Can you imagine what you can do with thermite to those cars?

Aim for the fuel tank then.
But even without a sound made by the thermite, the message can be loud and clear.

Doesn’t remove the cars, but sends a loud message.


It sure does. But we have to consider that recharging is less efficient than not spending the energy on acceleration in the first place, so heavier EVs are worse off than lighter ones; it’s not only losses from friction and heat losses - those come on top.
And you’re spot-on with the danger that comes from weight; being in an accident with a lot of kinetic energy that needs to be absorbed is not great.


I was comparing EVs with different weight and not comparing EVs with ICE vehicles, though.
And in that case the heavier EVs are less efficient than more leightweight versions even with regenerative breaking, because the process of accelerating and breaking cant’ regenerate all energy that was spent for accelerating.


That’s not that big of a deal for long-range trips, on which you typically don’t have to accelarate often.
Keeping the car going at a certain speed depends on several types of resistance, most importantly air resistance, but not really on weight.
More weight plays a bigger role for energy consumption in urban ares, where the weight needs to be accelerated more often than on the highway, the mileage per kWh is yet typically higher than on the highway due to the lower speed and less air resistance.
What I’m trying to say: I’d pick the bigger battery any time over the smaller one, if the price is reasonable.
EVs are already heavy. The weight from some additional batteries don’t play a big role.


Whether there’s “nothing to hide” is an assessment made by the fascists and not by the people giving out information.


I don’t know how to tell you…
…but that’s how the current world works in most parts.
And delayed transport is at the lower end on the scale of life ruining events.
Do I really need to bring up Epstein and the orchestrated abuse and worse?


I love this way of dealing with such a situation!
It both helps the passengers (who will still be later than without inconsiderate car parking) and teaches a lesson.
Best way to make sure there’s no weaseling out of the responsibility is to tow the car and only fork it out after an advance payment to cover the taxi costs has been made.
The driver (who maybe wasn’t the owner) has no money? Make it the owner’s problem!


I still use them, because they’re awesome.
They’re not gone, although there are quite a bit fewer than some time ago.
PostmarketOS was already mentioned.
There’s another Linux OS for phones I’m aware of: https://sailfishos.org/
