Oooooh, but mask mandates! Cloth masks! You want your surgeon not to wear a mask!!

People are gullible and stupid, yet they'll call free thinkers unable to defend their opinion. Remember me? I'm the guy that said I will not be getting injected with an experimental shot that has not been tested.

Remember those who said I should follow the science? Yet the science wasn't settled. That's the nature of science. It's never settled. And now it shows those very shots do... not... work. You still get infected, you can still spread the virus.

And now the CDC who was telling us to wear those masks... is now saying they are wholly ineffective and only the N95 or better will suffice.

Huh... who saw that coming? *raises hand*



I agree with you, mang. This whole thing has been a super weird mindf**k. My inner tinfoil hat wearing conspiracy theorist thinks it was a trial run for something bigger coming a few years from now.

My inner rational self sees mask mandates as the basic 'we're doing SOMETHING' move by gubmints that happens in any crisis.

Wait... ya'll were talking about the science and NOT ZZ Top? That's just dumb. Awesome song though.

Admittedly I was a Navy engineer... which is to say I worked on boilers, turbines, pumps and such... so I dealt with kinetic and potential energy, not the relativity of physics crapola. The math equations... hypnotic. Put me right to sleep.

Give me some tools and point me to the broken sh*t.


You remind me of my brother. He is a machinist.

Talking about science is…..not really so dumb. Besides, Lagrange points have been in the news.
It’s where they parked the new space telescope. They are eddy spots in Earth orbit where things don’t get pulled away cause of gravity. Earth has five such points. Gravimetric equilibrium, in the charming parlances of astrophysics.

But I digress….

You can read and regurgitate. Impressive! (no, it isn't)

Can you do your own brake job? Or do you have to call your brother? Do you wear a mask if you do the brake job?

Asbestos and such... Should probably wear an N95, though... those asbestos fibers can easily slip right through the cracks. And newsflash... asbestos fibers are a LOT larger than Virion.

So yeah... Science.

For the record... I just pay to have my breaks done.

Actually, I just pay for most things involving work.

I'm quite lazy.

I do change my own oil though... drive up the ramps... unscrew a couple things... then I have an excuse to sit in the garage smoking and drinking beers.

At least I have an opinion. Too bad Victor disappeared... you were good at following him around like chester following spike saying... "Yeah! What he said!"

Next time you have an original thought will be the first time. Know what's funny? I've had 4 glasses of whiskey and I can still type more coherently than you do sober.

Now... if ya'll will esssssssscuuuuuuuse me...

For some reason ZZ Top's La Grange is stuck in my head... A haw, haw, haw, haw

the way I read the thread, Spey was talking about rayr, not you.

For those of you tiring of Covid-19 and government mandates I would like to remind you that the planet faces an existential threat from climate change unless we act immediately and declare a state of emergency just as soon as the pandemic state of emergency expires.

I think they're trying to squeeze a revolution between those two events, so if you could nudge the climate change thing back just a touch to make room that would be great.

It may be your bad, but the fact is I did not insult you. On the other hand you chose to insult me in a spiteful manner.

I make money off climate change, not wars and revolutions!

Note to self: hedge bets and switch some investments to war.

I didn't have enough. I tied one on with Powers Gold celebrating the return home from behind enemy lines. I had to stay there a week and 1/2 longer than expected due to isolating from what probably was Omicron, I tested positive. Flu can kill 8 month olds, this would could too. Our son is the most important person in the world to us.

Bought it Jersey with the early beings of body cancer. Got it repainted and drove it to texas. The rust never came back.

Put a header on it, sway bars, max wide wheels. Ran 60s on it - which was bad azz in the day…..

Sky blue four speed.

I was tired one night and I went to the bar to have a few drinks. The bartender asked me, “What’ll you have?” I said, “Surprise me.” He showed me a naked picture of my wife.

A high school friend and a roommate for the first two years in college... his dad had a 280Z. He didn't let us drive it drive it though. Bass turd.

Can't really blame him though. First couple years in college, he rented out one of his houses to us and our group of friends. We ended up trashing the place within a year - think Animal House. One of many chapters in my life that I'm able to look back on and think... wholly crap, I'm lucky to be alive.

My third car that I owed in my early years was a Datusun 210 hatchback. The front end frame eventually rotted out but was still (sort of) road worthy enough to get me back and forth to class at UW-Eau Claire in the late 80's. Not bad for a $300 junker. The tape deck and speakers that we installed in the hatch could be heard blocks away if we cranked it up.

Prior to the 210 was a Ford Maverick. It was a trusty old steed. Think I bought it for around $250. Had to put it out to pasture when the heating core and coolant system $hit the bed.

In my experience living in the northeast... ALL cars are rustbuckets unless meticulously cared for. The weather, humidity, sand and salt on the roads just destroy them.

Southwest... no issues. 30 year old cars, not a spot of rust on 'em.
