The left cheated to win 2020, is that constitutional? I think they owe him a do over with a 100 point Electoral College handicap. I say just do it, and let them take it to court after the election

In Philly places like 8th & Butler, K&A , pretty much all of Kensington cops roll right past obvious drug sales, but yet they have a truck squad like the KGB goons. I always remember that one in the truck squad van #151 was a real azzwhole. Then he got caught molesting teenage boys. There was another one that loved classic Camaros. He used to take this chop shop guy out and show him the cars he wanted. The cop got the cars and that chop shop got left alone. He got shot by another cop during an undercover drug operation. (He was skimming off the bag money before it got kicked up the chain) They have a really nice monument to him on the wall of the fallen down at the roundhouse We've got a government that is more interested in overweight dump trucks or a mistake on some small businesses paperwork than on fighting real crime

Yeah with 55.000, 6 speed, ac, something close to that. I think a r600 285, 5 speed, 38,000 black bumper truck was in the low 40's

I go here. They make their own in 100 year old smokehouses their grandfather built when he came from Poland. They took me in the back and showed them to me. Very busy place at times especially Christmas and Easter. Line goes all the way down the block and around the corner. http://www.kielbasyboys.com/ Stan Swiacki has a real good place too. https://www.facebook.com/swiackimeats/?locale=es_ES -
Controlling fan speed to only move enough air as needed is for sure going to save energy. Even closing the shutters is going to lessen the energy consumed by the fan. Put your hand over your vacuum cleaner hose and you will hear the motor speed up because you have taken the load off of it. Same goes with centrifugal pumps. Put an ammeter on one and shut off the valve on the discharge. The amperage draw will go down because now the pump is no longer doing "work"

Electricity is not some magical energy amplifier, all the conversions are a net loss of energy. It's called "entropy" entropy A thermodynamic quantity representing the unavailability of a system's thermal energy for conversion into mechanical work, often interpreted as the degree of disorder or randomness in the system. There is no escaping it. Whatever horsepower is required to run the fan to cool that engine, is going to be drawn from the crankshaft. Every step you add is a net energy loss. Belts are losses, alternators are losses, the wire is a loss, the electric motor is a loss. Introducing more steps into the energy flow makes things less efficient. Every one of those steps turns some of the energy to heat, and then it gets lost into the environment without doing work like turning the fan blades and moving air. "The first law of thermodynamics states that energy is conserved and cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred or transformed from one form to another. The second law of thermodynamics states that in any natural process, the total entropy of an isolated system always increases. "

Back in the Mack Pack!

That was always my problem with those things. Seemed like they always leaked when it rained. Lots of times they cracked the roof too. Maybe they weren't installed correctly -

Towards the end of my marriage in the late 90's I was stressed out and eating a lot, not to mention drinking tequila like it was water I got up to 360 and I'm 6' 3". Somehow I was still working like crazy climbing stuff, up on top of loads, rebuilding truck engines, doing clutches. I used to eat kielbasa and eggs for breakfast and wash it down with swigs of tequila and then go to work. I was running a steel nose 1974 DM with a roll off on it, no air conditioning, rough as hell looking, moving containers full of scrap metal all over Philly. I used to hit the scale at the scrap yard way overweight on 3 axles I remember sometimes over 100,000. I really don't know how I got away with it, or for that matter even lived through it. After my divorce I stopped drinking and eating so much and lost about 100 pounds in about 2 years -

And all those third world turds with degrees got them from places like Axact. None of the HR C^nts check up on that kind of stuff. They are all too lazy or afraid they might offend some non-white

Don't give them the cushy office jobs. Most of them are not needed and actually counterproductive. I've had to work with a lot of them and although they have college degrees they are lucky if they can read on an 8th grade level. Absolutely no advanced math skills, no geometry, no trig, unable to solve word problems. And as far as technical knowledge goes, they are absolutely clueless. But we have offices and management positions packed full of them. All the resources spent educating them was a waste. They were never college material. You can't polish a turd. Cut off the cushy office jobs, and make them do real productive work. If they don't like it they can go live in mud huts eating worms and bugs

Yeah I wasn't as sick as the time I was drinking Everclear and orange juice and I woke up on the garage floor with my head in a cardboard box full of puke, but that time I was in my early 20's and I could bounce back better. BTW the reddish blonde was involved in that night, she was sleeping across the front seats of her CJ7 inside the garage. When she saw what I looked like she ran away. So yeah I've been there -

I haven't drank since my 40th birthday when the last thing I remember was talking to a chick with purple hair in a bar, and then waking up at my mother's house laying on the bathroom floor clutching a bottle of Nikolai Vodka that smelled like hand sanitizer, being sick as all hell, and thinking I'm too old for this crap. So I really don't remember what any of it tastes like. Well I remember the Nikolai Vodka tasted like lacquer thinner. Probably best I remember it that way -
And going from mechanical to electrical, and then back to mechanical from electrical is two extra times entropy is going to rear it's ugly head It's just adding more I2R and friction losses to the system; If you go down the line of thinking that you can make energy appear out of nowhere, or make energy disappear, you end up believing in things Like Stan Myers "it runs on water" or this rediculas thing of Mr Yoon's

Yeah, the reddish blonde one has been a problem since I met her when she was dancing in The Nutcracker during Christmas of 1976. The brunette was my buddy's sister, Pictures are 1985ish
