My 2 cents.

 

As far masks... what load of crap... the analogy is, wearing a Mosquito Net on your face in a Dust Storm.  I wear none, period, no question asked.  The Virus floating in the air enters your eyes and the few wearing the mask bellow the nose, enter through the nose... so the damage is done.  The Mouth Diaper is a total waste of time.

 

 

Two points here. First yes, worn wrong they do nothing but more importantly and for the millionth time you don't wear a mask to prevent getting it. You wear a mask to prevent GIVING it. Limits the distance YOU spray. :wtf:

 

Your mother never taught you to cover your mouth when you cough? 

:idiot:

 

Don I didn't think my point could be made this quickly!

My current sources...

 

My wife is a clinical nurse, house suppervisor and talk to doctors.  Honestly, I have no faith on Allopathic Medicine.  Allopaths are taught through academia and memorize all sorts of ideas.  What western medicine is good for is Trauma Treatments.  The Allopaths fix all issues with some sort of pharmaceuticals, troubleshoot skills are near to 0 or 0.  Why they have Protocols?  Because they are dumb asses and that ensure the proper treatment. Science is about calling Bullshît all the time and if Science is believed by faith, is not Science, is a Cult.

 

For what I see, read and experienced, Vaccinations are way overrated.  Much so, they are fast tracked without any proper testing, futher more.... you can be killed with a vaccine and pharmaceuticals are liable for any wrong doing.

 

Why always has to be a vaccination and not a "pill"?  Is the certification and aproval, 2 different animals.

 

Lets play Darwing and you take the shot, me none, whoever survive take the planet.

 

I guess I am on 4 Cents ?

Want to see creativity? I was play cards with a guy that was wearing Half a bra for a mask. He was social distancing though. Half the people here think the whole thing is bull. Amazing since there’re the most vulnerable.

I hardly cough due to great health.  I am over half a century old and do not take a single medication.  My lab work always checks out perfect.

 

And if I do (cough and/or sneeze).... as a courtesy, always covered, is common sense and manners.

 

Well, this thread as many others on other forums, all boils down to the Masked Vs Un-Masked.  Kens/Karens Vs The People

Rubella, Pertussis, Flu, Polio, Pneumococcal, Tetanus, Meningococcal,  Hepatitis B, Mumps, Hib, Smallpox, Typhoid,  Diphtheria, Rabies, Cholera, Tuberculosis, chickenpox, Yellow Fever, Encephalitis, HPV, Whew!!! 

 

Many of these there is no 'treatment' for and several are deadly even when treated.

Your really don't see the connection do you? 

Ken and Karen? So entitled or demanding beyond the scope of what is appropriate or necessary? 

Interesting idea that you get to choose what is appropriate and necessary. 

You just said covering is 'common sense and manners and then say such is inappropriate and unnecessary. 

You sound.......confused.......??? Let me simplify it for you. Wear your mask! 

 

I got shoes older than you. :)

It’s not even the masked vs the unmasked anymore. Masks, like them or not, are a given at this point. It doesn’t matter that they don’t seem to actually be working in practice. I never see anyone without them anywhere I go. Including myself.

Nowadays it’s the people who want to stop absolutely everything over this for the next two years -vs- the people with enough sense to see that none of this is sustainable, let alone necessary. It’s been overhyped to the moon for political reasons. China knew the idiotic media here would do their bidding, and boy they haven’t disappointed. Half the damn country is brainwashed into thinking that millions of Americans have already died, and that they are next if we don’t shut everything down and destroy ourselves to remain living.

You can add the "let 'er rip" group to your categories.  The news  (and this thread) does like to capture the diversity in the politics of the virus!  People vs people only serves to take our sights off of the problem..   We can debate the strategies but our common enemy is the pandemic.    Total shutdowns are devastating and so is letting the virus run its course.  There are very basic steps that will drastically slow the spread that most of us learned in public school.  One type of defense, or inconsistent application of safe practices, will give minimal results.  We need to work together to get everyone(majority) following basic protocols.  (hand washing, social distancing, masks)  Simply carrying a mask for those times when required is not enough.  It is very difficult to see the rewards of people consistently practicing safe behavior when the virus has been allowed to take hold or when large numbers of people aren't adhering to safe practices..  When you're dealing with smaller numbers like where I live, a direct connection to non-compliance can usually be found (traced).  

One of the challenges of this virus is it can't be seen.  In my days as a a public school administrator I  often had to deal with a breakout of headlice.  Strategies to combat the problem were easier to implement because students could see and feel the enemy.  To carry the comparison further, it was far easier to combat a lice problem when it was reported in one classroom before it was allowed to spread throughout the school.  Once it was throughout the school the basic protocols still were key in bringing it under control.  You wouldn't find students giving up or challenging the efficacy of lice protocols!

