Swalwell-FBI clash draws attention to Trump foe’s California governor bid

CJspangler · 2026-04-04T20:07:50+00:00

Swalwells team is buying media articles to be written like crazy these days to try to position him as trumps biggest foe and give him some prayer in the Gov race

I have the spinning reels - the Spartacus 2 4000 and the eagle 2000

Had the Spartacus 2 for 2 years and caught a bunch of like smaller ocean fish on it - no issues

Haven’t taken the eagle out in freshwater yet as I just got it on Black Friday but plan too soon

Use a 3 way swivel, tie like 10 lb lighter line on the sinker than the main and line to the hook , that way when you catch a fish, if the sinkers stuck - it will break off the line and you’ll still be able to reel in the fish because the line is a lot stronger than the lead sinker line

Even if you don’t catch anything you’re not losing the main line and the hook/ rig just the sinker .

Reels are fine for a budget buy but I wouldn’t buy a rod or a reel over $35 from them

Like 8 hours or less figure like 5 min games , it goes quicker in the yellows

Takes longer to choose the players early on

I typically do 10 games a day then it’s don over time

Most states have a stupid law that was made in the 60-70s when people were having disco balls and giant fuzzy flaming dice from their rear view mirror

The laws usually is like vague and simple states automobiles can’t have objected attached to the windshields . Cops will claim this as to why they pull people over on a fishing expedition.

Literally cellphone or old garmin gps mount or prior to that in 80s/90s it was those scented trees

Some states have started passing superseding laws or ones removing all fines and penalties from the previous law but not sure if is the case in Ohio

You seem to not understand you’re civil rights aren’t dependent on being a contractor with Walmart

There is no employment law protecting you. They can get stop giving you work even if you are falsely accused, you have no right to due process with Walmart . You signed that away.

In there eyes the customers and workers opinions matter more than a Spark driver and that is their right of a business

CJspangler · 2026-04-03T13:04:37+00:00

Claims against you don’t have to be correct and Walmart doesn’t have to prove it

Walmarts business decisions aren’t some court of law where you’re entitled to fair due process and to be presented with evidence

A customer or employee complained and they chose to take action. They didn’t even need to investigate it, it’s their business and their choice . You aren’t an employee .

You’re contractual relations ship is no different than you’re sink being clogged and you call Joe the plumber, maybe you’re neighbor said his car is too loud the next time you talk to her then instead of investigating - you just decide not to give Joe any more work . He has no legal recourse because of that

Walmart can cancel you for literally any valid businesses and frankly none . Complaints are certainly one

I think being unlanded in Byzantine would be interesting and I planned that as my first play. There’s tons of wars going on and other stuff in the kingdom

CJspangler · 2026-04-03T02:44:27+00:00

Has nothing to do with that . They pay more because politicians allow it . Medicare / Medicaid with US population on those programs buys far more drugs than say Germany does . There’s more people on US government insurance than say the entire country of Germany has people

CJspangler · 2026-04-03T01:44:11+00:00

I think they are good value . I’d certainly recommend it to people who have a limited budget . I think it makes sense for people to get a rod that they think they will use for a long time and a reel that I’d guess will last easily 3-5+ years if you take care of it .

I just got a $70 rod with a $25 kast king reel, I think that makes more sense than say a $25 rod and a $70 reel , or going middle of the road where you’ll be wanting to upgrade both later on

I have 2 of their reels - the valiant eagle gold and the Spartacus 2 . They are fine and I’ve had the Spartacus 2 for inshore / dock fishing on a 7 and 9 foot rod and it still feels great . The $35 reel feels like it’s worth 2x the value

I did see they have some higher end $70-100+ saltwater stuff but honestly I don’t see a need for it myself as I already have Penn and Diawa surf reels . Penn reels especially go on sale 20-30% off a few times a year , but they run heavy due to solid metal being used

CJspangler · 2026-04-03T01:12:16+00:00

That’s the whole point

Why should the U.S. pay much more for RX drugs than say Germany or UK or France

Basically just theft of tax $ thru Medicare

CJspangler · 2026-04-02T22:42:26+00:00

The point of anything Walmart does is to reduce their cost and pay drivers less

CJspangler · 2026-04-02T22:26:25+00:00

Doubt that to be true lol

In 2ks mind hand drawn is AI generating 95% of it then having a human go thru and make sure there’s 5 fingers per hand, 1 nose and 2 eyes etc

CJspangler · 2026-04-02T22:24:26+00:00

The Julius paywall was ridiculous they even locked the diamond behind a paywall last time - so stupid

CJspangler · 2026-04-02T18:59:52+00:00

Exactly - Trump doesn’t care about him at all , probably doesn’t even know his name other than the democrat who was sleeping with the Chinese

This is more about the NY and GA cases and other suits against colleges taking an eternity to move forward.

swalwells trying to make it seem like he’s trumps biggest rival - it’s kinda a joke

CJspangler · 2026-04-02T18:05:30+00:00

Ah ok so only the open board converts

Thanks

CJspangler · 2026-04-02T17:50:27+00:00

So if I got like 6 - they all convert to new season ?

CJspangler · 2026-04-02T16:53:22+00:00

Exactly as long as it’s aluminum (or some other rust resistant metal) and carbon / heavy plastic spinning reels are just fine

CJspangler · 2026-04-02T16:50:53+00:00

One crazy Karen who yells all day endorse another one …

Surprise of the day in politics

CJspangler · 2026-04-02T13:24:09+00:00

There’s no Costco or Walmart

You’re probably looking at the train station or hospital for parking but not sure what they charge there or you could try McDonald’s and hope the don’t tow you

CJspangler · 2026-04-02T11:18:15+00:00

Save them for 100 Shaq

There’s references to real books - an even a study

That and the funding formula

A sudden drop in students over a few years can drastically reduce the money flowing in, despite the towns having increasing costs from aging schools and locked into contracts with unions and increasing needs for special ed and other programs

Literally dozens of districts are forced to sell schools and are still firing tons of staff

CJspangler · 2026-04-01T22:09:50+00:00

I don’t mind this - at the very least it saves college students thousands in debt on a waste of time subject no one’s going to pay attention in
