -15% always.  And that bank 2 is always -3% richer than bank 1. Even across all driving modes, city, highway, etc it’s always 3% richer than bank 1. So I start with the misfire. Swapped coil, plug, and plug wires from 1 to 3. No follow. I got an Injector reseal kit, pulled the D/s injector rail, swapped #1 and #3 injectors, resealed them, reinstalled and retested.  The misfire followed to 3. So I ordered and replaced all 8 injectors, spark plugs, and plug wires. Also replaced the 1 time use fuel pipes under the intake manifold.  Injectors that were in the truck since new were  Part # 12668390.  I replaced them with # 12742701 Got from RockAuto. Pretty certain they’re genuine and the correct ones. I called a friend at a parts store who told me “the 12742701 were the correct superseded part # for the originals I was replacing”. So started truck after replacing all that and it’s running -15 - -30 LTFTs. I reset the fuel trims with GDS2 and drove it for a 60 miles trip each way. There have been no changes in the LTFTs.  I checked if the HPFP was leaking into the crankcase. I removed the pvc and watched the trims. No difference.  I checked the alcohol content and it was at 10%  I’m out of ideas here. Truck seems to run great. Just always rich on the fuel trims.  Anyone with any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.  I ran an injector balance test just for the heck of it and it came back this. I’m confused.  I have gds2 and some other diag tools if anyone knows of anything I should test next.
    • Definitely needs to go back to the dealer. 
    • Fix one problem and find another.   Truck didn't have a thermostat in it so I flushed out the system today and refilled with 50/50 Dexcool. This truck is so old (LOL) that it has a sticker under the hood alerting people to the fact that it contains such. There is also an orange supplement with the owner's manual alerting the owner that "Your vehicle is one of a number of late production 1995 General Motors vehicles that use a newly developed engine coolant in the cooling system..."   I was still a little flummoxed by what seemed like a rich condition (exhaust smell, and a puff of carbon with a punchy rev). While watching the coolant temperature and testing the thermostat with my scanner, I happened to notice the IAT (incoming air temperature) to the intake was -40F. I know the temp is below average today, but I can still feel my face, and I was wearing shorts.   D'oh!! I realized I had never plugged the IAT back in, and the airbox was out while I was doing coolant. So I paused, reinstalled the airbox and plugged in the IAT, and viola. Things cleared right up, and I watched the coolant temp climb to a reported 198 degrees on the scanner (195 thermostat) and then it dropped to 194 (open) and then back up to 198 and held. Let it cool, came back, checked the coolant level and was satisifed.   Victory lap?   It needed more than the couple of gallons of gas I put in it from almost bone dry, so I ran it up to the gas station. It had earned it, or, at least I was pretty certain I wouldn't be draining or removing the tank anytime soon.   CEL popped on just as I was cruising a nice steady 40mph, just after coasting down a slight downhill curve.. Of course, it did, because, why let me enjoy not having dash emojis for a little while.   I just happened to have the scanner plugged in. I don't text and drive but I might scan and drive. Don't tell the police.   P0401, EGR flow insufficient.    Well, hello, EGR... ...my old friend! Welcome to the party, now that the engine reaches the factory-programmed operating temperature. I'm sure it was gagging on hostile, rich exhaust and carbon this whole time so I'll take it off and look again.   At least it's easily accessible, and worst case, about $65 to replace.   To keep, or to sell... Hmm. I want it running correctly either way. It's easier to sell when there are no fault codes.   It needs tires (they're aged out and cracking)   It could probably use an oil pan seal, or maybe the timing cover gasket/ junction with the pan needs redone because I've got an issue there that leaves a drop of oil on the floor.   If I do tires I'm sure they'll say the ball joints could use freshening, and, and, and, and.... At some point I'll have to stop. I can't (shouldn't) make it perfect, that's not what this rig is.
