  1. Safe as the precautions taken by the folks cooking for you at those places... I did hear that Chipotle is offering free delivery, so that's something. I'm not convinced Chipotle/McDonald's/whoever are committed to sending Coughy McSniffles home if they show up sick for their shift. That said, I'll be cooking dinner and packing lunch for a while.
  2. That's a long time to hold your breath my man.
  3. Came across this comment from reddit, a good read:
  4. Yea... They make it very obvious when they quit functioning correctly, with lights/alarms, etc. Such alarms are often classified as annoying by staff and disabled, and so the systems in place linger not functioning for longer than they should. Comparing COVID-19 to the flu is valid, but using that comparison to minimize it's severity is mostly a farce, and it's unfortunate that it keeps getting repeated. If you consider all of "the numbers" rather than selectively ignoring some metrics, they show that this is MORE infectious, MORE easily spread, and MORE serious to the "at risk" population than seasonal influenza. While the bulk of the population is not considered "at risk", this is really meaningless because that's the case with the seasonal flu as well. At minimum this should be treated as a second flu entirely, but one that is much more serious for the reasons I already touched on. It's additionally more serious because none of the population has been vaccinated against it, its multiple strains haven't been fully evaluated, availability of testing is still lagging behind demand, and it's been suggested that China has misrepresented it's data to under-represent the severity in their country.
  5. Good news is good to hear. I don't typically handle direct sales, but manage larger projects and contracted work for a big corporation that does lots of other things. We do a lot of HVAC controls and automation in Ohio Health facilities. Pressure controlled spaces like isolation/quarantine rooms are pretty popular topics these days.
  6. Great... One of my biggest customers is Ohio Health. Will be in a meeting at Grant tomorrow .
  7. Samesies with my employer. I support it, but i view it as much as a precautionary effort as a fantastic opportunity for the accountants to easily justify pocketing several months of savings on corporate travel... Savings associated with cancelled training, tradeshow appearances, etc. All in the name of corporate health/wealth.

    Very cool, as well as impressive from GM. Not sold on the looks yet but I need to see one in person.
  9. Daaaang. I hope you got decent value in scrap. Steel salvaged from the wreck site of the Titanic is up right now.

    Iran

    Super duper ugh on a facebook link to a video provided by GOPleader.gov, but thanks. Actually a seemingly reasonable dude and a mostly valid description from what I know. Still waiting on someone from either side of the aisle to recognize there are people in the middle and acknowledge their perspective. I imagine I'll be waiting a while as the "middle" doesn't bring enough votes alone to elect anybody. I would say that this guys point was more along the lines of "Trump administration took action, which can be viewed as positive in some regards", and much less "doing this was great, and the way we did it was fantastic and justified".

    Iran

    Which people have said this? Have they provided some actual perspective on the implications of doing so? No shit, taking out bad guys isn't a terrible idea... but I've not heard a case for why executing it as we did was worthwhile given the fallout.

    Thanks! Shipping to me actually came out to $127. Best deal I've seen also.

    Gun goals 2020

    I joined a range/gun club here not far from home late last year, so I plan to shoot a lot more this year. My wife also bought me my very first AR-15 for Xmas, which was a surprise. I've shot plenty of them with friends, but now have my own to play with/work on (S&W Sport 2). I plan to continue improving my pistol proficiency, and to get the wife more comfortable as well. Also strongly considering buying a Ruger Mark 4, but currently have a Mark 3 (Bull Barrel Target Model in Stainless) that I'd like to sell first. If anyone is interested please let me know. I will always have a .22 pistol and my current Ruger has been sweet. Joe, I'd be interested in HMR .17 deals and would like to stock up if your deal is still good.
  14. Just don't. Bad for all the same reasons drop-in HID kits aren't a good idea. Just led drivers now instead of HID ballasts.
  15. I agree, and have some semblance of hope that there are still sane people around. Please vote.
  16. How did you arrive at this conclusion?
  17. Call around to some local marinas. This kind of work is what gets most of them through the winters in Ohio, and often they have used good motors from customers who have upgraded or traded in. Fisher's marina in Buckeye Lake can likely help. Eddie Fisher and his son have always taken good care of our family's boats over the years.
  18. Any other pics of this thing? What's the rust story?
  19. Jag or Merc with base rental engine doesn't outweigh the convertible factor of a V6 mustang in my opinion. You're not trying to pretend to be the assistant manager cruising, you're trying to have a good time.
  20. That's awesome actually. It's like the action of an air rifle used to crush skulls instead of launching a projectile. Cool gadgets aside, I've been successful leaving old school traps set in the basement and garage + plugging all exterior entry holes.
  21. Don't know if he goes that far, but Steve Eversole with Eversole Builders did great work for my dad. He is primarily post frame but does conventional construction also.
  22. Subscribed! A mic might help your narration audio a bit, but it was pretty solid regardless.
  23. Love it! Back when I had my stealth, there were some early Stealth's / 3000GT's that had red leather. It was always referred to as the "porno red" interior. Maybe consider carrying that torch lol.
  24. Looking forward to the YouTube on this. So very cool.

    Dear CR

    Sounds like some folks getting butthurt. One is whining about ... a variety of things. One is whining about liberals and their views. Either way, get over it ladies.
