If you never watch another match of squash again, watch this one. This is NZ number one, former world number one, against world number 3 and former world number one.

 

 

This is probably the best match I've seen in quite a number of years, and I watch a hang of a lot of squash.

This is news from 2019, but I though I'd post it since I mentioned US state Utah (66% Mormon).

The deep-south and Florida aren't the only embarrassing states.

Salt Lake Tribune: Utah House approves ban on 15-year-olds getting married, 16- and 17-year-olds would need parental permission

Fifteen-year-olds looking to wed may soon be legally barred after a bill raising Utah’s minimum marriage age to 16 easily cleared the House on Friday.

State representatives voted 55-6 for the bill, HB234, which requires parental consent and judicial approval for a 16- or 17-year-old to marry, and imposes a seven-year maximum age gap between a minor and their potential spouse.

“I see this as a way for us to protect children,” said bill sponsor Rep. Angela Romero, D-Salt Lake City, “and knowing that there are some special circumstances where a marriage might happen.”

Romero originally intended to ban all underage marriages in the state, but agreed to a more incremental compromise that would eliminate the ability of 15-year-old Utahns to marry and to impose judicial oversight for the marriages of older teens. Current law requires judicial approval at age 15, and only a parent’s consent beginning at age 16.

The seven-year age gap was added through an amendment by Rep. Brian King, D-Salt Lake City. It would not apply to marriages between two adults, he said, but only when an older individual is seeking to marry a child.

“I think it provides greater protection and assurance that we’re not having coercive marriages being arranged,” he said.

I am not sure how much I believe some of the content.  When they line up the heavy machine guns, for instance, the American 30 (I think) is on a tripod with the operator sitting behind it with his head at least 12" above the sights, so he is not exactly aiming it.  The resulting hit ratio suggests they pre-aimed the gun and locked it down for the test.  They also suggest the German type 40 is at a disadvantage because its higher rate of fire chews through ammo, but I suspect a person might have a different point of view if they were down range of all that firepower.
