That car starts at $110,000 USD, about the same as in-state cost of attendance in Michigan where the mustang is made and Nevada where Shelby is based

What's the skunk to water balloon ratio for this operation?

On principle I only teach in their car, but made an exception for my friend's husband since he wanted to rent a manual overseas. I learned my lesson, he didn't

There are a lot of these jets going around the world all the time, and very seldom does anything like this happen

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.

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 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?

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.

 

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.

She was barely tolerant of my bugging her for a closeup

 

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?
