The final solution came about after they realized that relocation was not viable.

I just bought a set of new tires for $115 each (including installation). But that involved shopping around and not using the manufacturer recommended tires. The dealership wanted around $300 per tire.

Fun fact, the USA is the only member of the UN which has not ratified the Convention on the Rights of the Child.

Depends on the state. Around here (Maryland) there is no law against it. If the owner wanted to make a deal of it, they could maybe argue tresspess for entering despite the gendered sign telling you not to.

In practice, I’ve seen (presumably) cis men in the women’s restroom to use the changing station as builders around here apparently are not familiar with the concept of fathers.

Malicious compliance is about applying an overly literal interpretation of a rule. There is nothing overly literaral about acting as if a law requiring trans people to use the wrong bathroom requires trans people to use the wrong bathroom.

You need someone to request, pay for, and publish them; which will absolutely happen in this case.

The problem is that approximately no one reads transcripts, and they would not even be ready until well after the news cycle moves on.

That is exactly how double jeopardy works. New evidence is not grounds to appeal an acquittal.

The dual sovereignty doctrine between state and federal charges is a loophole around double jeopardy though.

The Y chromosome does a bit more than just carry the SRY gene.

There is a condition where a father’s SRY gene gets transfered to the X chromosome of a sperm, resulting in a child who is XX and SRY positive. [0]

In all known cases, such men are infertile. Fertility treatment is the main source of diagnoses for this, as that is typically the only symptom.

[0] This is de la Chapelle syndrome, although that syndrome also covers an even rarer situation of an XX SRY-negative child developing as a male.

There is also Swyer syndrome where an XY individual develops as a female (typically due to a defact in SRY). Such individuals general do not go through natural puberty and require hormone therapy.

The Supreme Could could declare it a political question, and/or is not self enforcing and would require an act of Congress to Implement.

This is a view that a majority subscribed to in Trump V Anderson regarding the 14th amendment.

Many (all?) states award attorneys fees as a matter of law for specific claims. In my state, most of our tenent protection laws award tenents attorneys fees automatically if they win (along with triple damages).

Private contracts also frequently include a loser pays provision.

Additionally courts can, under their own authority, award attorneys fees if one sides does something to drag out and increase the cost of litigation; which is almost certainly how this dispute got so expensive.

And the Lord said, “If you lay with that infant, you shall burn in the fiery pits of Mordor!”

A) That is even more escalatory, and will lead Iran attacking more oil infrastructure in the region.

B) We can only destroy Karg Island once

C) The US had demonstrated an ability to block Iranian exports by navel power, which can be turned on and off as needed.

D) If destructive dominance were enough to win the war, the US would have one it long ago. Just like they would have won in Afghanistan

Iran views this war as existential, and the Strait as their most significant national defense asset. They are not going to give it up over concerns about oil revenue.

War crimes are not allowed under international law as part of a tit-for-tat.

There is some nuance here, where some war crimes could make what would normally be a warcrime by the other side not a war crime. For instance, it is a war crime to attack medics, and it is a warcrime for combatants to pose as medics. However, if a country commits the warcrime of having combatants pose as medics, it is no longer a warcrime to attack that countries medics.

And that, it seems to be effectively restraining the worlds most powerful military power.

No no no. My entire outfit cost me $2.50. How will I get such good prices if you all hold onto your clothing?!?

All forms of retirement are funded by current workers. Social security is just more honest about it. A retired person is still consuming goods and services produced by the working without producing anything themselves.

Israel’s founders didn’t sit down one day and come up with a new form of non-constitutional democracy.

They convened an assembly back in 1949 to draft the constitution; and that assembly simply failed to do so. The plan was to establish the Knesset (parliament), and kick the can of writing a constitution to them. The Knesset also never finished the job, instead passing a patchwork set of basic laws. It wasn’t until 1995, that their Supreme Court unilaterally asserted that basic laws formed a quasi constitution (a position that they did not start entertaining until the early 90s).

It is true that Israel is not the only country that has stumbled into this system. However, it is a small club. Within that club, what sets Israel apart is how young it is. This is not merely a historical curiosity yet. The tensions that prevented them from forming a constitution in the first place are still alive and well. And, they do not have the generations of precedent needed to provide the clarity that a real constitution can.

I did the math for my EV. Even the expensive fast charging station near me came out to be only about 25% of the cost my old ICE car would get for gas on a per mile basis. The slower level 2 chargers typically cost substantially less than that, but are really only worth it if you were going to park in a lot that had them anyway.

Go to Amazon and search for “Cubic Zirconia ring”. Find one you like and order a pair in the appropriate sizes. If you want something less traditional, drop this cubic zirconia part if the search.

That can easily get you a pair if wedding rings for less money than I spend every year testing my cats’ poop.

Every once in a while, declare peace. It confuses the hell out of your enemies.
