Can only speak to the UK, but in the 90s women drinking pints of beer was so radical that they got their own name - ladettes, which also tied into the Girl Power movement (might have been third-wave feminism adjacent? Idk)

These days if a woman drinks a beer nobody would even bat an eyelid, it's just such an unusual thing to think that was ever considered not normal. This is just one case, but it's indicative of one way that society has progressed. There are many more examples of such societal changes.

Your statement prompted me to think back to when the BBC used to run stories on the dangers of uppity Ladettes and what that might mean for the establishment.

These are beautiful, thank you for sharing.

It really speaks to something when I'm rooting (no pun intended) for a Kiwi vine to find the pole, like "come on buddy you can do it". Very satisfying to watch.

Judges hate this this one trick. Call them rude words then they can't convict you because that would make them biased!

Fellow right-side-of-the-ponder here (so take with a heap of salt). So basically both sides present mitigations ("my client had a clean record until now", "the defendant was found liable for SA", sort of thing). These may change the outcome of the sentencing, including specific dates for any period of incarceration.

There will also be part of this given over to why they defendant shouldn't be found liable for also violating his gag order (very similar to the ones before, but this one is now he is a felon). And if the defense counsel can't explain why he did that (which is pretty much indefensible) then he can be both found liable for the breach and have it impact his potential sentence.

I am not a lawyer, I am not American, this is just what I understand, until someone better comes along to correct me.

I'm only mentioning this because it's not been mentioned in any other comments but there is a Python implementation for the CEF (Chrome Embedded Framework). It let's you write your front end in HTML/CSS and JS while letting you call back to a Python backend. You can use any existing JS framework to do your styling (offering the most flexibility) while keeping business logic in Python. It's not exactly what you were asking for, however you mentioned in a different comment thread that tkinter looked outdated, so thought I'd mention it.

Bring back national service, but exclusively for Orcas, they have too much time on their hands!
