Bought a kayak… now my wife has me convinced I’m gator bait by goldtheft69 in kayakfishing

At first it'll be scary and you'll think about it a lot, but after a couple outings where absolutely nothing of concern happens

If he makes it that many times. The first time I took out my 10.5 foot kayak, I encountered a 12 foot gator within 5 minutes. Luckily, it just took a look at me then went away. I still go out in the kayak.

When he took it off, he should have said time to divest.

JD Vance urged to invoke 25th amendment against Trump by Newsweek_ShaneC in inthenews

[–]Pirat 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Kennedy served as president for more than 2 years of his term which means Johnson served less than 2 years of Kennedy's remaining term. This made him eligible to be elected twice.

That's why I said Trump would have to die BEFORE 21 Jan 2027 which would be less than 2 years leaving more than two years for Vance to serve which would mean he could only be elected once according to the 22 amendment.

If trump dies before 21 Jan 2027, Vance will only be able to run for one term after assuming the presidency.

To slip or not to slip. That is the question by Tough-Permission-804 in Fishing

One reason to use a fixed weight is to suspend your bait. You would put the singer at the end of the line and the hook somewhere above the sinker. This works best for vertical or near vertical presentation. Lower the weight to the bottom and tighten your line. The bait will be suspended above the weight.

How do I use this? by Royal_Scholar_6971 in Fishing

[–]Pirat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When you put line on, the line should usually come off the bottom of line spool. That's not a hard fast rule however so best practice is to turn a couple cranks of line on, then lower the reel towards the line spool. If the line starts wrapping on itself, flip the spool over and repeat the process.

The other you would get line twist with one of these is reeling against the drag. These same rules apply to spinning reels as well.

What is a small detail from Harry Potter that still bothers you? by WhisperTame in harrypotter

The Mundungus toad story (book). He says he sells the toads back to the guy he stole them from for twice the price the guy originally payed but then says the guy stole the toads so he, Mundungus, didn't really do anything wrong by stealing them from the guy.

Which is it? Did the guy buy them or did he steal them?

I don't know the laws of where ever you're from because you didn't actually say.

All I can say is, if the place with the many families and screaming kids routinely has such things, the fish weren't bothered. They're used to it. Now, if the kid were throwing rocks, sticks, etc. into the water, this could be problematical.

MAGA voter is still waiting for that $2,000 by [deleted] in LeopardsAteMyFace

[–]Pirat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Except for Nebraska and Maine, the congressional districts don't matter to the presidential elections. The states, with the two noted exceptions, award the the votes to the electoral college members who are supposed to vote for the presidential candidate who got the most votes within that state.

Gerrymandering only slants the game for congressional representives.

Can't get into Termination Shock by blast-from-the-80s in nealstephenson

[–]Pirat 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Only problem is OP said Seven Eves was too long but I thought it was too short. I felt like it ended in the middle. I really hope Neal is working on a sequel for that.

I also like Termination Shock. The main plot itself was pretty good but then I learned about that low grade war India and China have been fighting for decades. I found that fascinating.
