  1. Have you seen the updated correction on that false claim about the pallets? The pallets have NIDO on them, not baby formula. NIDO is powdered milk made by the Nestle Corp. It's not for babies.
  2. ^^^^^^^^^^^ This is the part that interests me the most. Here is my attempt at an "adult conversation," as requested by Badger. Hilary, a candidate that many people hated, still got 66,000,000 votes, even after Comey revealed the "Hilary's email" letter to Congress a week or two before the election. Did fifteen million additional people vote for Biden four years later? It's possible, especially since votes for Trump jumped by eleven million over that same span. Based on my own circle of friends, relatives, and coworkers, I suspect lots of people who did not vote in 2016 decided to vote in 2020. (Yes, I know I can't speak for the nation.) My family and my wife's family are good examples of what might have happened when Biden ran against Trump. In 2016, most of the fourteen people in our combined families voted for Trump. Five of those people who voted for him in '16 are military personnel (one retired; four active). Only two of the military family members voted for Trump again in 2020. Of the other nine relatives, quite a few changed their minds and voted for Biden, too. (Weird, huh?) Based on our family discussions since then, I've determined the change was not so much a pro-Biden one as it was an anti-Trump one. While he was in office, Trump's approval ratings averaged about 40%, even in Fox and Rasmussen polls. That makes me wonder how he could have received a majority of votes if the clear majority of voters did not approve of his job performance. Based on that, I am looking forward to your explanation as to why Biden could not have received more votes. . Please note that in my response, I never said I was a Biden fan. Now I'll watch the movie . . .
  3. From my own experience, the '17 Assault 800 and the '20 Assault 850 have more motor than the 2019 and 2020 Doo 850s. Did Doo up its game with the '21 and '22 models? <edit> The '19 Doo 850 was a belt blower, but the motor had over 10,000 trouble-free miles when the owner traded it toward a '22 850.
  4. Whether he was claiming Cat was second in sales or that only a handful of 2012 Cats that his dealership sold had belt issues, krom was far from a trustworthy source on HCS. I used to have fun using actual evidence to bust all his lies, but then I received a private message from someone who knows him, telling me to go easy on him for certain reasons. I stopped replying to his posts after that because it was the right thing to do. Part of me is impressed that he's now slinging BS here and probably expecting people to believe his every word. Part of me is also impressed that he STILL spends 98% of his time bashing Pol (and sometimes Doo) and 2% of his time trying to build up Cat's image. Polaris continues to dominate his every thought. By the way, I know three Cat guys who wanted to buy Cat 800s but had to buy 600s instead. They each paid . . . umm . . . $30,000. One of the guys fouled twenty sets of spark plugs in five miles and then ended up getting stranded because of a brake cylinder leak. Another one had his engine pop with .2 miles on it. The third guy's sled fell apart after it was taken out of the crate. Every single component fell off. (Hey, this is the Internet. It's easy to make up stories.)
  5. Wrong as always. Wes Selby and Micah Huss, a Cat team, could not finish the race in 2019 because their engines failed. And before that -- back when more than just a few people chose to race Cats in the Iron Dog -- a bunch of Cat's new crossover sleds suffered engine failure and other component failures during the race. (I'm not sure what Cat's crossover model was called then, but it's the one that Cat created by copying Polaris's Switchback.) Cat defenders said bad fuel was to blame, but oddly enough, Poos didn't have any issues. It really comes down to engine quality, doesn't it? "Only the racer himself" = a laughable, easily disproved claim.
  6. Let's see. Do I believe a BUNCH of people who provided actual evidence that Cat's 2023 models are not sold out, or do I believe the only person who says they are? Decisions, decisions . . .
  7. Who's the real idiot? (I bet you won't be able to grasp the irony.) Check out Country Cat's inventory: https://www.countrycat.com/machine-inventory/snowmobile The pattern of lying continues . . .
  8. Don't forget to include the Pro Lite finals for the enjoyment of us Polaris riders: 1. Evan Christian -- Polaris 2. Ryley Bester -- Polaris 3. Korbyn Anderson -- Doo <4. Nick Lorenz -- Polaris> With Friday's Pro win and last night's Pro Lite win, Polaris racers had a terrific weekend. Doo did as well. Where's ZR600RR? I can't wait to hear his spin on the race results from Friday and Saturday.
