I honestly think this is a prank and there's no fucking way they made that monstrosity.

Yeah, it's everything all in one, problems solved. Then nothing to bitch about. Never happen. Looks like a clown car to me. Like someone tried to do car satire. It has all of the ugly of the Mercedes box thing but none of the character. Go back to the SC.

Interesting, what would you call it? It's been a documented thing for a few thousand years starting in Greece and then Europe. In the 18th century, spa/medical towns were popular, either because all the practitioners could gather and share, or because they thought places had magical healing. Vegas could become our modern day spa town. Tucson kind of is. They have a lot of rehab and spa tourism.

WTF

Having driven one a few hundred miles, you couldn't give me one free. But it's mostly Toyota shittiness complaints, and you seem to like Toyotas. There's nothing enjoyable about driving, the electronics are garbage, and it's certainly mechanically solid.

That's exactly it, been a thing for a long time. Wealthy Canadians come here to get things done that their "free" medical care won't do, or will take forever. Americans go to Mexico, India, and other places for expensive procedures. Really wealthy Americans fly to India to buy stolen kidneys, but just an average person can go there to get a $50k procedure done for $20k including the travel cost, and get a vacation. Vegas can provide services for Canadians and Europeans to get things done here. Even the Saudis will ship people here for work that isn't done right there. When I lived in Tucson I went there for rx drugs and dental work.

Let's not assume the vast array of symptoms are related, could just be a Ford being a Ford. Your speed thing matches what happened to me with East Texas red fuel (and I don't mean the tax, it's got red clay in it). Changing the filter in the dark in a 50 MPH wind at midnight was fun, but got me moving again. I always carry a spare, do you?

Ads becoming less effective is fantastic news. If WW ads work before GLP-1s, then they should stop working after...LOL.

It's even beneficial to your bank account, and global economy (unless you're a purveyor of junk, bad choices, and poison). https://wildfirelabs.substack.com/p/the-100-trillion-disruption-the-unforeseen For decades, the advertising model was simple: Trigger an emotional response, create an impulse, convert it into a purchase. This foundation supports the $400 billion global advertising industry. What happens when those emotional triggers stop working? Early consumer data on GLP-1s shows: - 65% reduction in response to food advertising - 40% lower click-through rates on impulse products - 85% decrease in late-night online shopping Madison Avenue is quietly panicking. One major agency (which asked not to be named) estimates that 50% of their current advertising strategies will be obsolete by 2027. They are right to worry. Vegas has suddenly been dying off with record reduction in attendance, wonder if this is related? Look at Las Vegas. Five major casinos are redesigning their floor plans, shrinking restaurant and bar space by 35% and expanding wellness spas and medical tourism facilities. Vegas, the city built on impulse spending, is investing in the post-impulse economy. What hidden improvements will we see when people don't waste on processed junk, meat, and the like? What boosts will go to their family wealth and other more worthy uses?

It is technically correct, the best kind of correct. I understood it, just found it ridiculous that they published it that way.

Someone has scanned a whole fairing piece, gonna need a nice-size printer though. https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/various/zero-moto-sr-s-side-fairing-oem-high-poly-scan

Sounds like you have something similar to where I put my sharpening grinder. Two sheets of ply on top of a sheet of light-weight shelf material with melamine. We used to use it as a mini-bench. Old well-made industrial cabinets were CHEAP during the 2008 recession.

Bounce and noise--if you hammer things, it gives and bounces and is loud. Cold in winter. I don't want to rest my arms on it or touch it. Dark, so it's hard to see parts. Can't write on it to make notes as you go. Things stick to it, like adhesives. Once you weld on a surface it's never quite perfect again. (Well, once *I* weld on a surface, with the normal amateur fuckups.) Conductive, so you can't use it for electrical projects, tests, and such.

I gave this a lot of thought since you posted, and came up with Oscar's idea too. The metal table is not nice for anything at all other than welding. So I'd make up a melamine table that is good and solid, maybe just the scrap countertop idea posted earlier. My MDF requirement is optimal, but the lighter substrates are not terrible. Then have a square metal piece on a frame that you can set on top of it. It needs to be framed to stay flat, and to keep from melting the other table. Go to a metal seller, ask for whatever size of 1/4 plate and some square tube, done. Shit, get fancy and put it on hinges, so it hangs off the back of the table and swings up for usage... It does.

No, I'm aware, and even have some. Your study link is broken. Not super important since that site is a pay-to-publish sham, so it may be low value anyway. Sources matter. Predatory publishing exploits the pay-to-publish model of open-access journals. Legit open-access journals charge authors fees (APCs) to make research free to read, ensuring quality through peer review. Predatory publishers skip the rigor, charging fees for quick, sham publications with little or no review. They profit off researchers’ pressure to publish, offering low credibility in return.

Any metal supply shop. Heavy as in...1/4" or so? My welding table top is a simple 1/4" sheet. But beware, it's really not as nice to work on as you might think. I'd much rather use the wood for nearly anything other than welding. My welding table is mostly unused, though it's huge and solid. It has a built in vise on one end and metal bandsaw on the other. Love it for metal work. Tim mentioned a transmission, and for that, what I've seen at Aamco is a basin-table that has a drain with parts catcher, and built in strainer along the other side. There are so many things if you want to do something specific. What do you want to do on it?

