@Sniper - I see posters asking reasonable questions/making reasonable points, and in a reasonable tone, and then I see you responding with condescension and insults. Get out of fight mode, pls. Walk away from the keyboard. Go walk your dog... or have a glass of port. Come back when you're less belligerant. This is a community. Let's be civil.

I'm usually not big on lawsuits, but this guy should own the town when he's done.

Sniper knows everything. At least in his own mind. Saying I don't know or I was mistaken is deeply threatening to his psyche. In case you haven't noticed.

What color is the boathouse at Hereford?

That's a knockout punch right there. Stay down, Chelsea. Stay down. Check out the other replies. She is being torn a new anus.

I think by 'add-on", most people think the popo looks the other way, unless there is a more serious crime afoot, then they add the charge on, which may have occurred here and the real crime could not be proven, ie Al Capone. ETA: To be clear, these were not hollow-points and the popo be wrong.

should arrest and fire the cop.

I heard about the two strains yesterday from Chris Martenson. Great daily videos detailing specific by the way. No panic, just the details. I'm reading more about those strains today. If you catch S (It's just the flu bro). If you catch L, it's worse. We will probably start to hear which strains are where.

You say that like everyone should already know that, and yet, you demonstrably didn’t. You couldn’t figure out that these variables would make people react differently to a similar crisis based on where they were from. You thought people in the UK, or Canada, or the Antipodes (wherever this photo was actually taken) would react the same as Americans when faced with this international health crisis. You thought that it would be acceptable to post photos of another country and try to pass it off as America - Because we all panic the same... Well, which is it? Does it not matter because we all panic the same way? Or does a people’s specific environmental and societal situation affect how the react in a crisis? You can’t have it both ways...

Absolutely they do. Different cultures, different geographic locations, different infrastructure, different media, different emergency response capabilities, different healthcare systems and capabilities, just to name a few... These factors all play into how a population will react when faced with a crisis. The fact that you don’t understand that is frightening.

If you don't know where they were taken, "I don't know" is a perfectly acceptable answer. If you do know, saying where the photos you posted were taken is also a perfectly acceptable answer. If you do know, but don't want to tell us, that's odd...but enjoy keeping your little secret.

If the panic buying is in another freakin’ country? I’d say - Yes.

Context matters. Where were those Costco pictures taken?

You didn't know about the three sea shells?

LLC came thru today. I'm an actual "business". Kinda weird for me, honestly. I never thought I'd get here. LLC fee - 304 + 75 Grand total so far - 389

I think Alex loves his camera time!

Everyone should just block him. That way he can essentially insult himself. Works for me. The forum is a much better place minus his crap.

Exactly right. That was a big factor in the development of both vaccines and treatments for ebola. Groups would develop an idea to the point where it was working well in the lab, go into small scale production in advance of clinical trials...and then entire years would go by during which no human on earth contracted ebola. Great news overall, but it sure derails a clinical program.

How do you even have clinical trials for a disease that already "ran its course" The idea that money was a factor is true, but even if they had the money for SARS, they would have no one to test the vaccine on.. The article reads like we're some how supposed to do something different... but even if we developed a SARS vaccine, we would have to at the very least modify it.. which is what I was reading a few days ago is exactly what they are doing now. This is a ploy for these people to get more funding, this has nothing to do with a proverbial "hand tied behind your back" bullshyt.. We will always be behind the curve when it comes to disease... which is why early detection is the greatest tool. If this guy really believes that his vaccine could be use for the new strain... then why isnt it in clinicals if he claims to have developed it?

Update - Federal district court Judge has stated that NJ's red flag law violates the 4th amendment:

I've added my comments in bold, to a few of the points I've underlined in the linked article. Scientists in Texas had developed a vaccine to protect against a deadly strain of coronavirus four years ago, but were forced to stop work on it because they didn’t have enough money to test it on humans, NBC Newsis reporting. The vaccine was developed in 2016, more than a decade after the viral disease SARS had killed more than 770 people in China. The disease was an earlier coronavirus similar to the one now impacting the globe. “We tried like heck to see if we could get investors or grants to move this into the clinic," said Peter Hotez, co-director of the Center for Vaccine Development at Texas Children's Hospital. "But we just could not generate much interest." It's hard to generate interest or attract funding for a potential vaccine to a disease that had largely run its' course a decade earlier. Yes, it would be nice to have a vaccine stockpiled in case SARS comes roaring back, but given the enormous costs of clinical trials, I can understand why funding didn't materialize. I suspect a lot of those dollars ended up going to MERS and Ebola vaccine research instead, once they became the larger threats. “We could have had this ready to go and been testing the vaccine's efficacy at the start of this new outbreak in China," said Hotez, who is convinced the vaccine could provide cross-protection against the new coronavirus. Maybe it would provide cross-protection. Certainly one would test for it, and I'd hope they are doing exactly that with the remaining stocks they said they have frozen. But the immune system is exquisitely selective, and cross-protection is the exception, rather than the rule. You don't see it with flu vaccines, and it is why we've never had a cold vaccine. "It's tragic that we won't have a vaccine ready for this epidemic," Hotez said. "Practically speaking, we'll be fighting these outbreaks with one hand tied behind our backs." Sadly true, though I don't know how one could ever have a vaccine ready at the outset of an epidemic caused by a previously-unknown organism. Best one can do is be ready to quickly start up a research and development effort to attack the new threat.

it's not an add on, it's a crime.

