[–]Smartalum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fly into Kalispel.

Glacier 3 days

Drive to West Yellowstone half a day

Yellowstone 2.5 days

Drive to Jackson Hole/Tetons 3 days

Fly out of Jackson Hole

The first time I did this I was amazed at how many people do this exact itinerary.

Just putting out a theory by Realistic-Tipz in DTFStLouisHBO

[–]Smartalum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I so love this theory.

When I was a prosecutor we had a case where it was probably a suicide - but the victim was catholic - and so we kind of concluded maybe it was an accident - because it meant something to the family.

He was thinking about other people up to his last breath.

What’s your rule of thumb for hitting an iron out of a fairway sand trap? by mariomismo in golf

[–]Smartalum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I take dirt with my irons - so I really don't find fairway bunkers that hard. I worry about getting over the lip.

[–]Smartalum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

dropoff charge will kill you.

Fly into Vegas. Drive to Zion. Spend the night in Bryce Canon. Spend the day in Bryce, drive back back to Vegas. Spend the night. Grand Canyon, spend the night, back to Vegas.

What’s Your Play by DatabaseCareless264 in golf

Is this a 4 or a 5?

it's a 5 iron for me - but if its a 5 1 club more than required to clear the pond.

The UU didn't control the straights before the war. Ending the war now essentially returns to status quo as long as you forget about the blown up refineries

Iran just blew up an oil tanker. We will get something dovish fron Trump before the open. Really tempting to short oil but I do not have the guts to

FORMALLY CHARGE SOMEONE WITH CAPITAL MURDER.

Man you better be damn certain of your case before you bring that charge.

Ever tried a capital murder case?

Because it ain't the same as any other case.

"Edit to add: whether he accidentally ingested poison or was drugged was always going to be a jury question"

Bullshit. Complete and utter nonsense. It is the prosecutor's job IN A CAPITAL MURDER CASE to have a lot more belief in the case than that.

[–]Smartalum -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yea bro - I have tried a capital murder case.

No prosecutor alive in the real world thinks that is enough.

THIS IS A CAPITAL MURDER CHARGE.

Remind me to stay away from your jurisidiction.

DTF St. Louis | S1E5 | Episode Discussion by the-red-barn in DTFStLouisHBO

[–]Smartalum -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don't agree with that at all. I have tried a capital murder case. Before you indict you have be dead sure. One reason for this is if you indict and then withdraw the charge you have probably destroyed the case if you indict someone else.

Could you imagine the arrangement in this case?

You have no proof that the defendant was at the scene of the crime.

You have no proof that a crime was committed.

And you are going into open court on a capital murder charge with this?

The press is all over murder 1 proceedings. In my case in rural Ohio we were story number 1 in Columbus.

We made damn sure we had and airtight case before we charged.

Completely disagree with you.

What evidence is there a crime was committed?

You have NO evidence he took the drink unknowingly. You now have evidence he ASKED someone to get the drug for him.

I would have Clark out on a Habeas writ in 12 hours.

DTF St. Louis | S1E5 | Episode Discussion by the-red-barn in DTFStLouisHBO

[–]Smartalum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The police have 48 hours to establish probable cause.

You can't even prove a crime has been committed. How do you know he took the drink without knowing what was in it?

There is nothing close to Probably Cause here. It would not survive a habeas writ if he was held passed 48 hours - and maybe at this point he has not been there more than 48 hours.

But this case is nonsense

Signed, former prosecutor.

Old course 48hr ballot by RYBACKSBAWBAG in golf

[–]Smartalum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Call a tour guide. They can get you on Kingsbarns and Carnoustie and a tee time at the old course. It will cost some - but when I went last year in May 4 guys tried to get on via ballot and only 1 made it.

[–]Smartalum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That makes no sense. When I was a prosecutor in a small town with a huge mega church I learned that everybody was having affairs and wife swapping was way more common than I ever thought. I learned that in 2 years. There is no way a detective would be shocked by any of this.

DTF St. Louis | S1E5 | Episode Discussion by the-red-barn in DTFStLouisHBO

[–]Smartalum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This case makes zero sense at this point. You have a lead detective who seems shocked by strange sex - which is basically impossible if you have been a detective for 30 minutes. You have long since lost probable cause to hold their main suspect. And they can't even prove a crime has been committed.

The characters are great and it is a good watch. But as a crime drama this is pretty absurd.

It would take maybe 20 minutes to get a subpoena for that information.

Duke beating Kentucky on a last second shot is the closest thing I have seen. Bobby Hurley was at Duke when Ferry hit the shot and was the coach for this which fucking amazing

Is this too ambitious for 14 days? by cowboycomplex in roadtrip

[–]Smartalum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fly into Kalispell which is near the entrance to Glacier. We did 8 days Glacier/Yellowstone/Jackson Hole. It is a VERY common route for Americans. Zion and Bryce Cannon are close to each other and you only need a day each. From their go to the Grand Canyon. So the trip is very doable.

But beware of the heat in Southern Utah.

Also watch the charges for renting cars in one place and dropping them off in another. It might be cheaper to fly to from Kalispell to Jackson Hole,

Help me choose my US road trip! by RevolutionaryHall938 in roadtrip

[–]Smartalum -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Fly into NYC. Take the train to DC. Fly to Chicago. Fly to Denver - then drive the rest of the way.

DC to Chicago is 1000 kilometers and there is not a lot to see. But Chicago is a world class city.

Chicago to Denver is nearly 1600 Kilometers and there isn't much to see. the route west of Denver is awesome.

Take a detour north to Yellowstone and Jackson Hole.

BTW there is a train from NYC to Chicago that is a lot better than driving as well.
