My pleasure. I've been sick in bed pretty much all week it gave me something productive to do I've been wanting to share some of my findings.
In a PM I showed Happy how to properly relieve stress if you own an e53:
This was an actual route my GPS software chose for me as the quickest way the orher day.
For anybody that knows Chicago highways this is the 294/190 interchange and the hwy 45/190.
I was heading west on 90 meant to get on 294 north accidentally got onto 190 into ohare (one exit too soon), this "Ebola looking path" was my course correction.
Many people would have been pissed.
I've done the same thing before so not only did I know I was about to enjoy the shit out of three full power 270s, I knew to take a screen shot once the GPS plotted the course. I also laughed my ass off on the accidental offramp because I realized immediately when I was on the 190 vs 294 ramp. Apparently I was on auto pilot as I'm used to picking people up from ORD.
I similar oops happened to me once going east out of O'Hare; they relocated the South bound 294 "to Indiana" ramp. They basically added it to the north bound 294 exit lane so the first time I went to go home to Wisconsin out of O'Hare, a path I've taken 100s of times I find myself headed to Indiana vs Wisconsin because the off ramp lane had a bonus path without the all important "traffic patterns have changed" notice.
It was a similarly crazy Ebola like path to extract myself from that including O'Hare access roads getting back to 190 then pass the 294 S to get to 294 N.
Back to the topic of the thread: it really makes one wonder how on Earth this thing took roots as strong as It did with people putting forth probably 100x the effort of anti germ hygiene than a normal year and praise God they did!
How on Earth is it so strong in the places where it is?
So far "the experts" that suggested that caused "the police state" to then insist on "social distancing" said that really doesn't help (not that I will take much stock in that) but at least there's some solid evidence to support herd masktivity is helpful. Especially helpful is the notion that any type of covering better than nothing and that mishandling the mask does not badly hurt the efficacy (probably the most important part of that study).
I have (perhaps the last one sold) a bottle of 91% isopropyl spray I keep in my car i use to renew my masks it's perfect to sterilize the things because it's non contact and alcohol is the quickest way to kill the thing.
Once that runs out I will fill it with everclear which is even stronger and doesn't make everything it touches gross like isopropyl does.
I recommend everybody use everclear vs isopropyl. Pure vs poison, you can spray your hands and when you touch your mouth later eating an m&m you won't taste the horrible isopropyl you will taste only m&m. So irritating that "the grubberment" ruins a perfect thing like ethanol and gives us isopropyl. Similar with the "canned air duster" with the "bittering agent" to stop huffing mskes them useless for their intended purpose because you will taste that SHIT for days if you use it to dust anything you actually ever TOUCH like a KEYBOARD!
I use R134a cans now. Same stuff cheaper and no bittering agent. I made an adapter that taps into R134a and connects to a shop air needle blower.