See if it moans or screams when you drill it.

The top is, the underside seems to be some shitty particle board, which may be ok for you, dunno. Wouldn't work for my needs. Also, rarely available in straight white. Which is racist and gender intolerant.

Absolute fucking whack idiot. My original assertion that numbers do lie is based on the fact that his studies lack control groups, randomization, independent verification, or pretty much anything that makes a proper study valid. If he's right, it's purely by coincidence since his methods have no connection to rational medical research. He sells his services as a speaker, consultant, and purveyor of "special" versions of these common chemicals that you can buy on Amazon. He thinks vaccines cause autism and that chlorine dioxide cures autism. Yeah, THAT retarded. Or wait, no, he's being suppressed by big pharma and all their drug money from autism trea.....oh wait, there aren't any.

Yes. At some point if you truly dropped something hard and pointy on it, I assume it would dent, but it's fucking tough. I've tested: Industrial cyanoacrylate with accelerator Acetone Methyl ethyl ketone Gas Alcohols up to 99% PVA glue (common wood glue) Various random sprays in the shop I removed the glues with chisels and it was hard (not impossible) to make slight marks in it. This was before ceramic, I suspect the ceramic makes it super easy to remove but haven't tested yet. It's "horizontal grade" melamine (countertops). For the last 15 years or whatever I've been using vertical grade (walls), the most common, and had no idea. This is Wilson Art brand, Formica is the one you remember from the 70s in that glorious avocado and gold kitchen, and there's another common brand. You can use any contact cement, for large spaces you can use a can and trowel, but small spaces like this are easy with spray. You spray both sides, and let them dry. They become instantly bonding, which is how we fucked up the first one, accidental false move, fucked. You put dowels on the bottom surface, around 12-18 inches apart, then put the melamine on those. Line it all up. Remove the dowel at one end and slowly lay that end down keeping it aligned. Now, you start with the melamine cut oversized, by as much as you'd like for margin of error. Once it's laid down, you use a trim router with a bearing bit to clean the edges. It comes out perfect since the bearing bit is perfectly aligned. Do you own routers? Bits? You could get a "good enough" edge with a jigsaw maybe. I am 100% in love with the surface, the visibility, everything. I'm pissed that I spent this much of my life not having it. One of my friends loved it so much we just did a small rolling bench for his shop on Saturday with the same stuff. His underlayment is high grade ply, not MDF; he doesn't need the massive/non-resonant surface like I do. The HD link I posted is what I got. Order that, choose a color, but white is right. It makes parts visible, and preserves shop lighting/contrast. The matte surface is a perfect blend of slick and not so slippery that things want to shoot off. Like the day my room mate brought a chick home in a satin dress and threw her across his satin sheets. Glue: https://www.homedepot.com/p/3M-12-6-oz-Max-Strength-Contact-Adhesive-90-NAT/332102344 If that's illegal in WA, there's a low-VOC version that I have not tried. Oh, if you do this indoors, you really must wear an organic vapor mask. If you don't have one, I really like this, in the long run it's so cheap, and it's very comfortable: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B007JZ1N00?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_2&th=1

Final step, it is truly complete...ceramic coating. This material is amazing, and I hate that I spent 20 years with the inferior version from not knowing the difference. Nothing harms it. I needed to cut a couple of new outdoor roller blinds, and it was so easy being able to run a knife right against the table. I held my breath, but it didn't do anything to the table. No mark, nothing you can feel. A brand new carbide-edged utility blade (which BTW I highly recommend over plain steel). So much easier than trying to juggle a backer. If you have a workbench, I recommend that you do this.

Huh, this sounds like a general interesting idea. I bet they have trash lockers like Home Depot however. Depot will often let you take a truck load of cutoff lumber though.

LOL, so far it's a documented placebo, but that could be bullshit too.

I disagree, but hear me out, you might agree with this. Educated people were re-educated by the cult and MSM into using talking points instead of logic and reasoning. Some people willingly discarded decades of watching doctor shows and surgeons being clean/masked, obviously, and not the patient, and threw that out overnight when told to. Predictably the non-profit I'm involved with on long COVID simply says that the evidence is tenuous, and might be worth looking into. However, they said this, which I haven't further researched on my own. Again, these people are suffering themselves AND have no profit motive. Oxidative damage is another insidious "hidden" danger that is similar to long COVID in many ways. Lack of Safe Oral Threshold No human clinical trials establish a safe oral dose for therapeutic chlorine dioxide use. The Journal of Hospital Infection (2021) and similar studies confirm its efficacy as a surface disinfectant (e.g., 80 ppm), but this does not translate to internal safety. Toxicological data suggest that even doses below acute toxicity levels (e.g., 10-20 mg/kg in rats) cause oxidative damage over time, per Toxicological Sciences (1984). I wish I didn't have to keep saying this, but none of the above expresses an opinion for/against the OP since I'm not educated enough to have one. This is about taking apart evidence, which is what peer reviews do, and about asking actual experts for advice.

It was, even among five year olds, until the freedumb virus took some peoples' brains.
