Rimac Nevera Hits 171 MPH in Reverse, a New Guinness World Record
Among other things, EVs make ideal cars for speeding backward.

It should be no surprise that the 1,914 hp Rimac Nevera is fast, but just how fast is pretty earth-shattering. It can do a zero-to-60 mph run in just 1.74 seconds and zero-to-100 mph in 3.21 seconds. Those records are so conventional, though. How fast can it go in reverse? Faster than any other car, if that's any surprise.

New Grand Theft Auto Game Will Have Unlockable ‘Soros DA Mode’ Where All Crime Is Legal

NEW YORK, NY — Rockstar Games has announced new details about its upcoming Grand Theft Auto installment, confirming that the new game will have an unlockable "Soros DA Mode" where all crime is legal.

"Players demand more realism in games these days," Sam Houser, President of Rockstar Games, told reporters after making the announcement. "The days of simply being arrested for committing a crime are no more. It was time to bring the GTA franchise into the new world."

Parkinson's Disease is evil. Clinical trials are ongoing. Tonight's Feel Good Story of The Day.

An anonymous reader quotes a report from The Guardian:
Marc, 63, from Bordeaux, France, was diagnosed with the degenerative disease more than 20 years ago and had developed severe mobility problems, including balance impairments and freezing of gait. After receiving the implant, which aims to restore normal signaling to the leg muscles from the spine, he has been able to walk more normally and regained his independence. "I practically could not walk any more without falling frequently, several times a day. In some situations, such as entering a lift, I'd trample on the spot, as though I was frozen there, you might say," he said. "Right now, I'm not even afraid of the stairs any more. Every Sunday I go to the lake, and I walk around 6 kilometers [3.7 miles]. It's incredible."

The implant is yet to be tested in a full clinical trial. But the Swiss team, who have a longstanding program to develop brain-machine interfaces to overcome paralysis, hope that their technology could offer an entirely new approach to treating movement deficits in those with Parkinson's disease. "It is impressive to see how by electrically stimulating the spinal cord in a targeted manner, in the same way as we have done with paraplegic patients, we can correct walking disorders caused by Parkinson's disease," said Jocelyne Bloch, neurosurgeon and professor at the CHUV Lausanne University hospital, who co-led the work.
