  1. Like I said. We have differing opinions.
  2. Depends on the severity. It's up to the judge. Personally, I would be far more severe with someone in whom the public placed the trust that was violated than your average citizen.
  3. I want him in jail pending trial.
  4. I guess we just have different opinions on what is acceptable.
  5. Yeah, "seriously". You act like this is an isolated incident and the guy should be thankful an environment exists where he can be deprived of liberty at will.
  6. Yeah. He was only kidnapped for a little while.
  7. I'm in pretty much the same boat. 🚣. I'm absolutely amazed at how polarized politics has become. I didn't vote for Trump in the primary, but voted for him over Hillary. I don't care for him or his tactics, but his policies are similar to my own and much better than his opponents. The left is doing the same thing. I can't believe Biden is going to get the nomination. This lockdown is the best thing that could have happened to him. Once again this fall I'll be faced with voting for a man who I don't personally like but who's policies I largely support or voting for someone who seems incompetent and incompatible with my beliefs.
  8. I was joking.
  9. My son's new "thing" is to call his parents into repentance. "Dad, do you think Heavenly Father would like that?" "Mom, should you be on your phone during General Conference?" I appreciate the reminder, and it shows that kids are always watching and learning, but I don't know if I should just lock the little narc in his room until this quarantine is over.
  10. I have a small farm myself with animals and veggies, but I honestly don't know what grows in Utah.
  11. Yeah. My wife has been out of work for 3 weeks.
  12. Well, I lived in a fraternity house in college, so.....
  13. In a free market if there is a demand, and a dollar to be made, there will typically be a supply.
  14. I'll keep you in my thoughts. My wife is out of work because of this as well.
  15. Any erosion of liberty is horrible.
  16. Can't trick me, PoPo!
  17. No. I'm on a well so storage is directly in my feed line. It's constantly refreshed. If worse comes to worse, I have a deep well piston that I can hand pump with, too. If it gets worse than worse, I have a life filter good for about 3 years for a family of four and a beaver pond out back. They say you should have 1 gallon per person per day. If you have a 55 gallon drum, and it's clean, you put can tap water in it with no treatment. You should just rotate it every so often. To purify water, they suggest 1/4 teaspoon of bleach per gallon, then let it sit before drinking it. To pre-treat water so you don't have to rotate as often, they say 1/8 teaspoon per gallon. Treating with bleach typically means your water will smell and taste like bleach. I suppose that's better than smelling and tasting like death. Personally, if I wanted to store 55 gallons of water all the time "just in case" I'd probably not treat it, sterilize the storage, then rotate it more often. You can always boil before use if needed. If you're paying for city water/sewage, that will be extra. You could always fill it to get through this crisis, then look for inline storage after. I chose my home to avoid all that, though.
  18. "Because the Australian Federal Police, the Australian Border Force, New South Wales Police, Victorian Police and elsewhere are onto this at the moment, and this is part of our demand problems. "We will come down like a tonne of bricks on those individuals." Mr Dutton said anyone who has photos, car registration details or any other evidence of people acting in such a way to contact Crimestoppers. Incidentally, Minister Dutton has been in hospital for about the last ten days with corona virus. Doesn't apply to me. My preps were in place LONG before this boogaloo.
  19. Not my little corner of it.
  20. They said not to bother bringing my two in for testing unless I really wanted to.
  21. Sister Grunt is down. Twin Grunt #1 and I are taking bets on who will be the last man standing. I'm pretty confident my odds are good.
  22. We are having home sacrament.
  23. Right now he's outside boiling Maple sap. He's not on his death bed yet. Thanks, though.
  24. Military just cancelled all domestic travel and some of us are now in a "work remote" status. I have one kid at home with a fever and sore throat.
  25. We had three people sent home because they were sick. The rest of us are still showing up. We are starting a pool to see who the last person standing is.