Of course no one is going to challenge lice protocol. It doesn’t destroy your way of life. Coronavirus or should I say the idea of this deadly virus is ruining this country.

So the Big12, SEC, and ACC are playing fall football.  And the Big10, Pac12, and BigEast are not.  The old red state vs blue state deal.  The fact that "swaying the election" was actually discussed in the Big10 meetings reaffirms the whole idea that it's really about the election, not about the pandemic.  There's a whole lotta people saying if Joe and the Ho win, on 4 NOV the pandemic will magically disappear and the mainstream liberal media will never discuss it again.

Yes, everyone is experiencing varying degrees of Covid fatigue which is even more reason for all of us to make a greater effort get it under control.  Another saying I've heard is, "When the going gets tough, quit."  ?   The virus isn't giving up.   We all have to live with the virus for now and anger, blame or apathy doesn't make it go away.  We all need to do our part and encourage everyone in our circle of influence to do the same.  Positive change can spread in a similar manner to the virus.   In my province, significant surges in covid cases on a given day can be traced to an activity or event that happened previously.  Conversely, declines are evident when the majority are doing their part to reduce the spread.  This is hard to recognize when numbers are huge but your continued contribution makes a difference!

Maybe. I used to think that, but I’m reconsidering lately. These lefties are really enjoying the power to control our every move. I don’t see them handing it back any time soon. They may even get emboldened to take things even further after the election. If things go well for them.

 

The only real solution is every day people getting fed up and seeking out the truth. The simple statistics of this virus should set people free in a sane world. But some are brainwashed beyond reason.

    • I have a 2000 Silverado 1500 LS, whenever I put it into reverse and also in drive it clunks, the truck also feels sluggish when driving. Any advice/ideas ?
    • Looks like it's riveted to me. What is wrong with that 1? Welcome to the Forum!
    • Missing pieces of the Assembly   Detergency vs Solvency   Not the same thing. Detergency is the mechanism that surrounds solid particulates preventing amalgamation. Usually accompanied by a Dispersant whose job it is to keep those encapsulated particles in Suspension. Solvency keeps things that can be dissolved in solution.    Salt is a solid that can be dissolved. Pepper is a solid that cannot be dissolved. A detergent/dispersant is effective on pepper but a solvent is more effective on salt. As long as the solids remain in either state, dissolved or dispersed then they can be be removed with the oil upon change.    How many wranglers does it take to herd cats? Depends on how many cats your herding. How much sponge does it take to soak up water? How much water is there to soak up? Point is most oil blends start with some herding ability and next to zero sponge and recently even fewer wranglers are being sent to do the same job.    So you start with a dozen cowboys and zero cows but at the drive progresses you pick up cows along the way, but not cowboys. At some point you have more cows that the wranglers can handle and some leave the herd. Deposits. And the API has an acceptable number of cows they are willing to let loose. In the ideal world zero is the right number for he rancher but to the butcher....a few lost is fine. This cow is beat to death. Let's move on....   Solvency isn't something oils on the Walmart shelf care about AT ALL. Problem is, you motor does. Fuels driven varnish sticks rings and only a solvent can keep them in check. The bet is that the solids driven portion that plug the expander rings and the oil drain backs and VVT screens and AFM screens will be an issue long before varnish is. Not that it wont be but if they market well enough the consumer can be kept ignorant enough to either believe it is "normal" (A quart in 1 or 2K is normal) OR is kept at bay longer than the first owner is likely to hang on to the unit. Solvency cost money.    Now the OEM's have John Q. Public buffaloed into the belief that the number cows accumulated along the trail is a known and predictable CONSTANT. It isn't. Nor is the rate at which they crossed paths with them. Only the number of wrangles is constant. Or was. Each new generation of oil sees fewer and fewer of them.    So what happens when the number of cowboys is lower (lower TBN) with each seasons trail but the trial is longer (OCI) and the number of cows along that trail continues increase? (Conditions that promote deposits).    For awhile the blenders were on to something. Better bases are harder to degrade (fewer cows) but that was overtaken by a longer trail (OCI) and improved breeding (More cows) while continuing to reduce the cowboy staffing levels (TBN/Aniline #).    Marketing has been successful. We've fired most of the staff, cows breed line bunnies, the trail is ten times longer and we've convinced the boss his ranch is in better shape that it ever was.    That kids is just the cleaning side. The side few pay attention to.
