Comment Re:This is also due to OTHERS buying electric cars (Score 1) 179

I drive an elderly light sedan and a modern EV regularly and the dinocar stops noticibly shorter than the EV despite having lackadaisical brake and tire maintenance. The EV has monster acceleration but its weight (roughly 2x) makes stopping the victim of physics.

The EV has antilock brakes and 20+ years newer tech but still needs more room to stop! Normally it doesn't matter. I don't touch the EV brakes very often - usually once a month to keep them from rusting up. I drive single pedal using motor braking unless there is an emergency.

Nobody reads them! Its just other ai bots scrounging for bits for articles!

No seriously the young people don't read already all that much. This makes it very hard for them to actually absorb information from text and with the articles on offer starting to be more and more lenghtened with ai they're even less likely to start reading.

How do they learn then? they don't thats how we get university graduates who can't learn how to use excel.

I don't understand your attitude. What else are you doing while standing there at checkout? I marvel at the folks who stand there doing nothing while the cashier rings everything up, then stand there doing nothing while the cashier bags everything up. If I'm at a staffed checkout I will bag things up myself and be out the door a couple minutes faster. Sure I am "doing work" but it ends up costing me less time and I am helping keep their margins which lowers cost for everyone. I do self checkout when available and am quite efficient at that. I help keep prices down, spend less time at the store and see it as a win-win.