Sure you can. You just punch out of reality, ignore what was posted, and make shit up. Hence why he says I never back my stuff up with citations. Completely ignoring the many times I have, and even when I counter what he just posted with what is actually in his own damn links. He will double down on a mistake to the end of days. Lots of things appear to work. The problem is most people don't apply disinfectants properly. Most of them you have to go on wet and leave it there for at least 3 minutes. Which is not what most people do.

Sure!

So much for the saying " hollow points" are an add on charge. Not that these are considered hollow points by new jersikstan laws.

uuuuuuuuummmmmmmmm - There is no boathouse at Hereford......... I have grown to hate Deniro - but I will always love this movie -

Buy Toyota, no headaches.

What an egregious abuse of power and violation of his(and our) rights. There is a GoFundMe page and I am certainly inclined to donate.

Where were those Costco pictures taken? Top one shows 'Tyre Center'. I don't recall Costco using that spelling domestically.

No.....Just a bunch of liberals who rely on CNN, MSNBC and facebook and other MSM for their news! Look closely, Not a single person in those pictures listens to Rush, Shawn, mark Levin or our President! They are the misinformed liberal lemmings and thus act stupidly!

Sure we are! Stop watching CNN and MSNBC and you will be fine in no time! Those who trust solely in the MSM and facebook for their news deserve to be in full panic mode!

We're not in a typical situation.

Um....no. The difference is those who are on the conservative side abhor this nonsense. And the Statue of Liberty? In case you've missed it, the Left has been pulling-down statues, attempting to re-write history, for several years now. The view from the NYC ivory tower depicted in the New Yorker has been 'celebrated' for years...and is as accurate now as it was in 1976. You really do need to get out more.

Actually, you might be too narrowly construing my comments which were quite specific to Federal buildings. Federal buildings, I believe, should present a certain classic image. And though I actually respect architects' needs to "push the boundaries" on design, as you yourself have pointed out, that sometimes results in leaking roofs and other unintended fallout. And, I think it's wrong to put taxpayers on the hook for all of that. Let the private sector be the arena for the truly novel approaches in design and materials.

I hate commas.... Wharton...

The whole process is put in place to discourage law-abiding American citizens from exercising our Constitutional protected rights. The background checks I understand but the rest, the FID, the pistol permits are pointless. But its the govt, so it shouldnt surprise anyone.

Monmouth County did: https://sanctuarycounties.com/2020/02/27/monmouth-county-nj-passes-second-amendment-resolution/

I like how Sig shows you where to drill a hole through the magazine to "free" it up.

This part above is very true. I fully admit, I cringe when I see those dogs and cats about to be slaughtered - it makes me feel absolutely sick. That said (and I know this won't be popular to say)… but there are Hindus in India and other countries who believe cows are sacred and would think we Americans are absolute savages as we chomp down on our steak dinners. (And I admit, even I swore off veal when I was a teenager after I learned how they were raised... it really is barbaric. I haven't eaten it since. Not as a political statement... it's just that I can't enjoy it! But, I'm also not going to freak out if someone at my table orders a veal dish. Each to their own). So much of this is about income level, too. It's easy in a stable, 1st world country with a plentiful food supply to judge, and to say: "I won't eat this... or that" because you're not wildly poor, scratching out a meager existence, and staying one small step ahead of starvation.

More people have died from the flu in the US alone: "At least 14,000 people have died and 250,000 have already been hospitalized during the 2019-2020 flu season. More than 26 million Americans have fallen ill with flu-like symptoms.” CDC Feb 21, 2020 than the Caronavirus has killed worldwide: "As of February 23, 2020, there were 76,936 reported cases in mainland China and 1,875 cases in locations outside mainland China (1). There have been 2,462 associated deaths worldwide" CDC Feb 23, 2020 Get a flu shot. Wash your hands. Turn off the news. That’s not to say you should have a couple weeks worth of supplies on hand. Anything can happen to disrupt a supply again. But the Caronavirus nonsense is ridiculous!

Old bridge. I was thinking my last round would be slower because the lady in the records department retired, but the new person is just as fast. she stated they try and get them done quickly. I have applied so much over the last 8 years I wouldn’t be shocked if mine are getting fast tracked or something. I have other friends in old bridge that get them just as fast, and others that are slower.
