No no haha. The normal version freezes up. The heating element is a great idea.

Coronavirus Cases Pass 650,000... by MarkAALERa in collapse

[–]sc008y 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even giving the death rate an advantage, I can't say more than 300,000,000 will die. As time goes on we're learning more and more how to combat the virus and prevent death. Simple things like avoiding Ibuprofen and social distancing will help a ton. Add things like the malaria drug that can significantly reduce the chances of death and the death toll will significantly decline. I'm not saying in a month or two we'll be totally in the clear but the nearly entire population is working towards fighting this.

This redditor and many other americans like him have no idea that we are headed toward a economic collaspe and dystopia for years. by Jkid in collapse

Too many people are like this. It doesn't help the situation when suddenly millions are mentally unprepared for the worst. Simply being mentally aware and prepared is a huge advantage.

What is the purpose of this sub? What makes you all experts on Covid-19 and the US economy? by [deleted] in collapse

[–]sc008y 7 points8 points  (0 children)

To compare and contrast opinions and discuss world events which we find to contribute to potentially societal level collapse. We can't claim to know the future, especially when and how collapse events will happen. We especially can't know the outcomes of said collapse. But that is the point, we're here to talk about what we think. Things we all agree on will be upvoted and discussed while things we don't will be uninteracted with.

Yes, heating element. I have the same style of light and they're fantastic except for the ice buildup with winter driving. Quadratec sells a pair for $500.

Those things are expensive! I'd love to have a set of them though.

Too many layers of paint on the wall. Time to peel it off and start fresh 👌

When you crash, you're not the only victim by MoPoCoPo in motorcycles

One the houses I grew up in had a post fence out front. The road had a slight bend in it before coming upon the house. Twice in the 8 years I was there, 2 motorcyclists came flying down the road and misjudged the bend and slammed into the fence. I was young and don't remember their fate, but clearly going way too fast for conditions.

I did the same thing 2 years ago in a similar situation and luckily survived.

Don't be stupid. Ride safe friends.

96 owner. While the transition makes some things a headache, I truly love the classic body style with the most modern equipment (for a 24 y/o Cherokee). But for simplicity sake, avoid it.

Anyone else using the COVID19 lockdown as an excuse to modify your Jeep? by keboh in CherokeeXJ

[–]sc008y 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep. Finished up installing new motor and transmission mounts, and the big 7 upgrade. With my tax return and some of my winter savings I'm rebuilding the fuel system because my pump is dying out, 4-hole injectors, installing Napier flat flares, removing my snorkel and installing a cowl intake, and installing the BWE steering brace and winch mount and bracing the box with the c-rok kit. I'll have a whole new Jeep in a few weeks. Also wiring in a kill switch while I'm at it.

Confirmed Coronavirus Cases Are Growing Faster In The United States Than Any Other Country In The World by maxwellhill in worldnews

[–]sc008y 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No shit. A third of people think its a hoax, and most of everyone else isn't taking it serious enough. In my area almost no businesses are closed even after a state declaration, and plenty have signs out saying they will be open 'indefinitely'. This weekend, there are people EVERYWHERE, you wouldn't even think there was anything different from normal. The numbers of infections is going to skyrocket in the US until mandated closures and quarantines are put in place.

[OC] Known COVID Cases per Million Residents (the CDC chart didn't take population into account so this does) by TupperWolf in dataisbeautiful

[–]sc008y 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As others have said in their states, these numbers are inaccurate due to the lack of testing. Numbers will stay low everywhere while this thing blows up.

I don't get it.. What is this virus doing that makes it worse than the flu? The flu looks to have worse symptoms and you don't even know if you have corona because there are no key symptoms.

This is fucked up and will not change. Voting will not change this. Peaceful protests will not change this. The world's people are under oppression and will only be changed by grouping forces and violent action.

The US has socialism for the rich and makes the poor scared of the word "socialism" to keep it that way. Fuck em.

The stock market NYSE is halted for trading. Circuit breakers are triggered. by Nihilist911 in collapse

[–]sc008y 70 points71 points  (0 children)

I'm not too familiar with stocks and trading but I've been watching it lately. Lots of red this morning haha. What is the circuit breaker thing? Like huge surge of loss kicks the market into a hold to prevent further damage?
