looks like i missed it as the link doesnt open!

Hmm strange.... I can't seem to post a link to their Amazon store. Anyway, one can just do a search for 'Nando's peri peri' on Amazon's site.

Cheers

I'm using a 64GB iPhone X that I got at launch with now only 400MB of storage left: half my apps have unloaded, I've had to constantly delete photos, etc... so I had to do something. The main thing I'd praise about the X is its the first iPhone I've used for this long that I haven't had any performance issuse with. It still runs great as it did day 1, but my issue is not having anymore space (I mostly store music locally, its just a preference).

I don't really like the look of the new iPhone, and really don't care for the 3 lenses (I barely use the 2nd one on my current as is), and the X is still my favorite design behind the 4. I was only hoping they'd announce the 12 yesterday to see if the prices would drop, but the price of a unlocked refurb 256GB X is still ~$800 so I wouldn't think so.

they were never going to announce 12 on WWDC. iPhones are for Fall only!

As @MuGeN PoWeR said, there's no phone announcement at WWDC. But even if there was, there is never a price drop on older/refurbs until the new models are released - not just announced.

The farm in Southern Virginia that I am fortunate enough to call home has an abundance of snakes; most of which, thankfully, are non-venomous.

Our most recent encounter had me relocating a cranky five foot long black snake out of the yard and into the nearest pasture, using a garden hoe. Not an ideal tool for the job, and the snake didn't like it much either.

After much lunging and snapping (on the part of the snake), I decided to invest in a proper kit for such encounters: a pair of snake tongs, a snake hook, and a snake bag.

Ordered today from amazon:

My SO's approach to snakes, on the other hand, is more straightforward. She would have used that same hoe, or a shovel, to chop the snake, and relocate its body parts to the pasture.

But she indulges me, and we've come to an understanding that non-venomous snakes in the yard and garden are to be relocated (except for Clyde, our resident Heterodon platyrhinos), by me, and the venomous ones are to be dispatched.

Seems reasonable.

We live in Savannah GA, and we have that snake grabber thing in the second picture. We see a variety of snakes here as well, often venomous. We bought that thing about ten years ago, and it actually works pretty well. It’s strong enough to pick up the snake, and it’s also strong enough to hold it still to kill if it’s poisonous.

The only problem with it is you never have it with you when you need it!

I have an extendable version of the same concept (maybe 5'6” fully extended I guess?) and indeed they’re pretty sturdy. I’ve only ever used it for one actual snake: a tiny one (unsure of the exact species but we think it was harmless) made its way into a pot plant in the house.

the vast majority of my usage is removing tokay geckos. The one difference (From the picture at least) is mine has a clip to lock the head shut. Helps immensely with the disposal method I’ve settled on for the little ****ers.

but the reason I responded: I feel this tool actually works better for the Tokays than it does for snakes. The one snake I grabbed was tiny, but it still took some effort to get him off the end once I released it: Who knew the first instinct when grabbed would be to grab it back and wrap around it with whatever length of body can reach.
 
Got my son an upgrade. He doesn't know yet.
He loves driving sims and his Logitech wheel has been increasing making more noises it shouldn't be. He doesn't even know about Fanatec so hopefully he will be as impressed as I am 😂
And Yes, Dad is going to get a lot of driving time too with this one.

If it's a rat snake, just grab it. :)
