Brings new meaning to the word "uniform."

The articles self summary pretty much covers the content:

A study out of Japan showed how targeting genes can regrow teeth in animals. Now, the team has turned to a human clinical trial. By targeting the USAG-1 gene, researchers believe that they can help people without a full set of teeth regrow teeth. The team says that humans have a third set of teeth available as buds, ready to grow as needed.

Sounds cool!

That's horrible.

Also, why would anyone visit the US at this point?

According to local news reports, all three victims were detainees. FBI Director Kash Patel confirmed no law enforcement officers were injured, and suggested he believed the motive was political:

While the investigation is ongoing, an initial review of the evidence shows an idealogical (sic.) motive behind this attack … One of the unspent shell casings recovered was engraved with the phrase ‘ANTI ICE.’

Huh, don't know how to interpret that.

Following Wednesday’s shooting, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem pointed blame for the incident on rhetoric from the far-left: "For months, we’ve been warning politicians and the media to tone down their rhetoric about ICE law enforcement before someone was killed. These horrendous killings must serve as a wake-up call to the far-left that their rhetoric about ICE has consequences. Comparing ICE Day-in and day-out to the Nazi Gestapo, the Secret Police, and slave patrols has consequences."

Or, you know, acting like the gestapo has consequences.

Court documents show Ruth was previously charged with stalking, trespassing, and prowling at night, but had no felony convictions.

Thanks. Sounds to me like a person who reasonable gun control laws would have prevented from gun ownership.

Aljazeera has a scant few additional details:

Police said the officers were there to serve a warrant. At a news conference, Christopher Paris, the state police commissioner, explained that they were following up on an investigation that began the day before, but he shared few other details. “The general heading of that investigation, I would say,

From the original article:

“This kind of violence is not OK. We need to do better as a society,” Shapiro said.

Seems like quite a juxtaposition there. I wonder what the "disturbance" was, and what de-escalation approaches were attempted.

I think the suggestion to just stitch around it is probably sufficient, but an earlier post in this community pointed me to using a speedweve to basically weave a little patch in-place, picking up stitches around all the sides to sew it onto the mended garment. Looks pretty cool if you want to go to that much effort.

(Edit: Video with clearer instructions, also demos on non-hand-knit fabric.)

They're fun, and pretty quick turnaround. Good luck!

Bummer, I had a pretty high opinion of RPI up until now. I would say 'wait and see what results get published,' but we saw how that worked out with the elections, and I can't imagine anyone would take that money without knowing the result they're expected to deliver.

100 coins in the clock was probably my toughest of the 120 stars.
