There is a lot of history in this one camp and the city could have non-violently offered people even 6 months of motel or apartment and people would have moved, instead the city offered NOTHING, i have been begging reporters to not repeat the city's lies about there being "adequate safe shelter space" people have chosen to stay outside in negative 20 degree F weather rather than go into that "adequate safe shelter space" and temporary shelter is no replacement for a long-term camp
20 people were already there for a proactive defense of the camp, having coffee and talking to people living at camp—not sure if it's the trucks, but this has always been an early-rising camp even before the roosters, who had not yet crowed and GODDAMN did the city end up killing all of the chickens? Suddenly realizing that.

India has moved to digital voting at (almost) all levels and it has only accentuated the voting frauds. The localised frauds have become centralised, have enabled dictatorial ambitions. In a country of over 1.3 billion with miserable digital literacy, digital voting is being used to widen the already alarming democracy deficit.

After reading some on the EU mandate to provide a USB-C charging port, I wonder how many tech companies are only going to use it for charging and still provide other ports.
I also think that in light of USB-C issues, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB-C#Compatibility_issues , there needs to be additional wording to enforce compatibility. A new version of the standard, or a different standard. A lack of compatibility enforcement allows vendors to basically defeat the intent of the EU ruling, and leaves consumers at risk.
