    What would war with Russia look like?

    Were actually about 90 trillion in debt. Almost none of it is held outside the US. Wars don't create wealth they destroy it. If wars created wealth we should voluntarily scuttle our Navy and bomb our own airforce bases. When the US defualts it will be very bad for wallstreet and about six...

    What would war with Russia look like?

    Dave, Are you seriously making the argument, that people should either kill or get themselves killed for your 401k? I was needling you before, but wow you really are a war profiteer.

    What would war with Russia look like?

    My source or the German destroyer sinking was "The Rise and Fall of the third Riech" - I read it in another book also but I don't remember the name of the vessel. The incident was not publicised by either side. I believe the first public mention of it was in Shires book. Anyway there were...

    What would war with Russia look like?

    Our borders are pourous because entering the US illegaly is a "civil infraction" its not actually consdidered a crime. It hasn't been a "crime" since the 70's

    What would war with Russia look like?

    It doesn't matter anyway because the US is broke getting broker, and in 10 years we won't be able to field an army larger than 100k anyway. Go check out CBO.GOV, it ain't a conspiracy.

    What would war with Russia look like?

    Dave, You are a warmonger. Nothing happening out side of north america is a vital US interest. Every problem you stated is a vital interest for some other country. The Arabs are Isreals problem, Russia is the EUs problem., We have already fought China 3 times won once. None of those battles...

    What would war with Russia look like?

    Whenever You hear the newsman talk about military involvement in a foriegn country you should ask yourself, do I want my grandson getting killed for Exxon, Chiquitta, National Sugar, ETC. You and I have no vital interest that exists more than 200 miles from any of our borders. The idea that we...

    What would war with Russia look like?

    My 2 cents, Russia and Ukraine are none of our bussiness. The average US citicen gains NOTHING from US imperialistic foriegn policy. The sad part about is, most of you don't get that. Ukraine is a country full of ADULTS, if they don't want Russia to invade they should man up. If they armed...

    Running aground

    COs are relieved as part of the inquiry proccess, his carreer isn't neccesarily over, but it probly is. If your ship runs aground it means you were close to land, which means the CO should have been on the bridge, the CO is responsable for the safe navigation of the vessel, he has total...

    It's a Team's Life Indelicate Subject : It's a Teams Life

    We use a standard sized rectangular trash can and kitchens trash bags, with either "feline pine" or "yesterdays news" kitty litter. No mess or stink, darn cheap. Just tie up the bag when done. ;-) Also never get a pressure splash. Sent from my SPH-D700 using EO Forums mobile app

    A/C in AA truck sleeper

    The way to test it is touch the heater line hose where it goes into the core housing while you been running the truck for a while with the ac set to the cold side, if the hose is warm your valve is letting coolant flow by. Sent from my SPH-D700 using EO Forums mobile app

    A/C in AA truck sleeper

    I used to have the same problem, Dave is on the right track. I disconected their engines coolant line valve and replaced it with a manual ball valve. ONce you bypass their valve the thermostat on the wall cease to work, but it never worked to good anyhow. I do occasionally catch my wife...

    Lucas oil additives good or bad?

    AmsOil is NOT an additive, it is a fully synthetic oil, its been around for a longtime. Even they admit that Delvac is pretty good stuff its about the best 'off' the shelf brand you can get. But if you don't filter out the carbon no matter what oil you use you'll have to change it a lot. The...

    Fedex solo

    Most of yhe solo FECC drivers I meet are either angry, or happy working niche markets they found. Like running cross border hops. Or working LA and San Diego local short runs. FedEx is geared toward teams, which I'm sure your recruiter will tell you. Unless something has changed recently. Sent...

    Lucas oil additives good or bad?

    Be careful adding amsoil to an old engine. It is a high detergent oil and will break dwon all the crudy sludge caked in the engine. If you have more than a couple 100k on the engine they recomend a engine flush before switching over. Sent from my SPH-D700 using EO Forums mobile app

    Lucas oil additives good or bad?

    The most damaging thing in your oil is Carbon, it builds up and sands your engine. If you can revmove the carbon from the oil. The oil will last indefinately or untill the cimbustion acids eat out the additive package. Bypass filters remove the carbon which is what i think your loking for. Even...

    Lucas oil additives good or bad?

    Lucas is crap, it actually makes your oil less lubriss. There have been tons of studies done and they all agree, if you use a decent oil to begin with no additives are neccesary and using them is actually harmfull. I run amsoil 15-40 in my truck using a by-pass filter. With over 900k I'm...

    Well I just guessed that if the TA was frozen solid likely anyone else in the area is too. According to dispatch, quite a few other trucks froze last night also.
