Did not affect me today, but maybe treat this as a spoiler until the puzzle is over?
When you just donāt want to deal with it, but you have to.
Adulting sucks sometimes.

Yeah, that thought occurred to me, tooā¦ unfortunately after the edit window. I also forget that I am at least 6 hours ahead of most folks here.
Mea maxima culpa.

Maybe can still delete and then re-post as desired? Maybe not - Iāve found the delete function in this iteration of Discourse to be pretty temperamental.

Right now, mine is in a kimchee that I laid up about 12 days ago. I didnāt have Napa, so I thought, WTF, whatās the worst that could happen if I cured regular old white cabbage with all the other ingredients"
Magic, is the worst that could happen. This stuff is fantastic in flavor. Although too toothsome (as youād expect). I love it, kids love it, wifeā¦ erā¦ welll, Iāve never managed to cultivate her taste for kimchee anyway, so she donāt countā¦

My PIC absolutely despises kimchee, so I have no reason to make it. In fact, I donāt even buy it bc thereās only so much I can eat of it ā Iām no @mariacarmen, thatās for sure, although we have a Korean market back home that sells their own, and it is excellent.
Todayās culinary SB exception/annoyance: idli.

Signature quirk of the game.

That, and perfectly normal words like murder. Blurred bc it may be one of the ātriggeringā words (?).

Unanimous supreme court decision today restoring an Atlanta coupleās right to sue the federal government for damages after an FBI swat team got the wrong house. (not only wrong house, but wrong streetā¦)
The federal district and appellate courts had said their suit was blocked by sovereign immunity; and sometimes this is the case, but the Congress wrote a law in the `70s (following some other botched wrong-address federal raids) permitting such suits by waiving immunity, under some narrow exceptions. The lower courts have been using a too-strict standard in allowing such suits to go forward, according to the SCCT opinion.
Good result I think; hopefully this will result in a fairly quick settlement for the family, rather than further protracted litigation. And glad to see the supremes unanimous. They had three unanimous opinions come down (IIRC) last week or week before.

The unanimity is quite a surprise. Especially from those two.

Thereās a lot of reporting on when they are not unanimous, thatās true. But so much of the surprises are (for followers like me) when there seem to be unlikely alliances and (of course) the pretty heavy numbers of times that they are unanimous.
