us_congress: US Congressional co-sponsorship (1973-2016)
Two temporal networks of bill co-sponsorship tendencies among US Congresspeople, from 1973 (93rd Congress) to 2016 (114th Congress). Edges are signed, indicating the presence of a significant tendency to co-sponsor, or tendency to not co-sponsor, bills. Two networks per year, one for each chamber (House, Senate). Each file contains the signed network for a chamber of congress (H = House, S = Senate) in one session (e.g. 93 = 93rd…
Why it’s important new electricity demand is flexible (e.g. EV smart charging/V2G, flexible heat pumps):
“Stimulating flexible demand by 8.3% benefits solar producers 31 per cent more than if new demand follows traditional patterns by increasing capture price for solar producers by 9.9 per cent”

Just discovered 'stdbuf' - a program in coreutils that lets you change the output buffering of a command; e.g. to force linebuffering in a pipeline of a program that would otherwise have become larger buffered, for when you want the output immediately.
We have a game when we cook something nice of estimating what it would cost if eating out (not that our sometimes wonderful creations would be available).
So we keep finding (on occasional forays out) our prices are too low. E.g. City centre, for 2: 2 plates of indifferent ravioli, a bowl of olives and 2 glasses of wine pre-theatre came to more than £80!

I saw a handful of videos online about this particular ev1. When they crushed the majority of them (they were originally only leased, never sold), they gave away a few to museums, and they gave away a few to universities with a stipulation that they never sell them. It sounds like a university stopped knowing that they owned it, had it towed, and the towing company went through the process
of legally selling it at auction. GM didn't care enough to claim ownership.

The willingness of congressional Republicans to defy Trump and back legislation requiring the disclosure of federal files on Jeffrey Epstein,
was the clearest evidence yet that G.O.P. lawmakers are starting to look beyond Trump’s tenure to their self-preservation in midterm elections next year.
There are other signs as well,
notably the refusal by Senate Republicans to bow to Trump’s demand to gut the filibuster during the shutdown fight,
and resistance in some states…

PSA about food labeling in the US
We have a gluten detection service dog because many things that should be gluten free/say they’re gluten free are not actually gluten free.
Stuff gets contaminated when growing (e.g. next to wheat field), by shared equipment, in factories, from packaging, during transport and in-store.
Every US consumer should know:
1. The list of ingredients on food isn't exhaustive
2. Allergen labeling:
a) limited to just some allergens
b) manufacturers don't actually have to test
c) "certified" foods are tested—but not continuously
d) testing only works with enough contamination
Some certifications may require batch-testing, but usually they don't.
A "certified gluten free" product may e.g. contain oats which sometimes are contaminated with gluten—but as not every batch is tested it's impossible to know unless you test yourself (hence the service dog).
Even if the product is properly batch-tested, you might get a part of the product that has the allergen in it, whereas the tested part didn't.
Or the threshold was too low (our dog can detect gluten better than any available lab testing equipment; yes, dogs are amazing).
Food products also contain ingredients that do not have to be included on the label when they're "incidental" (included in an another ingredient) or if they're considered part of the manufacturing process but not of the final product (e.g. various coatings on factory equipment).
Don't need to list flavors or specific spices either. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
As for allergens, only those responsible for ~90% of food allergies* have to be specifically declared, and they're not tested for as it's simply based on the ingredients list.
Good luck if you have other allergies.
