Stand it up on one end?

Magnifying glass + lots of typing ones and zeros.

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 you have enough money for the upfront cost, electric cars are cheaper over their lifetime.

Not starting a war is both cheaper upfront and ongoing.

Gambling destroys lives. Making gambling illegal may be controversial, but I can’t see any reason to allow gambling ads.

If you want to gamble, then it’s your own life to ruin. If you advertise gambling, then you are ruining other people’s lives.

Ban gambling ads.

Multiple independent braking systems and adequate maintenance.

A single failure may cause the escalator to stop working, but it takes 3 failures in a row to make it catastrophic. Regular maintenance catches this failures before 3 in a row can occur.

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.

Pinning the CPU clock can have certain uses.

What about showing the result that exactly matches the search query instead of a bunch of similar items?

Not too many people will tell you about the time they got coronavirus and died.

Physics Girl has another story though.

I’m in Australia. I don’t get below 200 ping. 150 would be nice.

Yeah, tell that wall to get out of your way.

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.
