I'm surprised CBS let him get away with this...AMEN ANDY ROONEY !

 

 

 

Right on, Andy Rooney!

 

Andy Rooney said on "60 Minutes":

 

I don't think being a minority makes you a victim of anything except

numbers. The only things I can think of that are truly discriminatory

are things like the United Negro College Fund, Jet Magazine, Black

Entertainment Television, and Miss Black America. Try to have things

like the United Caucasian College Fund, Cloud Magazine, White

Entertainment Television, or Miss White America; and see what

happens...Jesse Jackson will be knocking down your door. Guns do not

make you a killer. I think killing makes you a killer. You can kill

someone with a baseball bat or a car, but no one is trying to ban you

from driving to the ball game.

 

I believe they are called the Boy Scouts for a reason, that is why

there are no girls allowed. Girls belong in the Girl Scouts! ARE YOU

LISTENING MARTHA BURKE?

 

I have the right "NOT" to be tolerant of others because they are

different, weird, or tick me off.

 

When 70% of the people who get arrested are black, in cities where 70%

of the population is black, that is not racial profiling, it is the Law

of Probability.

 

I believe that if you are selling me a milkshake, a pack of cigarettes,

a newspaper or a hotel room, you must do it in English! As a matter of

fact, if you want to be an American citizen, you should have to speak

English!

 

My father and grandfather didn't die in vain so you can leave the

countries you were born in to come over and disrespect ours. I think

the police should have every right to shoot your sorry ass if you

threaten them after they tell you to stop. If you can't understand the

word "freeze" or "stop" in English, see the above lines.

 

I don't think just because you were not born in this country, you are

qualified for any special loan programs, government sponsored bank

loans or tax breaks, etc., so you can open a hotel, coffee shop,

trinket store, or any other business.

 

We did not go to the aid of certain foreign countries and risk our

lives in wars to defend their freedoms, so that decades later they

could come over here and tell us our constitution is a living document;

and open to their interpretations.

 

I don't hate the rich. I don't pity the poor.

 

I know pro wrestling is fake, but so are movies and television. That

doesn't stop you from watching them.

 

I think Bill Gates has every right to keep every penny he made and

continue to make more. If it ticks you off, go and invent the next

operating system that's better, and put your name on the building.

 

It doesn't take a whole village to raise a child right, but it does

take a parent to stand up to the kid; and smack their little behinds

when necessary, and say "NO!"

 

I think tattoos and piercing are fine if you want them, but please

don't pretend they are a political statement. And, please, stay home

until that new lip ring heals. I don't want to look at your ugly

infected mouth as you serve me French fries!

 

I am sick of "Political Correctness." I know a lot of black people, and

not a single one of them was born in Africa ; so how can they be

"African-Americans"? Besides, Africa is a continent. I don't go around

saying I am a European-American because my great, great, great, great,

great, great grandfather was from Europe. I am proud to be from

America and nowhere else

 

And if you don't like my point of view, tough SH*T...!!

Actually, he did not say this, although he may have thought it. This has been around the 'net for a year or so.

 

Very little that is on the 'net is fact, one must wade thru a lot of :D to get the truth.

Again, sorry to say but this is all made upand Untrue ANDY ROONEY did not say these things. This is all internet BS and has been passed around for a long time.

Sorry to bear bad news.

Even if Andy Rooney didn't say it - it still needs to be said.

 

I don't think there is too much the most of us don't agree with.

I can agree to that!

I just get urked when BS is passed for gospel on the 'net or elsewhere.

The truth is more powerful.

      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

      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.

      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.
