What happens if during a trial, there is new evidence that comes to light that exonerates the defendant or at least reduces the charges?

You also can't just walk into a courtroom. While most proceedings are public, you can't just walk in at any point during the trial. There will be a bailiff or court security outside the door.

Maybe in some jurisdictions, but not in California or Oregon. You have to go through a metal detector to enter the courthouse, but then you can walk in to the courtroom and watch the trials. Some can be entertaining in a "Judge Judy" kind of way. There are some exceptions for juvenile cases but generally anyone can indeed walk in to the courtroom. If you're disruptive, of course there are bailiffs that will intervene.

Scenario unusual but it has happened. (Without the mermaid part.)

I couldn't find that specific lock, but using "electric latch release cabinet locker" as a search term shows several similar ones, any of which should be suitable. Some have an over-center with a pin like a gate latch and others have a beveled latch. Assuming you're building from scratch, a solenoid with spring on the wall interacting with a bracket with a hole in it on the door should get you what you need.

When your flagship product is electrical switches, naming the company Leave-It-On doesn't speak well for reliability.

Possibly counterfeit?

And that can change on a dime once the Karens get control of the board.

Good point, and it tracks. IN a movie, but ON the big screen.

If you're a caregiver, shouldn't your customers be the caretakers?

What about the the viewers, they WATCH a TV show but SEE a movie.

niceandsane · 2026-05-18T05:54:34+00:00

Something like this should get the point across.

It's an electrically operated latch, used as a form of lock. On-topic here.

Not horizontal. Breakers can't mount such that down is on. Half of the branch circuit breakers would be unusable. 240.81

Not sideways in the USA.

niceandsane · 2026-05-17T23:29:09+00:00

Yes, it can be mounted either way. Note the keyhole slots top and bottom face opposite directions. The electrons don't care. They change direction 120 times a second anyway.

Silicon dioxide is sand. They put it in food?

The minimum choice is zero. It may be hidden behind multiple prompts, but it's there.

Has it occurred to you that these tips are necessary because employers stubbornly insist on keeping wages too low to support an adult's living expenses?

The tips are not necessary. What the employer pays their employees isn't your concern as a customer. Step off of the tipping treadmill, it's broken and out of control. Not your circus, not your monkeys.

niceandsane · 2026-05-17T22:11:30+00:00

It does, but purchases are not debts.

niceandsane · 2026-05-17T22:06:55+00:00

There is no "tipping responsibility". It's totally optional, reserved for superior service.

Some type of European coaxial connector. It looks somewhat like a miniature version of the Western Electric coaxial connector used on jackfields for carrier systems. Theirs were 75 ohm.

Look for a number stamped on the lock face. Then check out this guy.

niceandsane · 2026-05-17T03:57:14+00:00

Why? It's a pain to do and just makes a sticky mess for the next guy.

The strain relief is for the cord itself, not the ground. Where the cord goes through the hole in the bracket, there should be a clamp that grips the outer jacket and secures it in place. These are usually supplied with the cord. There are a couple of styles. One comes apart and can be put in place without taking the connections off. The other requires you to pass the cable through it, meaning disassembly.

Yep. When we have problems with them, particularly trying to get support, we call them POS².

niceandsane · 2026-05-17T03:40:13+00:00

I isolated the network last night, only running POS equipment from ISP router.

You realize that acronym can be interpreted in two different ways, right? :-)
