Yep! Just slice it thin so it cooks in the oven. I do about 2mm thick slices.

Empty communities are boring, so I've decided to get things bootstrapped with a regular series of posts from the world of Pokemon. This story by DaystarEld is one of my favorite stories, fan fiction or no, and it gave me a reason to revisit my childhood obsession which I always enjoy. Here's the premise:

Enter the world of Pokémon from a rational perspective. Instead of starting his journey in ignorance, Red has spent his years studying the creatures so central to his world... and he doesn't quite agree with all the information in his books. No time for rookie mistakes here: he's on a quest to discover the true nature of Pokémon, and maybe even find out where they really come from.

The series is ongoing, but was first published in 2013 so we'll start at the beginning. I plan to post next chapters on Tuesdays and Fridays. Enjoy!

Could someone explain?

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?

I know this is just a meme, but Wet Bulb 35 events terrify me.

The funny thing is, even after the 100% price increase they're still cheaper than american EVs.

So AI = 0? Sounds about right.

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.

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".

Stop trying to make "fetch" happen!

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.

What could be going on with Rowan?

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)
