News / Coronavirus in Poland - part 2 [595]

What is your problem?

The problem is that jon diminishes everything about Covid issues that he disagrees with.
He never posts his sources, just his self authoritative personal opinion.
I try to inform people about Covid and the Covid shots.
My sources are extremely credible and I would like to share them to help and inform people.
jon ( commonly called, "Mr. Twister"), takes posts off - topic by twisting the focus of Covid shots into painting the picture that I am an antivaxxer against all vaccine like the Polio and MMR vaccines .which is not true.
That is what the problem is and thanks for asking Pawian.
With that said, lets move on before he closes this thread.

Off-Topic / A VERY CHRISTMASSY FORUM - IDEAS FOR CHRISTMAS THREADS [156]

Happy Holidays is an Americanism.

Yes, by the Woke and Atheists that refuse to acknowledge the reason for the season.
Anytime they hear the word Christ as in Christmas they start trembling in fear.
When someone says Happy Holidays to me, I always respond with, "And a Merry Christmas to you." 🎅

jon look, we know this is your forum and that you are the Administrator but you shouldn't try to control the narrative with your authority here.
You need to face the facts about Covid.
Now lets move on.
Quoting:
COVID-19 virus likely originated from a lab leak at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, where it may have been manufactured as a chimera.
Lockdowns, mask mandates, social distancing, and vaccine mandates were not based on sound science and did more harm than good.
Natural immunity exists for COVID-19, as it does for other viruses.
And President Trump's "racist" travel bans likely saved lives.
Isn't amassing how most of what you called conspiracy theories came true.

, cards weren`t rationed

Unless crafted by the sender, they are big waste of money.
You spend $5 on a card, the recipient takes a 15 second look at it, shakes it a few times to see if any money falls out and tosses it into the fire.
You are better off sending a text or e-mail in this day and age that can be deleted by the push of a button.
No waste of time, paper or stamp.
For us Christians it is, "Merry Christmas".
For the non Christians it is, "Happy Holidays".

USA, Canada / Will Americans flee from the US to Poland? [186]

Not bad but not so good as winter designed tyres.

All season tires gives a smoother ride, much better gas mileage and last much longer than winter tires.
And yes, they work very well on snowy roads.
they additionally buy cheap Chinese all season tyres

I have all season Bridgestone Duelers on my truck that run about $1200 + for the four of them.
They are one of the best tire brands around the world.
Bridgestone Corporation is primarily a Japan based multinational company with approximately 181 production facilities distributed across 24 countries.
no wonder there is chaos on the snowy roads in the US.

I guess your reading comprehension failed you again
What I said was:
a wet heavy snow.
If you drive on it, it turns to ice.
The roads are glare ice,

Doesn't matter what kind of tires you have driving on ice, you are not going to stop.
Studded tires and chains are outlawed in my State so put that one to rest too.
Class dismissed

USA, Canada / Will Americans flee from the US to Poland? [186]

a little more sun would be nice in Poland in December.

If you were here where I live you would shutter right now.
High winds with a wet heavy snow.
If you drive on it, it turns to ice.
The roads are glare ice, all the schools are closed, and I am on my last bottle of bourbon and can't get to town.
We have had well over three feet of snow in the last two days and it is still snowing.
I am literally snowed in and can't get out if I wanted to.
Poland has cake walk winters compared to Northern Michigan winters.
These are the days that you rest up from the rest of the world.
Shut your phone off, get in in your recliner chair with your cat on your lap, cover him with a light blanket, turn a movie on and fall asleep.
I like gray days too but not as many as Poland has.
My bourbon bill would be astronomical if I lived in Poland.

Off-Topic / Stock Market Talk and Trading - part 2 [573]

Quoting post #101 of October 24th of 2024
Jimmy Poorhouse tipping the stock at 257. Of course it immediately dropped, to 254. Since then things have got much worse, and the price has slumped to 217.

Here we are 7 weeks later and Tesla is presently at $354 today, up $100 a share from then.
Now if Diminishing Hairy Lazarus would have just listened to Poorhouse Jimmy and bought a hundred shares of Tesla at $254 he now, (seven weeks later) would have made himself a cool $10.000 which is more than he has ever made in a year.
How does mystic Jimmy do it is right. Hoot !
How does that saying go......"he who laughs last wins" ?
Now its Lazarus's turn to tip us with a stock.

Polonia / Polish Zloty Can't Exchange in France!.. [26]

France is in a world of hurt.
Quoting:
It looks all but certain that France's government will collapse this week, giving it the unwanted distinction of being the shortest-lived government in modern French history.
The ramifications, however, go beyond France.
The collapse is expected to happen on Wednesday or Thursday, whenever parliament holds a no-confidence vote on Prime Minister Michel Barnier. By all accounts, he has virtually no prayer of surviving.
How will this effect Poland and the rest of the E.U.

Off-Topic / Coup in South Korea [44]

if the coup continues will the freedom loving west slap sanctions on South Korea?

Excellent point but doubtful.
Korea has already assured that the implementation of arms contracts with Poland is not at risk.

Look at what it has done to the companies stocks that rely on computer chips from S.K.
This could have huge ramifications for Poland on arms contracts from not only S.K. but also the U.S.

Life / Is Polish church involved in politics too much? [137]

it was once a bit more usual to hire based on actual ability.

Are you worried that Trump will change it back to that again ?
No shame in flipping burgers at McDonals as both Trump and Harris have done it.

Life / Things that annoy you in Poland. [133]

anyone beside me think Polish girls who are in late teens and in 20s

That's because you are twice as old as they are and they have no interest in you as you should have no interest in them.
They probably find you twice as annoying and call you a "Creeper".

Travel / Transport adventures in Poland [93]

due to how much electronic stuff is in the car now that can get damaged

You are correct.
I never spray high pressure water on the engine itself.

Pop the hood and wash the underside of it and spray the engine compartment down too.

(Translated to American English as: Spray the underside of the hood and the compartment that the engine is housed in)
A lot of engines today are aluminum and don't corrode from salt.
I do however wash the underside of the hood and fenders inside the engine compartment.
(The metal stuff that rusts from salt)
The over spray is not enough to hurt any components.
I have never had a problem but then again I drive a truck that is built for abuse.

hoping that the rain would wash the salt off my car

Pop the hood and wash the underside of it and spray the engine compartment down too.
The salt will stay there and corrode and make it rust in those hidden spots,.due to the chemical reaction by the salt which acts as a corrosive agent.
Drive your car down the road in the rain to wash the underside of the car too.
