A politician thinks they are above the law. Shocker. Republicans have been hypocritical and downright moronic as well. Like that guy who tried to pay his mistress to have an abortion. The real problem in this country isn't right vs left. It's the elite vs the common man. The rich and powerful will do everything they can to keep their grip on this country and keep us ignorant and in the dark. Neither party cares more about the American people than they do about keeping their power over us

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

Republicans have the swamp, this is true. The shocker for me is the fracture in the Democrat partly. They were always in lock step. Power effects most people badly. No doubt.

One party has been a hell of a lot worse than the other as it pertains to the virus. Pardon the pun, but they have hypocrisy “locked down”.

I agree. The smart ones figure it out for themselves. The others make excuses or point figures. Dr Falchi just did a wing dinger yesterday. Acting like he can see the future. Getting everyone all upset again. People need to get a clue about that guy. There’s a guy who really likes power. He’s about as accurate as our local weather man.

Falchi was at it again yesterday. The president was explaining we’re turning the corner on covid. Myself a thinking person took that to mean several things. One we’re getting an understanding of the bug. Two we are better at treatment. Three we know who it effects. The doctor when asked, I don’t know what he meant. Really? A real patriot. Remember this is a man who recommended kids going to school. But he doesn’t know what turning the corner means. Oh, OK!

Then we've been turning a corner every day for the past 8 months?  The normal use of "turning a corner" means something significant/noticeable has happened recently that changed the situation.  Nothing significant has happened, particularly w.r.t. the 3 things you mentioned, anytime recently.

I think there are some significant events regarding understanding the virus.  Take this:

 

https://www.hpcwire.com/2020/07/28/supercomputer-powered-research-uncovers-signs-of-bradykinin-storm-that-may-explain-covid-19-symptoms/

 

We are certainly better at treatment as we have more targeted approaches instead of throwing everything at it (i.e. placing patients prone before placing on ventilators).

 

Regarding who it affects, the information isn't necessarily new but its gaining more research to support it.  Grumpy can put out the actual numbers but greater than 90% of deaths were over 60 and average 2.5 comorbidities.  Again, not new information but now the numbers seem to back up the early theories.

You’re being bias. Nothing changed since the beginning? We’re on the verge of a vaccine even according to the great Fauci. Yes of course we’re turning a corner. Most states that opened early aren’t experiencing anything any different than states like California. Who still are relatively locked down. Peaks and valleys. Here in my area in Texas almost normal. Schools opening, sports being played. Contrast that with California. Oh by the way there’s room their for people who want to stay locked down. It should be easy to find moving vans heading that way. The other way not so much. People are leaving in droves. Also New York.

It’s not like in the past week we learned 94% of deaths had other serious co-morbidities. We also didn’t see studies suggesting up to 90% of positive tests are in people who aren’t contagious, and thus the asymptomatic spread myth busted. There also wasn’t several studies released that showed the lockdowns to be ineffective and harmful. Oh wait, all of that happened.

 

Still hard to say we turned a corner, but only because the libs won’t allow us to turn it.

My age group is suffering the most deaths and it looks like we're catching it from the young'uns.

Thanks.  A lot.

They don't care. They aren't dying. 

Isn't that sweet of them?

Someone needs to keep the country moving and the money flowing. It’s those young guns stocking shelves and fulfilling your Amazon orders.

I'm sorry I want to live and be something in this world. I guess I will just stop my life completely so you feel better.

 

If you don't want to catch it, then keep your old self at home and far away from others. I don't have the luxury of being able to collect a pension or social security so I can't just drop everything. Somebody still has to put money into that system so others can benefit from it.

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      www.enginelabs.com/news/what-i-learned-today-bearing-clearances-vs-oil-viscosities/     www.enginelabs.com/news/oil-viscosity-can-the-numbers-be-misleading/ The Big Lie… Coming full circle to the reason Lake discusses the Porsche engines in particular. Based on the 2000 samples in the SPEEDiagnostix database, increasing the oil viscosity in these engines, even those run on the track, showed no significant difference in results.   The smoking gun was in the oil chemistry. That is where the data shows higher instances of more wear. Molybdenum was the key; the higher the amount, the less the wear. Speed postulates that higher viscosity oils have more thickeners to artificially inflate their viscosity numbers. These thickeners lose viscosity under shear, and the result is that not all oils of the same viscosity have the same shear stability.   Having enough viscosity is the most important characteristic, but according to Speed, once that required viscosity level is reached, additive chemistry matters more than additional viscosity. Speed also states, oil pressure problems on the racetrack aren’t a viscosity problem; it’s an oiling system problem. Running a thicker oil is just a band-aid for an underlying oiling system problem.

