The domestic house cat is one of the most effective predators on the planet. Anything that is smaller than them gets hunted and killed. They're little furry abattoirs. BBC article: quote:Cats are one of the top threats to US wildlife, killing billions of animals each year, a study suggests. quote:The domestic cat's killer instinct has been well documented on many islands around the world.

Bloody Hedgehog posted:Haven't they though? Seems like every time you hear of another outbreak, it started in some tiny shithole community in the middle of bumfuck nowhere where kids go to church more than they do school. Really? Most of the latest ones like the outbreak in CA seem more of the "but autism!" bullshit than from the "god will sort it out" idiots.

Oh, I'm sure if we didn't have such a vocal and relatively large population of Wakefield adherents we'd be seeing more news of this coming from a lot of the fundie congregations.

EZipperelli posted:Also, you forgot Game Wardens and (in some states) Dept. of Transportation police. These 2 branches/services have the distinct right in most states of being allowed to search you, your car/home/cooler/whatever WITHOUT a search warrant, and it's still legal. I'd be really interested in seeing any source you find, since the courts have narrowly defined very specific exceptions to the 4th Amendment. Now they may say they can do this and trick you into consent*, but I'd be very interested in any cases where consent was withheld, there wasn't reasonable probable cause, or a warrant. * - Law enforcement can, and does, lie on a routine basis while investigating. There is some weird misconception people have that cops can't mislead, lie or verbally trick people. As long as it doesn't lead into entrapment or involve coercion, cops can totally lie.

Sentient Data posted:As far as police lying, I've always wondered - is there any specific protection against police lying about being a lawyer? The common advice whenever you're potentially in deep trouble, guilty or not, is to never speak to the police directly, only under the direct consultation of a lawyer. Is there something that stops an officer from coming into an interrogation room wearing a suit and saying "Hi, I'm your publicly-appointed legal representative" I think it's illegal in general to do that, since lawyers are officers of the court. FAKE EDIT: Yep. http://answers.uslegal.com/courts/attorneys/16625/

Right, but newspaper. So "Just Desserts" would be the pun we would expect and desserve. A layered pun, if you will. Like a cake.

Clitch posted:The guy in the work truck wasn't just cruising, after the camaro came up on his rear end. He was keeping the guy boxed in, and I wouldn't be surprised if he was calling the police. Yep, I actually saw this more than once last summer during a road trip from Chicago to Raleigh. Or at least it's what I've always assumed is the case. Driver *recklessly* weaving in and out of traffic already moving 5-10 mph over the speed limit on an Interstate Some guy ends up boxing him in, usually with a semi-truck in the slow lane. Driver tries to intimidate blocker by riding feet from the bumper, constantly flashing brakes. After a few minutes, blocking vehicle moves over into slow lane. (the is the part where I always imagine HW patrol saying "OK, we're set") Now infuriated driver speeds off over the horizon. Everyone passes driver, now sitting in cop car at the side of the road. It's the best feeling in the world.

Somehow it got back to his place of employment, and they decided to take it "seriously". Problem solved.

Hydrolith posted:Just because you have the legal right to be an arsehole doesn't mean you should exercise it. "Freedom of speech" doesn't mean "I should say or do whatever the hell I want, regardless of whether it upsets others", it means "the government can't throw me in jail for criticizing it". No, it means the government can't throw me in jail for saying whatever I want, regardless if it upsets others. There's no right to be not offended in the US. Of course there are very narrow exceptions to that. But ridiculing a religion is not one of them.

I don't think they're talking about the handheld wands, but the armature kind in a pull through wash. These are the big gently caress-off nozzles that rotate around your car like watery death robots. I know my car dealer recommended not using "touchless" car washes because the detergent combined with the water pressure can potentially chip the paint (not sure if that last part is true, but still being blasted by those sounds like all kinds of bad idea).

Hit it at that height and speed and putting your arm out to brace yourself could easily result in it breaking or spraining. I was thinking that every bit of skin that touched the sand while skipping across it after landing was probably stripped from his body. That's gotta sting.

`Nemesis posted:The video of that is kinda terrifying because it sounds like they dropped quite a ways. there's a healthy delay between then falling and the sound of them hitting bottom. At some venues, there can be a good 20 feet or so from the top of the stage to the floor of the basement below. Especially if set pieces can be stored and then raised to the stage, rather than lowered via a fly system.
