Does anyone really give tiniest flip about what any member of the obsolete British does in this day and age?

Avoided the really horrific news this week.
Lets just laugh with Trump/at Carney; then say a proper goodby to Dolly,
wave 'good reddens' to Harry & Megan to finally call it a week.

Using up the last bit of tread before buying new or, perhaps, making homemade racing slicks! or even, "Stress testing" the mechanicals!!!

(goto admit, those are GREAT Answers . . .)

Convertible or
hardtop?

Looking at it you would think it just came off of the showroom....

My Jag is old school - I still run the bias ply....

Okay. I get "the car in the pie" one now. The key word to make the mental association was "childish", as I remember an older teen "doing doughnuts" or "cutting cookies" in the empty, grassy local stadium parking lot. Being of engineering mindset, i asked myself "What is the purpose of this?"

Not sure what this is. But, it cracked me up...

The "corn dog" reminds me "Three Dog Night" is playing at a venue in Kansas soon. One of the original players too!

Everyone is an expert on vaccines and on autism. I dedicated a couple decades to reading everything I could get my hands on regarding this. Almost everyone is wrong. Imagine what that feels like. I was even IN A STUDY, firsthand, and watched the PhDs at this university cook the books and put out a false narrative when the data clearly showed a link between thimerisol and autism. It has been a crazy ride, my friends.

I have no hope that our society will learn anything on this. Opinions and politics are dug in like a tick. Did you know that almost nobody needs a tetanus shot since the automobile was invented? If you don’t know why, you’re in a huge club. Did you know that very few who get polio ever show any symptoms? That’s something worth studying, IMO. Did you ever wonder why areas with open sewers struggle with polio while countries with backflow prevention and chlorinated pools don’t? Here’s my personal favorite…Did you notice that AFL (the modern polio-like, really scary paralysis) almost exclusively affects 5 and 6 year olds at the beginning of kindergarten and 1st grade. Of course you don’t. The news is silent on that one.

Best wishes…

No. If I run you over because I wasn't looking as a I backed up, yet I am liable.

"...but anyone who infects another is committing a violation of that person's rights."

"...but anyone who infects another intentionally is committing a violation of that person's rights." There, fixed it.

Tire tech is a lot better these days, 200 mile per hour plus grippy tires are found on the Mustang GTD and other hyper cars.
I ran Michelins on the z with koni shocks and 1 inch stabilizer bars.
The mini needs that with much bigger brake rotors inside the 17 inch wheels.

"Getting light" is the best way to describe the Jag - did not modify it at all but always thought that with that straight 6 4.2L going up the front it would have stayed on the road. And it really held well to the road - until about 120 or so... And then the grip just seemed to go away.
Handling at that point got .... interesting. But up to that point you felt you had total control.

My Z car was the same way, front end got light at 130, had to put on an air foil.
The mini has an airdam style lower front end with an extension under that. At speed it sucks the front end down.

Measles deaths are rising because the gross population consists of a passel of weaker wimps. The medical, food, media and education industries have been chipping away at individual health for decades and the result consists of a population of individuals with weak immune systems, weak cardio ... soft, limp, obese, frightened wastrels.

Gee, I had polio, smallpox and measles vaccines, and never got those diseases. Got chicken pox and mumps as a kids. Whatever.
Got the COVID vaccine and still got COVID, because it isn’t a real vaccine, and who cares about COVID? It is a silly flu.


So what is the point? Smallpox, measles and polio are almost gone. That is good. Anecdotes are stupid. Attempting to spread ignorance is bad, but common. More common among the left, but here we’re are spewing nonsense from TX.

Good for you. So what?

I am not advocating a law. People may choose for themselves, but anyone who infects another is committing a violation of that person's rights. it's like hitting them on the head.

That you may choose does not mean it is wise or good to choose irrationally. You may choose to be a heavy gambler, but reason would not advise that.

The irrational anti-vaccine movement is now starting to cause serious harm.

This is Galt's Gulch, inspired by Ayn Rand's work. Rand advocated rationality.

How about letting people decide for themselves instead of falling for main stream media induced panic?

I recieved the polio vaccine and then got polio anyway. Had all the childhood diseases except mumps. No one in my family had the mumps even though we were all exposed to them at some point, a natural immunity I suppose. Vaccines were supposed to be weakened viruses that your body would then be able to defeat and build immunities against them. Now they are full of numerous adjuncts that shouldn't be injected into healty bodies. I would never take another. An experimental mRNA injection, never considered it and none of my friends or family took it. Although it was touted to completely prevent COVID, which it did not, it was then sold as well, you won't get it as bad if you have the shot. The people who developed want to get rid of 90% of the population, that would be enough to deter me. I don't need to understand it fully to know I don't trust the people who made it.

Out of sight~~out of mind!
During all those years that I was a state corrections officer (what prison guards are told to call themselves) at a combined maximum and a medium security Alabama prison, it never occurred to me why unpeeled bananas were never served.

PI, bananas dating and dog tech support. great!

It's okay...in another 50 years (assuming the earth is not covered in water), there won't be anyone smart enough to create new vaccines.

Then, natural selection will once again begin determining the future of mankind.

Only ever had Mumps in that group but we were always together some had natural immunity and it was best that seven got it over with together!
