It seems, to me, that electric vehicles are about making the rich feel better about themselves while saving them money.

What do you need for an electric vehicle? 1. the money to buy a new car, 2. your own home to install an electric charger and solar panels.

You renting? Can't afford a brand new car? Can't get solar panels installed or an electric charger? Don't even have a garage and need to park on the street 10 minutes' walk away? NO SAVINGS FOR YOU! NO GOVERNMENT INCENTIVES FOR YOU!

Green policies are all about giving free money to rich people who already have money. And the poor get nothing in return. Because it isn't really about the environment, is it.

I'm always astounded people plaster arable land with solar panels. Just because you may not be farming it right now doesn't mean that growing grass or trees aren't making their own contribution to the globe.

Absolutely the only places solar panels should be installed is on rooftops, concreted areas, and desert. Anywhere the sunlight does not have a useful purpose.

Anywhere anything biologically benefits from sunlight should not be covered in solar panels.

On the topic of beaming power from space - this is a colossally stupid idea. Why is their opposition to nuclear power? Because when something goes wrong it goes really, really wrong. Imagine a concentrated beam of power, Gigawatts of it, beamed to the wrong spot on earth from space - it would be a disaster - perhaps uncontrollable. And who is to say it wouldn't upset the Ionosphere or have other unintended effects.

Putting huge solar farms in the desert is the best idea, then using it to split water using hydrolysis into unlimited near-free shippable hydrogen exported to countries around the world.

Once again the fantasy of a space project clouds the minds to a more practical and environmentally friendly reality.

It is beginning to not even matter if we sandbox our browsers. Industry has moved on to apps where they can get you to execute whatever they want on your most personal device, the mobile phone, which has utterly terrible sandboxing (that contact list is literally shared by every single app).

I can't find a bank any more that requires you to use their app for anything other than the most basic services - such as even contacting customer services - which they refuse to provide on their website.

Industry is forcing you to use their app for a very good reason: they control you. The era of being able to protect ourselves against nefarious websites running dangerous code or sharing private data over shared cookies is over. Because companies are no longer providing useful websites when they can regain control and invade your privacy with apps to which you're stupid enough to give all the permissions they want.

People have forgotten it's fun to charter an accountant, and sail the wide accountancy?

Is 65 miles supposed to be a problem? If you're charging at home, your nearest charger can be 100, 150, even 200 miles away and you'll probably be fine.

Also, BTW, be careful to compare weight fuelled vs unfuelled (same for BEV but quite different for ICE). "Kerb Weight" may or may not include a full tank of gas depending on who's asking. ðY(TM) ... and/or counting passengers, and/or cargo.

"Gross Vehicle Weight Rating" is probably the most correct comparison if you were trying to determine "ability to break the road / car-park" and is probably even closer than Kerb Weight.

It's what Kevin would have wanted.
Dammit, it's already up to 2605. 5 people didn't get it, or had no self-control. :-(

The obituary site currently says:

NOBODY ELSE IS ALLOWED TO LIGHT ANY CANDLES!

The UK *IS* part of EU now, or not? ;-)

Try Jed.

It's like someone decided they wanted the emacs editor, with all the same keystrokes, but without the operating system, and FFS write it in C instead of LISP.

Also, BTW, I love when someone proudly lists all the BASH key combinations they use, but then tell me they use vi and can't stand emacs :-O

Honestly? I have over 3500 tabs (no, not kidding) and I know of no other browser that would even consider working under those conditions. ðY

I assume you know about the F-150 Lightning?

Or trade in your BMW for a BMW EV if you prefer.

What sort of psycopath expects to drive 500km without one or two 20-min stops for a pee, coffee, snack, stretch your legs?

If you were a commercial driver, those breaks would be LEGALLY MANDATED anyway!
