I swear Stan, you could watch a hurricane blow a tree flat to the ground and still swear it never budged. 

I don’t know? Are you moving. You continue to put up scary stats. Yes I’ve moved to flatten the curve. Even rolling lock downs, rinse repeat as needed. Learn to employ new strategy’s as needed. I’m pretty sure like me you’re set. I am free to zig, zag assets. The people I worry about are the ones who feel cornered see no light. Things can get nasty and violent. I see different vehicles casing my neighborhood. I look better off than I am. Paranoid maybe. Losing everything makes people do things they wouldn’t normally do. Give them the freedom to work, it’s worth the risk. There’s talk of 20 percent unemployment next week. That’s scary. I heard on the radio today that people aren’t going to the doctors. Clinics may close. Private practice may shut down. Maybe people should emphasize 98 percent recovery for a change and stop scaring people. It’s isn’t all grim, you wouldn’t know it though.

I’m wondering. Remember H1-N1? Mass hysteria? Stock Market going crazy? Who’s going to make money? Who’s pushing the most hysteria?

I work in a gov't office in a secret underground undisclosed location, as they say.  No, really.  We received a briefing from an epidemiologist in Washington State.  He said that if you put someone in

I think (IMHO) that this virus is mindless and the strain is mutating. Both science and reason can confirm that much.

Read up on mutation because for me, there has always been a negative connotation.  A mutation could be good or bad, hope this virus ultimately mutates to a level that instills consumer confidence.  Without that, recovery will be unacceptably slow.

Had a Google Meeting earlier today about how we would proceed with teaching next school year.  The idea right now would be to have the teachers continue to create instructional videos for the students to watch and complete assignments.  Then, break the normal school day into 2 sessions with half of the school population attending each session so they could meet with their teachers and ask questions.  It's not going to be good for the students.  I'm ready to isolate myself from my family to prevent potential exposure to them so I can teach effectively.  This will easily be one of the biggest challenges I'll ever have to face in my career.

Well I honestly didn't see that coming. 

You just want what you want. 

FULL AGREEMENT and CENSORSHIP!

CONTROL!

 

Tell me Stan. How does one go about a rolling lock down, as needed of course, without looking at SCARY STATS?

Your becoming irrational.

 

Ya know that movie bit where the woman is screaming hysterically and the fellow slaps her to calm her down?

 

:idiot:

 

Cool down man. Your going to pop a circuit.

 

:dunno:

Not good for the students right now, but this sounds like a social distancing idea.  I've always liked an idea vs no idea.  Your commitment is commendable.

Last post to you I give up. I will say though. I’ve seen stats that show bad and not so bad. You choose the worst of the worst. You like the WHO and The CDC until they don’t agree with you. You seemed to emphasize the worst, I go the opposite. It healthier less scary and offers hope. That’s not censorship, it just optimistic. Like I said I before and mean it. No more engagement.

Yea? You've said that before.  :)

 

That is a flat out lie and you know it. I don't emphasize anything. I cut and paste report. I do point out when someone is cherry picking their information like the CDC cut and paste done without the disclaimers that said it was a partial and incomplete report. I discontinued WHO/Johns Hopkins when they stopped updating daily preventing tracking when under Trump attack. SPEAK the truth. 

 

I have changed to Google only because they are transparent and have a daily cut off time. Just easier to use. Locally I use Illinois department of health numbers.

 

Like every cat caught in a corner you just come out claws and hiss.

You did not answer how one controls with data without looking at data. 
You can't control with cherry picked 'hopeful' data.

The downturn in spending and investment led to factories and other businesses to slow down production and begin firing their workers.  For those lucky enough to remain employed, wages fell and buying power decreased.  Farmers couldn't afford to harvest their crops and were forced to leave them rotting in the fields.

 

This info is 90 yr old news when the cost of living was around 25% of what it is today.  If we don't get out of this together, we won't.

We don't.

But we can survive it. 

 

There is not a human, ruler or otherwise, on this planet that has an iron clad way out that leaves everyone whole. This isn't new. These types of situations have been with us for millenniums. This one just has the lights turned up high enough to catch everyone's attention. It's current and in your face but it isn't new at all. However, it is intensified.

 

 Plague of Justinian

541 CE

Kills 1/2 of the worlds population

 

1346-1353 CE Bubonic Plague

 Kills 1/3 of the earths population.

 

1400 CE Small Pox

North America

Kills between 90-95% of the indigenous populations of the US and Canada

Kills 10 million of the 11 million people living in Mexico.

 

2370 Noahchian Flood

Kills all but eight people on the planet.

 

All along there have been repeated encounters with with such events. A dozen world powers have come to power and fallen. Economies crash in every episode. And.....we live on. Do you know what the first three events have in common with this one?

On a more positive note, my wife's Cystic Fibrosis doctors have told her that based upon data from infected CF patients, COVID-19 isn't as life threatening as they anticipated.  I wonder if it may have something to do with a medication that the patients were taking.  Hopefully, they'll look to see if there are any commonalities with those infected patients' medications and test them on the virus.  Considering that CF attacks the lungs, this data was quite the surprise.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      So, do I go elbow-deep on this thing or list it for sale and play dumb? Seems to "runs good."   I'm about $1200 away from having: -a rebuilt injector ($300) -a new cat ($250) -a new cat back exhaust (OE style) ($300) -a new AC compressor ($200) -AC refrigerant charge ($150)   In theory, this should rectify the obvious detracting issues from its value and operability. Cold AC with a non-squeaking AC pulley both sounds and feels good. An exhaust that isn't cut/hacked in 17 different places and doesn't vibrate on a crossmember would make it sound and feel less janky. A working cat would help the stink, and will save the earth, but *if and only if* the fuel system is working properly, which would also address the intermittent "rich" CEL.   Heard a good one... CEL for "Rich condition" means you haven't spent enough money on the truck lately, and it's letting you know.   Rebuilding the injector would seem to be the most important part. Replacing the cat would be secondary. I don't think mine is plugged or overly restricted, but it might be a little restricted? I have no good way to tell other than seat of the pants feel. I hate the smell.   The current theory is I have a rich idle problem: A bad fuel pressure regulator, or a leaking injector(s) being the highest probabilities. I already replaced the FPR but that doesn't mean its replacement isn't also bad. It was a new part from Dorman, but the packaging looked like it had been sitting on a shelf for 20 years.   This is the (single) upstream O2 sensor shown at idle. I'm getting a lot of "rich" it seems. Sometimes it stays high like that and doesn't drop down. That makes me think it's processing injector leaks or a partially stuck open injector.     Other times it looks like this. Nice oscillations between rich and lean, which is what I think it should be. Under load and at speed, the oscillations are nice and tight and uniform looking, high and low.     Fuel trims suggest the PCM is compensating pretty hard at idle to pull fuel out. But it's not enough to trip a CEL. Something about slowing to a stop: brake vaccum booster, EGR, or the EVAP purge is delayed, or there's pooled fuel in the intake again that's draining into a cylinder is enough to set the CEL. Of course, in two days of driving, it hasn't set. I was hoping to actually look at the freeze-frame data when it sets. IAT is high because it's idling on an 83 degree day here.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      Common failure.  You need to replace the fuel door housing.   The painted cover transfers over to the new housing.  To remove the old one there is 4 spots where you poke the plastic to release it.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By newdude · Posted

      No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.

      Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.
