  1. Looks awesome, and looks very similar to the trails around Ouray, Telluride, and Silverton. Dunno how close you were to there, but the trip I took to Ouray and rented a jeep was one of the best trips ever. Slightly terrifying (got lost well after dark at 11000 feet) but survived so totally worth it lol. I'll have to dig up my pics. Jealous you live out there!
  2. I'm betting the 5:30 address has to do with more counties entering into the RED ZONE and Ohio being added to travel quarantine list(s). Way to go, fellow citizens!
  3. Not 1200 people, a subset of covid patients totaling 1200 who received echocardiograms. One could ASSuME they got the scans because they exhibited heart trouble-looking symptoms during their covid treatment/ recovery.
  4. Where did you see that the author of the meme was liberal or left leaning? Appears to me that he's just someone with concern about COVID-19 and its effects.
  5. ^^^ Oh look, a sane person! From what I've seen, people get a lot more sane once their bubble is personally impacted by it.
  6. What does MSM have to do with CDC recommendations?
  7. Wife works at Children's, and assists other hospitals with their pediatric care, so she has wide interactions across hospital systems. Wife has a nurse friend/coworker at OSU who had an unpleasant but only "flu-like" bout with Covid and rode it out without hospital care. She was still testing positive 30+ days later and was having to remain quarantined. Not super uncommon apparently. Also, any children's employees are not allowed to fly PERIOD without quarantining for 2 weeks upon their return without pay. There is a similar list of constantly updated hotspots where travel even by car is prohibited, and breaching it results in a mandatory unpaid quarantine period. Everything's fine though, Libs must be running the hospitals.
  8. Seems asia learned their lesson on masks a while ago on their own. They lived through this already and their experiences proved that they were the most impactful of containment measures. It would not surprise me if we find that states with some form of mask orders ultimately do better than those without. Pure speculation but we'll see. That said, considering how quickly it spread globally, it won't take long for the "out of control" states to poison the water nationally.
  9. Tractor, you do IT work as I recall. Why should anyone trust that you know what you're talking about when they hire you for some IT shit they themselves don't have a professional background in? When you or a family member go to the doctor, (a real, licensed, certified, credentialed, medical professional) how do you know that they have a damn clue what they're talking about when they treat you and prescribe some medication for you to ingest? You have your own wheelhouse of expertise, brodeo, and so does the doctor. It's when your mechanic starts giving you IT advice, or when your politician's start providing "their own" medical advice, or when anyone in government starts making decisions that fly in the face of the "best" (not perfect, but best) scientific data available that you should become especially suspicious. Questioning the experts should not be the go-to here.
  10. Food for thought for those considering themselves and family to be in the "not at risk" crowd: https://www.healthline.com/health-news/lifelong-lung-damage-the-serious-covid-19-complication-that-can-hit-people-in-their-20s BBC has put similar info out, as has Fauci in recent days. Choose your source.
  11. Panduh, passionate protests on a larger scale than we've seen in a generation is not equal to a campaign event by the incumbent. Consider the motivation behind each. I have to assume you have, but your commentary makes me wonder about your conclusions.
  12. So, doubts then, you're saying you have some reasonable doubts about the data and numbers etc., and that's fine. Thing is though, data is almost always imperfect and open to some interpretation. You have to take actions based on the data you've got, and that's pretty easy to justify. I don't think many people would find it reasonable to justify inaction based on "some doubts", but I continue to hear this complaint. We don't have the complete data on "XYZ this or that". So what then, you do nothing until we have all the data? You can't let the perfect be the enemy of the good. If there are uncertainties, you hedge your bets on the side of caution, not the opposite.
  13. Trump rally go-ers mostly wearing masks or mostly not wearing masks? Also, what media are you enjoying that's not talking about the potential for protests to cause viral spread? I've heard many peeps.
  14. Shipping is a factor too. A few are free shipping (but higher prices often) and then some are offering flat rate shipping regardless of order size.
  15. I've bought from: GrabaGun SportsmansGuide Academy SGammo They're all going to be low on stock or pricey right now.
  16. Too good. Everybody should consider walking in other people's shoes a bit. Try empathy. Try thinking through the concerns and complaints of others, even if they may not directly affect you just yet. As we all eventually learn when we grow up, everybody eventually has their own concerns and issues that they want heard and considered. So you say you're concerned about the safety of you and your family without having cops around. Now consider having similar fears of interactions WITH cops. Maybe neither is a perfect solution, somewhere in the middle's the truth... The answer isn't do nothing, as should be obvious.
  17. Speaking of gyms and such, I can't think of a worse environment for Covid concerns. Wipe shit down as much as you want, still sweating all over each other, breathing heavily (potentially coughing), etc. etc.
  18. Disregard... can't post from mah phone apparently.
  19. Man my gooch hurts just thinking about that.
  20. Not my fave either but an interesting cool sound anyway. For those especially struggling with it, I do imagine it would sound absolutely awful through a cellphone/tablet/computer speakers.
  21. Nice Pickup! I have a set of Black Housing "night runner" 06 headlights id sell cheap. Very very slight peel on the top of the lenses but overall in great shape if you'd like them. Had them on my 07 for about a year and a half. I also have the factory cd player head unit if you'd like it. Also - any takeoff wheels/tires from 2010+ 2500s/3500 trucks bolt right up, my truck had the 17" steelies and I bought takeoff Laramie 18s with tires when they needed replaced. Factory foglights also swap into your ST bumper, wiring harness is there already probably. Requires dealer flash to make the headlight switch control them as factory. Congrats on the buy!
  22. 4x4 anything under $5k that's not a rusty pile is going to be tough in Ohio. Fleet maintained trucks with some use might be a good option given you're ok with higher mileage. All that said, this doesn't look bad: https://columbus.craigslist.org/ctd/d/pataskala-1999-chevy-silverado-ls-4x4/7127270540.html 99 Chebby, 4x4, 4.3L V6. Could tow your pontoon without issue and have decent mileage. Looks really clean, like somebody's grandpa kept it in their garage all its life. That said... it could still be a bit rusty underneath, might need brake lines down the road, etc. etc. Worth a look maybe. Good luck! Edit - you'll see a lot of rangers under $5k, but I wouldn't go that route if you're planning to tow anything much, and they all rust pretty quickly in Ohio. Same with the explorer sport-trac stuff. The "good" engine in the explorers is the 4.6 V8, but they're just not a great platform for real truck work. I had a 2011 ranger that I liked a lot, but it was very light duty and pretty limited in terms of capability. Would not have wanted even a small trailer behind it. Stay away from 5.4L Triton Fords! Bout all I've got.
  23. Are there "doctors" actively suggesting the use of this drug the way Don is (supposedly) dosing himself with it to avoid contraction? I mean outside of the Trump doc himself (again supposedly).... I'm genuinely curious, as I've seen nothing credible to support that myself.
  24. The Ohio National Guard (ONG). Their operational funding is split between federal and state. If I recall the percentage split varies depending on type of spending. Maintenance is different than new equipment purchases, etc.
