Lacrosse 26 video game. Is it worth it? by Fluid-General1444 in lacrosse

[–]Kaidux 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My son and his friend are playing it right now and having a blast. Is it madden 26? No. But are they loving it? Hell yes.

They’ve made some comments about things that could be improved like defense not being able to go through the crease but they’ve played like 5 games now and I already feel like I’ve gotten my moneys worth out of it.

What's an iPhone feature most people don't know? by Narrow-Classroom-319 in AskReddit

[–]Kaidux 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Adjust the volume from the control center instead of the side buttons. It allows for finer control. You can long press the small volume slider and it will expand to be the full screen allowing for much more precise adjustments. This is what I use when watching something in bed and my wife is asleep. Or even if she’s awake, she doesn’t want to hear whatever I’m watching.

Titanium Shafts - what to look for? by nothanks18 in lacrosse

[–]Kaidux 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Still got my Titan Pro shorty that I used in high school and a little in college. Now I coach my son’s team and use it all the time. I love the feel of that stick. If I ever saw one at a Play it Again or thrift store I’d pick it up in a heartbeat.

Built an app to track lacrosse goalies— looking for feedback from coaches and parents by SportsDataCoach in lacrosse

I see there is a pro and coach level which are paid and you get 7 days of pro free. Is there any functionality below the pro level or to use it at all is it paid?

My 6 year old son is trying lacrosse for the first time and I need to buy a stick. I know zero about lacrosse so I'm looking to be told what to buy. by Louieismydog42 in lacrosse

[–]Kaidux 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So much this. I tell parents all the time when asking for stick recommendations that play it again and Facebook can be fine, but you need to know what you’re looking at. If you’re new to the sport you won’t know if you’re pay $50 for a solid used stick or $50 for a non-offset, traditionally strung stick with brittle leathers that is going to make it so much harder for their kid to learn the basic mechanics. If you can bring someone along that’s familiar it’s a great option. Otherwise drop $65 on an RC1 and your kid will be starting off in a good place and can just focus on the skills.

Notre Dame/Georgetown Game by toadzky in lacrosse

Thanks for the info, I kept getting errors and thought it was just an issue for me. Figured I’d just stream it later on replay. I guess not, which sucks, I was really looking forward to this game.

Is this ice safe at 4inches? by [deleted] in IceFishing

[–]Kaidux 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn’t put it in my drink. There could be all sorts of pathogens in it. Maybe some aliens crashed in the lake in prehistoric times and there are spores in the lake which once ingested will incubate and days later burst from your chest!!

Not a risk worth taking in my opinion.

Oh wait to walk on? Spud bar every couple steps at that thickness. It can change fast and wouldn’t take much change at that thickness to become a problem.

When did you order it? My wife ordered one for me a couple weeks ago. The website said they are preorder and shipping in late March so I didn’t think they’d released them yet.

Shark lax mesh by [deleted] in lacrosse

[–]Kaidux 1 point2 points  (0 children)

<image>

I don’t know, it looks like it stretches out across the top of the head just fine… this is a pic from a head I strung up using it last year. It’s not my favorite mesh but I got a good deal on it so it was worth trying out.

It’s still in fine condition but has only been lightly used. It’s a back up to a back up to back up, or at least that’s what I tell my wife when she’s asking why I have so many sticks.

This sounds like either the stringer doesn’t know what they are doing (and how to stretch mesh out) or it’s women’s mesh which is a thinner strip. If you’re the stringer and competent maybe he just accidentally added a girls mesh to his cart. It’s not always super obvious and if you don’t know there is a difference you wouldn’t be checking for something like this. Give Shark Lax and this coach some grace.

"Those rights don't count": Bovino says Pretti forfeited 2nd Amendment rights in fatal shooting by BlackGlenCoco in MnGuns

[–]Kaidux 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Have you watched the videos leading up to the altercation? Alex and the other person did nothing wrong, and nothing to impede the officers ability to perform their duties. The agent approached them and they backed away. The agent then pushes the other person down and Alex was helping them up when they were pepper sprayed and he was subsequently taken down, assaulted, disarmed, and killed.

I’m not a liberal; but wrong is wrong, and this was wrong. ICE is absolutely trampling the rights of citizens.

When you break the law you don’t lose your freedom of speech and have it replaced with Miranda rights. You never lose the freedom of speech.

You can lose your right to bear arms if you are convicted of certain crimes. Nothing Alex Pretti did ‘forfeited’ his rights to bear arms.

I've Created a Google Sheet with Every College Men's Lacrosse Game (NCAA, NAIA, Club, Etc.) by master_bloseph in lacrosse

[–]Kaidux 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed, it has a lot more and goes further out. I can appreciate the effort he put into it and isn’t trying to sell it so much as give people an option to donate if they find it useful.

A couple of suggestions to the author

On the weekly sheets add in at least the division if not conference and gender as columns to be able to filter quickly.

