It depends on where you live, but in most places, even the most expensive rapid charger is still cheaper than fuel. That’s not even including the lower maintenance costs of EVs.
You do miss out on the convenience of home charging, and that is a pretty big deal for most people. The best part about an EV is waking up to a full charge every day and never having to stop to fill up.
If you have enough money for the upfront cost, electric cars are cheaper over their lifetime.
Not starting a war is both cheaper upfront and ongoing.
A lion and prejudice.
Multiple independent braking systems and adequate maintenance.
A single failure may cause the escalator to stop working, but it takes 3 failures in a row to make it catastrophic. Regular maintenance catches this failures before 3 in a row can occur.
If any of the stairs are damaged and cannot stay attached correctly, there is a chance of falling into the machinery below, which will not stop just because a human is in the way.
If the failure is in the braking system, it can quickly turn into rapidly moving stairs, which can be very lethal.
Most escalators have multiple independent braking systems so that this doesn’t happen, but some poorly maintained escalators have been discovered with 2 or even all 3 systems disabled.

Yeah, tell that wall to get out of your way.

Why a sphere? Why not a torus?
The exe was flagged immediately, even before running. I did not feel like running the batch script to be certain.
The exe had absolutely nothing harmful. It didn’t interact with any files or do anything with drivers. It was entirely self contained.
I don’t remember exactly what it was, but it can’t have been any more complicated than a game of snake in a terminal.
C#. The language made by Microsoft.
I wrote a program (not a virus) on my computer. Windows deleted the exe immediately after I compiled it because it was “an unverified application from an unknown source”.
It didn’t bother deleting the batch script I downloaded from an email that would delete all files if run. Apparently that one was fine.

The square app will not run on a phone that has developer mode enabled. I turned developer mode on to disable annoying animations, so now I can’t take card payments unless I carry around a second phone.
If Google goes through with this, my payment phone won’t be able to run any third party apps.
I saw this elsewhere on Lemmy. It’s now my favourite.
Australia almost did this right with the National Broadband Network.
Unfortunately, it was then sabotaged by the government after an election changed the majority party.
It seems to be back on track after wasting an extraordinary amount of time and money by installing copper lines, just to completely replace them with the fiber lines that were in the original plan.
Are they going to sue to operating system owners next? What about the web browser that offers the steam installer download?
Magnifying glass + lots of typing ones and zeros.
