  1. It’s the same thing as the red light cameras. They can’t actually prove beyond a reasonable doubt the criminal offense since they can’t show who is driving the car. So anything going back to “well the car registered to you did this” would have to be civil.

    Similar to this, they take your lack of challenging it in requesting a hearing as liability. Definitely very tenuous but also possible to end up a huge pain in the ass.

    No, I think @TXSooner518 is the lawyer that has worked with municipal Texas traffic courts, and provided good insight/advice in years past. But I may be getting my worthless Sooners/Lawyers mixed up.

    Close, JP courts, but thanks for the shout, good recall! As others have mentioned, a sworn complaint must be filed within 2 years of the offense for a misdemeanor criminal offense to not be outside the statute of limitations. But they aren't trying to pursue criminal charges, this is a civil debt (as it states, she can't go to jail or have it go on her driving record, etc.). There are statutes of limitations for civil causes of action as well. I don't know how a court would classify this cause of action, but the general statute of limitations for debt is 4 years in Texas.

    Don't reply at all, just toss it. I thought I read somewhere that if you get in contact it may reset some sort of collection timer in their system so they keep trying instead of abandoning the collection sooner. (This is based on random shit I read on Google, so it is worth less than you paid for it and may have come out of my ass after coming out of someone else's ass first.)

    "Dealings between the parties" can reset the statute of limitations in debt collection cases. There is argument over whether simple communications count (most courts say no). Definitely any payment counts, which is why debt collectors love the "Pay $20 just to show you're serious about your obligations" tactic since it resets the clock. 

     

    The options are: Ignore it, which they will take as an admission of liability, and will create a civil debt which they will potentially attempt to collect, creating hassle, but also potentially will just go away.  Or request the hearing as they offer and state that facts and evidence are lost due to the pursuit of this 6 years after the fact, more than triple the misdemeanor statute of limitations for the same conduct, and more than 2 years after a debt can legally be sued for.  I have no familiarity with this company or these hearings, so have no idea which path is better.

  3. Fattie: Guns don’t just kill people on their own!

    Reality:



    Because you and yours advance the idea that a loaded gun brought to graduation is a normal brain thing to do.

  4. Aside from him being off by up to 12 months in his example, yes, that is the current status of our laws.    Does it make sense, I'm ok with letting someone you'll send to war have access to a firearm to hunt or protect themselves at home, yes. 

    Wasn’t off by any months. She is currently 15. We have been working on the requirements for a permit and DL over the last 8 months, you know, since public safety concerns dictate that a car operator be safe.

    When she turns 16, having complied with all of these requirements, then she can drive a car. 24 months to the day from that day she can buy an AR-15 with zero licensure, registration, or training.

    And we weren’t only discussing whether she should be able to have one at all but why there is no requirement for supervision, registration, insurance, training, or licensure when an AR-15 is orders of magnitude more dangerous than a car. And not only that, but the cunts that you and yours put into power like Abbott, BRAG about this fact.

  5. Picture got borked somehow but hit up Distant Relatives yesterday for the first time. Got the smoked chicken thigh with chili sauce, the spicy dry rub ribs, the pulled pork with tamarind molasses sauce, and the brisket with smoked butter mustard sauce. Everything was very good and the sauces were interesting. I really enjoyed the rub and flavor of the chicken thigh probably the most. Solid 8/10, worth hitting up for sure, not on the tippy top tier IMO. 

    The setup at Meanwhile with the food trucks was cool and I had a pineapple hefeweizen beer from Meanwhile that was very tasty and refreshing.

    In my experience, usually they'll refund half your green fee and call it good but you have to ask - they won't be proactive with it. 

    If you feel like you had $100 stolen, rough math says this is a $200 round? If so, I'd say it's even more likely they would have refunded if you pushed back. Goat tracks would probably tell you to pound sand but a $200/round place would hopefully care more.

    It was about $100. I get the idea that I got 8 holes of value, but truly the two most important things to me were to post a score and to get another round of data with my Arccos system. Those both got totally ruined, and for no reason. If they had offered up front "hey pay $25 and we will let you play 8 holes with 3 strangers while waiting on another group" I would have easily declined, much less paying $45 for that privilege, much less paying $100 for that privilege along with a $55 voucher the next time I want to drive 300 miles round trip for golf. I do also understand that my preferences aren't their responsibility, but when they randomly decide to close a golf course despite hours of daylight available, there was no way I could anticipate/plan for that.

    They didn’t give $ back, but rather a rain check towards a future round. Fine if you live there, but a poor customer experience if you’re just traveling through. I’d email the GM and ask for a reconsideration for a visitor like you. A smart GM will correct it.

    Yeah, exactly. In addition to the problem of this being a wasted time/money, the "value" I get is basically worthless. I have to drive 300 miles round trip to not even get a free round, and not even half off if I play on a weekend. 

    Basically the prorated rain check would have been annoying either way, but the fact that I could have gotten everything I paid for easily and was denied that opportunity AND denied any real compensation just pissed me off pretty badly. 

