    Effects of the virus scare?

    Just to clear this , no scope on a 10 in barrel. The reason for broken glasses , noses ,split brows has nothing to do with a scope. The gun literally jumps out of their grip and the recoil flips the pistol up into their face.

    Effects of the virus scare?

    T/C contender 45/70. 10 in barrel. I've witnessed more than one person with a split brow ,gash accross nose, broken glasses ripped off face. Because they were man enough to shoot it. They had no idea of the consequences, till it was too late. Go ahead try it sometime. Better use 2 hands and hang on !

    Lost AZ Gold

    Great stories , History Memory serves me. We had 2 back to back floods in the 90's where the only bridge accross the salt that was left standing was the mill ave Tempe bridge. 51st ave bridge was gone , high waters were up over the bridge abutments. Tangled mess of steel. All along downstream banks. All the supports and pier foundations in the middle were gone. It forever changed the river down stream. I remember working on 91 st ave. river crossing from the first flood. River was over a mile wide + the second flood wiped out everything we did. it was way worst than the first one. I'd be surprised if anything along the old normal banks would be ever found. Not to mention areas along the river that had changed in other floods prior to those 2 back to back. I've been know to be wrong!

    Time for America to take ACTION

    From a nurse on the front line:: CDC recommending hospital staff use bandanas when masks run out. Hospitals are asking the public to sew masks. Here is a physician responding: Please don't tell me that in the richest country in the world in the 21st century, I'm supposed to work in a fictionalized Soviet-era disaster zone and fashion my own face mask out of cloth because other Americans hoard supplies for personal use and so-called leaders sit around in meetings hearing themselves talk. I ran to a bedside the other day to intubate a crashing, likely COVID, patient. Two respiratory therapists and two nurses were already at the bedside. That's 5 N95s masks, 5 gowns, 5 face shields and 10 gloves for one patient at one time. I saw probably 15-20 patients that shift, if we are going to start rationing supplies, what percentage should I wear precautions for? Make no mistake, the CDC is loosening these guidelines because our country is not prepared. Loosening guidelines increases healthcare workers' risk but the decision is done to allow us to keep working, not to keep us safe. It is done for the public benefit - so I can continue to work no matter the personal cost to me or my family (and my healthcare family). Sending healthcare workers to the front line asking them to cover their face with a bandana is akin to sending a soldier to the front line in a t-shirt and flip flops. I don't want talk. I don't want assurances. I want action. I want boxes of N95s piling up, donated from the people who hoarded them. I want non-clinical administrators in the hospital lining up in the ER asking if they can stock shelves to make sure that when I need to rush into a room, the drawer of PPE equipment I open isn't empty. I want them showing up in the ER asking "how can I help" instead of offering shallow "plans" conceived by someone who has spent far too long in an ivory tower and not long enough in the trenches. Maybe they should actually step foot in the trenches. I want billion-dollar companies like 3M halting all production of any product that isn't PPE to focus on PPE manufacturing. I want a company like Amazon, with its logistics mastery (it can drop a package to your door less than 24 hours after ordering it), halting its 2-day delivery of 12 reams of toilet paper to whoever is willing to pay the most in order to help get the available PPE supply distributed fast and efficiently in a manner that gets the necessary materials to my brothers and sisters in arms who need them. I want Proctor and Gamble, and the makers of other soaps and detergents, stepping up too. We need detergent to clean scrubs, hospital linens and gowns. We need disinfecting wipes to clean desk and computer surfaces. What about plastics manufacturers? Plastic gowns aren't some high-tech device, they are long shirts/smocks...made out of plastic. Get on it. Face shields are just clear plastic. Nitrile gloves? Yeah, they are pretty much just gloves...made from something that isn't apparently Latex. Let's go. Money talks in this country. Executive millionaires, why don't you spend a few bucks to buy back some of these masks from the hoarders, and drop them off at the nearest hospital. I love biotechnology and research but we need to divert viral culture media for COVID testing and research. We need biotechnology manufacturing ready and able to ramp up if and when treatments or vaccines are developed. Our Botox supply isn't critical, but our antibiotic supply is. We need to be able to make more plastic ET tubes, not more silicon breast implants. Let's see all that. Then we can all talk about how we played our part in this fight. Netflix and chill is not enough while my family, friends and colleagues are out there fighting. Our country won two world wars because the entire country mobilized. We out-produced and we out-manufactured while our soldiers out-fought the enemy. We need to do that again because make no mistake, we are at war, healthcare workers are your soldiers, and the war has just begun.

  16. Building an actual bridge is kinda stupid. Channeling that section of the river and building a giant pipe culvert would be the cheapest , fastest way ! Lay gaint metal sections of pipe and build a road over them. Just like they do in driveways. Ever been to the north end of lake pleasants culvert bridge. Same thing but on a bigger scale. Nothing new here in the desert!

    Being Social

    Social conditioning is the sociological process of training individuals in a society to respond in a manner generally approved by the society in general and peer groups within soci ety. The concept is stronger than that of socialization, which is the process of inheriting norms, customs and ideologies. We all like to think we have free will and make our own decisions in life, but in actual fact, we are programmed at an early age by social conditioning. Social conditioning is a set of rules and behavior dictated to us by society. It’s very easy to see how we as individuals can be conditioned in this way. No one wants to stand out when they are younger. We all want to fit in. If you are different, you are bullied, ridiculed and ostracised from popular groups. We soon learn to fall in line with whatever everyone is doing, saying, wearing, wanting, even believing. So how does it start and who conditions us? The thing is, this kind of conditioning begins as soon as we are born. Parents immediately reinforce gender differences. Parents tell girls to behave in a quiet and polite manner and boys must not cry. Teachers take on the baton and steer boys towards scientific subjects such as maths and physics. On the other hand, girls are pushed to creative topics. Our newly qualified graduates head out into the workplace. Adverts bombard them with messages on what to wear, what to look like and who they should like. This constant drip-feeding of nudging and reinforcing the right responses actually affects our behavior without us really knowing. So what can you do to break free from conditioning? Don’t be afraid to question or confront people about their behavior. If you see something you don’t agree with – say so.Don’t surround yourself with like-minded people. You’ll only reinforce your own views. Watch media from different sources. If you only ever read one newspaper, switch to another. Do your own thing! Live by your own rules. So what if you don’t earn a lot of money? Do what makes you happy! Finally, recognize when your behaviors or beliefs are a result of social conditioning and work to change them. Above all else, don't listen to politicians who are self-serving and who's sole objective is to fulfill their own needs at any cost. COVID-19, although real, has given the 'powers to be" the perfect opportunity to further their agenda of world domination, and in hopes of creating a "NEW WORLD ORDER". Now, more than ever, is the time to think for ourselves, BEFORE ITS TOO LATE Thought I'd pass this on.
