  1. It was politicized, weaponized, and maybe even created as a weapon. The Chinese Communist Party had one big problem. And now, it's gone. But it has always been real and deadly. And I got the vaccine as soon as I could. I wish Phil had been smart enough to see it for what it was. Maybe he will come out of this as a much smarter guy. And for all the politicians that exploited this thing, I hope they all get scabies.

  2. We got real financial problems coming to us all soon, not just inflation. It is funny how the gullible are believing the ‘transitory’ bs. I can’t believe they even tried to sell that to the people.

  4. I think this was meant mostly in jest but in case it was not. We all understand how politicized this has been and I don't want big brother mandating anything, but I can assure you turning the TV off will have no affect on how severe your case of COVID can be. I figure Phil is the prime example.

  5. My dad got a check engine light last week. I used my $15 code reader to scan it and figure out it was related to the MAF sensor. Start looking closer under the hood and his air filter cover wasn't on. The idiots at Jiffy lube installed a new air filter and didn't even put the cover on right. So he was sucking in dirt for a week. I'm thankful I've learned how to work on both vehicles. The only thing I've paid a shop to do recently was an alignment. I would never trust a place like Jiffy Lube.

  6. LOL! I’m $300+ into this “free fix” so far, but really enjoyed the time with my son. He’s starting a career and trying to make a name for himself, so he’s working about 65 hours a week. Between that and his girlfriend, there isn’t a lot of time left for ole dad. I’m glad to help when I can.

  8. Do prices go up, or does the dollar go down? It really doesn't matter. If you see inflation coming, buy commodities. These concepts are way more simple than people understand. If you buy silver, for example, and silver doubles, did you make any real money? That depends on only one real variable. If the dollar did anything less than get cut in half, you lost money relative to that metric. Just because you got more dollars does not mean you got more money! But hedge yourself across a number of possibilities so that when/if the dollar dwindles/collapses you have way more dollars to show for it. Way more cheaper dollars is worth a lot more than way less cheaper dollars.

  12. How old is Phil? He looks young. My 64 year old dad was helping me hang drywall today and told me he's to finally decided to get the vaccine. I was thrilled.

  13. That kind of president would score really low marks in some places. The mainstream media would turn against him, and would make it their number one goal to destroy him. Hell, even a bunch of our friends would turn against him.

  15. I'm don't subscribe to a deity, but I did spend some time in a church as a kid without it catching on fire, so I learned a little. I can't help but compare people in dire straits who haven't gotten the vaccine to that story of a man on a rooftop during a flood who had a weather report, a rowboat, and a helicopter that could have given him safety at different times, but he sent them all away because he felt God would protect him. Then after he died in the flood, he asked God what happened, only to learn God had sent the report, the rowboat, and the helicopter. I hope all of them come out okay, and I hope anyone still hesitant considers what we're seeing.

  17. https://www.foxnews.com/us/would-be-robbers-los-angeles-gun-defend Would-be robbers shot by armed shoppers in Los Angeles Victim was standing on a parking lot holding a shopping bag when the would-be robbers rolled in A man armed with a handgun defended himself during an attempted robbery in Los Angeles, and left two suspects with bullet wounds to the legs, police say. "Words were apparently exchanged, and the victim ultimately produces a handgun, apparently to defend himself and others in his group from the would-be robbery suspects. The victim fired his weapon towards the suspects and then all parties immediately fled the location," the Los Angeles Police Department recounted in a press release Tuesday. The attempted robbery unfolded Monday on Melrose Ave. when two men exited an idling Dodge Avenger, with one of the men producing a handgun. Video footage shows the men confronting a man with a shopping bag and two women who were standing on the parking lot. The male victim, who was reportedly the target of the robbery, produced his own handgun and sent the two suspects running as he opened fire. Police arrested and identified the two suspects as Nicholas Brown and Markeil Hayes, both of Los Angeles, and said they were both booked on attempted robbery and are currently on parole. PHILADELPHIA RECORDS MORE THAN 300 HOMICIDES SO FAR THIS YEAR, BREAKING DECADE RECORD Brown sustained a gunshot to the upper left thigh while Hayes was shot in the right calf. Police are still searching for the third suspect and asking the public for help tracking him down. "The Los Angeles Police Department is aggressively addressing a rise in violent crime in the Melrose area over the past year and is pursuing all leads involved in this and other crimes," police added in the press release. Police did not immediately return Fox News's request for additional comment on the crime. VENICE BEACH VIOLENCE REACHES BOILING POINT IN L.A. AS NEW VIRAL VIDEO EMERGES Homicides in Los Angeles are up 25% this year, with South Los Angeles seeing a 50% increase in killings. Violent crimes have also been increasing in cities across the nation, including in Philadelphia where gun crimes have ticked up significantly.

