how big are these stores? seems like once you get to full size grocery, having an easy way to store for grabbing 100+ scanners, that are charged etc. might get a bit clustered.

you forget the absolutely fool proof back up plan. Powerstrips. Instant 500% increase in charging stations ;-)

you snark, but that’s something people don’t seem to get. We have these global targets we *need* to hit but I don’t see any of the models accounting for the politics literally reversing chunks of the progress.

the issue is you aren’t putting in 1:1 chargers at any work place. Those L2's need to turn over pretty fast or pretty quickly you can’t get a charge because the 15 chargers for 100 people are stuck waiting on a 2 hr meeting.

87 civic 4 door, 11 people.   ahh, college

the counter point is ppl renting or without home charging *should* be buying larger capacity batteries because they can’t charge as conveniently.

The thing this idea entirely ignores is the, ahem, astronomical cost of ‘gathering’ any of those defunct space junk. If we could gather these things, we’d be able to de-orbit them easily reducing the Kessler Syndrome likelihood.

yeah I chalked that much up to graphics issues lol The engineering challenges of this and the wide area of failure just seem pretty extreme.

Just a matter of delicately grabbing a multi-ton payload at Mach 12.

Jalop has heard your input idea. All stories will now be slideshows.

CostCos return policy is one of the best.  Be curious how that translates to cars...lol

You really should give Mastodon a look.  FAR less drama, lots more substantive convo’s.   No ads at all, no forced content from influencers.

or he’ll literally use a different color on purpose to ‘stick it to the man’, thus making the ‘standard’ less useful - purely out of spite.

This is one of those major under recognized problems with at scale systems. There’s literally no training, or training REQUIREMENT, for ‘new’ and quite significant functionality for multi ton moving killing machines.

using the parking brake allows them to be even better!

Driving is a *privilege* not a right.

assumption of body condition may be overstated

that would be that BOB stripped the damned screws. Yes BOB is the genius who rushed this. It’s all BOBs fault.

funny.  The roads nearby aren’t built for the traffic so, uh, enjoy the gridlock!

Obligatory - with this you can bypass secondary border screening with flying colors
