Tesla S has a range of 400 km. This makes the cost 5.31 € per 100 km. An average ICE car of the same size uses, let's say, 8 L per 100 km. The cost for the ICE is then 11.2 €. Twice as much. Don't forget that: you can charge at free stations, charge at a free supercharger, and you can charge the car at night when the electricity price is lower( 25ct is quite high btw ), while the price for the petrol is always the same.
I've only learned to drive and have owned my car for a year now (I'm in my mid-30s), but I just love the engine of my petrol car starting. Often times I choose to drive with my radio turned-off just to hear the engine's sound. Mind you, is a regular 1.4l hatcchbak, nothing sporty or the like.
You have a valid point, but... anyone here misses typewriters? I didn't think so.
First of all, there was an article about Hanx Writer just the other day. Yes, there ARE people who miss typewriters.
Secondly, the word processor does countless things the typewriter cannot do, and does so with an order of magnitude more speed.
The automatic transmission does nothing a manual transmission cannot do (from the end user perspective), other than being ever so slightly less effort, and perhaps a few milliseconds faster in gearchange, which does not matter unless perhaps you are being paid for how fast you can get to the grocery store.
Freed of the tyranny of having to use your left foot for a clutch, what is it that you accomplish while driving an automatic that you could not before?
I don't miss typewriters, never having used them regularly, but they certainly have their advantages as well. If I were to take up something involving more writing I'd probably get one. I spend a lot of my writing time with paper and pen these days.
That's the thing though - it's not a mentally taxing activity once you've become accustomed to it. Listening to audiobooks is not a problem.
Driving automatic/electrics is less physically demanding, so it will allow you to more easily eat tacos while driving (which is much more challenging than eating cheeseburgers).
You can bill them? Surely you have to inform them beforehand that any further conversation about IT will be considered as a paid consultation, i.e. make a verbal agreement.
I disagree. You can reduce space usage with a logarithmic complexity. A couple tens of bytes is enough to store miliseconds until the heat death of the universe.
