Last job I had before real retirement was rebuilding old industrial on site compressors. Most of the parts we scraped were made here. Good parts just old. The shit we replaced it with was made in China. Junk is a kind description. I would pull an order and double it because I knew at least halve this shit won't work. The bin of parts that I didn't need because the other stuff was good was mighty small.
 

I had to try really hard to not hit the STOP button on that vid. This is what us old F's (not farts, either!) have to look forward to when it comes time for that "Elder Care" we hear about so much.
I think I will just disappear into the "Woods"... when that time in my life comes. Ugh.

Why are liberals so ugly?

From an evolutionary point of view, beauty and an attractive body shape are two markers of physical and psychological health, along with the concept of “good genes” and a healthy immune system [1]. Thus, beauty and an attractive body shape reflect the concept of a healthy physiology that is free of genetic disorders and infectious diseases. In this context, Wald [2] observed that thinkers and artists throughout history have believed facial beauty and particularly facial symmetry to be associated with psychological characteristics such as honesty, reliability and trustworthiness. Gordon et al. [3] found, among adolescents, that physical attractiveness was associated with better social integration, less social stigma and higher academic attainment. Likewise, Kirsch et al. [4] concluded in their review of the associations of neuronal processes with human faces and bodies (both static and dynamic), that specific neural areas are responsible for the processing of beautiful faces and bodies. Thus, Kirsch et al. [4] offer a neuronal explanation as to why humans want and like symmetric and beautiful faces and bodies. It follows, therefore, that concepts of beauty should also be found in countries such as Iran, even though for cultural and religious reasons, large parts of a female’s body are covered, including scalp hair, which again from an evolutionary point of view is considered a signal of attractiveness and physical health.

interesting point about muslim women. how do men check them out in the tents they are required to wear? as far as Persian women i have known,they were mostly DRs so smarter than average. looks waaay above average,bodies and faces. several said that they left intending to not go back ever as they didn't want to wear tents again. their Islam was very minimal if it existed at all.

I met some beautiful and intelligent Persian women when I was in graduate school. Their families all left Iran when the Shah was overthrown. Their stories about getting out were amazing. Most left everything to come here. Nothing like what you see today.

According to the most fundamental followers of the religion, the only "acceptable" way for a man to court a woman is by seeking out her father or another male household authority figure and talking to him about it. To them, any man that the woman is communicating with or dating would be "non-mahram", even if they both love each other. Ironically, it seems to only be the creepy and violently misogynistic Muslim incels who insist that not only their own female relatives but other women as well have to abide by such an artifact as well.

Culturally, Persians are among the most secular of Muslims even if they actually adhere to some parts of the religion. Most 'cultural Muslims', ie., the ones who were brought up in the cultural fabric of MENA, practice the faith much as modern Christians do. They adhere to the parts which establish their cultural identity and reject other hadiths that depict or encourage violent or immoral acts. Amazighs (Berbers of North Africa) are mostly the same way too. When Hazizah and I were together, the only member of her family who did not agree to us being together was her grandmother. In the beginning, she always referred to me as 'the non-mahram guy' and expressed fears of "how Hazizah would fare if she is with a non-Mahram. Would he respect her religion?" Her grandmother was the only person in the family who was actually religious and wore a hijab at all times, and it was this very religiousness which led to her accepting us within a year. She eventually said that "if it is Allah's will that the two of us should find each other and be together, then that is how it is to be". Everybody was stunned at just how protective I am of her and how I made things to ensure that she could observe her own faith while she was with me. Her brother, like most other Algerians who care far more about soccer than politics or religion, always jokes with me to this day that I had "learned so much about Islam just by being with Hazizah that I had probably taken the shahada 100 times without knowing". LOL. Her grandmother in 2010 pulled me aside and asked me "even if in the future if you two are not together or anything else happens, would you still be a brother to Hazizah always? You know everything scares her and we all know that she feels the safest when she is with you?" And my reply was that this was already a promise that was made just as we met. And where I come from, promises and steel are hardened in the same foundries...

"I'm sorry' are two words you never have to say to me..."
