  1. Android 4.x has been at end of life for a very long time. How long have you had the phone and are you willing to upgrade? (based on your initial post you are) If not I recommend rooting the phone (if you have the technical expertise) and installing Cyanogenmod which is Android vanilla and runs very cleanly. Potentially the caches are full and or you have used up all the device storage. Even worse an app could have a memory leak. Usually you can apply the PC trouble shooting guidelines, have you restarted it?

     

    In other news you are 100% at risk for https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stagefright_(bug). Carriers refused to update software and forced you to buy new phones. It is so fragmented in regards to carrier/google patches that most corporate environments have banned Android phones access to corporate emails via exchange. If I were you I would just upgrade the phone if you haven't had it for too long. Once you get the upgrade factory wipe the old phone and store it as a oh shit backup.


  2. Such is true. It's not like they were the Amazon of 10 years ago. Their prices aren't the lowest anymore and they charge tax like the rest of the stores. Sometimes the stuff they sell are even priced higher at times.

    For the longest time they fought against this, many high profile articles highlighted them fighting the state(s) sales taxes in many places. They caved when states started giving them shit for having operation centers in states that where they got tax relief. They were eventually going to get sued into high heaven.


  3. I'm looking at the internal wiki trying to see what the official policy is for weapons and parts. I can say the policy was put into effect in the month of June/2016. Dunno if I can share the rest of it but yes they have an unacceptable content, products and services list now.

  4. I'm trying to find a declarative answer about this but are BAS/BAH excluded from NJ taxes?

     

     

    New Jersey Residents

    If you are a New Jersey resident, you are subject to tax on all your income, regardless of where it is earned, unless the income is specifically exempt from tax under New Jersey law. You must report your military pay (including combat pay) and cost-of-living allowance as taxable income on your resident return. Mustering-out payments, subsistence and housing allowances, and U.S. military pension and survivor’s benefit payments are exempt. You (and your spouse/civil union partner if he or she is also a resident) must file Form NJ-1040 if your income for the entire taxable year from all sources, including your military pay, is more than the filing threshold amount for your filing status.

    New Jersey income tax will be withheld from military pay of New Jersey residents. If you have changed your home of record (and domicile) from New Jersey to another state, or you satisfy the three conditions for nonresident status, your military pay is not subject to New Jersey income tax. See Income Tax Withheld From Military Pay for more information.

     

    Additionally if you have moved out of state how have you handled the non-resident part of your income taxes?


  5. This state is a numbers game.  A numbers game of those who work hard, pay their own bills and take care of their own vs the free shit army.  Unfortunately NJ is a socialist state and the free shit army will keep voting them in.  I'm out in September so I give fuck all about politics in N.J. or this gas tax hike but I pity you who believe you can still win the numbers game.  This is not defeatism, it's just being smart enough to know that NJ is a failed state.

  6. That's the first I heard that it would be on sidewalks. When I read about it last week it was just while crossing the road or in a crosswalk. Either way it's ridiculous. The only thing I can think of is it gives law enforcement an option if some jack wagon walks out in front of traffic. Yeah, they have a right of way but sometimes there is nothing a driver can do

    This state is completely fucked.  I hope this bill passes.  It will be the last nail in the coffin for a lot of individuals and I hope they get up and get out.

  7. So let me give you a little background about why I said what I said.  I live in Hudson County, NJ - One of the most corrupt, destitute counties in NJ if not the entire north east.  Every elected politician ranging from the 32nd Leg. district to the mayor offices all the way to the county positions are all Democrat.  Not one of the elected officials could give a rats ass about preserving our constitutional rights, especially the second amendment.  All they care about is a fat check and staying in power.  I had to jump through hoops with the NJ2AS and threaten the mayor of my town and the captain of the police in a city hall meeting with a lawsuit if they did not follow state statutes.  That made me a target and to this day I get followed once in a while around the town by a black ford explorer, police package and all, but I got my pistol permits.  But that moment put something in perspective for me.  Life is too short to be unhappy and if something makes you unhappy change it.  You know what would make me happy:

     

    ENJOYING A CONSTITUTIONALLY GUARANTEED RIGHT

     

    In NJ to do that we would have to reset the system to the beginning because over decades of degeneration we have let it come to what it is now.  I'm a younger gentleman and I wasn't able to vote when all the brouhaha went down in the annals of history so it is not my fault but it is also not my mess to fix.  Tying back in the "change it" part of the aforementioned paragraph, individuals have devoted life's work in NJ to try and change the system but nothing has changed, it has only gotten worse.  I feel bad for those individuals that have stuck through this nightmare and it is borderline insanity.  Doing the same thing over and over again (fighting the dems) and expecting a different outcome but things remain the same.  So I'd like to bring a quote from this thread into play now.

     

    one answer.......MOVE!

     

    This is the 100% correct answer and here is why:

     

    WE ARE THE MINORITY, NOTHING HERE WILL EVER CHANGE AND NJ IS A LOST CAUSE.

     

    You can't just magically import people that think like us into the state and force a change.  For every one person you convert to a 2A supporter, ten illegal immigrants got a green card and then became citizens and then are allowed to vote.  You know who they vote for, the politicians who harbored them in Hudson County with my tax dollars.  Ultimate slap in the face.  For every two people you convert to a 2A supportor a dindu is given a hand out so that vote keeps showing up as blue.  Once you come to terms with this you will get the hell out like everyone else.  NJ is collapsing under it's own corruption and political greed.  This is the status-quo, no NJ gun laws will change.  It's sad but that is reality.  So I will continue to donate to the NJ2AS hoping they keep up the good fight but come July 1st when my lease is up, I am out of here.  I've been evaluating jobs in Florida but decided that state is out of question because too many arse holes from NJ and NY are moving there and ruining it.  I've been evaluating jobs in NC/SC area but it still gets too cold there for my liking.  I've recently been in contact with another subsidiary of my organization and they are looking forward to me officially putting in the paperwork and transferring, that would put me on the outskirts of Austin, TX with a nice home, tons of land and still working for a fortune ten company in the land of the free where taxes are minimal and I can have pretty much any weapon I want, I've been saving money for tax stamps to buy cool things.  I even have an application in with Uncle Sam to serve my country if that falls through, but I can tell you now, seeing the rest of the world is better than living in NJ and I would never rotate back here once leaving the service.  You may think of this as a defeatist attitude but it is not.  It is a rational conclusion based on the political direction of this state, The tax situation which continually gets worse and the down right disgusting attitude of 90% of the people that live in NJ.  I'd say that the other 10% are members of this forums and I enjoyed my time here and the joking and the knowledge and the camaraderie.

     

    I applaud you on your journey to try and make a difference but just like I stated before, people have devoted life's work to try and make a change in NJ and have wasted precious years.  I will not and I hope you make the decision to pursue relocating as well.

     

    /end rant

     

    best of luck to you


  8. Normally, an organization like the NRA would be a conduit for those resources.  But we all know that story. For reasons I just don't understand, issues specific to NJ are of little to no interest to the NRA. Maybe they're the arsonist that always needs a fire to watch.

     

    I have to say things with the NRA and NJ are getting better at least I'm getting emails now that are alerts from the NRA about bad legislation, I got this on 3/11: http://www.nramedia.org/t/5756767/102828531/53384/7/.  The wheels are slowly turning.
