  1. Damn, im gonna miss you guys. But I still wanna know whos got my engine hoist? Borrowed it like 16 years ago...
  2. I had an old windows phone that use to do that with T-mobile. It had something to do with available 4G bands, even though the phone was unlocked it couldn't access all the carrier provided bands so the phone would drop on and off even though it had a good signal. But I also had an old provider that used to claim dropped calls being due to sunspots...never bought into that one

  4. I waited for a good deal on the pelicans, they're well worth the money...when theyre on sale
  5. Did you put them in? Any good?
  6. https://www.ocregister.com/2017/05/21/how-some-southern-california-drug-rehab-centers-exploit-addiction/ https://www.cnn.com/2018/03/11/health/prescription-opioid-payments-eprise/index.html Whenever there's a crisis, there's always someone trying to benefit from it. Why would this be any different?
  7. Yup 2.5% death rate in Ohio so far. But the infection rate is still about .016% NY and NJ are still 50% of the cases in this country, CA and WA are the next 8%.
  8. I appreciate the good info, what I was reading is once covid is positive they ignored other tests, I'm glad to see that's not the case. Thanks for the hospital insight as well
  9. I got a quote once from one company and then was bombarded by emails and phone calls from other places. I don't remember the name of it, but they must share info so be ready if you quite online.
  10. If the cases are higher that means there's more cases with mild to no symptoms, that makes the virus even less dangerous. Just a theory, but my theory is a large number of the severe cases are actually coinfections with the H1N1, Amy acton admitted that it's possible but no one is testing for it. They attack respiratory cells from different angles and can be devastating when they're both present. As far as exponential growth, super scary, but if it doubles every 3 days that means the last 3 days accounts for 50% of the population. That growth rate just isn't sustainable. Yes the wuhan can be bad and flare ups can happen anywhere, but Ohio is doing pretty well right now.
  11. Dude, I'm sorry but its just not to that level. There are 1100 cases in Ohio, worst case hospitalization rate is about 15%, thats 165 beds. The American Hospital Directory says theres over 27000 beds in Ohio, and average about 65% full, that leaves 9,445 beds. Then you have to account for all the people that will be discharged in that time before the new cases come in. Franklin county specifically there's been 61 cases and 9 hospitalizations. Calm down
  12. My mower was having this issue, I just replaced the carb. Got the whole kit for like $20 on amazon. Depending the model there should be some fuel adjustment screw, I had an old mower that would tighten the screw with vibration to where it would cut off fuel.
  13. Thats a bummer man. Its a virus, not a boogeyman thats going to get you in the middle of the night. Maybe I 'm not scared enough
  14. I thought Kung flu was good, but just saw these other ones: Sweet and Sour Sicken Wumonia Bat Soup Croup Flu Man Chu Communist Lung Herpes
  15. Clay, you've given great points and I'm glad we could discuss them with civility. You're still my favorite
  16. I will blame the media for a lot of the hysteria. When it's found the lethality rate is actually 1% in the US and not 3-4% (and less than 1% if you consider the Seattle nursing home as its own cluster event), they had an opportunity to say "not as deadly as once thought," instead the headine is "10 times more deadly than the flu!" They spin it exactly the way they need to keep people watching. We disagree because we are looking at the issue from different perspectives and that's great, we need different perspectives. I don't think this virus is as bad as they say, when Trump said no big deal, it wasn't a big deal. We were at 10,000 cases in the same amount of time that the swine flu had reached 1 million people. That's a big difference. Is that saying it can't reach that number? no, but like I said before NY, CA, WA, and NJ are driving the numbers way up. The real issue is that we're paralleling a really bad seasonal outbreak of H1N1, so combine them and the situation is a lot worse. But if you keep everyone focused on the new exotic disease, then they keep people watching.
  17. Don't get a mini, man. I was looking at A3s and GTIs, but the "reliable" years were out of my range which was $4-5k too, ended up getting a V6 accord, handles texas pretty well.
  18. Another plug for rivers edge, its been years but they were awesome before
  19. In response to the Nigeria overdoses, I doubt any of them saw Trump's speech, nor cared. They probably got a rumor from a chain of people, just like that ridiculous stuff about the national guard mobilizing for martial law, and made a poor decision based on it. I mean, 44 people in Iran died from methanol poisoning because they heard a rumor that alcohol kills corona. You can't put that on Trump. I guess I'm still not sure exactly what he's done wrong except not speaking with the demeanor you prefer? The rise of the economy can be directly attributed to his actions, but you can't deny that the market is down due to this pandemic. If no one is flying or going to the movies because they don't want to get sick, that's a little different then providing beneficial tax cuts to bring back industries that were outsourced to China or Mexico. IMHO, this wuhan outbreak isn't as bad as the media is portraying. The problem is, good ol H1N1 is making a comeback hard this year and is hospitalizing young people worse than the 2009 pandemic (0-4 yrs old and 18-49) or second only to 2009 (5-17 yrs old). So if you have one disease affecting one group and another disease affecting another, you have to take some dire actions. I would rather people complain about how he speaks to a reporter, then spend more time contributing to panic and making the situation worse than it is. Just my opinion
  20. Ohio is averaging about 2-3 cases a day (Since it hit the US). With 11 Million people that's like a .002% chance of infection. Hang in there guys. Sarcasm aside, Ohio is doing pretty good, has the lowest number of cases among all the states >10 million people. CA, WA, NY, and NJ are a different story,

    I hope it works. Ohio seems far and away more 'Murica then Texas does right now

    Sorry late to chime in, but I'm in San Antonio now. Lived here in 2011 and 2015 and loved it. However do to some poor leadership this place is falling apart. Roads are garbage and the highways are expanding at about a third of the rate of housing development. It was a big city with small town feel before, now it's just a big city where everyone thinks they're the most important person, when clearly I'm the most important. My commute use to be 35 minutes, now it's an hour and a half. Same distance. All my cars have windshield cracks from the rocks and trash on the roads. We live in one of the good parts of town and the school was built for about 450 kids and it's pushing 900. Everything's overcrowded. Certain policies , or maybe just the policymakers, are destroying commerce and the schools around here, Fun town to visit, but we'll be moving back to Ohio as soon as I get my air Force separation approved.
  23. USAA is awesome, they will deal with the other insurance company for you. As far as diminished value, not much you can do about that. Just save the paperwork from when it was repaired so when the person sees it on carfax you have a good answer. Nothing worse than mystery damage when buying used cars
  24. I ended up selling it. oh well, onto the next project
