12 times I've seen that hose kink trick people. @jordan903 you're not alone on that back pain, I feel you.

I read somewhere that California courts actually started using digital evidence submission systems during the pandemic, so judges can pull up text logs and call records right on their screens instead of waiting for paper copies. 47 texts in one night is basically a textbook example of harassment, plus if she had timestamps showing they came every few minutes, that makes the pattern super obvious. My cousin went through something similar in LA last year and her lawyer told her that judges in domestic violence cases can sign off on modifications within 48 hours if the new evidence clearly shows escalation. The system is actually set up to move fast on these because the whole point of a temporary restraining order is to stop the situation from getting worse, not to make people wait around for weeks.

But isn't that just encouraging people to buy less and rely on the system more? Libraries are already stretched thin with books and computers, now they're expected to maintain power tools too. Next thing you know there's a waitlist for a weed whacker and nobody can find the latest bestseller.

Wait, you're telling me bus drivers out there actually have secret shortcuts? I used to think following the route was like a law or something and drivers were just stuck with it. But after hearing this, I totally get why someone would take the backroads if it shaves off that much time. Did the other passengers seem surprised too, or was it just you? I'm honestly jealous of that ride, my driver sticks to the main roads no matter what.

My best random buy was a $5 lamp that exploded an hour later.
