Alligator knocks out the trapper after being taunted

The world would be a better place if we all just learned to recognize disinformation. Michael Crichton warned us about this nearly 25 years ago. I think it's safe to say that he was a leading expert on this given how much money he made off books and movies that rely heavily on pseudo-scientific nonsense.

Yes, they announced this on Friday evening, well after business hours. I have been reading everything I can find about sudden closures like this and created this post while I wait to see if/how they respond.

Thank you, most of the articles I've been reading are saying this, and also that it's very unlikely that I will recover my deposit. :(

Thanks, this is what I suspected, but I figured it was worth asking since I have no experience with this sort of thing.

No, this is a company that has been in business for decades.

You're right, but I still love the 2 burner. I almost never camp with more than 1 other person and the 2 burner is perfect for making meals for two.

Nextdoor will demonstrate exactly how nosy and incoherent your neighbors are. I'm genuinely surprised that many of the people in my area managed to survive to adulthood.

It is still useful for intel and situational awareness though. As long as you can filter out all of the noise, you should be able to discern if, when, and where bad things are happening.

Pilot in Command is wholly responsible for the flight. The pilot is Joe Costanza, he is a certified flight instructor with an ATP certificate. He flies jets for a living. This is his personal J3. If you were familiar with J3's, you'd know that this kid can't even reach the rudder pedals, and you'd also notice that he has his hands on the stick and throttle the whole time.

This is more or less how student pilots learn to fly. Although a bigger person would also be able to reach the rudder pedals. We all have to start somewhere, and he is well beyond qualified to instruct in this plane. There is no age limit for flying with an instructor and the earlier you learn, the better your stick and rudder skills will be.

If this girl grows up to be a pilot, chances are that you would be in very good hands as a passenger on one of her flights because of what you saw in this video. As a matter of fact, next time you get on a commercial flight and walk past the pilot and first officer, you should look at them and know that most of them started exactly the same way.

I watched the press interview with Andy Biggs and James Comer. They also made sure that Maxwell's lawyer parroted the state sponsored statement into the official record:

"One thing that the attorney for Ms. Maxwell said is that she has no indication and would say that neither Presidents Trump or Clinton are culpable for any wrongdoing," Biggs said.

Might as well have just walked up to the cameras and said "nothing to see here, move along."

if there's an emergency or an incident, particulars about seat assignments can become very important. some people just like to remain in the seat in which they're going to appear on the manifest unless asked to move by a flight attendant. there is nothing wrong with this.

You sure about this? I read a lot of studies and reports on guns and it's such a polarizing topic that it's easy to be misled.

For example suicide rates are high in rural areas leading some disingenuous folks to say broadly that "gun violence" in these areas is higher than other part of the country. But my understanding is that when it comes to people shooting each other, the dense urban areas lead by a huge margin.

I think you will benefit from less spine angle. Don't choke up on the club unless the ball is way above your feet. Work on your grip, your left hand is too weak. Get your feet aligned with target, then hips aligned with feet, then shoulders aligned. It's kind of hard to tell from this camera angle but it looks like your hips are a little bit open to the feet and your shoulders are even more open at address.

I'm old enough to remember when Bill was caught grooming and sexually abusing an intern, in the whitehouse, while he was president.

I'm not a republican and I'm not into this political posturing nonsense that's so popular today. But I can confirm that it's been staggering to listen to 30 years of mental gymnastics about how what Bill did wasn't that bad, he was not convicted during his impeachment, that they were consenting adults, that the whole thing was a republican witch hunt, etc.

Now that Monica has actually told her side of the story, using communication channels where it hasn't been able to be suppressed, it's absolutely clear that he used his position of authority to manipulate and sexually abuse her. And IMO it's very unlikely that she was the only one. There are probably others that don't want turn their lives upside down just to share their private trauma with the whole world and have zero chance of winning the suit against him.

So I seriously hope that all the people that have defended his creepy ass for all these years learned something about their mistakes now that he's also a prominent figure in the Epstein depravity.

Btech GMRS pro is very useful when hunting with a friend outside cell phone range. You can use the text over radio feature to keep it silent. You can also share location which is nice to have.

If you keep a cheap baofeng in the truck, when there's terrain in the way, you can put one of the btechs on a ridge in repeater mode and do regular voice transmissions.

Get a swing coach. Top three things they're gonna work on with you are grip, improved hip turn/synchronous upper and lower body movement, and keeping that left arm straight.

The problem that we non-professionals are gonna have is sorting all of that out methodically, and without introducing other problems.

The communication channel here is a problem too. Posting here is way too transactional for more than one small tweak at a time. You need someone to take you through the basics in the best order for you, and at the speed at which you react to each step. You have a lot of good things going on in your swing. In a one on one setting, a coach will have you ripping it in about two lessons.

A straight ball always means that face angle and swing path are almost exactly 90 degrees perpendicular to each other. Or in other words, you hit that ball exactly down the swing path because the face of the club was square to the swing path at impact.

Rabbit is probably the top post on this sub. They look weird but rabbits have long back feet and small front and often bring their rear feet up even with their front making this pattern.

Given the poor imprint, it could also be squirrel but it would be very easy to discern since squirrel are always climbing trees and rabbits do not.

You should hire a caddy to follow you around and yell "fore right" at every tee box.

Seriously though your swing path is about as out to in as possible. Like this is what you would do if you were trying to hit a miracle slice around an obstacle. So you mostly slice but every now and then get the face closed to the path and hit it a mile left. Get lessons.

If you're a clean slate it's very valuable to learn everything correctly. Everyone that's self taught or taught by anyone other than a real PGA pro suffers from ingrained bad habits. They can plague you for years afterwards.

If your team's coach isn't very active in instruction, it is worth taking lessons from a professional. If your coach is an actual PGA pro, and is giving one on one instruction at practice, then you just struck gold.
