Smollest bean lawyer here, but I'd say it's a statement that goes to show knowledge/awareness of actions. How much it ends up supporting the other side, depends: What are the "elements" of the conduct that you need to prove before you can win ("They did X Y Z and knew").
So 1 & 2 for me.

Freshman kid is off to an on-campus studio apartment next week -- and I don't care if he thinks the fire extinguisher is too much. You're cooking? You have an extinguisher.

Reminds me of Merlin Sheldrake who let a copy of his book on mushrooms go... mushroom-y, and then stir-fried and ate it. 🍄🟫📖 there's a video out there somewhere

Kid about to start at the UW, says he's not worried, that his generation doesn't live in fear of Covid. His small middle school was very strict about lockdown rules and didn't have lunch in classrooms until fall 2022, and I wonder how much of the current attitude was shaped there.

Husband: We don't have a glass large enough. Don't come downstairs.

I'm a West Coast IPA person when I do go for a beer -- there are some good options here in Seattle -- but that's rare because I'm in my 50s, tired, and can't hear in bars 🤪
