« on: October 09, 2020, 12:15:55 PM »Well, I live in what used to be Pennsyltucky, although the rich man's version of it, horse farms, cement ponds, movie stars. And I did live in Kentucky for three and a half years, although in liberal Lexington practically on the UK campus. So I come by by redneckness honestly.I have a friend who grew up in a trailer in southern Ohio. Talks about how redneck it was down there. Played for Woody Hayes, flew KC-135s in Vietnam and SAC, flew 727, 737, 757, and 767 for United. The redneck did well.

One is a client who never went to college but is essentially a self-taught engineer. The things he manufactures and how he thinks through problems is something to see.
Another is an attorney who can recall pertinent case law like a treatise, and can synthesize a case like no other.
There are many more like that, but what they ALL have in common is they don’t think they have that high of an intellect, so it would never occur to them to say that they do. They all also treat the local diner waitress with ultimate respect. Those are the kind of people that I like to hang with.

« on: October 09, 2020, 11:25:49 AM »She’s on the move to establish a mental fitness test for President Trump. But wait! She says it’s not about Trump! She wants it in place “for the country.” Being she’s such a patriotic, America lovin’ person and all, I guess.Bingo. It has nothing to do with Trump. Biden’s cabinet and Kamala Harris can collude to put Harris into the Oval.
Translation: “I want the power to boot out Dementia Joe if he’s elected, and install Harris.”
Dear God, these people are beyond belief.

« on: October 09, 2020, 11:22:11 AM »Cheap fossil fuel makes the electricity that "fills it up"? I thought California had a plan to mandate EVs and ban gasoline vehicles by some year, 2030 IIRC?It is so funny that some people don’t get that.
It’s almost like the movie Baby Boom where the actress moves from Manhattan to Vermont, unprepared for the harshness of rural living. Her well runs dry, so she asks the plumber “Can’t you just fill it from the hose?”

Spin Zone / Zoom calls, Masks, and Scott Adams
« on: October 09, 2020, 11:09:50 AM »I am guilty of it on occasion, but try not to as I totally agree with you. Plus we're all pilots, aircraft owners and/or GA enthusiasts here so have much more in common than most others.I have little patience for people who regularly and publicly consider themselves to be intellectually superior to me or anyone else.
So for me it’s not about honest political or other differences, it’s about attitude.

When in reality he is the dirt worshiper and Pagan. Total projection on his part.He’s just wrong. I for one don’t think you are uneducated.

Spin Zone / Re: Cases vs Deaths
« on: October 07, 2020, 01:32:58 PM »
I did a little analysis comparing the state of Wisconsin to Ireland. We both have a drinking culture, we both have a couple large cities (Milwaukee 595,000, Dublin 553,000), and we both have a large rural population.
Tell me what you see:
Population:
Wisconsin: 5,850,000
Ireland: 4,950,000
Covid cases:
Wisconsin: 141,780 (2.4% of population)
Ireland: 38,549 (0.8% of population)
Covid deaths:
Wisconsin: 1,393
-percent of pop: 0.02%
-percent of cases: 0.98%
Ireland: 1,810
-percent of pop: 0.03%
-percent of cases: 4.7%
So what does this tell you? If the number of deaths as a percentage of population is virtually identical, but the number of cases is WILDLY different, either Wisconsinites are wildly irresponsible but get better healthcare, OR the number of cases are largely bullshit.
I’m going with the later.
Note that the number of cases is the metric being used for last month’s mask order and yesterday’s shutdown order (which ends on 11/6).

« on: October 07, 2020, 07:14:34 AM »Unfortunately we may never know the true numbers because leftist and politicians have so polluted the data in order to manipulate it.
We have been scammed on an order never witnessed before. And, sadly, the result was and is a huge part of the population willing to succumb to the scam.
Pandora's Box has been opened, and we are going to feel the effects for generations to come.
