Even if it is constructively a dismissal, you can almost never sue someone for firing you in California.

That's not how that works. Guardianship is a totally separate concept. To be married, someone would be simultaneously emancipated and legally treated as an adult from thenceforth.

I wasn't trying to be misleading. I was just to trying to counter what I thought was very misleading language. When someone says a man has "a kid in his home" as an underaged spouse, the scenario that pops into your mind isn't that it's a 17-year-old emancipated girl who's just married her 18-year-old boyfriend, which is essentially the only legal scenario in Florida.

The laws have been restricted a lot in the last few years, so that isn't really relevant anymore. California, Mississippi, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Washington are the only states without a minimum marriage age.

And I was just talking about Florida like in the article. It is one of the strictest states on child marriage in the country.

California, Mississippi, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Washington are the only states without a minimum marriage age, and Hawaii and Kansas are only states below 16 as the minimum. In any case, it also requires parental consent, judicial approval, and/or emancipation. Florida is one the most strict states in this regard.

You have to already get judicial approval to marry, and it's literally only 17-year-olds being allowed to marry 18- and 19-year-olds. It's not really "having a kid in your home".

Which, from this thread, sounds like what's happening in Finland.

I am a lawyer, and that is correct. You can use old Mickey for general purposes, but not as a mark.

South Africa is quite close with Iran, so this shouldn't be too surprising.

The Supreme Court will have to rule whether or not the 14th disqualifies him. We can't have states disagree on who the president is.

Even $100 billion is nothing compared to the power that comes from controlling a nation state. Just in real estate terms, $100 billion is enough to maybe buy a really small city if no one noticed what you are doing. To control a whole country of land, people, and wealth is incomparable to anything achievable in capitalism.

Not alone. It would have to lose ~3% relative to other states to lose a vote. However, this is just one year and southern states are all gaining people at twice the rate New York is losing them, so theoretically a blue vote could be flipping to a red vote every few years just from the amount of people leaving blue states.

Note that when New York loses Congressional seats, the legislature will presumably gerrymander them such that the Republicans in New York are eliminated, so it shouldn't affect Congress at all.

The unpopular ones like Paramount+ and Peacock will probably lower their prices, rely on ads, realize they can't keep the lights on with their lower prices, and probably sell to Amazon or Disney someday. The larger ones will consolidate the popular content and continue raising their prices and inserting more ads. The previous prices were just a loss-leader to get people to sign up.

"For" shouldn't be capitalized in title case tho

Sadly, the Taliban isn't even the worst. They're now fighting insurgents from ISIS-K, which is an even more violent and oppressive terrorist group.

There is not a significant Christian population in Gaza. There were almost 0.1% Christians in 2007, but after Hamas took over and vigilante beheadings of Christians picked up, most fled to Israel or the West Bank.

Didn't Hamas break the last two ceasefires? How does the UN expect to enforce such with a literal terrorist organization?

A car has up to 55 sq. ft. available to panel. A good solar panel gets maybe 20 W/sq. ft. efficiency. An electric car has around an 80 kWh battery. A day has roughly the equivalent of 5 hours of full sunlight.

Then you just multiply/divide everything together, and you get 14½ days.

Those all sound like efficiency issues still. Covering any form of transportation with solar panels is primarily pointless because of how little power that would generate. Even if you covered every available inch with the most efficient panels invented, it would take over two weeks of sitting in full, direct sunlight to charge a solar-powered car, which you would drain in four hours of driving. As these panels are half as efficient as traditional panels, you could drive maybe a two minutes per hour you sit in full sun.

Here's some information you may find helpful about how Hamas broke the truce yesterday with yet another genocidal terrorist attack: https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/shooting-attack-jerusalem-wounds-least-6-ambulance-service-2023-11-30/
