  1. What a Tool
  2. I was exposed to all sorts of chemicals during my 30 years in the aerospace business. Fucking MEK, Naphtha, Trichloroethylene, Bromide, Perchloroethylene, and multiple epoxies, coolants and sealants. And of course this was back when MSDS sheets and employee health issues where not a thing. You dont need no stinking gloves !!! Who knows what organ damage this shit has done. But then again when we were kids we broke thermometers and played with the mercury !!! But with drinking water the deeper you drill your well the more natural filtering takes place. If your on municipal water, they give annual reports on contaminates. Our local towns water systems where high in Trichloroethylene, Bromide and Perch. All caused by 3 local factories dumping shit for 50 years unchecked. Those factories were part of a class action suit (which I initiated) and now our town has a multi million dollar filter system. This all happened back in 2004. But the filter systems of today do a great job on these cancer causing contaminates.
  3. Thanks Bob. The report just shows its everywhere people. And the link posted is a report on how natural immunity, especially break thru cases (like mine was) have shown greater immunity factor afterwards. No one knows for sure, even the powers at be are grasping at straws. Live your life !!! Dont let the germaphobes in power control it. Its the new common cold and its everywhere !!!
  4. Seems Orange County Florida's wastewater is full of it. I bet if any municipal water systems were tested it would show up there too. Its the new flu people, get over the mask mandates !!! Let us all live free !!! And die hard !!!! Also it seems that researchers are finding that those who get breakthrough infections are coming out with superman immunity !!! Up to 1000 times the immunity of a round of vaccines. Link to article https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2787447
  5. Fuck, I would need liquid drain-o to clean out my arteries !!! Im at the age where I eat what I eat. You only live once !!! Now fix me up some frog legs and snapping turtle !!!!
  6. Want some potato to go along with all that cheese and sour cream ? Or how about a reamer to ream out all that artery blockage !!! Is that ground pepper ?
  7. My GPU in my studio pc is crazy old. It renders fine, just cant max out the dpi of the tv. Time to look.
  8. What are you running ? Autodesk Maya ? Always wanted to mess with it. Im familiar with AutoCAD, from my CNC days. I have a 3d Printer which I put together, but have not used yet. Still need to install the Z axis touch probe. Life keeps me busy. But animation has always fascinated me. On the monitors, I use to use 2 monitors in my music studio, but switched to a 40" 4K TV. I just run several large scale windows with it. I do need to get a better video card for it though. My current is a few years old and will not max out the TV's max resolution. Issue is I need a passive cooled GPU, due to fan noise. And I have not checked lately to see what's available.
  9. Been building my own since the 286 days. Back when hard drives where 4 times the size now. And 5 1/4 floppies where the norm. I buy most of my gear now a days from Microcenter. I have two stores close by. Last Christmas my daughters husband wanted a gaming PC for Christmas. Well I didnt have time to put one together so we bought him a prebuilt gaming rig from Microcenter. Their Power Spec brand. I have to say its a nicely built system that has had zero issues a year later. All name brand components. And very little bloatware installed. If I remember just a trial of Norton's Antivirus. You might check them out. If you live close to one of their stores you can always go there too. Huge ass stores !!!

  10. I wrote a song about mowing, years ago !!!!
  11. More detail on these remixes. When these bands record, they have many takes of different instruments that do not make the final mix. Or they are pushed back in the mix to the point you barely hear them. Due to limitations, not every sound can make the final mix. Think of making a pie. You can only put so much ingredients into the pan. Too much and it becomes an unrecognizable mess. What they do in these remixes is keep the original base ingredients, but remove some of the extra ones and replace with different ones. And those new instruments where recorded during the original sessions. I like it. Makes for a new listening experience. I recommend any Beatles fans to listen to the originals and then the new Giles Martin ones. If your a vinyl fan (and have a descent turntable), those new pressings sound great. Same with the new Zeppelin pressing Jim Page did. Nice sounding pressings.
  12. You have to remember. All of the Beatles albums have been remixed and re-released throughout the years. The latest Gyles Martin mixes are some of my favorites. You will hear different instruments brought forward in the mixes. Also remember with the Tele... Jim Page used one almost exclusively on the first two albums. And a small Fender Champ amp.
  13. Copper out the ass !!!
  14. They get one warning shot in my area !!
  15. I stated before. In late Jan early Feb of 2020 I was sicker than a dog for 5 weeks !! At that point covid was not even a consideration. They tested for influenza A and B and tests were negative. They said Bronchitis or Sinusitis. They treated it with an antibiotic and steroid and I got better (after 5 weeks) !! But it was probably covid. Fast forward to the past three weeks. I started feeling puny and chocked it up to allergies. Well I started feeling worse and worse and finally last Thursday went to Dr. Guess what !!! Covid !!! I have been vaccinated, and my symptoms are exactly the same as what I had in Jan of 2020. So my Dr. concurs this is probably my second bought of it. My wife is unaffected by it. Im feeling better, but still very weak. Congestion is a hell of a lot better, but Im going on my 3rd week. I had the Moderna vaccine. Did the vaccine help me ? Who knows, symptoms same both times. By the time I fully recover it will be about the same duration. Crazy !!
  16. Pete twists everything to fit his and the Dem narrative. He is part of that "elitist political" mentality. Sorry Pete. I call a spade a spade.
  17. I had both of my shots. Doubt I get any booster. My brother in law just got the booster and is sick now. It happens. Now my wife refuses to get it. And that's her choice. Some of our adult children have and some not. One of our daughters had covid and is not getting any due to having it. A friend of mine received both shots a few months ago and now has covid. My feeling is the current admins "mandate" is not legal. Thus all the lawsuits cropping up. If we let any admin force us to take vaccines, its opening Pandora's box. Which could down the road lead to who knows what. We all know the old saying.... Give them an inch and they take a mile.......
  18. Peoples Choice !!! Get over your woke asses !!!
  19. Ive been driving that model since 1984 !!!!
  20. In the 40 plus years of driving, I have only bought two new vehicles. I buy 2 or 3 years old. Let the original owner take the depreciation hit. Crazy your new truck cost what my house cost when we built it, back in the 80's !!!
  21. I have built well over 100 pc's since the days of the 286 architecture. Out of those I would say 20 have been Intel based and all other AMD based. And most of the Intel ones were built back in the late 80's and 90's. I have built a couple Intel based DAW rigs in the past few years and hated the way the Intel CPU's heat sink and fan mounted. Very flimsy. But I like AMD for the bang for the buck aspect, quality of hardware and stability. Building a PC is not what it use to be when I started. My first build required soldering, so that tells you how long ago that was. You guys remember setting IRQ's, DMA's, and other jumpers to get everything working together ???!!!! Now its mostly plug and play. So simple !!!
  22. Woke ass individuals
  23. As Dave Chapelle said "Gender is a Fact" at birth.