  7. Was +8 through 8 trying for my 4th straight round around 90, working hard to lower my handicap. Playing pretty well, playing tees a bit further back than I normally would. Had a gross triple where I hit a sprinkler head with a beautiful 7 iron approach that went flying into junk and then my pitch stopped riiiiight before a big downslope which would have taken it down to the flag and I 3-putted.

    Lightning moves in and they blow the horn.

    At about 4:45 (sunset just after 😎 they announce they are closing the course. Very little rain had fallen on the course, so no conditions issues (there had def been lightning, I don't fault the hrn). Radar and forecasts indicate everything should be clear about 5:15-5:30.

    I had played 8 holes, so I get a prorated 10 hole rain check at the weekday rate. I live 150 miles from the course so that's really not helpful/valuable. The other players who were around were all locals/members so no big deal to any of them. I get not wanting to have staff stay for one guy, but at least help me out with some actual value? Was I wrong to be super steamed about this? I feel like I had $100 stolen from me, and never would have teed off if I thought them closing the course after 0.1" of rain and still hours of daylight left was a possible option, never had that happen before.

  8. The sauce was really good and complemented the other flavors really well. It's on the sweeter side and definitely has some Asian influence, but it isn't like a hoisin sauce or anything like that. The brisket and rice comes with it on there, so if anyone thinks they wouldn't want that, know that going in. But the flavors really work well together, especially with some of their house-made onions and jalapenos (which have a bit of soy sauce to them) mixed in also.

  10. I'm driving to Galveston for work Monday and back Wednesday.  Hitting Brisket & Rice Wednesday.  Any place from Austin to Galveston open and worth hitting on a Monday?

  11. Both plays were fine imo. I don’t do the AA UTG limp play myself but it can be quite effective at low stakes where there are a few always-aggro players. Risk is of course that everyone else limps too and you’re pretty much just set mining with rockets at that point and stand to lose a big pot by overplaying them post flop.

    Suited Q opener on button is proper in normal game with no straddle. May be edge with double straddle, though I like your sizing to cover that additional risk

    Was Q4o not suited, I def hate doing that to win blinds in a small stakes game where people aren’t going to fold often enough and we have literally one of the worst hands in the deck for how it flops. Agree Q4s, J9o, 86s etc obv fine.
  12. Yeah all the dipshit rural red yokels who don't live within 50 miles of a non-white person all buy their guns because of crime in the inner cities and not because they are cave-brained needledicks.

  13. Each room has different caps for different stakes. I think Bellagio actually has a $300 cap for 1/3. It would be good to have extra money on hand to top up to 300 if you lose some money, or another buyin in case you get stacked of course. Some rooms have a "match the biggest stack" or "match 80% of the biggest stack" buyin rule, but I don't think the B does, but not positive. 

    Lots of people will buy more than $300 in chips when you check in and just have the extra in $25 chips in your pocket to add (only between hands and only if it doesn't take you over $300).

  14. he mucked. no idea what he had. chances he had an 8 are a lot higher than most players(5%).
    .....more than likely he had complete air. 

    You showed when you called? Or he mucked before seeing your hand. No chance he shoves an 8 then mucks it without seeing.

  15. Really important for you to consider stack sizes. If you just call, the pot is $400+ and he just has $300 left behind. You’ll be burning money if you fold on any flop, as paying $300 to win $1000 just needs 30% to win. He’s going to have that in bluffs alone.

    Rather, you’ve got a monster preflop and you want him all in before he has a chance to miss a flop and fold. As noted above, you’re getting it all in no matter what, so do it now.

    This. Plus you should never reverse engineer your strategy for what your opponents specific holding was. For every time we execute the “fold QQ to AK when A or K flops” plan we also execute the “fold QQ to JJ who jams the K94 flop bc the pot is huge” or the “lose out on stacking JJ bc they fold an A94 flop when they would have called off pre” plan.

  16. From It Gets Easier: “You can't expect her to follow your lead
    She's fine with wine and her weed”

    Watched the doc and loved it. See they used this line in the doc so more of a “no shit” post by me sorry about that! I think it was just something I had internalized from that song but probably you haven’t sat and listened to Reunions much since it isn’t your fave.
  17. Doc is fantastic.  A few thoughts:

    -They didn’t go over the top on it, but they very clearly pointed out that Shires isn’t a tee totaller.  For as big of a part as sobriety and recovery are in who Isbell has become, that surprised me a little, but also came off as a testament to his strength and commitment to his recovery.

  18. This has been paid out, with 50% going to Surly posters (Driskill through Derka) and 50% going to people I know (a lifelong friend and my brother).  

    254 was the winning score.  Best possible score was 390, so lots of missed opportunities for everyone. See ya next year!

  20. Trying to think of a worse line with $150 in front first to act holding 9h9x on 77583hhhh than "bet $100, call off the rest" but can't do it. 

    I would also just jam your A6ss on flop if you're calling off a jam anyway, we would definitely prefer to maximize fold equity rather than have someone spazz with middle pair trying to get us to fold something like 99. But it worked out!  Nice sessions!

  21. Can we please have him arrested by the absolute meatheadiest, steroid-ridden, "STOP RESISTING" cops we can find? I'd definitely pay four figures to watch him just get bludgeoned ruthlessly about the head, neck, torso, and shoulders, tazed, and other assorted fun.
