Recently our county sheriff put out an Amber Alert (a forced alert on all mobile devices) but the obfuscated link resolved to Twitter.

I wonder what portion of the public saw the Twitter login page and just closed the tab, never to see the details of the child abduction.

Reggie immediately chooses violence and Betty is so ready to conspire.

I think homelessness and despair cause mental illness and substance abuse. If we can prevent "normal" people from losing their homes, I think they would be more stable and able to take care of themselves long term.

I rented a Bolt EV from Hertz once. The car was fine, but the charging stations in the area were mostly broken, or they required downloading an app and giving personal information to charge.

I got the feeling the charging networks are all about collecting government incentives and the sale of private information from subscribers, and not at all about service.

My new preferred rental car is no rental car at all.

Ohm my god, right‽

I enjoyed the humor, but the OP did set a boundary of [serious].

BYD has a factory in California where they make electric buses and commercial trucks.

I think ebike, scooter, etc. usage will increase even more if we mod infrastructure to be safer for everyone.

A lot of Brazil is in the tropics, so no, not winter kinda latitudes.

But Brazil also extends to something like 33° South, where winter starts in June.

Is porn intake measured in sieverts or mW/cm² or what?

What level is considered safe?

Asking for a friend.
