EVs for All: How Car Shares Are Making Electric Vehicles Accessible
Edwin Lindo used to see new electric vehicle chargers as a sign he was about to be priced out of his neighborhood. “Communities who have been historically gentrified, historically marginalized,” he says, “we don’t typically get opportunities to access beneficial technologies.”Two EV chargers are now in front of Estelita’s Library, the Seattle community library and bookstore Lindo cofounded. One can be used by anyone, the other is reserved for a rentable wheelchair-accessible EV owned by the electric car-share cooperative ZEV that costs $8 per hour to use.
The ZEV EV is used by locals for church, hospital visits and field trips. Sometimes, Lindo drives the car around and gives a ride to someone carrying too many groceries.

Elon says a Neuralink brain implant would not be expensive.
"It should start at approx the cost of an Apple Watch or a phone, so maybe $1,000-$2,000; We do have a gameplan for... the 600 second surgery. 10 minutes, you sit in the chair and 10 minutes later you have an implant.

I'm expecting the Musk database of names from swing states to get flooded with manipulations. How dare you call it "election interference"?

I changed a setting that put it in "performance" mode. Yeah, lets turn that off. Clearly that's not a thing it's ok with.
Time to #BoycottEA for their anti #Linux stance. They are full of shit by calling all Linux players cheaters.
@ea You suck, and I have requested refunds for all my EA games on steam. I recommend all #LinuxGamers do the same.

"On Monday this week, an opposition Tory MP made a speech in Parliament attacking the use of the term genocide to describe Israel’s violence against Palestinians"
"Spontaneously and under no direct pressure whatsoever, he [Lammy] agreed with the Tory entirely"
"British state’s top priority in foreign policy currently is to protect Israel from criticism over the Palestinian genocide"
Al-Manar correspondent: A very large explosion occurred in the vicinity of the Birkat Risha military site, and columns of smoke rose from its surroundings on both the Lebanese and occupied sides.
PS. What happened to IDF primary goal of liberating the hostages?

They got their training shooting at unarmed civilians from 100m away or raiding houses of Palestinian farmers.
They are not used to people who fight back and have the weapons to harm the might of Israeli army with no fear.