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Can it still be Assembled II?   Viscosity on the decline by various means. Heat on the rise making that worse. Engine RPM in the tank. Smaller motors with more boost trying to emulate an electric motor. Full torque, zero rpm. Then we will triple the OCI. Argh.    But wait....there is more. LSPI has pushed a shift from Ca to Mg and as that cost more PLUS the run to lower sulfur compounds the TBN is moving in the wrong direction for the increased OCI's demanded.    That not being enough to placate a demand for a parameter they can't measure the other sulfur bearing compounds are also under attack. That would be zinc and phosphorus sulfonate compounds. To some degree those are being replaced with boron esters and others, i.e. titanium ect. All of which have shorter service lives. And there there is the "Secrete Sauce" marketing for AW adds that 'Can't be detected by UOA's" but trust me because I (the blenders) never ever lie.    Spoiler alert; ALL additives are sacrificial! Smaller amounts of the old blended with less robust versions of the new do not equal longer service lives. So what are the blenders recommending? Wait for it.......   MOVING THE GOAL POSTS! OMG      Let's declare the long standing TAN/TBN crossover irrelevant and tell people that soot is a great 'graphite' based lubricant which can aid tribo films. Wait, what? Let's declare that the standards used for oxidation and nitration were to conservative and can be expanded. Let's tell them that because GDI fuel dilution, although being a VISCOSITY KILLER and an acid generator is actually okay because we have better base oils that limit viscosity failure limits. (Said knowing this is measured in fractions of a centipoise and in bases not commonly used in shelf oils)   Lying from the heart is not just the new normal but we have a public, a very young public, that is so ignorant of the facts and so sure of their "RESEARCH" into AI driven models base in regurgitated  instead of scientific research based unvarnished, peer reviewed FACTS that the incoming guard is loosing their grip on reality and the OEM's are tickled pink while the blends bend the knee.    You have an ever limited set of tools to work with. And sooner or later those will be taken from you as the API and the EPA strangle the last remaining fluids from the system. What you have left is your wits. If you care to use them.    At some point in the very near future it will not longer be possible to do "What is best for the machine", and be replaced with "The best you have access too". You WILL be rewarded with half the life and twice the cost. That isn't that hard to predict.

      Software Update

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I trust you saw the other comment where he knew what he was talking about !. Yes, these darned newer vehicles with all their so smart they are stupid technology, goes and drains the battery down. As you might see my other comment, I installed a Noco 5 battery tender under the hood and at this point still have the cord routed so I have to lift the hood and then plug it in but am typically parked in a garage or a shed so its not risking the engine hood in the wind. That way I am assured or hopefully so of not finding I have a battery drawn down and can't even start the truck and that also damages the battery to draw it down too far.

      Software Update

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I guess no surprise my guesses were wrong !, at least now I know if I ever happen to see it grayed out in my own truck as to what is going on.    I never happened to catch my truck with it grayed out, it seemed every time I would test to see if there was an update it never found anything and yet more than once I would check to see if there was an update and there was nothing, then a day later or even that same morning I would drive to town and after more than one engine shut down in town as I did my errands it would pop up that there is an update now ready to install and the only place I have a connection to the internet is at home by wifi so its not as if it grabbed the download while driving. I don't trust these new vehicles due to all the crap they can decide to do while sitting for some days not running and run the battery down so most of the time if I know the truck will sit for a few days I plug in the battery tender I have mounted under the hood and so the only time the truck must have downloaded software was when it was sitting in the garage where the signal is awful but I have that tender plugged in and somehow it managed to download it. I honestly detest all this crap, way to easy to leave a person stranded.    Since I don't trust any of it I don't do the install of the already downloaded software until I get home and sometimes have even sat in the truck to watch what its doing as its going through the process to its conclusion as its not like it is set up that it will tell you the next time you fire up the engine that the update that was initialed actually installed or installed properly. Yes I can go into the updates and see the list. After I go through the install where I feel its safe to do so in case it breaks down as a result, I will plug in the battery tender after the fact to recharge as I don't know how much power its taking just to do the install and that can take a while for it to install.

      Thanks for the reply. All settings were correct and the engine was off, as it was supposed to be. It turned out to be something simple. I took a drive for about an hour. I must have had a low battery without knowing it. The voltage gauge on the display looked ok. At the end of my drive, I shut off the engine and the update prompt came up and it updated normally. It’s ironic because one of the features of the update is a reduction of battery drain.
