[Texas] If you get stopped on a horse by a cop, do the same lack of "stop and ID" laws apply as if you were a pedestrian? Also other horse questions.....

In Texas, you don't have to ID yourself to a cop unless you are arrested or a driving a motor vehicle. So in that case, then when riding a horse and being contacted or detained can you tell the cop to get lost?

Also how would a reasonable suspicion enough to search your saddle bags and such on the horse look like? I guess it would just depend on how much of a power trip their on since it's uncommon, but would the same laws apply to a vehicle search apply where they get a K-9 unit out and make a dog sniff your horse. Seems like a bad idea for the safety of the animals.

Also what all can you you do on a horse that you can't do in a car? Like do you have to follow any speed limits, or can you just ride on the public easements at full speed? Can you just ride on the sidewalk?

Edit: also, all the same questions but applied to a donkey now as well. Thanks.

What's the tldr on this whole state redistricting controversy?

Like i thought gerrymandering was bad.

Are the left and right just fighting over how it should be gerrymandered to benefit their own party?... OR is one of the sides against gerrymandering and the other side is for it? Any comments or posts I've seen about the topic haven't made this clear which side is for or against gerrymandering, or seems to be selectively for or against it depending on what day of the week I see a post about it.

I'm just lost and live under a rock I guess.

Hypothetical Hanta Virus protection stack?

This is all hypothetical and theoretical of course, but what would you figure may be a good addition to a stack to mitigate Hanta Virus symptoms from wreaking as much havoc on the body, promoting recovery.

I figure quercetin and NAC might help. Quercetin because it can help prevent or lessen cytokine storms and inflammation. And then NAC can do that as well, but more specifically in the lungs.

The comment section is wild af to me... not because the commenters are particularly supportive of the system working this way, because they aren't, but because so many of them are just casually used to it.

"Here's what you need to do... talk to xyz person and file this..."

Countless laymen just nonchalantly responding in this way with no emotion or personal opinions appended to these instructions. Just a cool and casual familiarity with things working this way.

To be fair the comments seem to be heavily modded as are most legal advice subs, but you would think any thought or emotion more than just the bare bones instructions might shine through in any of the comments... nope. Learned helplessness against the state permeates the culture in the UK.

This is extremely disturbing to me.
