Johns Hopkins University (JHU) announced on Thursday it is making tuition free for families earning less than $200,000 and will waive both tuition and living expenses for those making less than $100,000.

    my wife and I both use the 8bitdo ultimate 2c. its slightly small and better for smaller hands, but its probably the best controller for the price where i live (usa; ~$30)

    it can be difficult to hit the L4/R4 inner shoulders, so dont plan on using them unless your hands look like daddy longlegs.

    i started in january of this year because i upgraded my wife's computer. that gave me an old computer to tinker with.

    i recommend getting an old computer, installing an OS (look up thinks like truenas, proxmox, unraid... there are more and they are different; try them all out if you want to see what you like)

    then go onto youtube and search for things like " beginner" and you will get a bunch of tips/tricks/tutorials/etc. for starting out with your favorite.

    yes - thank you; this is extremely important when thinking of the future logistics of riding an electric vehicle.

    thankfully i am in southern california so its just 75°F every day, but will be very important to consider for anyone that finds themself here later <3

    I am looking for a replacement for my car due to a recent disability that made it difficult to use my right leg.

    i currently have an electric bike, and that has worked wonders in being able to get around, but i can only go ~7-10 miles away from my house - in the suburban sprawl of southern california, this isnt even enough to go to my closest friend's house.

    i feel unsafe driving (trouble pressing the brake hard enough if needed beyond one-pedal driving), and i am looking for a vehicle that

    1. doesnt require the use of my foot/feet (big problem in my toes, so no toe shifting)
    2. can carry my wife, groceries, and/or both
    3. has a range of at least 100 miles
    4. can be ridden on the freeway
    5. (not required, but would prefer) electric motor instead of gas-powered

    i had the idea of an electric motorcycle with a variable transmission and sidecar, but i have been unable to find anything like that on the market. i dont really know anything about motorcycles - i have never driven one but i am willing to learn.

    i understand my needs are a bit odd, but i was wondering if anyone had some insight or any recommendations i may not have thought of to get around.

    thank you!
