Biden announces 100% tariff on Chinese-made electric vehicles
The funny thing is, even after the 100% price increase they're still cheaper than american EVs.

Triangle rule
The classic love triangle was with Arthur, Lancelot, and Guinevere, where both guys wanted the girl but were also best friends. Does that not qualify?

NPR is not sure why Aaron Bushnell set himself fire despite it being clearly mentioned in the video. Omit Gaza but mention the hostages taken by Hamas
I suspect "independently" is the critical word here. I guess they aren't willing to take the guy's word for it when he says it's because of Gaza. Probably a sound policy in general when suicide/mental health is in play. The followup investigation will have to determine if his competence was intact, at which point the motive will be "independently verified".

That's just the point though. Food is only made profitable by pricing it high enough that half the world can't afford it (by which I mean the global south)

What beliefs or hypotheses do you hold strongly despite not feeling confident that you can necessarily prove or evince it?
That global democratic socialism can work. Currently the only states successful in implementing it are oil-rich nordic countries, and I want to believe it can work elsewhere but it'll be hard to prove.

The TLDR is that for almost any given thing we want the government to do, it's cheaper and more efficient to hire government workers to do it than to hire contractors and nonprofits. The author generalized this conclusion from studies finding a correlation between higher quality dept of transport employees and lower department costs. Makes sense to me.

No it's true. I run ha in a docker container too, and it doesn't support the plugin supervisor at all. You have to spin up your own plugin containers manually and configure the connection to them in the core ha instance, that's what I did with piper/wyoming. I'd be happy to share a compose file if someone wants it.

Sustainability is Important
I actually wouldn't mind some biodegradable landmines that were only dangerous for 5-10 years or something. Imagine if we had those in WW2 Europe or Vietnam, those places would be much safer now if we did.
