Feel free to stop me if you guys think this might turn political. Just frustrated at how many people are basically forcing somebody to do something when they do not have to.

#walking the line!

it's got a lot to do with population control.. and the managing companies forethought into damage control, as well as the political ramifications.

i think it's pretty apparent so far that this coming american political season is going to be extremely heated that it might be better described as a war than an election.

so if ______ site allows such things, they as for-profit companies are realizing that they can unintentionally become the scapegoat for who allowed the spread of furthering the protests. by stopping talk of it, they're protecting their investment, as well as removing the potential of scapegoating themselves.

i don't see it as them picking 'the other side', just doing their best to stay out of it. the last few years have been very hellish in that regard, what with political candidates looking for any and every bad thing they can find against their opposing party, and how "the internet never forgets"..

not all that different than the thing that's popping up in the news all of a sudden of jimmy fallons blackface SNL skit that he did in the early 2000's. i vaguely remember that he got some backlash from it back then, and now, "because the internet never forgets", he's got to re-apologize for something that the world almost forgot, and pre-internet, would have just let die.

This shit has nothing to do with that guy that died, this is just rioting and anarchy.

I feel sorry for the innocent people that are effected due to these idiots.

The rest of the world is dealing with lockdown, the rest of the world is not burning down their cities.

you know, from what you've said before about what's on your tv, i'm starting to get the distinct impression that the australian media loves to portray all of america in the worst light possible.

the majority of us don't approve of any of what's going on.

No, there are only a few on the market that did this. This is a Nameless header which is discontinued. I believe P&L did one like this where the upper part was removable and you could interchange it with a turbo manifold. I think JDL did one that came up a little ways too but not as pronounced.

Since I don't pay attention to either platform, I have to ask, is this really a thing? I guess that's the price you pay for having to stay "relevant".

Well, OK, why didn't you say so.

In that case, take 3 "Canadian" aspirin, carry a bottle of gin out your hot tub, slip in the hot tub, drink the gin until the number of trees in your back yard double, get out, dry off (optional), go to bed.

No more pain -

Every time I roll over in the night onto my bad shoulder, it wakes me up. Sucks.

What is a "Canadian" asprin?

Ya, I hear (feel) that. Sometimes my right hip talks to me that way. I just roll back over and think about that large breasted secretary I had back in the day.

Oh, yes, "Canadian" aspirin. Back in the day, one could drive up to Canada and buy aspirin plus codeine, right off the shelf. Then they made it such that one had to ask the pharmacist to reach behind the counter to sell it to you.

It was great for headaches, sore muscles, a cough or occasional pain. Unfortunately, too many people were having too much "occasional" pain, so they made it by doctor's prescription only.

Now (at least in these parts) you can only get codeine, after you have had major surgery and then they only give you three pills -

I don't think it is just Australia, I like to follow world news as it effects my work, pretty much every country has the riots on the front page, either next to the latest Covid updates, or by itself.

Being an outsider makes it easy to look in.

Disclaimer: Australia has it's own issues with racist cowards and weak politicians, but currently America is making Australia look like Shangri-la.

Finally updating my ECU to OFTv4.

Step one, search for the OFT cable for an hour Done!

Step two, connect my backup keyboard to my pc because I was using the OFT cable for my main keyboard, having lost the keyboard cable in the move. Done!

Step three, update the firmware... In progress...


When did this get so complicated!?!?!

Ahh, the old Tylenol codine. Kaiser used to give me those like candy when I would bust myself up as a kid in sports.