  23. If these electro vehicles arent annoying enough now. I was watching a vid on the new found science of the Sun's magnetic fields. Its pretty interesting to see how the sun functions with what they know at this point. It all boils down to we just finished up a magnetic short cycle and thats when the new cycle of increasing intensities come on at very high levels creating the most intense solar flares. The next few years are forcasted to be the most potentially powerful EMP producers that we have seen in decades. Just another reason to buy that model A pick up I'v been wanting ever since My High school buddy and me used to tool around in his Dad's Model A 5 window coup way back when. We could hit 50 wound right tight going down hill!

  24. Great analogy. I think more and more are seeing it in a similar fashion. Also they are beginning to question the source, the timing, and the political reactions from the situation. For me, there is no hesitation in saying it was from the Chinese, and that the release was in an effort to damage and possibly destroy the financial position of the US and the world at large. There is in my mind, little to suggest a rational theory otherwise. As far as the political aspect...it succeeded. Trump gone. Controlled Joe in charge(supposedly), and the majority of the dems and the left are hell bent on "changing America for the better."

  26. I worked on a 300ZX with 2200 miles that was towed in. took more than a week to find the throttle linkage was cutting into the wires to one injector blowing the two 30 amp fuses for the FI. that was 1986 and injector harnesses are STILL crappy. Raoul has a point, covid has helped deteriorate these things by lack of use. Could be worse though. Hooked up my friends Matrix and found two trans codes. That'll cost her.

  27. Actually, I've been accused of not analyzing things enough. Now, I must say that we all have our opinions, and I too would like a vacation from this particular reality. But I don't really see how. I've tried the "bury my head in the sand and ignore everything" method. That doesn't work for me. I'm not particularly intelligent, especially compared with some of those here; but I see just too much that doesn't add up or make the very least bit of sense. Examples would be the CRT push in our schools, the insanity of pre-k and giving our children to the wildly leftest teachers for an additional several years of indoctrination. Others out there, but don't really feel up to going into a long tirade this morning.

  30. Considering the amount of high quality course material from high quality trainers built around ECQC, I’d venture that a lot of smarter, better trained, and more experienced people than me would say that you are incorrect in that view. You’re not always going to see the attack coming. It is a possibility to end up on the ground with someone having hands on you fighting to get to/keep control of your defensive tools or having to make contact shots. It’s not an unknown or unconsidered issue. As an example, my Hellcat has a stand-off device built into its guide rod to prevent exactly the kind of issue that will result in a PDP having a dead trigger.

  31. If I'm pushing my gun into someone then trying to shoot them afterwords, a whole lot is already wrong. I don't see this as a "flaw". Well, no more a flaw than polyagonal rifling or non fully supported chambers.

  33. LOL! We got my boy’s Toyota back together and it spit, sputtered, and then wouldn’t even crank. Couldn’t hear the fuel pump. Couldn’t find anything we left unplugged. We swapped the relay out with the one in my truck and it ran like new. Swapped them back and it still ran like new. I still can’t hear the fuel pump. I guess it took a little whole for it to prime it’s self. I still don’t know why I can’t hear the fuel pump. Got my Ford back together and it cranked and ran like new immediately. I can hear it’s fuel pump. It’s the one I got at a repo auction for $2700 and has 226k miles. I’m amazed every time I turn the key and something happens.

  34. I read One Second after, a while back and a few similar books. This time of year would be the worst time for a power outage or grid down scenario. I find fall and winter quite tolerable even if we didn’t have power in Tennessee. At least for the short term. But this heat is beginning to get bad. Maybe some day I will even buy a generator, but it’s debatable if it would work after a major EMP event.

  38. It's paid. $250 a night if you have your own equipment. $300 if you use his. I've hunted private land that was free. It was a small airport that was having problems. We killed 17 in about 20 minutes, but that was it for that trip. They were happy. If you have never hunted at night, I strongly suggest you go with an outfitter first. At the very least don't go alone. It's a very different type of hunting. They keep an eye on you a try and keep you out of trouble. This time of year I hunt about 3 to 4 days a week at night on depredation permits. We pass up a lot of shots due to shooting vectors in relation to houses. We hunt with T4 outfitters in Texas. They have access to 46k acres. No high fence. They even offer knife hunting. We are currently looking at a few others. Hog swat is in South Georgia and will give you a bunch of options. We've had people offer to pay us if we'll come kill hogs.

  44. Domestic instability doesn't lend itself to altruism. I've spent the last 15 years maintaining a certain level of hand loaded ammo. I'm not greedy and I haven't accumulated a crazy amount of reloading supplies. But I have enough that I am not a contributer to this current hoarding frenzy. And I should be able to limp through the Crazy Joe administration without depriving any of you lessor prepared folks the ability to stalk Wal-Mart on a daily ammo run.
