    Coronavirus

    My question about how sickness and deaths are documented is this: Why do we have pretty much zero people getting sick with the flu this season? Here is what the Utah Health Dept says about flu-caused hospitalization over the last 5 years:

    I just opened a Roth IRA, and am ready to invest in the stock market

    So is there a way for small investors to short sell and make money off of the drop when this goes off a cliff?

    Local plus nut/cross nut source

    Have you tried Marshalls Industrial Hardware? I'd be surprised if they didn't have them available by each.

    I just opened a Roth IRA, and am ready to invest in the stock market

    Ha! I just bought a handful of shares and it was trucking on up at 1.90/share

    Snowshoeing

    Is there enough snow anywhere near SLC to do some decent snowshoeing? I haven't ventured out much, but there is almost no snow in the oquirhs.

    Topic of Discussion Trail Spotting 101

    I agree with the hand signals, especially on a difficult obstacle or in crowded conditions. There are likely to be many "spotters" telling you what to do and you can easily disregard all the noise and watch the person you trust. This brings up the issue of too much help or not enough...

    Political So now what

    I supported Trump just because he treated so many things, like foreign aid, with a bit of common sense and he didn't just do what everyone expected of a politician. It was fun watching the media try to figure out what was coming next. That being said, simply having leaders who behave as if...

    Political So now what

    DJT is probably worth even more if they impeach him a second time! It is a bit funny to watch the freak show on both sides, but too frustrating to get caught up in it.

    If I was gonna build a house from scratch, I'd just weld it

    Pretty cool, but I think container houses are overrated. By the time you cut up a container, you lose all of the weather-tight abilities it had and it is just a space-limiting, hard to insulate building block that will rust and must be maintained like any other construction technique - more...

    Let's talk about the F.I.R.E. movement (Financially Independent, Retire Early).

    My mom taught me sort of like Ramit Sethi. We basically lived extremely frugally in almost every way, except we spent a bit on things that we really thought would bring us (vacation or some really cool thing). I think I've arrived at the point that knowing I have enough saved to buy a nice car...

    Your Pic of The Day

    When I was out at the geode beds a few months ago, there was a guy driving around an explorer with one flat, debeaded tire. He was just driving around on it all day like it was the most natural thing to do. He was with a big group of people and we didn't have a spare to fit (we were in a ram...

    Let's talk about the F.I.R.E. movement (Financially Independent, Retire Early).

    There are obviously more factors to happiness than financial independence. I will just throw in here that becoming financially independent at the expense of your health or relationships is the stupidest thing anyone could do. Taking care of your body so you can enjoy the last half of your life...

    Let's talk about the F.I.R.E. movement (Financially Independent, Retire Early).

    I'm kind of with Kurt. I guess retirement means different things to different people and I may be reading something else into your statements. I'm at a stage where I enjoy the work I do and it allows me the ability to do the things I want. I have enough saved that I could safely retire if I...

    Bumper cover paint job

    Not to mention, shooting with a rattle can is crazy frustrating after working with a real gun. It takes forever to put the paint down.

    Justin's TJ

    My son works maintenance at a Walmart distribution center in Corona. As long as he isn't on quarantine, he can basically get all the hours he cares to work.

    Getting healthier in 2020. Who's in?

    Interesting to see your experience. I'm not on a diet per se, but I have taken to growing, preparing, cooking, and eating more vegetables this year. I've really gotten into Jamie Oliver's ultimate veg series on PBS. I love finding new flavors and textures I can make without meat. Before you...

    Wanted 265-65r17 spare tire

    Heating a Cold Shop?

    I would allow a little ventilation and just use a cheap propane torpedo heater. It will warm up an area in a hurry.

    General Tech Simple wiring kit for Taurus fan?

    Assuming the wiring is less than 10 feet, I would just use 10g and a 30A fuse.
