Sooo when can I get one?

If they had a Large in a 27.5 offering, I think my Operator might've ended up in the Buy & Sell pretty damn quick.

That red part in the smoke is the Tall Crane arm. Huge lickin flames.

Obession, or Addiction? That is the question that preoccupies The Master Plan Dan.

K&N?

ya K&N!

nice lookin motor but I hated that commercial ;)

Is it all its cranked up to be?

> How much you asking?

I knew I forgot something. Price has been added to the main description but also right here: $900 CDN plus shipping. I can ship this pro.

> Is that an 01? I can't remember my Monster years…

frame and monster both '00. The '01s were black and red.

> marcus look at the whistler website and gallery ur in the second to last picture of may

You had my hopes up - I was hoping it was an action shot, not a shot of my backside.

> holy fuck, so there was a CK steelset stuck in the reducers? I guess as long as the frame is OK its all good. What happened to the steelset?

The steelset is A-ok. The reducers were actually really easy to cut with a hacksaw after I went through a few dremel disc's trying to get all surgical on its ass. Nothing but one minor scratch on the one of the steelset cups.

I lived in the west end (Haro and Chilco) for about 7 years and there were fire trucks, police cars and ambulances responding without sirens in our neighborhood and on our block every day.

There are a ton of older folks living in the apartments down there and the care services are constantly down there.

Anecdotal info the same as yours, and I haven't been down there for about a year but there were definitely loads of emergency services in that area before the pandemic.

I wont argue the retirement age aspect but lets say, in my opinion, there was a definite increase of emergency vehicles after end of May. I could add, in the winter and spring months, there was no police car arriving first. Ambulance or fire truck yes, police not on site.

Here's a frightening thought for you: you might've met me ;)

Maybe Trump will get in next time? After all, Biden only won with 51% of the popular vote.

What happened to "most votes ever and more than Obama"?

Something I've noticed a huge increase of is the amount of police responding to calls that arent emergency based, as in they dont have their lights and sirens on when en route to their destination. Some time after the police arrive, the fire truck or ambulance does.

I've notice this because I quit bartending and drive a truck around delivering stuff. The west end has been busy AF WRT to emergency vehicles since the vax program started but before that, there was nowhere near the amount of emerg vehicles in or around the west end (not even close).

This happened during past heat wave we had as well. Police would show up well before the Ambulance could. This might be a logical fallacy of 2+2 = Shoguns math but I dont think its anecdotal.

Just saw a Biden clip where he stated that 99% of sars2 cases were in unvaccinated people. Doesnt that contradict that MSNBC article that stated 74% of cases were double tapped? Even the President is spreading fake news.

Anyone else catch it Friday during a WH presser when a reporter asked how they're testing for the delta variant and the end answer was basically "the experts said so".

Since I saw a pnas.org article on a previous page, I'll leave this one here for some reading material.

Reverse-transcribed SARS-CoV-2 RNA can integrate into the genome of cultured human cells and can be expressed in patient-derived tissues

What are peoples thoughts on a mass vaccincation program in the middle of a pandemic? @ShoreBoy - isnt that a technical no no?

You can judge me however you like. It doesnt change you cant go by the defined words they used let alone answer a question from me. I throw lots of different questions/angles out to see which you or someone else wants to talk aboot. Basically like choose your own adventure. However, you and a few others choose to make it about me. You fail to conversate. The verbage said both differentiate and facilitate detection btw but that doesnt really matter does it.

Quoted for posterity. I never thought I'd see someone say they can redefine the English language so it says whatever they want it to say.

Pretty sure he’s trying to claim that it’s us (plus the medical and government professionals) that are attempting to redefine words, not that he can do it. 

Bizarre.

You could just ask what I meant? 

I also don't recall saying the whole medical and science community were using the wrong words so please quit misdirecting things.

So tell me again how that makes me a liar if it does say the test does not differentiate?

Does a test that only identifies COVID "facilitate detection and differentiation" of COVID and influenza?  To me it sounds like they are recommending a test that will identify both "in preparation for flu season".

As shoreboy said, they have tests for both. Why are they moving away from what they designed specifically a year ago?

I'm actually a little surprised that the trolling has gone on for over a hundred pages. 

That's a pretty big commitment tbh.

They've been dredging me for years yo.

Oh, and with what Couch_Surfer said, definitely don't lump me into the anti-vax or anti-mask/freedom crowds - I'm not either of those. I know I'm cutting a thin wedge here, but I'm also not denying reputable science either.

What is your Vax status anyways? Obviously it's private medical info but I don't recall you posting up about getting one or both.
