News / Coronavirus in Poland - part 2 [599]

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.

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]


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.

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.

I guess your reading comprehension failed you again
What I said was:

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]


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.

Quoting post #101 of October 24th of 2024

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.

Christmas season is great because you can yell, "Don't come in here," and people think you're wrapping their presents and not that you just want to be left alone.

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.

Excellent point but doubtful.

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.

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.

Both run by Liberal Democrats, do you expect anything different.

@Lenka
Those were the first Polish music video's here that I really liked.
Especially that second one.
Thanks for sharing.

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".

Wasn't it 1968 when one of our other members here migrated to the United States from Poland ?

Travel / Transport adventures in Poland [103]


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


(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.

Travel / Transport adventures in Poland [103]


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.

Yes !
That is exactly what I mean.
Thank you

Yes they would Ms. Atch but unfortunately the same potty mouthed undesirables would show up and take it Off - Topic with their immature hateful insults and ruin it like they have done with this thread as you can see.
A nice Christmas thread with mature Christian posts would be so pleasant and fun without these sick shameless clowns ruining it.
With that said, you know most of us will support and respect your threads Ms. Atch.

News / Will Poles be 'fleeing' Poland to America ? [37]


I already asked him that Ms. Atch and his answer was.............
🙄
Were you joking Ms. Atch ?

Poles won't be fleeing as the Russian citizens just informed Putin that if he launches a nuke that there will be a civil war in Russia.
And I was so looking forward to some hot Polish girls needing a safe place to stay while in the U.S.A.
