It’s a big planet with a lot going on. Live your life, focus on what’s in front of you and quit paying attention to the media. Why live your life in fear of what may become.

WOW, some people’s glass is 1/2 empty. My area is joyful and peaceful. I do my fair share to help the less fortunate. I suffer no fools. I cut back on the news. I watch enough to know where not to travel. I’m where I’m going to be before dark. I don’t carry yet, I’m thinking about it. My glass is half full.

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

Interesting choice of words for something that is already reality, don't you think? I mean that list isn't what may become. It is what is...now....closing ones eyes doesn't not make it go away. But yea, we all have options. Eye's wide shut is one. Serious. Not being cute. Lot's of people really like that option. For example....

 

I think of Noah when a topic like this is discussed. An entire world chose not to "live your life in a fear and what may become".  They considered the reality he preached to be a joke. Rain? Until that day it had never rained on the earth.

 

What I really want to know is; when did they take it serious? 

 

Water to the ankles? Waist? Chest deep? When the few had made it to the highest mountain? Perhaps some denied with their last breath. I am certainly curious about that. Yes indeed...curious ? 

 

Anyway....have a nice day.

Yeah, don’t waste your time. The CNN-force is much too strong with this one.
 

When you’re programmed to think the world is ending in 12 years, everyone is a racist, and COVID is going to kill you, this is what you get. Miserable people and kids taking to the streets to burn everything.

 

Here’s some interesting stats to bounce off of the lockdown lover’s heads. I feel like a few of us here said this would be the cause about 6 months ago.

https://www.cnbc.com/2020/09/01/fauci-debunks-theories-of-low-cdc-coronavirus-death-toll-there-are-180000-plus-deaths-in-us.html

 

KEY POINTS
  • White House coronavirus advisor Dr. Anthony Fauci confirmed on Tuesday that more than 180,000 people in the U.S. have died from Covid-19. 
  • Fauci’s comments come after some have claimed a new CDC update indicates only 6% of the nation’s total reported Covid-19 deaths were actually from the virus, and the remaining percent died of “other serious illnesses.” 
  • At least 183,600 people have died from Covid-19 in the U.S. as of Tuesday, accounting for just over 21% of the globe’s total reported deaths.

Well yeah, it’s obvious that some of the people who have died, even having other serious conditions, would still be alive without COVID. I never took the report to specifically mean that 94% of the COVID deaths were fake. It casts some doubt on a number of them, but anyone knows that COVID certainly can turn your 6 months to live into 6 days, and so on. 
 

What I did take of that report was that we should use that data to by hyper-focused in protecting only the people who need protecting. We are talking about a very specific subset of the population who should be concerned. And a vast majority who should be back to normal in order to fund the at-risk sitting this one out. Maybe even obtaining some herd immunity in the process as has already happened in certain areas.
 

Blanket restrictions on everyone’s lives makes absolutely no common sense in light of the data we have. All it results in is vast non-compliance, depression and unrest. I didn’t expect Grump or the experts to understand that on February 1st, but I did expect everyone to understand it on September 1st.

Some people want control. Even after there’s little difference between lock down states and semi open states as far as infection. Blue verses red. Control and freedom. For our own good. Where have I heard that before? Cuba, Venezuela perhaps?

Think it’s behind a paywall on the WSJ but this article says as much:
 

https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-failed-experiment-of-covid-lockdowns-11599000890?mod=mhp

 

D56A16DB-738F-469C-81D7-F458BCE61C07.thumb.jpeg.c254236a829c4a84b79c19d4f84d4726.jpeg

 

The same can be said for the effectiveness of masks, no impact at all. Which makes sense since CDC has acknowledged that asymptomatic spread is basically a myth. And yet everyone still wears one.

 

We just have a complete refusal to accept and react to new data as it comes. Some people sound the same today as they did in March. Illinois and California have decided to just ignore the CDC now and test people who don’t need tests. You get more false positives than asymptomatic super spreaders, that’s for sure.
 

In the end, even though Pelosi and Mayor Beetlejuice of Chicago aren’t afraid of the bug when they get hairdos, they damn sure want the rest of us to be.

Now they’re trying to say she was set up by the salon. Absolutely delusional. And what’s even scarier is people will back her

That, and suddenly now salons in California can operate indoors after all! Wonder what changed in 24 hours??? Hmmm...
 

Love how the article makes no mention of the obvious reason. ?

      2026 DENALI 6.2L

      By pyoung62 · Posted

      I agree with Tim.  As tech heavy as engines are these days, no way I’d be an early buyer of the new 6.6.  Of course, I bought my ‘26 Denali w/the 6.2 after dumping my Tundra with it’s defective 3.5 liter imploding engine disaster, so I’m a little gun-shy.  That said, my 6.2 has been rock solid.  I don’t drive it like I do my BMW Z4 M40i, but I don’t baby it either.  I got a V8 for a reason.  But I’m averaging 18 around town and 22 highway.  I have seen 24 highway as well when I wasn’t loaded up heavy.  Considering my Tundra with the twin turbo V6 only got 14.5 in town and 17 on the road, I’ll take the 6.2 all day, every day.  If I were you, I’d grab a ‘26 while you can.  Inventories are probably gonna start dropping and I’ll bet the deals will start looking sweeter as well.

      Can you add a 360° Cameras hard button to a 2021 Sierra?

      By ShowMeShooter1332 · Posted

      I am curious if anyone has figured out a way to add an hard button AUX or 360 Camera switch to the center row of switches. I have a 2021 AT4, and want to split the hill decent button and add a 360 camera button so that you don't have to go into the center display and locate the camera functionality, etc...   My father's 2024 Yukon XL AT4 and it has a hard button, see below. I found this thread on the Yukons, but it seems like there may not be a part number for the 2021 sierras. https://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/topic/255339-adding-hard-button-for-camera-on-2021/ Anyone else figured this out. Seems like it would need to be a custom switch!   I am getting ready to install the auto stop/start eliminator, so would be nice to knock them out at once.     Upvote1Downvote0Go to comments

      Oil Consumption

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Through the years it hasn't been my typical method as I tried to drop oil on an engine that was hot from having been worked, however that was not always practical and had to fire up a unit and let it warm up reasonably well and drop the oil when I had the time to do it but am referring to not only vehicles but a variety of farm equipment and highway tractors etc. However on a vehicle where one is crawling under it and the exhaust is nearby to ones body and if wanting to pull the plug without danger of being hit with boiling hot oil or attempting to remove a HOT oil filter, its sure safer and easier to not have everything smoking hot and can remove the filter right away when under the vehicle and let it all drain. Of course its not the end of the world if a bit of oil stays in the engine that might have eventually found its way out, I like to get out as much as possible but any oil changes that take place in shops would rarely be sitting around for very long at all before the plug is thrown back in and filter slapped on and oil poured in and sent out the door quick like. There would be very little time spent ( assuming they even did it ) in starting the engine with oil to fill the filter, then waiting to verify the level on the stick. A good reason to check ones oil level shortly after a shop changed the oil on a vehicle just to make sure its correct and to look under for any oil around the drain plug or filter.
