I'm not the one pointing out a problem without offering up viable solutions in science, or even a grounded idea. Your issue, you find your own solution on your own dime. I still await your ground breaking approach to address these issues you are so up in arms about, which although monetarily speaking will not cost you anything, will cost you time and thought. Looking forward to your reply that addresses your concerns you pointed out with our current approach to these issues across meteorology and ocean exploration.

We have a corrupt govt yet you guys are arguing over the ocean floor lol

Discussions over science are at least based in some amount of measurable truth, unlike politics. Good luck with that spectrum of discourse and picking apart which pile of poo has more nuts in them, not to mention what Trips has already said about this thread being clear of politics.

Buddy, you're the one that brought up for me to come up with a solution. Since no solution is present and I am willing to do this, I need a financial backer.

BTW, I never brought up ocean floor mapping, and was a by-product somehow of the discussion. Read through the posts.

So just to be clear, from the several posts already, you still have no solution to present? An idea only costs time and thought. Since you brought this up, it has been going on 24 hours and I have to think that from your passion expressed in your posts on the just meteorology, you would have been thinking about this already (making a hypothesis here). So am I to assume you are not gonna offer at least an idea, that is grounded in science, on how the world can approach meteorology different that is an improvement based on data that we currently have available to us? Is there a better approach you have in mind for modeling weather fronts and how to more accurately predict their travel? Do you have access to more data than currently trained meteorologists? If so, the world would greatly benefit from your expertise.

My point is, and I've said this in previous posts, complaining is easy and doesn't cost near as much in thought and time as coming up with at least a hypothesis on an actual scientific grounded approach to improve something. Unless one is actually going to offer a solution, complaining about something (or at the bare minimum it came across as you being displeased) does nothing but make someone look like they are banging on a drum just to have attention.

So send me a blank check so I can come up with a solution, or improve upon it. I didn't think I was complaining, but rather posting an opinion. I must have struck a nerve for you to feel this strongly about this and get butthurt.

On a side note, if I did have a viable solution, I sure as hell wouldn't post it on a public forum for someone else to steal my idea.

Buddy, it's not a big deal. Go have a Bud Light.

While I understand that we may have the need to discuss politics this is not the place for it. Firstly it’s a Car Forum even if it’s posted in the off topic section rules are rules NO POLITICS.

I want to give you guys the respect you deserve and wanted to remind everyone of the NO POLITICS on the forum per AK’s Rules. I’m not going to be giving any further warnings. I’m going to be forced to take some unpleasant actions members continuing to bring political discussion or anything else that’s not allowed on here You as veteran OG members should know better. Keep it to chit chat discussions car related if possible and not turn into members attacking members I’m asking one last time keep it civil and respectful. Thank You and for the record no one brought me in here. I do still look after things so don’t think it’s a free for all. Have a good Memorial weekend!!

Guilty conscious? You took the time and effort to go back through how many posts to find that exact quote to try to prove you aren't the mole.

It was a blast, seems the type-r, needs just a couple of minor tweaks to get it track ready, had a comment from a person following on how, it just pulled away. Just not enough tire.
but fun yes.... enjoy yes.... not only tracking, but all the cars and different folks. I even found someone older then me tracking :)

:hello:
Last 4 wheeling. Have a blast. Damage so far for the group. One flat tire, and one blown locking front hub on the axle. All of that happened on the black trails. Surprisingly we didn't have more damage.

eastwest2300 06-25-2023 12:47 PM

its a scorcher outside y'all, make sure you're drinking water. :iagree:

Add me to the damage list. Both front hydraulic bump stops are blown.