  9. My nephew and his army unit are patrolling the border at this very moment.
  10. Bontz said, "LOL .. Zambo had his feelings hurt, and took a sabbatical from here." I give the little guy credit for sticking to his guns. This place is (was?) his life. He had 40,000 or 50,000 posts his first year (before the post count was reset), which tells me he spent all of his time on here instead of doing typical stuff with friends and family. With that kind of devotion to a website, I thought he'd be back by now.
  11. Since you got caught lying about buying a sled for 11K and selling it for 12K, I think you'll understand why I do not believe your "I was talking to a guy on the Poo line" story. (No, the "12K" was not a typo. The rest of the wording in that post makes it clear what you were claiming.) Unfortunately, you've established a pattern with your countless "convenient" stories. BTW, have you seen any Poos and Doos on the trails this year, or are you only seeing Cats still? Oh, wait, I forgot -- you conveniently saw two burned-down Polarises on the same day.
  12. I saw THREE downed Cats on the trail today. (Making up stories is fun. It's too bad everyone knows when certain posters are lying, though.) FWIW, I put on 111 miles and lost TWO scratcher tips. My temps never went above 116.
  13. I was surprised to learn the speedometers on both machines are wildly inaccurate at top speed. Doo speedos have always been extremely optimistic, but Cat speedos used to be pretty accurate.
  14. 51-year-old Robert Lamay was nationally known because of the way he quit his job. https://nypost.com/2022/01/29/washington-trooper-who-defied-state-vaccine-mandate-and-told-gov-to-kiss-my-a-dies-from-covid-19/
  15. "The CDC head admits yesterday that 75% of all covid deaths were in people with four or more comorbidities" is not accurate. Check again. Your claim applies to vaccinated people, not unvaccinated ones. In other words, of the people who were vaccinated but still died, 75% had four or more comorbidities. The total number of deaths is tiny compared to the number of deaths of the unvaccinated. The "75%" stat does not apply to the unvaccinated -- they die at a much higher rate without pre-existing conditions. My close friend of over fifteen years died last month at age 49. A co-worker's husband in his 40s just died of Covid. Both men were healthy. For the record, I don't care what other people do, but based on my own experiences, I've decided not to downplay how serious Covid is.
  16. There used to be an AK440 on HCS. All he did was post over and over again about how much he disliked his Rush. The poor guy was obsessed to the point he could barely function. One day he was outed by someone who knew him and revealed that AK did not own a Rush but instead owned the worst-handling snowmobile of all time -- a 2008 or 2009 Nytro. Few people on HCS were surprised to discover that the "AK" guy was a hardcore liar. He became a laughing stock from that point on and lost what little credibility he had. It's a good thing you're not him . . . but it's odd that you share the same Rush obsession.
  17. I think a lot of you already know this by now, but a number of news outlets are reporting that the story about pilots walking off the job is fake.
  18. He wrote this: "I don't give a God damn about politics. I am just tired of watching people die that did not need to. ALL of the patients in my ICU are unvaccinated and younger than than last year. We are OVER capacity!" He's going to bed now. Let me know the name of the Tampa hospital(s).
  19. My BIL works in the ICU at a hospital in Sarasota. The number of current Covid inpatients is more than twice the highest peak the hospital saw in 2020. The same holds true at hospitals in the Punta Gorda area. I asked him about your "accident" claim, and he wrote, "Is he serious?? Our ventilators are filled with Covid sufferers, not bicycle accident victims." He wants to know the name of the hospital in Tampa Bay where your friend is seeing a rise in accidents that are leading to Covid classifications. If you give me the name of the hospital, he is confident he can tell us whether ventilator use is up or down.
  20. Do you have a link to a Stanford study? I cannot find one. (The one you posted is not from Stanford.) Thanks.
  21. Design patents last fourteen years. Did Doo start using A-arms after Cat's patents had expired? Did Cat start using a Doo-type frame after Doo's patents expired?
  22. When I browse online, I just assume someone somewhere has access to my history. Even so, I'm curious about the government's desire to search our stuff without warrants. Was there a reason given for why the government wants access to our browsing histories without needing warrants to do so? Using "probable cause" to have a warrant drawn up makes sense. Random searching sounds like a desire to take away our rights. Maybe I'm overreacting. .
