Am I the only one who thinks this is not such a big deal? The article says child marriage is already prohibited except a “Romeo and Juliet” provision
Senate Bill 341 would have ended a loophole letting 17-year-olds marry legal adults up to four years older than them with court approval
Someone of any age can marry an 18 year old, but if you want to marry a 17 year old you better be close in age and get a court to approve? That already prohibits child marriage while being flexible in limited circumstances. The bill would have only removed the flexibility.
You could certainly argue it’s not limited enough or I don’t know if courts are too quick to approve, but it’s not like child marriage is wide open
That’s not a big dog, nor does it look like one with a dangerous bite

But you’re missing externalities. A huge reason we need better regulation is the tendency of corporations to externalize their costs to all of our detriment.
Climate and pollutions issues are a prime example. In a free market A corporations saves money by evading cleanup costs, polluting, and the rest of us pay. A justly regulated market minimizes those externalities so the corporations covers all its costs
In case your attempt to start arguments is sparked from actual ignorance ….
federal permitting and leasing for wind projects
- many wind farms are not on owned property. In particular for offshore wind farms there is no land that can be owned. Many projects are in locations leased from the government
- if turbines are above above a certain height, it affects airspace used for flying, you don’t own
- even renewables can be bad for the environment. The trope about killing birds has some truth to it, and environmental review keeps it from happening
- yes, renewables can affect your neighbors and they deserve some consideration
- yes, it’s conceivable that a wind farm offshore or near a base or a border can have national security implications
In a nation of laws, things like this are worth considering. However that is different than using them as cover for personal beliefs
Easy to say, but look what happens when some oversized oompa loompa ignores them all And just acts for personal gain
Unfortunately we’re likely to get stuck with more laws, more red tape, more paperwork, trying to prevent the current disaster from happening again
The government paid like $1B for wind farm developers to abandon projects.
Most of the time government slows things down, but the current administration actively fights against progress or shatter people want. wtf does he care about wind farms in New England enough to shut them down
I mean the alternatives are not all wine and roses. We pay among the highest electricity prices in the country and a big part of that is depending on wind farms that are already like a decade behind. Previous governments slowed them down, letting everyone be heard, but they didn’t actively oppose
For sure, thanks. No one should have to go through a place like that
My manager, several jobs back. He put me on the layoff list so he could take my job (which he was completely unqualified for)
Or maybe the VP above him. Agree to lay me off because I was fine with being first in or last out, but drew the line at being both first in and last to leave (in a startup where everyone was working insane hours so I seriously considered working overnight as the shorter workday)
Or maybe the CFO because he let me spend money buying my options on the way out in case they succeeded (it was like $200), then immediately issued new options to zero out the ones we got
You know, that was just a really toxic startup
Isn’t that true of pretty much everything he’s tried? He fails, declare “WINNING”, and the rest of us get the consequences

I just got an Airthings Radon monitor, and the integration with HA went smoothly. As a starting dashboard I have a simple card displaying sensor values.
But I let myself get carried away and got the one with the most sensors. So expected to see history graphs so I can look at trends or events, but it never occurred to me they were all different units and scales. HA wants to create many charts, which is less easy to read.
Does anyone have dashboard ideas on how to display these?

Many states have higher minimum wage. Here it’s $15/hr. That’s probably not enough for a high cost of living area but my teen just got a summer job for $18/hr, so employers are paying more
