Even being I a family business most of my life I didn’t rely on one method for retirement. Lucky for me I listen to Dave Ramsey while clearing ROWs. The crash of 08 caused me to quit investing in an IRA and buying a few houses for rentals. The business thrives, I sold to my brother at 58. My rental property pays for my fun. Funny you mention the covid being developed and let out of the China lab. A young lady from China said exactly that on Tucker Carlson last night. Hummm

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

Simple, I’m not sick, nor do I spit or sneeze! Sick people should wear them, NOT HEALTHY PEOPLE, choice to wear, Capeesh! I’m surrounded by people everyday, I’ve never gotten sick (except for that one day when I ate to much pie). If you’ve got a weak immune system, common sense should take over and be worn even without China Virus.
 

Well how happy for perfect little you. 

 

That's funny (bold above) compared to the quote below

It’s proven that forcing someone to cover their faces is a form of control, hence the Muslim culture, forcing women to wear face coverings is a form of slavery! 

 Do you know why Law even exist?

 

For every one person that is willing to "do the right thing" and 'love his neighbor as himself" there are tens of thousands who are not. You seem to be an example of the latter. Your RIGHTS are more important than your neighbors RIGHTS. I'm not guess this. Your taking an add out in a forum to show it. 

 

Continue if you wish but I will choose not to listen, read or engage any further.

Absolutely correct! I’ve been saying it for months, Wuhan lab is where bio weapons are manufactured, it’s common sense. There are sooooo many ignorant gullible people in the world, rea search and you’ll find the way [emoji6]

Woohoo, Trump2020!

Btw, wearing masks not only hinders oxygen intake but has been found to be a “DANGEROUS” breeding ground for bacteria. Some of the worst bacteria is found through the process of digestion, starting your mouth. Many people are also allergic to the synthetics as well as claustrophobic. In addition to all this, why hasn’t anyone condemned he loser rioters for not wearing proper masks if any as well as social distancing? That’s cause this is targeting conservatives, the ones that protect the rights for “We The People”.

Pro choice, it’s ok to for babies to be thrown in the blenders in order to contain and minimize the growth of society (Something Bill Gates Loves!) and yet you’ll only find these murdering abortion clinics in low income areas, yeah, pro choice now means “Do As I Say and Not As I Do!”, got that one from hideous Pelosi.

Some folks need it but most don’t. If you’ve got a weak immune system chances are you’ll need one, some have got serious complications from having it. Imagine, it’s a weaken strain of that your body can’t fight well so they’re receiving a weaker dose to help build their immune system, hmmmm

Never had one. I had the flu bad once. Now days with the covid hysteria I doubt people with underlying conditions will get in close proximity to other people. And the kicker is it’s about 30-50 percent effective. It’s better to be cautious and keep your distance than to cling to well I got a vaccine and throw caution to the wind. For the over 65 crowd. Well the two family gatherings net no covid, ya-hoo. In discussions of the up coming holidays it’s been decided to forgo the usual 30-40 people dinners at my house. More of the one family at a time spread over several hours. Buffet style. I guess the upside is for most people the holidays usually starts the whole cold flu deal anyway. Social distancing will help with that. If it really does help.

Never had a flu shot, never had the flu. Sure as hell ain’t getting this coronavirus vaccine either.


As far as masks, here’s how well they have worked in France:

Same can be said for their lockdowns...they were one of the strictest countries early on. All it did was delay the inevitable, cause depression and bankrupt the country in the process.

 

This is what the libs here want to emulate. October surprise? How bout more lockdowns on a phony second wave.

Extraordinary political and/or conspiracy beliefs regarding covid19 continue to surface on this thread.  If the pandemic was restricted to one country then such comments would seem a little less bizarre.

You're trying to reason with the unreasoning?

:nonod:

 

Ignore them sir.

Just say' n.

 

When there is no right answer.

It's isn't discussion they want.

It's a fight they beg.

 

Selfishness is rampant

Me  me me

 

A mask you say?

You're trying to make a slave out of me!!

:wtf:

They can’t restrict the Chinese population to traveling only to the US. 
 

At best, they f-ed up and released it on accident. Still they could have closed down and stopped it at their borders. They didn’t. They didn’t want to be the only ones suffering economic harm.

 

At worst, they released it on purpose. They didn’t care about other countries because they simply don’t care about anyone, not even their own people. Doesn’t mean the main target wasn’t the US. They knew it would make it here.
 

And even if that wasn’t the specific intent, it’s clear that this has been manipulated here in the states to sink the greatest economy in history, and our president along with it.

 

And after all, who has been so tough on China the past 3.5 years? Oh yeah.

 

How many coincidences until it’s no longer a coincidence?

Conspiracy theory, now that’s a new one lol. Why did multiple doctors come out and do a press release, speaking out against mainstream media and that it’s very curable and that people don’t have to die only to be hushed, all social media deleted any and all traces of the press release?

My buddy was in Florida a few months ago when it was so called going on heavy, he waited in line for three hours with his family of 5 and decided to do it another day so they left only to receive positive test results in the mail. WTF! They weren’t tested so how could they know if they had it? It’s all BS! Yes, some are dying from it, just as almost 100k die per year from the flu alone. Everything has complications due to “Corona Virus”, you die from car accident and “Corona Virus” is to blame, drink to much and overdose to have “Corona Virus” as reason for cause of death! In the event you didn’t know, Cities and states get funding for each death and it’s already been proven that most weren’t caused by 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.
