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

So what's the solution?  Do we allow more businesses to open and have regular citizens report violations?  That's gonna flood local PD with way more work than they can handle.  Will people be civil when someone asks them to put a mask on?  Some will, but there will be confrontations over this.  In my brief 40 years of existence I've come to know that most people in general are good natured and considerate of others.  However, there are WAY too many people that don't care about anyone but themselves and won't follow the rules.  Those are the people that worry me.

Do we allow more businesses to open and have regular citizens report violations?  That's gonna flood local PD with way more work than they can handle. Yes on opening as long as they are following guidelines, even theirs.  No on regular citizens reporting, citizens are not covid compliance police.  Reporting instances will distract local PD from more important responsibilities on the street and in the office.  Will people be civil when someone asks them to put a mask on?  Some will, but there will be confrontations over this. Anyone not wearing a mask will "probably" be confrontational, or else they would be wearing a mask?

 

Your solution, you have to be inconvenienced cause your not responsible for controlling people.  This doesn't mean to deal with it, this means you have to leave. Once you get your family in the safety of your home, notify the business.  They'll remember turning down a potential sale.

You're right, there are choices, I totally agree with that.  Just because someone has the right to stay in doesn't make them scared.  It's like saying folks that go out are stupid.  Neither reasoning pass the test.  Most people have valid reasons for doing either whether it be by choice or necessity.

Staying home is a choice, scared or cautious whatever the label is. Keeping people from going out whatever the reason is wrong. It empowers the wrong people. As we’re seeing.

Allowing people to open, really? We’re still in the USA right? If you’re under 50 you have almost 0 chance of dying or even showing symptoms. People who are at risk can get deliveries and don’t need to engage at all. I can get everything delivered, even a new car. We jump the shark big time on this.

So in your scenario, if someone were high risk, would they have protection of their job and if necessary, receive gov't assistance for staying home?  How exactly would you see that working?  Because if the choice to stay home doesn't have guarantees for the high risk, then we aren't really protecting them or giving them a choice.   I bring this up because there are plenty of elected officials that wouldn't mind seeing pre-existing conditions protections being thrown out, so this would be a point of contention.

So, let’s say at least at this time over 30 million people lost their jobs or business. Some who are able to work. To protect the few who may be at risk. Or have wavers for unemployment for people who are at risk per a doctor’s note. Let the others work and go about their business. Right now we have states and cities getting ready to lay off in record numbers. They’ll be cutting back pensions next. What are the older retired people going to do? We can only print so much money. That’s why some of the blue states are holding back they want federal money. They’re pensions are all ready in trouble. They need a bail out. I bet people think it’s because they care. Yea really.

Because the country doesn't have the capacity to test everyone, let's get the economy restarted with the least vulnerable, those without pre-existing conditions.  Let's test those folks and put them back to work and see how that goes.  It may buy some time to get the most vulnerable tested.

This is not a novel idea, but just like everything else, it's late.  People are getting paid and are in charge to figure this stuff out.

Let's not blue state/ red state this.  We all need to get past this type of thinking and act as a unified country again. Both sides need to do their part if we plan on coming out of this stronger.

I’m a retired business person. If you want to survive you figure things out. If you don’t, you don’t survive. The difference is the people who are working on this and advising. Are going to get paid wrong or right. I haven’t change my opinion since the start of this thread. Before the damage was done.

Unified? When? The big man tried that. Where have you been? It would be nice though. But there’s election in a few short months.

The non essentials have been back on the roads the last few days here. Now I know where all the bad drivers have been the last month. 

 

I've changed my mind. Longer quarantine.??

I've seen them in action many times in my work place, I personally think they are overpaid idiots for the most part.

Changing your mind was not the point.  As for paid advisors, if they're wrong, they get replaced.

Funny.  My son said the same thing, he drives a 26 footer.

      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.
