@1J04 , Yep, that's me too. Currently dealing with this flu virus going around. It's a nasty one this year...

It beat the hell out of us here, I was down for five days and took another week before I was 100% after. We lost one of our buddies here to it, 53 and in great health, he had been sick for a few days, then one evening his fever spiked huge, completely incoherent and passed out. He was rushed to the hospital and passed that night. His fever was 105 when the medics got to his house, supposedly that was with 800mg of Advil onboard. Our doctor said that has been the mode of this strain, high fevers and sudden increase along with blood pressure spikes.

We got something New Year’s Day. Some from the party were puking for a few days others shat like gooses... light fevers


I have gotte flu shot every year since 2009 or so... not a prevent all but some folks are anti vax.
Why not get a puncture for preventing -
Hep A
Hep B
Pnemonia
Tetanus
measles (MM&R)
Flu shot



I know I know I know

Measles are free range
Measles are organic
Measles come from nature.


Shots are bad and have more mercury than 1/5 of a piece of sushi!


90% of the folks hospitalized and who die from the flu don’t get the flu shot......



If your parents, aunts, uncles, grandparents have not mentioned the flu shot and the pnemonia Shot, maybe have that chat with them.

Yep, that sums it up. This is my fifth day, and finally turned the corner. Last night was the first night in five days I haven't had a fever of some kind. The first fever broke early Saturday morning, but was followed up the following two nights with a massive fever during the night. Strangely, it wasn't accompanied by chills, just full on, full body sweats (literally waking up with puddles of sweat, with the sheets saturated and stuck to me). This morning I actually feel somewhat human again (may even go into work today for a half day to clear some shit of my plate). Had the same massive sweats when I first went to bed, but woke up bone dry and felt rested (finally).

I've had the flu a few times, and this was by the worse I've ever experienced. I was drinking water/gatorade continuously (along with pissing), and was always thirsty, and piss didn't run clear until this morning. I normally get about 6-7hrs sleep; Friday night I slept 13hrs, and Saturday another 11hrs. While I never felt in danger of dying (and trust me, I know what septic shock feels like), I can totally see how/why this is hitting people so hard. It was rough.

I hope everyone who reads this takes heed. Follow the advice in excess; drink a shit ton of liquids and try to sleep as much as possible. For me there was no nausea, so I also forced myself to eat (no appetite) and managed most days to choke down a protein shake to stave off chewing on my own muscle mass for energy (still lost 5 lbs in 4 days). Mucinex Sinus Max Day/Night seemed the most effective for relieving the symptoms (screaming headache, hacking cough, sinus pressure); Nyquil/Dayquil a distant second.

Stay safe out there fells, and keep an eye on your loved ones. This strain is a real bitch.

Hmmmm. The gifs don't work today. I used "insert link" yesterday and it worked fine. Gonna have to keep track of the anomalies.

They most certainly did not strap a plane to a gun, the truth is awesomer than that. Years ago I read an interview with a Fairchild engineer (Fairchild originally built the A-10) and the engineer said that they essentially designed a plane around the GAU-8.

I got the flu shot one time in my life, when we were having our first son......thats the second time I got pneumonia.

If you look closely ('cause I know you're just scopin' the fuck outta that, right?), it looks like she's about ready to throw a leg over that and ride it good.

At least it's clickable. Definitely something a pipeliner would do.

Yeah, right, and I hung Thor's hammer up, too.

I watched a show on the A10 when I was sick a couple weeks ago, you could tell from the look in the peoples eyes they were talking to that even to this day they are still impressed with the A10. They had one of the planes that took a huge hit through a wing and took out an engine, had bullet holes all over that plane and it still made it back. I couldn't imagine what it is like on the ground when it makes a pass.

It is just plain fucking awesome, like freedom itself is falling from the sky and screaming "fuck you and die! Have some 'Merica you goatfuckers!"

We built them in Burlington, VT... at the GE Plant. The truth is stranger than fiction... but the gist is that the plane was designed around the gun!

I say 'we' because I ran part of their advanced programs skunkworks for a few years in the early 2000's..

An interesting bit of trivia... the original concept for the GE minigun was proved out using an early military Gatling Gun... in .45/70... that engineers in the '50s strapped an electric motor on to prove the concept. It ran like a top... at thousands of rounds per minute. The original 'test' Gatling gun is still on display up at the Ethan Allen range where all the guns are tested. Motor gone... an historical relic of epic importance!

The 'hard part' of making a Gatling gun work is not the bolts and firing... it's the materials movement of the belts. Every one of those 30mm shells weighs about 3 pounds. When you start a belt moving at 3,000 a minute (plus or minus), you are moving 3,000 x 3 pounds... or 4.5 tons of belt at a go. Yes, the belts were not long enough for a full minute of firing. But you see the problem... the inertia of those shells starting and stopping in the feed... was monsterous! The bolts worked slicker than goose-turds on linoleum. The ammo feeding was an engineering masterpiece!

Cheers,

Sirhr

Just a hop, skip and a jump from me. Idiot, I have a bet going that she is/was a cheerleader, either in high school or currently for the university. In fact I would place another wager she is on a "cheer" scholarship.

Why do we keep interfering with Darwinism, let it run its course! My 8 year old daughter knows what complete morons these kids are.

Tell the liberals that Tide Pods will give them the superpower to remove Trump from office but only if the eat two. Solves more problems than it causes.
