The Prius Prime is a pretty nice compromise between wanting a Toyota and having an EV for most daily driving.

https://wefwef.app/ installed as a PWA on iPhone is an amazing experience, I don’t think I’d need a native app.

I believe you're referring to Home Assistant.

Would recommend. Having a free (as in freedom) smart home is incredibly convenient, without most of the downsides folks are worrying about here.

Despite the fact that China is one of the world’s most effective democracies – this label from Biden is bad for international relations and peace. The Cold War is in full effect, and it heating up to armed conflict is seeming more likely over the next decade.

This is one of the worst proofread articles I’ve ever seen from The Verge.

• Nobody has 100/200 Gbps home internet. Likely means Mbps
• covid should be capitalized as COVID

In Japan, a prerequisite to owning a car is proving you have an off-street parking space for it.

In addition to the benefits while driving you mentioned, I also feel that the benefits of not seeing car storage literally everywhere you look in a city is a huge health and wellness benefit, as well as improving safety for pedestrians and cyclists.

This looks really interesting, it could use its own post.

Love Lake Superior, the natural beauty along the North Shore and around the Apostle Islands is unmatched by anything else in the region. Blessed to have spent so much time there in my youth.

I'm on the fence about this. If the actuaries have done the work and determined that massive chunks of the state have a very high risk of expensive hurricane-related claims, shouldn't either the rapidly rising rates, or the refusal to do business in the state altogether, reflect that this isn't a place people should be flocking to in large numbers?

As someone who intentionally chose to make my home a state where we're relatively sheltered from the most destructive extreme weather events, I'm happy that I'm in a separate insurance pool from these extremely risky properties. Keeping things somewhat localized keeps costs cheaper for those making smart decisions, incentivizing others to do the same.

I think it's quite shortsighted that we're incentivizing new development and migration to areas that are going to regularly underwater in a few decades. I understand where you're going with health insurance comparison, but at least with that - there's near universal agreement that we should be investing resources in early detection and interventions to prevent new folks from developing costly pre-existing conditions. I see very little acknowledgement of this when looking at risky land use decisions.

Wasn't the exodus to Voat largely due to Reddit cracking down on a few hate speech subs? Really narrow segment of the user base moving to other platforms vs. what's happening today.
