- lallysingh 2y agoSimilar to how a modern car, no matter the quality, won't last as long as a wagon.
- gruez 2y agoI thought modern cars have actually gotten more reliable (eg. japanese cars can easily last 20+ years) over the past few decades? By wagons are you referring to cars from a few decades ago, or horse drawn carriages from 2-3 centuries ago?
- lmpdev 2y agoHorse-drawn Car Wagons are generally are just a body addon, barely integrated into the chassis and have no impact into the lifespan of the car
- BobaFloutist 2y agoI suspect horse drawn wagons need maintenance more often than you think: Roads were much lower quality in that era, and wagon wheels and axles are a huge failure point, especially when repeatedly driven over bumpy rocks.
- seabass-labrax 2y agoLast month I visited the reconstructed stone- and early bronze-age 'Pfahlbauten' (stilt houses) at Unteruhldingen. On display, they had a wooden cart representative of the kind that would have been used at the time, along with the observation (see quote) that the entire thing could be disassembled and rebuilt under half an hour! That makes the question not so much "how long does this last?" but "how long would it take to rebuild?" Once you start adding iron tyres, springs and bearings a vehicle becomes impossible for even the most accomplished cartwright to assemble alone. > Wagenfunde, hergestellt vom Wagenbaumeister Niethammer, der aus Einzelteilen in zwölf Minuten wieder zusammengesetzt werden kann, illustrieren nicht nur den hohen Stand der Fahrzeugtechnik vor 3000 Jahren, sie bieten auch die Gelegenheit im praktischen Versuch Wendekreis, Tragkraft und erzielbare Geschwindigkeiten zu messen. p.24-p.25 at https://www.pfahlbauten.de/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/5_neue_Hauser_im_Pfahlbaumuseum.pdf https://www.pfahlbauten.de/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/5_neue...
- bonton89 2y agoSeeing this title was like a blast from the past for me. I'm remember being into overclocking in the 90s and early 2000s and electromigration being frequently discussed as a concern to be aware of. Then I can't recall anyone talking about it for about 20 years, even as CPUs started overclocking themselves based on thermal limits by default.
