E4 No More

So sorry to hear about this. Praying for you and yours.

Welcome.

I don't think that he intends to move here. Just joining the forum for the camaraderie.

Congratulations.

The arteries branch out before that, but their intestines won't be very good.

Increase in population will have an increase in the death rate. I think the point he was making is the percent of growth in the death rate during Oblamo's time versus other time.

Or head shots. 2 inches below the belly button will put them in a wheelchair for the rest of their life. Hard to riot and loot from a wheelchair.

They are killing people and getting body armor. That is not good.

Facebook is inundated with these ads because the riot organizers are calling for all rioters to start wearing body armor.

I had some weird illness at the end of January. It was like pneumonia in that I lost my breath easily, and my pulse-ox was low. It lasted for two weeks. I asked my doctor about having an anti-body test, and he said that the test was only 25 to 50 percent accurate and wasn't worth taking it. It would be nice to know if I had it and didn't know it.

And the Kamala birther thing. He said that he had no idea about that, yet someone on this very forum recently claimed that he said it.

No. Your body regulates it. https://www.atsdr.cdc.gov/phs/phs.asp?id=218&tid=39 Once in your body, formaldehyde is rapidly broken down into other chemicals. Most of these other chemicals quickly leave your body in the urine. Formaldehyde can also be converted to carbon dioxide and breathed out of the body. But that doesn't mean that you should drink it.

Like what? https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/321207#what-is-in-a-flu-shot-and-why What is in a flu shot and why? Many vaccines for flu and other viruses contain similar ingredients. The purpose of each ingredient is to either make the vaccine effective or ensure that it is safe. Many studies over the years have shown that flu vaccines are safe. The CDC say that it is the best way to avoid getting the flu and spreading it to other people. The following list looks at seven ingredients in vaccines, including flu shots, and why vaccines need them: 1. Influenza viruses The flu vaccine contains tiny amounts of the viruses it protects against. The presence of these viruses in the vaccine triggers the body’s natural defense mechanism to produce antibodies to fight them. This means that the body quickly recognizes them when exposed to the disease in “real life.” Different influenza viruses contained in a flu shot are: influenza A virus H1N1 called the Michigan strain Influenza A virus H3N2 called the Hong Kong strain one or two influenza B viruses called the Brisbane and Phuket strains Traditional flu shots are trivalent (three-component) vaccines because they protect against three viruses: two influenza A viruses (H1N1 and H3N2), and one influenza B virus. A person can also get a quadrivalent (four-component) vaccine, which protects against an additional B virus. 2. Formaldehyde Formaldehyde is toxic and potentially lethal in high doses. However, it is present in such small amounts in a flu vaccination that it is harmless. Formaldehyde’s role in the flu shot is to inactivate toxins from viruses and bacteria that may contaminate the vaccine during production, as well as the viruses naturally present in the vaccine. Formaldehyde is typically present in the human body and is a product of healthy digestive function. 3. Aluminum Salts Aluminum has been used in vaccines for over 70 years. Aluminum salts are adjuvants, meaning that they help the body to develop a stronger immune response against the virus in the vaccine. Because they boost the body’s response, this means that the vaccine can contain smaller amounts of the virus. Similar to formaldehyde, and to most ingredients in the flu shot, the amount of aluminum present in the vaccine is extremely small. This compound is not always present in flu vaccines, some of which are aluminum-free. 4. Thimerosal Thimerosal is a preservative that keeps the vaccine free from contamination by bacteria and fungi. Without this, the growth of bacteria and fungi is common when a syringe is in a multi-dose vial (a vial that contains more than one dose). Thimerosal is made of an organic form of mercury known as ethylmercury, a safe compound that usually only stays in the blood for a few days. It is different from the standard mercury that can cause illness in large doses, and from the mercury found in seafood (called methylmercury), which can stay in the body for years. Flu shots will only contain thimerosal when they are in a multi-dose vial. Single-dose vials, pre-filled syringes, and nasal sprays do not need to include this preservative because contamination is not an issue. 5. Chicken egg proteins Proteins from chicken eggs help viruses to grow before they go into the vaccine. Influenza viruses used in vaccines are usually grown inside fertilized chicken eggs, where the virus makes copies of itself. After that, the viruses are separated from the egg and placed in the vaccine; this means that the finished vaccine may contain small amounts of egg proteins. The CDC say that the flu shot is typically safe for people with egg allergies, but those who have an egg allergy must mention it to the doctor before receiving the shot. A person with a severe egg allergy may require monitoring by a doctor following the injection. Egg-free flu shots are also available. 6. Gelatin Gelatin is present in the flu shot as a stabilizer. Stabilizers keep the vaccine effective from the point of production to the moment of use. Stabilizers also help to protect the vaccine from the damaging effects of heat or freeze-drying. Most flu vaccines use pork-based gelatin as a stabilizer. 7. Antibiotics Antibiotics are present in the flu vaccine to keep bacteria from growing during the production and storage of the vaccine. Vaccines do not contain antibiotics that may cause severe reactions, such as penicillin. Instead, vaccines contain other forms of antibiotics, such as gentamicin or neomycin. Neomycin is also an ingredient in many topical medications, such as lotions, ointments, and eye drops.

Having been issued both A1 and A2 versions of the M16 in the Marine Corps, I would go to the A2 version because the rear sight is able to be adjusted by hand. With the A1 you have to use the tip of a bullet or some other similarly shaped tool. https://palmettostatearmory.com/psa-20-classic-a2-rifle.html

@The Legion What do you mean by "new"? The new Pythons are stainless steel, no?

They're giving away free popcorn machines?

@OMCHamlin Check county codes before going down that road. When we were looking at land in Wilson and Rutherford counties we discovered both had laws disallowing any new modular homes in the county.

Yes, it did. My father would get me fireworks through his work, and always got Black Cats. For some reason that year the fireworks had extremely faster fuses than the previous years. I didn't hold anymore of them in my hands that year.

An experienced realtor that's not tied to a builder is your best bet for a recommendation. Mine told me who to consider and who to run away from.

I owned a Savage a few years ago. It's pretty darned accurate for a rifle at that price.

When I grew up, the news reported spontaneous amputations of fingers and hands from "fireworks." I assumed they were illegal fireworks because I've had ten Black Cats go off in my hand at once and didn't lose a digit.

They still exist: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Model_warship_combat

I've been told that some folks have taken oxygen/acetylene mixtures and filled balloons with it. Then they tie a long fuse to it, light the fuse, and release the balloon into the air. I hear it makes a really big BOOM!
