Completely agree that no one should need "papers" to go out and live their lives and mandating the vaccine is wrong given what we know today. I also completely agree that the younger and healthier you are the less likely you are to die from COVID but the reason for getting vaccine is no longer about you it's about what are you willing to do for your fellow human being. That choice should be

Hey Triple Alpha Process- this reply is not intended to be an argument or refutation, just a clarification. 1170 deaths from people who took the vaccine but not necessarily a causal relationship proven. Fair enough. The number "caused" by the vaccine could be in a range of 0-1170. Not sure if this is US only or worldwide.
However, when the 2.8 million deaths to

These are the first-ever mRNA vaccines ever brought to market for human patients. We don't have any long-term data about their safety and/or side effects. Whether technically experimental or not... this is still a giant experiment for society.

One thing I've never heard a good answer to- If somebody gets the vaccine, and believes what has been published about it's effectiveness, then what does it matter to them whether somebody else chooses to get it or not?

Interesting concept but people will always have the choice to get the vaccine or not. I think many of the public schools require certain vaccinations (MMR) but not sure how strictly its enforced.
I recall several people saying if you were scared or didn't want to get COVID you could just stay home and not go anywhere. That way everything could open up.

The AIDS epidemic was pretty minor compared to this pandemic in terms oontrol and ability to identify high risk individuals. The modes of transmission of HIV were isolated early on to specific members of society and the means to control it were very clear.

I think it depends on how long you plan on owning it. If you rebuild or get a used one it'll probably last another 250k. New ones are crazy expensive so you'd like be money ahead if you rebuild and are ok with little things going here and there as opposed to spending $70k+ for new ones.

The folks at Rockwell have their eyes on a Super National Pull. Each year they make big steps to get there. I wouldn't doubt they will be there in 2-3 more years.

The formula for area is
Diameter x Diameter x 3.1416 / 4
5 x 0.013 holes equals 0.00066 in2
4 x 0.015 holes equals 0.00071 in2
So the 4 hole have slightly more flow area
I'm sure I'm just missing something here but the area of a circle is: 3.14 x (radius x radius). Can you help me understand where diameter comes in and why you divided by 4?

Harts or JEB always seem to be in the mix. Each year one seems to make just a little more power. Call Haisley Machine and see what they are running. They put several on the dyno each year to find the best, and then buy from them.

Where do those numbers come from? Max contribution is ~$8500 a year. 45 years of contribution would be $380k. Say you draw $3k per month for 25 years, that is $900k.
Not arguing that we should all have the right to manage our own money and retirement. I would opt out if I could. Just curious about the numbers.
