  1. You mean like MT Greene owning stock in the vax companies?
  2. hah, hah, hah.....Ivan poo-poo'd the whole thing. (as he told woodward) Remember: "Hong-Kong flu will disappear by May." Ivan tried to take credit for vax & got boo'd at his own rally. This is too plitical!
  3. So what medicine is 100% effective and has no side-effects or risks for all persons? When vax came out, it was clearly stated that they were only 80-90% effective for serious infection. They claimed nothing about transmission. Masks have been promoted from the first as the foremost means to reduce transmission, although not 100%. When I got my 1st shot (well over a year ago), they had me fill out a questionaire about previous medical history. They also gave me a 3 page pamplet explaining possible effects and warnings about the shot. I also had to sign a document that I understood all the previous documentation. There was a 4th document regarding health ins/payment. On the 2nd shot, paperwork was a little less, but still had a page of the possible effects & warnings & another that I understood them. Payment was just to show my health card. When I got my booster, I had to fill out a health questionaire, read possible effects & warnings & sign the doc' that I understood. Bottom line: to say possible effects, warnings weren't publisized is capital BS. BTW, I did ask the right question. I l iked the way around answering it though, as we both know a super great majority of those deaths were un-vaxed. If you are against mandates, then fine. You don't have to like them. It's your right. (That also applies to taxes, speed limits, fishing regulations, noise ordinances and so on) Employers don't owe you anything except a renumeration for your labor/work. You have the right to seek other employment. You have the right to home-school your kids, You have the right to go to another store or restaurant. You can vote for somebody else. Go for it! You have those rights. BUT as a free country (1st amendment wise) I and the great majority on this site have to right to see through BS! Thanx Gator. I'm really tired of all this rt wng extremist & projectionist "stuff." HB2 - Glad she's feeling better! Happy New Year all!
  4. It certainly does if 21,000 of those 21749 deaths were un-vaxed. The fact that your "source" didn't mention vax/un-vaxed ratio for that claim makes me wonder about its' credibility.
  5. Great post however I missed the part where you said how many of the 21749 deaths during 2021 Nov 1-18Th were vaxed people vs not vaxed. care to clarify that?
  6. And the most interesting thing is that none of the windfarm people will talk about restricted zones. They simply sidestep it by saying USCG will be responsible for restricted zones AFTER they are built. These whole projects would be more "palatable" if they came out and said they suspect X number of meters away is a safe distance. Also, if they said how the zones are going to be marked. (At least on the "shipwreck" project on the East end, they came out and said wrecks would be marked and no fishing around them.) Some honesty right upfront would be nice. You'll notice, at least in the Genny, where submerged cables exist, there are all kinds of signs saying "No Anchorage" as a warning. I'm sure there are some cables marked on navigation maps up towards the islands also. BTW, your map doesn't show the underwater cables nor "step-up" house.
  7. In order to make your own lures, you have to find the parts: Happy New Year! Tom B. (LongLine)
  8. There currently are no restricted zones for US offshore windfarms, HOWEVER they can be set up by many different agencies for a variety of reasons. This article is interesting: https://docs.rwu.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1100&context=law_ma_seagrant In Belgium, fishermen have to stay 500 meters away from offshore wind farms. In UK, no restriction except during construction. (pgs 9-10) Article also suggests access will be restricted in US similar to oil platforms. i.e. no restriction in Louisana but stay 150 meters away in California. Another source said that Dominion's Coastal Virginia Offshore farm were required fishermen to stay 50 meters away from all construction sites, cranes, work boats & cables during its construction. Should be interesting as I can foresee ragboats zipping around them now for their Sunday morning regattas.
  9. I read this and panic-ed into running Malbytes & Norton!
  10. An MFG can set the price as the OP is finding out. The Sherman act doesn't apply in this case as he could still go buy another type of device with upgrade from a different MFG. It doesn't apply to the boat sale event either as the two dealers either received different pricing from the MFG (i.e: volume pricing) or are working on different OHs, margins, etc. Where the Sherman Act would apply is if these were the only boat dealers in the area and they got together and said that their boats must cost $X.
  11. A single manufacturer can set the price for their product. That's what capitalism is all about. A single manufacturere can sell their product to a distributor in NY at one price and to a distributor in Florida at another price. He can sell to a high volume distributor at one price and to a low volume distributor at another price. (That's tier pricing or incentive pricing & it's perfectly legal) Each distributor has a territory. Distributors very rarely cross territorial lines. (MFG will get PO'd & they do police that) Only the very largest retailers can buy direct from the large MFGs and they don't want to lose their pricing deals with the MFGs so they go by the MFGs sell price. It's when competing mfgs,, competing distributors, or competing retailers get together and set the price that it's price fixing. Price fixing is very hard to prove as there is generally no "paper" trail. When you search for a product, they generally ask you to pick a nearby store or enter your zip code. Surprise....they know what the product sells for in your area & that's what you get. Another surprise, even if you have you location hidden, or run a VPN, they still know where you are and what you searched for. (that's why you may get pop-ups 3 days later) BUT the funny thing is...they know the general area where you are just by clicking on the site! ("computer, browser, server talk", "IP exchange") It takes a couple seconds to load a site....why??....(It's not because of switching or relaying) .More & more criminals get caught every day that way. If you find a lower price than what most are advertising for, then check it out real well, it may be missing something. i.e a feature: a carrying case, a different connector, a different warranty, a different range etc,
  12. Hope you're feeling better soon. (Booster didn't bother me a bit.) 1st needle in my life that went into my left arm & didn't come out my right!)

  15. So if an electric boat sinks, do you get electricuted?
  16. So I have had a bunch of things checked on that site.....but I have never seen a box for Lake Ontario news. Do I need new glasses? BTW, thanx for posting thee link. Tom B. (LongLine)
  17. Interesting question. Big-O has aboutn18,960 sq km of surface area so a depth of 5 cm is approx 945,000,000 cu meters. Current outflow is 7960 cu meter/sec. so IF there was no inflow then it'd be gone in 33 hours. HOWEVER, Niagara is currently inflowing approx 6512 Cu meter/sec. Hence it'd be down in a little over 7 1/2 days. HOWEVER ( for 2nd time): The Genny is currently freaking roaring! I don't know what any of the other tribs are doing, so it'll probably be a little longer.
  18. Was 7620 m3/s. raised to 7960. They said lake came up 5 cm.
