Not to distract from the content of this article, but why is journalism so poor now days? Almost every sentence/paragraph in this article says “she was a victim of childhood marriage,” just worded in various ways. I appreciate the background info on the origin of these laws and the the discussion of how widespread this issue currently is, but this article could be reduced to 6 or so sentences without losing any information.
Pretty sure they’d have to, otherwise they couldn’t charge phones that use it
Improved education, prison reform that actually works, making jobs pay more money so people are strapped for cash all the time, making healthcare and education affordable, increased climate action so people can build towards a future they’re excited about…

There is exactly one firearm on the market that has reliable fingerprint/facial ID. It’s made by a company called Biofire, and it starts at $1500.
People who have children in their house can choose to buy one, but no one should rely on this sort of safety mechanism to stop their kids from killing themselves. Education and a simple gun lock works perfectly fine for kids and standard firearms when taught/used correctly.

I thought this thing was a gag at first, but that’s actually really clever. I wonder if dogs would hate it.
I’m not Russian so I have a limited perspective of this, but I remember people pointing out good indicators that the invasion was really going to happen during the weeks leading up to it, like how the Russian military was setting up field hospitals along the border. Obviously, hindsight makes reflecting on this difficult, and I’m not sure what information was available to Russian citizens at that time.
