  • 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 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.








  • It feels pretty easy when all you have to do is observe and give occasional instructions.

    Most people are pretty bad at guessing the amount of effort someone else needs to complete a task.
    Most people also have enough empathy to ask how much effort it was instead of telling you what they experienced and assuming it was the same for you.

    Unfortunately, some people will still think a headache is painless because they are not the one experiencing it.
