They are for sure making an electric right-hand drive model. Maybe they are selling BEV only in some markets.

The fact a phone number is post paid or pre paid is an accounting distinction, unrelated to the type of connection or number. I have a VoIP (technically VoATM) number that looks like a POTS number and for all purposes is considered a landline, and is VoIP because I've fiber. I have a pre-paid contract for data and voice calls to other landline-looking phones, but is postpaid for mobile-looking phones and call abroad. For mobile phones in the old days all contracts were postpaid, but nowadays most are prepaid, because most of the bandwidth is used for data and not for voice calls, so all operators are selling prepaid packages, even for business users.

Except in Italy, there is an high speed railway between Bologna and Firenze, and between these cities there are some mountains, actually there are three railways connecting them, the first one was built in in 1850, the second one with more galleries and straightened path was built in the 1930s, and the top speed with standard coaches is 180 km/h. Newer high speed rail was built in the 2000 and the top speed is 300 km/h. Another high speed railway is built between Italy and France, the top speed is 200 km/h, because is designed to carry freight trains too.

I'm not so sure that LPG and CNG vehicles didn't get any traction. When instead of after market options cars were equipped with the extra tanks and fuel injection needed to use gas, people started to buy them and gas pumps started to sell also these fuels.
There are some big differences compared to hydrogen cars. The first one is that while you can use hydrogen in an ICE, isn't a good idea, because the combustion isn't clean, the engine will make NOx like a CNG engine. A much more sensible option is to use fuel cells and get rid of the complexity of the ICE.

I suppose also that for a 1960-1970 office complex remodelling means also to get rid of asbestos, that was used a lot in glass and steel skyscrapers for heat and sound insulation, and even in brick and reinforced concrete buildings, sheets of asbestos and tubing were used a lot .
If you don't touch the walls and the plumbing you can get away with it, but when you start to tear wall you can get nasty and costly surprises.

I remember with analogue cellphones in Europe there wasn't a SIM, but there was only one state-owned carrier, and for the first years the (car)phones were leased by The Phone Company. Then when sizes and prices come down, cellphoneas were also sold. with GSM more than one operator was allowed and the SIM was mandated as a method of easy operator change. YOu can go in a mall and buy a smartphone and then put your previous SIM, save if the size of the SIM changes, and you are ready to make call and use data. There are also Apple Stores and Apple authorized dealers that are selling iPads and iPhones but not phone contracts. I suppose that selling a phone without a sim is the dream of The Phone Company to get back to the merry time of the '80 and the monopoly with leased phones.

Old sodium lamps start to blink when they're EOL and should be replaced. On the other hand LED power supply could fail and start to strobe. The difference is that the sodium EOL is predictable where even new LED lamps could fail.

Maybe I'm an outlier. I paid my last car in cash a bit less than 10000 euro. Or more probably I live in Europe, where it's normal to buy small city cars.

Really I've seen successful tree planting schemes, some involving 7 year old with a small spade and shovel. Using the right plants and the right time of the years made the tree grow.

Plenty of grey here too. I think the big differnce between being a kid and being an adult it's time. As a kid you don't have to work and to do errands, pass time with your kids and so on. Another thing i noticed is that teacher and most educational materials are geared to kids and not for adults. Language courses and book have a different structure if meant for adults or kids.

It's a subsody to help the manufacurers of electric mopeds and bikes.
These subsides don't work very well because this make sellers increase the prices because there's more demand and people have more money to spend.
Besides, due the supply chain problems and the slowdown of new car production, used car prices are increasing, and people are postponing buying a new car, so people can cet money simply selling the used car. Just checked and a MY 2009 Fiat Panda with 80000 km is selling at 4000 euro, when the same car in 2019 was selling at 1500 euro. People with an used car are going to sell it, except if it's a not roadworthy piece of junk.

Another thing is that, to make receipts by hand they can't be a simple notebook sheet or the like in most places. One needs a special multi copy receipt book and has to have all the paper books to record the transactions.
A mom and pop shop could have some receipt book somewhere and the number of transaction it's low. A big supermarket, owned by a corporation has automated procedures and no receipt books.

If one have to add the costs door to door, high speed trains aren't so expensive, because one has to add the costs relative to go to the airport, that are higher than going to an high speed station, the fact the baggage isn't weighted, that one could buy a packaged sandwich bottle of beverage in the cheap supermarket outside the station (or even in the stations prices aren't obscene) .

It depends of the type of the dog. I agree having a pedigree dog it's expensive and normally owned by affluent people. Getting a mixed race puppy from friends is free. Vaccinations and vet are an expense, but apart that, especially small dogs are low maintenance.
I've seen people having small dogs like yorkshire terriers or the like even in social housing apartments with tiny balconies, an of course normally gutter punks and squatters are dog lovers.

Nah, they're going to standardise on a miniature fused BS 546 plug. USB-C to BS 546 miniature adapters will be sold.
