    I didn’t think any stadium sports had spectators yet.  The fake crowd noise must be annoying. But I won’t be watching any of those sports.  They’ve fallen into the leftist pit.  Who wants politics injected into a leisure activity. Especially when the message they send is ..you’re a racist. ???   It was an abysmal business decision.

    The odds are, if you do any mobile banking on your phone, and stay logged into the site, that information has already been siphoned off your phone by all those "FREE" apps you've downloaded..

    Unless they use a keylogger, no.  What’s on your device is a session token.  So they wouldn’t have your credentials.  But they could scrape all the data you look at.

    Banking on a device you don’t own is a bad idea. No one owns their iPhone or Android phone anymore.  We only think we do.

    And there’s no legitimate reason they need your banking credentials.  Plus, you should use multi factor on you bank account so credentials alone are useless.  
     

    And... if you want to improve your score... pay down even part of credit  card balances if you have any.  Even a couple grand will help.  Probably more than the Boost BS...  which btw way...is ignored by mortgage lenders.

    I’m not certain about the submission date.  It could have been the day I got the email. 
    I think an email for the reference stuff probably helps speed things up under normal circumstances.  Its a lot easier to get it done and back to whoever reviews it than snail mail and paper.

    I have a friend still waiting. Initial application on June 19th I believe.  I got the ref email on the 23rd and did it immediately.  So a little past 2 months in a town I only had to wait longer than 30 days once.

    Even though the workload must be higher now due to the volume of apps, you’d think eliminating physical handling of at least some of the material would speed up the process.  I wish they would realize this is not an efficient use of resources and tax dollars.  They get all their restrictions with a simple NICS check.

    I haven’t used the new system yet for pistol permits but I suppose I will soon.

    The other thing I’ve noticed from what my friend relays is there doesn’t seem to be an easy way to get status.  He had said local PD told him all they can do it wait.  That seems like a shift backwards.  Bummer.

    I actually didn’t realize they produce a lot of stuff we buy from other brands.  Ended up with a pile of Goya products in my cart on Monday.  So, going forward, I’ll start there, then get the other stuff I need.

    There was another person at the White House that day that gave an epic speech.  Told of how he came here as a young kid and built a business and that his story could only happen in America.  Will post if I can find it.

    I’ve not seen a residential transfer switch that manages loads.  I suspect they may exist but they might be expensive.

    A couple of other options you have are....

    - a large propane tank. Not ideal in every situation, but an option.

    - a manual transfer switch that has 10 breakers. Reliance Controls make a few you can install yourself or have installed if you prefer.  For these you pick the loads you want to run off the generator.  They have 30A and 50A models.  You can gang Up to two breakers for two double pole loads. Like for a well pump.  Even on the 30A model, one of the two pole loads can be 30A.  All other breaker can be 15A or 20A. These xfer switches are usually intended to run off of portable gens with a 30A or 50A out line.  Outdoor connection boxes are used to make the connection. Reliance has good videos that explain install and operation.   So not as easy to use when needed when compared with a whole house gen and automatic transfer switch, but it will keep the important stuff running.

    Motor Snorkel makes Tri-Fuel conversion kits for a lot of generators models.

    Good luck.

    It's amazing how the government can shut down the Country and States for the corona virus and threaten arrest for violating same yet that very same government can't control all these thugs that are rioting?   what's wrong with this picture.

    A lot.

    Reveals the truth of their motives.

    And the Kabuki theater continues.  These N95 masks are unsafe but a bandanna will be fine. :facepalm:

    Exactly.  If you are sick, these masks do little to protect others.  Even the other solid masks are probably providing limited protection. Because we all know those are hermetically sealed to your face.   No exhaled air escapes.  Nope. Not a bit.

    But dammit get that bandana on or you’re going to jail.

    My Doctors PA had a mask on when I was in their office back in January.  That mask was much more elaborate that what we see people wearing in public these days.  I would think that mask, that fit her like a glove and looked more like a chemical respirator, did its job...for her.

    One can only hope. They have done a fairly good job of trampling the 2nd amendment in this state.

    True.  But that fight isn’t over.  Also, you will have FAR more people screaming about the loss of freedom of assembly for example.  Sure...people are willing to modify their activity for a short time in what they are told are threats to someone’s life.  But as the story unfolds and more questions arise about the justification and effectiveness of these actions, the more pushback we see.

    Shutting down hasn't helped either.  So what is the choice stay open and keep the economy going and people die or shut everything down, violate the constitution, destroy the economy and people die anyway?

    Not so much of a difficult choice., 

    PS: Sure about those numbers?   A month ago no one was being tested for Corona, now everyone with the sniffles is being tested.  What a surprise the more you test the more you find.  When any where from 50%-86% of "victims" show ZERO symptoms, how do you know how many case there are?   

     Correct.   Positive test results are not evidence of increased spreading.  Its evidence of “seek and you shall find”.

    So Murphy just said that the legislature is passing laws this week that underpin the EO's that were issued. So if you want to be pro-active about seeing what is going on beneath all of this, find out what laws they are passing that reinforce those EO's.

    State law doesn’t overrule the us constitution.  They can try.... but they will ultimately lose.

    Is there some reason there has to be a roof over the FFL guy’s head while he processes a sale?  Or hands you a cased, legally purchased firearm?  I suppose if there’s language in some state rule about being on premise it would be a problem. But in reality, It could be permitted pretty easily.  All the state would need to do is allow the processing and transfer to take place with 50 feet of the FFLs customer entrance and firearms be cased while being transferred.

    Though the reason for doing this in the first place is dumb.  There’s no reason not to do it all in the store/home FFL.  Wear a mask... wash your hands before and after. Same as everything we we do at the moment.

    just came back from wallyworld. no tp at all. no paper towels at all. very low on milk, very low on eggs and water. most food isles half empty, when normally overflowing. most meat products gone. 

     

     this dam well better not be a real new normal. 

    Walmart sucks at restocking in normal times.

    Maybe find a Shop Rite. Ours is pretty well stocked on most things. Intermittent paper products.  Zero OJ lately though.  Some frozen stuff a bit light.  But they had a bunch of hand sanitizer refills on Friday.  Looked like a brand that started making it last week...

    Oh..and for whatever reason, we have a hard time finding Arnold Palmer iced tea-lemonade anywhere.
