  1. Bad cat King snake is good snek, did she kill it?
  2. I’ve stayed at both. It lives up to its reputation as one of the best hotels in the world. did you whitewater raft the Sarapiqui while you were in Arenal? Zip line the volcano?
  3. Youth Rem 870 in 20 is where my boy started around 10. I think the pain and the pump makes for a better shooter than an autoloader. Outgrowed it quick. It's now got a red light hair-banded to the barrel and fills the role of yard sweeper in nighttime counter-armadillo ops.
  4. I started watching this one evening, alone, on the sofa in the middle of the room, in the dark. I finished watching it with all the lights on, in a chair that backs up against the wall, and with my Glock 26 within arm's reach.
  5. some of the shooters around here draw dicks on their targets they're the ones you gotta watch out for
  6. Maybe you’re not worried about it because it’s not something you’ve thought about.
  7. Played Phoenician and We-Ko-Pa Saguaro last week. Phoenician is a really nice course but We-Ko-Pa is on another level. I can’t wait to get back and play their Cholla course. white ball is mine, 2nd shot
  8. It’ll slow down midweek. try the Palms Cafe on the beach
  9. I've been on hold for 20+ minutes, waiting my turn, still 20 minutes to go
  10. Same, what's the deal? I logged in right after I got the email. Sold out?
  11. I've had Travis County judges grant these, based on the T.S.N. case, even demanded DPS attorneys appear to argue it, of course they still don't show up....I made a hell of an appellate record that day and DPS did not appeal. There's caselaw out there, with no record, much easier for DPS to restricted appeal. With a record properly made, they're fucked on the standard of review.
  12. This. Caniglia has nothing to do with red flag laws. But we have had some big cases come down in the last week with Caniglia addressing "community caretaking" function in the context of residences; Edwards v. Vanoy holding that Ramos v. Louisiana (state criminal jury trials must be unanimous) does not apply retroactively; and finally, the Texas Supreme Court's holding in Ex parte RPGP, that expunction eligibility for misdemeanor charges is offense based, not arrest based, as all the courts of appeals have previously held, meaning if a person is arrested for misdemeanor A, B, and C, and A and B are dismissed, the defendant can have records relating to A and B expunged. The law used to be that if you were arrested for 100 charges, and you pled to 1, and 99 were dismissed, you were ineligible for an expunction of anything. I like the facts of Caniglia, we've all been there at one time or another. During an argument with his wife, petitioner Edward Caniglia placed a handgun on the dining room table and asked his wife to “shoot [him] and get it over with.” His wife instead left the home and spent the night at a hotel. The next morning, she was unable to reach her husband by phone, so she called the police to request a welfare check. The responding officers accompanied Caniglia’s wife to the home, where they encountered Caniglia on the porch. The officers called an ambulance based on the belief that Caniglia posed a risk to himself or others. Caniglia agreed to go to the hospital for a psychiatric evaluation on the condition that the officers not confiscate his firearms. But once Caniglia left, the officers located and seized his weapons. Caniglia sued, claiming that the officers had entered his home and seized him and his firearms without a warrant in violation of the Fourth Amendment. The District Court granted summary judgment to the officers. The First Circuit affirmed, extrapolating from the Court’s decision in Cady v. Dombrowski, 413 U. S. 433, a theory that the officers’ removal of Caniglia and his firearms from his home was justified by a “community caretaking exception” to the warrant requirement. Held: Neither the holding nor logic of Cady justifies such warrantless searches and seizures in the home. Cady held that a warrantless search of an impounded vehicle for an unsecured firearm did not violate the Fourth Amendment. In reaching this conclusion, the Court noted that the officers who patrol the “public highways” are often called to discharge noncriminal “community caretaking functions,” such as responding to disabled vehicles or investigating accidents. 413 U. S., at 441. But searches of vehicles and homes are constitutionally different, as the Cady opinion repeatedly stressed. Id., at 439, 440– 442. The very core of the Fourth Amendment’s guarantee is the right of a person to retreat into his or her home and “there be free from unreasonable governmental intrusion.” Florida v. Jardines, 569 U. S. 1, 6. A recognition of the existence of “community caretaking” tasks, like rendering aid to motorists in disabled vehicles, is not an open-ended license to perform them anywhere.
  13. I’ve been playing a bunch of singles no problem, in fact it is easier to get on the course. Since we’ve been vaxxed the wife and I have been flying wherever about every other week. Online tee times are often thru ezlinksgolf, set up an account and start booking, be sure to set your search for 1 person, they will default to 2 or 4. You can also call, I got on Sand Hollow in Utah the day of, see previous page. Next week we are going to Scottsdale and I’m playing We-Ko-Pa and the Phoenician while my wife gets her spa time. Also met some good dudes to play with.
  14. could someone PM me the speculation please, I'm out of the loop
  15. Arenal is amazing. Try the whitewater rafting and zip lining. Your hotel should have info.
  16. 7 touchdowns in game 1, @AGENT0__ wears 48. Book it. RIP 🤘 48
  17. Headed to Phoenix soon....We-Ko-Pa Saguaro course or Troon North?
  18. I drove a 260 yard par 4 to 3 feet. Don’t ask me about the putt.
  19. Not true about the "know how" BS. It's a reptile. Not a chimpanzee. Larger pit viper = more venom = more damage. Also not true. But it is true they are not aggressive. In fact they are less aggressive then most snakes, venomous or not. I've carefully picked up a coral snake barehanded. I have not picked up any pit vipers. No surprise they are not experts Pit vipers have elliptical pupils, but in the dark, they expand and they appear round. Coral snakes have round pupils. Some mildly venomous snakes have elliptical pupils. Some mildly venomous snakes have round pupils. Pupil size is a tool for identification. But it is just one tool and it is not foolproof. Hard to be 100 from the picture but I think those might be patchnose snakes which eat other snakes and reptiles.
  20. I played Sand Hollow in St. George Utah last week. What a course. The views are unbelievable.
  21. I just surly detectived this personally recently The Grotto is a very busy shuttle serviced stop with multiple popular trails in multiple directions. It is the busiest stop in the park for hikers The one she was found near is close to the road. Shuttles drive up and down the road all day. In a canyon, sound travels. You can clearly hear the shuttles, and people, at a distance. Typically Zion is packed with hikers. Last year over 4 million people visited the park. Unless you are a goat, you’re not hiking out of the canyon. The river and the road run right down the middle. You can’t not see where you are with 2000 foot cliffs above you. Between them, at the lowest point, is the river, and the river is next to the road. You can’t be at the river and not see the road. Signs all over warn you about the river. And finally, there is a water station at the Grotto, I used it. Same for the Lodge stop just to the south, except there’s actually a hotel there. You could walk from one stop to the next in about 10 minutes. No way could you consider where she was as off trail or backcountry. This is high desert scrub, not a jungle in ‘Nam. It ain’t that hard to see.
  22. How the fuck does someone kill someone and get convicted of 3 different homicides? Does the Double Jeopardy clause apply in that state? The second-degree unintentional murder charge alleges Chauvin caused Floyd's death "without intent" while committing or attempting to commit felony third-degree assault. In turn, third-degree assault is defined as the intentional infliction of substantial bodily harm. The third-degree murder charge alleges Chauvin caused Floyd's death by "perpetrating an act eminently dangerous to others and evincing a depraved mind, without regard for human life." The second-degree manslaughter charge alleges Chauvin caused Floyd's death by "culpable negligence whereby the person creates an unreasonable risk, and consciously takes chances of causing death or great bodily harm."
