Space tends to be at a premium for cruisers, and modern cruisers are increasingly embracing electricity for powering everything. Charge efficiency is a big one, but it's also just maximizing energy capacity in the available volume.

On a long enough timeline, especially with more energetic atmospheric conditions, isn't it possible for the land to redistribute itself more uniformly from the various forms of erosion to the extent that it's all submerged?

#1 would be wonderful except that by offering #2, the vehicle will ship unfinished with the only tested functionality being the update mechanism.

Not all cultures are obsessed with sheltering their children from the full gamut of life and emotion. The story is about a young person faced with adversity, it's age appropriate and prepares a child reader for what lies ahead.

Right, everything sold in a bar environment needs enough margin to offset the overhead of dealing with people at their worst behavior.

As cycloptic mentioned, journald is one of the few tightly-coupled components. The difference is the utilities you mention interoperate at the level of bare UNIX pipes and execv/argv. Systemd components are largely integrated via dbus

It's less worrying if you view systemd as a mono-repo containing a collection of related projects maintained in one place, one of which is PID 1 - which really should have been renamed to systemd-initd. The fact that Debian is able to

Presumably the battery+shielding sets minimum volumetric requirements, and those form factors meet them while providing easy and robust circuit integration using existing standards.

If you're on a systemd distro, one advantage is you already have systemd-nspawn. Although, on debian boxes, it's split out into the systemd-container package. Another advantage is it's somewhat integrated into the rest of sy

So is there no co2 tax paid on used vehicle purchases? I'm mostly curious how this impacts lower income folks who won't likely be able to afford a shiny new EV.

I don't know about this particular case, but it's not unusual for scenarios where an insurance or some other claim is made rendering property largely frozen / illegal to liquidate as anything but salvage. Maybe if you sit on

Is the co2 tax only applicable to imports?

$72k co2 tax! That's epic, this is how you deprecate ICE vehicles.

by newnewpdro 7y ago
ICEs won't be dead until they're difficult to find/afford to fuel and operate reliably on a daily basis. At some point it seems inevitable, but I don't think we'll be seeing gas stations closing down any time soon.
