  • I’m currently dealing with neighborhood kids sledding into my chain link fence. I’ve seen several absolutely stun themselves on it. Yesterday I asked them to stop sledding into the fence, nicely but for like the 15th time since Monday. They took that as a challenge I guess, because they all started doing it. It’s going to cost me about $300 to fix it, as long as the posts are still straight.

    Two have had to go to the er this week, and they went right back to sledding into my fence. The parents don’t care at all. Yesterday the cops managed to show up in time to catch a few and get their names, but about an hour later they were back at it.

    I want to replace the fence with something more substantial, for privacy, but I’m actually worried one of these feral children will kill themselves on it









  • Sentencing isn’t always done at the same time a verdict is given. Often a judge will take time to research the punishments available in the law. Sometimes they’ll take advice on a person’s character, and consider the level of remorse the convict has for the crimes.

    There was a small public outcry last year when a celebrity was convicted of sex crimes, and other celebrities known for their work against sex trafficking wrote to the judge to ask for leniency. It made the news because famous people were involved, but it’s a common occurrence.

    He also wanted to wait to see what the Supreme Court would rule in the presidential immunity case, and I honestly can’t blame the man for delaying indefinitely following the results of that. This judge and his family received a lot of death threats and harassment from Trump’s supporters, but he also had to consider that Trump is immune to whatever crimes he chooses to commit in office.






  • I wish it was something that interesting! I can’t even say she was running about doing agility tricks xD. She’s like me, we have slippy joints. She managed to hyperextend far enough to break the ligament one day after a walk

    Edit: we’re going into our second round of surgery soon. She managed to break the replacement ligament and it hasn’t even been a month since it was put in. She’s going to be in a cast over the holidays because I dont want to risk her breaking the new one

    Laser wavelengths targets melanin (a molecule with a specific color absorption and reflection), which is low in light colored hair or skin. Higher melanin density means a darker (appearing) color, so more opportunities for the light to react. This is why a dark hair color and light skin color has the best success with laser.
