Can’t blame them. Autopen was killing us. To say otherwise is ridiculous. My last word on this.

Everyone has bias, and that's a fact.

Bias is based on opinion. I look at the hard facts and leave it at that. I am biased in terms of feeling the gov is a hot mess of a colonized cover-up.  Beyond that I only care about facts. 

 

Fact is everything they say has and will be twisted,  misconstrued and flat out lies. 

 

I mean you start talking about bias when you are faced with hard facts. That shows your not open for a legit discussion to learn from. 

 

Feel free to believe what they feed you. I don't, I actually look for and find the truth behind their lies. 

 

Peace to ya...

Actually, bias is based on experiences and influence, as well as natural cognitive process. Opinions are formed in part by our biases. If one's experience is consuming Fox's news, shaft AND balls, and generally kibitzing with an uneducated crowd who thinks the government is out to take their money, then yeah, I can see what you're eating and where it's coming from. Mmm.

 

I love informed discussion about climate. However, if your "smoking gun" is the government is a hot mess of a "colonized cover-up", and climate change isn't real because someone is trying to make money, I'm done. That's some hot bovine scatology covered in horsefeathers, and tangential to the effect that industrialization has on climate.

 

Peace? Are you off in a huff to go watch cartoons, too?

There must be a minimum level of education or we argue with ourselves. 
This is also why wars start.  Atlas brings reality to those who are unable or choose not to engage in facts. Facts are facts regardless of what we BELIEVE. 

 

Thanks for trying.

You know what we called marines and sailors who could not figure out who and where the real enemy was in combat? Casualties. 
 

Most of the pap I read online are mostly men who would be dead ☠️ in combat because they can’t get outside their head.

If I bring up education, the retort is usually either something about elites, or liberal brainwashing camps (colleges/universities). It's a trained response to discredit higher education and distract from what universities really do. Guess what? I've been, and it's not what people who haven't been think it is, but a lot of people sure do change their opinions of things there. Gee, I wonder why education is under attack right now.

 

But I'm not even talking about holding a degree here. I'm talking about considering and studying the volumes of information on climate change. Anyone can choose to educate themselves as long as they can read and listen. I am not an expert on climate change. But I can poke holes in and logically sort out all the arguments which have nothing to do with it.

Absolutely,  my Grandad had a 1920 Monroe, Louisiana  1 room HS education and read the dictionary and encyclopedia Brittanica to inform himself. He was a master machinist who never made more than $10 a day. He taught Sunday school and read everything he could get his hands and eyes on. 
He could speak to anyone on just about any subject and was openminded about learning. 
 

There’s no excuse to use the internet as our only source of self education. 
 

Read something you THINK you disagree with. Otherwise you are cannon fodder for today’s water hose of falsehoods.

That's a lost art. I would say it is one of THE defining factors separating older generations (born <1940) and younger generations. The willingness to understand and listen for its own sake.

I’ll just say this without getting long winded. And there’s really no way to debate this. Because of bias. You two are definitely biased. I have changed my opinion on policy because of research. I have nothing but time. Debating you two is of course is useless. Calling a certain person a child predator is a good example. And eliminating any chance of debating. I’ve learned things here certainly. It’s mostly entertainment for me. I’ve been in a bubble working with the family and certainly in my field. You guys certainly have been entertaining with your belief structure. Your research has certainly been narrow basically to bolster your belief system. So continue with your amusing blathering. I will be amused as usual.

We're all ears, Stan. Share with us something we don't know about climate change which completely refutes what even oil companies know to be true. But don't talk politics or media or any of that, just climate science and nothing else.

      Oil Consumption

      By diyer2 · Posted

      I have changed oil and filter for years by starting a cold engine to warm oil up, let it run 5-10 minutes depending on temperature. Drain until it starts dripping, refill with quantity from owners manual or get it close.

      Fluid Change Questions

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I changed the factory fill oil in the rear diff of my truck for the first time today and the miles is close to 9000 on the truck. There was a lot of fines on the magnet, a very thick layer but working it through my fingers it all felt like mush and as most know it appears like graphite, so no surprise chunks anyway. Certainly was time to do it from my thinking and could have been done sooner but the oil didn't look awful but sure wasn't new looking and never expected it to either. I did use some solvent to help me clean out the bottom area of the axle housing, just get any other stuff settled at the bottom washed and wiped out of the housing for the bit of effort it takes. I used Amsoil Severe Gear 75W90 in the easy packs to try out what they are like and I used up 4 packs and didn't spill much at all in the process but did take all four of the packs and go to the work bench and emptied them into a measuring container and there certainly was some in them that added up to something, then poured that into one of the easy packs and squirted in what I could get out of it. I would say the level is within 1/8th of an inch of being level with the threads at the fill plug so just the perfect amount. Once again, more than what GM says the fill volume is but computes with what others are adding to their rear diffs as well.

      Oil Consumption

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      So speaking of oil consumption with my L8T as I just changed the oil yesterday and made the switch over to Amsoil SS 0W-40 from the Mobil 1  5W-30 Truck and SUV I just dropped out. 2900 miles on that oil as well as  68 hours on that oil ( so used to equipment with an hour meter and that becomes valuable information to compare with others as well ). Once again the oil use was so very little, I am going to say it dropped under 1/16 of an inch on the dipstick. No towing was done and this interval was from early spring until now.    One interesting item to note is that going by the 5 quart jugs I was using before from Mobil, it was showing that I was putting in 8 US quarts to bring it to full if not slightly over the full mark according to their jug markings. Granted I did allow more drain time this time and in part because the engine oil was only lukewarm as I started it and let it idle and not for long enough to get the oil itself hot ( the engine was up to operating temp ). The oil in that state just seemed to take forever for it to drip out but not only at the drain plug but at the oil filter housing as well, perhaps I had never quite gotten all the oil out before and I could have still waited longer but as it was I waited well over 3 hours. I think next time if I have the time I will do an experiment by dropping the oil and lets say leave the pan under it for 15 minutes, then switch to another pail and let it drip out overnight and measure how much more oil comes out. So this time and yes I ended up getting it just over the full mark as I was experimenting with trying to get the level to the add mark after I had run it and then waited some and then added a bit and waited for a certain amount of time for it to settle to the add mark. I very well may not have waited long enough for that experiment but I got to the add mark, then dumped in a full quart and waited some and checked and then waited some more and it crept up more ... and then finally oops, it was slightly over full some hours later when it really had settled all it would. I find this engine sure takes time for the last bit of oil that gets poured in to finally make its way into the crank case. I can only guess at how much too much I added as per maybe a 1/10th of a quart. I had poured in 8.5 quarts going by the quart containers as per 8 quarts and 16 us ounces. I was shocked at how much this was off compared to the prior oil changes and if those larger jugs and they are not marked accurately enough or they contain slightly more than what they say, or the drain time factor made that much of a difference. But I know on this forum there have been others who have said they have put well over 8 quarts in their L8T and now I have also going by the Amsoil true quart containers. Its a confusing convoluted mess up here in Canada with some oil manufactures packaging is in true US quarts, some is also in true US quarts containers on an even number of quarts but also marked in liters which becomes the odd ball volume of a fractional amount of liters. Then there is the Liters only containers, no US markings as its a true metric container and only measured in Liters to an even number of Liters. But remember we used to have Imperial Gallons and Imperial quarts as well !.

      Holy smokes. Clearly not a deal on that truck. I just mean in general, matte or painted trim is becoming more normative than chrome, but I know the Black Optics packages on various vehicles are being sold as uplevel trims. They look really good, but sheesh. It's just paint and plastic.
