The restraining order means nothing to the supreme court, also.
"Castle Rock v. Gonzales, 545 U.S. 748 (2005), is a United States Supreme Court case in which the Court ruled, 7–2, that a town and its police department could not be sued under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 for refusing to enforce a restraining order, even though the refusal led to the murders of a woman's three children by her estranged husband."

Last time I crossed back into the US from Canada the agent gave my friend shit because she didn't have a physical receipt for the purchase she made and couldn't prove it was worth less than the threshold. Even though I live in a border city I rarely cross because the agents are such assholes
A couple friends and I have a "do not buy" spreadsheet with all our shared tools and equipment. If none of us have it a local lending library probably does
Is there only one person in the world who writes all thrift store price tags? It's always the same handwriting
There's a lyric in a Why? song Only those evil live to see their own likeness in stone.
Wait, but
Or they take the opportunity to reintroduce red lining
That makes sense. It seems the expressions are often tied to the music —raised eyebrows when playing a high note, something like surprise when hitting cymbals, scrunching when it's nasty. So maybe involuntary but relative expressions from concentration and focus?
I was initially going to call it guitar face, but drummers make some wild expressions too. Though as a listener, I will also sometimes involuntarily make them too. Seems most of us aren't immune.

What causes musician face?
You know how their faces contort when hitting certain notes or rhythms? Why is that triggered in the face? Is it an emotional response? Communication by facial expression? Vestigial from some other process?
I am not committed to winning
I've noticed women on bumble do this. Put moderate as their political affiliation, and list black lives matter and LGBTQ+ and such as their causes. Before this post I would think "elected moderates aren't doing anything for your causes at best," but my perspective as I swipe left on them anyway is a little different now
Those contacts can be compared to a broken taillight or stop and frisk—it's an opportunity to probe deeper and find anything at all to justify further surveillance and actions taken against families who are often impoverished and the hard life that creates.
Also black families are over-policed, and their kids more likely to be put into foster care "National estimates suggest that 53% of Black children will experience CPS contact by age 18, as compared to 28% of White children" "We consider that, at their root, these inequities are the consequence of systemic racism: there is no inherent relationship between race and child maltreatment. Rather, race is a proxy for the societal and institutional privileges and oppressions people experience because of their membership in a racialized group" https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9325927/

Hegseth is now saying it didn't actually happen, matching their incompetence with dishonesty, the tone of this "merit based" administration
Jim Brown was a prominent civil rights activist though, so not an unfortunate mixup
Even without the fanboys justifications, what did this test prove that the others didn't, since it didn't mimic a real world scenario like the tests where the tesla demolished the kid? I've driven through fog and lights and heavy rain, but have yet to encounter an unexpected Wile E Cayote wall in the road.
Hm, it seems eggs stick to stainless steel pans particularly well, in case anyone finds that useful
I use Bob's red mill egg replacer for baking by default to save my eggs for breakfast, and tho I've never done a one-to-one comparison, it has always satisfied my baking needs.
Second relevant xkcd of the comments https://what-if.xkcd.com/74/
I'm sure I'll understand those words eventually. I wasn't sure what the difference was, so just tried hibernation. But I haven't tried any swapping of partitions or partitioning at all, it was just a standard debian install that gave me the option, which I haven't touched since.

food safe finish
I made a tofu press and have some Howard butcher block conditioner on hand. Is that enough for a finish or do I need something more?


Goals scored while in the box stat
Casual hockey fan here, mostly a Red Wings fan. I've been failing to find a stat that shows how many power play goals are scored for each player who gets a penalty. My thought is, if your team is scored against while you're in the box, your team needs you and it was a costly penalty. Conversely, if your team is not scored against while you were in the box, they can play without you just fine, so go ahead and take a penalty.
Does this metric not exist? There's stats for power play goals scored, of course, and each team's penalty kill ratio, but I want to know whose team can most and least effectively kill the penalty per penalized player.
EDIT: I'm also curious about "retributive power play goals" For example, player A gets tripped by player B, and player A then scores on the power play.

Why are faucets so expensive?
Seems like established technology with common metals fabricating a simple mechanism. What differentiates a relatively inexpensive, contractor-grade faucet from one that costs anywhere from double to 10x the price?

When to dead head or leave for the birds
How do y'all decide the balance between dead heading for more blooms or letting flowers go to seed for the benefit of local birds?
I have one of the few flower gardens on my block and the only native garden, so pretty much all of my flowers produce beneficial seeds and I want to support the birds, but it would also be nice to get more blooms.

6b evergreen ideas
I'm in southeast Michigan, hardiness zone 6b, and I'd like to add a small or mid size evergreen to my yard for some winter interest, any suggestions?
I also have a large yew I'd like to replace with something comparable to maintain a little porch privacy, I'm thinking either a smoke bush or witch hazel, any others I should consider?
