Would Peer-To-Peer Charging Reduce Range Anxiety And Make Electric Cars Mainstream?
One of the sillier commercials for a cell phone I have seen in recent memory is some guy shaking his head in sadness that his phone is out of battery and a kindly person places her phone on his to give him a boost. They were able to use the Qi wireless charging capability to share energy with each other. This looked like a solution without a problem. If you are going to be that despondent without your phone, you bring one of those little charging packs, you bring a power cord, you are not shaking your head like you unwittingly got placed into an episode of "Alone" and have been drop... read more

Valentín, the man next to us in line as we made our way across the international border, asked what we had been doing in Tijuana.

40 Feet and a Puling
(By American Zen's Mike Flannigan, on loan from Ari) *4*0 feet. That's how close Trump's fascist goons came to getting their hands on Mike Pence. That's what came out during yesterday's January 6 Select Committee hearing in which Rep. Pete Aguilar took point. Aguilar also revealed that a Proud Boys confidential informant told the FBI the Proud Boys “would have killed Mike Pence if given the chance.” As proof, moments after Trump sent out his now-infamous Oval Office tweet at 2:24 that essentially painted a huge target on Pence's back, and that was amplified to the mas... read more

Butterflies
First they altered the BBC Style Guide to re-write the meaning of the word “gay” to mean same-gender attracted, rather than same-sex attracted, then they used red ink and a rubber to censor the testimony of a female rape victim so as not to offend her male transgender attacker, and now we learn that the BBC hired a trans organisation called Global Butterflies to train BBC staff on trans matters.