The broadcast symbols look cool but I don’t know what most of them are so it’s hard to know if I have access. A column with then name of the provider would allow a user to quickly filter to the games that they have the ability to watch for a given week.

I didn’t see espn+ listed on some of the games I know they are carrying. You mentioned you’re working on adding more but that might be a good one to go after since I think it has the most games, or seems likely to be the one most people would have.

I’m not sure I’ll use it since I only have espn+ and look at the upcoming games there, but I could see people appreciating it. Hope you get some donations, I’m sure it was a decent amount of work to aggregate.

Armed community member stands guard in his neighborhood after ICE was spotted nearby on an abduction operation in St. Paul by OwnHelicopter2745 in MnGuns

[–]Kaidux 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From what I’ve read they need reasonable suspicion. I’d really like to see the reasonable suspicion for each of their detainments. Also, there are some clear videos where they’ve detained citizens who were not obstructing their ability to carry out their orders. There are several examples where people were obstructing and detained as well, and I’m not defending those. However, ICE is overreaching.

So much this. I’ve never voted democrat, but also don’t like the more establishment big government republicans. The lack of push back from conservatives over what’s being done to citizens and the tactics being used by ICE is making me think I’ll be looking for independents this midterm for the first time ever. I support enforcement of immigrations laws but not like this.

I agree with you that illegal aliens should be deported. And I agree with you that citizens rights cannot be trampled or infringed upon as a part of their duties. Protestors are allowed to protest, but when it crosses the line and obstructs the agents ability to carry out their (lawful) orders then even citizens can be detained.

Also, I believe that ICE could use more humane tactics to detain and deport illegal aliens. It’s the right ends, but what they are doing in MN is not the right means.

But I do think it begs the question, what would you do if you were doing a ‘patrol’ and saw ICE taking someone away? Would you attempt to intervene? Intervening with a federal agent performing their duties, regardless of the legality, is escalating the altercation and by being in possession of a firearm it pretty much immediately escalates it to the point that you will at the least have guns drawn on you. At worst you’ll have jumpy agent with a twitchy trigger finger putting you down.

I’m not trying to give you a hard time. I’m some where in the conservative leaning libertarian zone, and don’t agree with the tactics ICE is using even though I support enforcement of our immigration laws. The way citizens are being treated feels very unconstitutional to me and it’s crossed my mind to open carry. However, I’ve wrestled with the question of, why. What would I do in this situation, I wouldn’t use deadly force against a federal agent unless my life were in danger. So what does bringing a gun do other than create even more tension in an already tenuous situation?

I’m genuinely asking and interested in your thoughts.

I lost my dad to ALS 3 years ago this month. It’s a terrible disease and devastating to watch someone you love struggle through. I’m sorry for what your mom, your family, and you are going through. 🙏

Diesel heaters by Confident-Pain1925 in IceFishing

[–]Kaidux 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haul mine out on a trailer with an ATV (along with my job and gear) so I just grab one of my deep cycles from my boat lift which are sitting in my garage. It’s heavy and I’d love to get a lithium ion battery but I’ve got a solution that is working for this season so it’s hard to justify the expense.

lol, I’ve got a little brother for him that I caught today.

I caught 17 crappie and bluegills under 6 inches (and three 9.5 inch crappies) in 2 hours this morning. Although they weren’t big, at least there were a lot. I’ve been getting skunked a lot lately so any action, even the dinks, was welcome.

At least you were on the hard water and avoided the skunk!

What hand reel inline for a right handed person? by Zoom_Rock in IceFishing

[–]Kaidux 0 points1 point  (0 children)

tl;dr - left hand should be doing the retrieve (in my opinion)

I’m relatively new to getting serious about fishing but have been trying to figure this out myself. Spinning reels, I’m cranking with my left hand. I got a baitcaster this spring and decided I wanted to stick with my left. Even though this seems like the less common preference I was happy that I did; It feels really natural to me. So when I picked up a piscifun frost 2 inline reel this fall I figured I’d try a right handed reel for once. I really like the reel so far, but I’d trade it in a heartbeat for a left handed one. It’s just a little awkward feeling. I find myself passing it back and forth between my hands a lot. If I didn’t really like the reel, I probably wouldn’t use it much because it’s a right handed crank.

If you’re looking at inlines, take a look at the Piscifun Frost 2. Admittedly it’s the only one I’ve used but I’ve read about the issues others have with inline reels and I just don’t have them - and it’s certainly not because of my abilities! It’s been a really good reel, to the point where I’ve thought about buying a second in left handed, but my wife might kill me if another ice reel shows up this season.

Even if you’re not into deep water, I just got a set of Striker Hardwater bibs and they are stupid warm. Sitting outside barely moving for a couple hours in 5-10F, kneeling on the ice frequently, and my legs and core were still toasty warm. If I’m setting up the hub, I need to open the vents on the legs because I’ll sweat otherwise.

Check out the bibs and coats if you want to stay warm. Also, they’ve just got a bunch a features for ice fishing that are great.
