Comment Re: Gas guzzling V8s don't seem like a good idea (Score 2) 384

You do not have a clue about driving an EV daily. It is a car with a good range. If you live in a remote location - which most people don't - you have the space to charge your car at home. If you can charge your car at home for most distances you are not going to need another charger in daily life. And if you do travel that far, there will be fast chargers.

In cold weather they work just fine, bit less range but still plenty.

It did happen because of Statistics. However since then statistics also show that if people use toothpaste with fluor and regularly visits dentists preventively, this measure does not add much in terms of cavity protection. It does add an increased risk of having those white spots in your teeth from fluorosis. These statistics appear to be the reason most of the EU does not need it.

Whether those other measures are in place for all groups in the population is of course a different question. Access to healthcare is very different in the US than the EU.

Your jar from 1995 might work ok java 8. It will likely not work on java 9 or 11. Removed APIs, two changes in regular expressions handling (!!!), added security checks that at least require different command line parameters, and way more.

In fact it appears that Oracle deliberately made migrating from java 8 to 9 and 11 tricky, so people would stay on 8. Then ask money for those versions.

I said, if the charging infrastructure is in place, like it is here. That means you can find fast chargers at many gas stations along the highways. There are regular chargers at public parking, lots of them in residential areas, at companies you might work at and often at supermarket parking places.

Areas without electricity... I know these do exist in remote areas in North America, unlike here in Europe. But this does not sound like this would be a problem for most people, especially if you can drive 200-250 miles after fast charging.

Nissan leafs have no proper battery cooling system. That means their batteries degrade absurdly fast. That is different for most other EVs.

It is relatively inexpensive to replace on that car: around â3500 to replace on the earliest ones, or about â7500 to upgrade to a 40kWh battery. So, could still be worth it.

The problem is that Windows 11 has strange hardware demands, meaning that people have to replace their hardware to get an upgrade. Even if their hardware is more than capable of running Windows 11 at decent speed.
This includes computers bought in 2020 or 2021, which is still very recent hardware.

The situation does not come up. These people want to quickly grab things and get out again. They are not interested at all in hurting anyone, they do not need to.

If guns would be legal, they might be carrying one themselves, making things more dangerous. They likely will not have one right now, it means just more chance of being caught.
The death by gun violence statistics in the EU and US compared show that you are not at all more safe with gun ownership, even if it might feel that way.

Just lock the door, and take care around stops in less rich countries. These night trains do not stop often.
