This does not entirely surprise me. When Tesla became well-known a significant fraction of taxi services in my country switched to Tesla. Why: a) it was cheaper to buy since subsidies for EVs, b) electricity being cheaper than fuel, and c) Tesla being perceived as luxury.

Within a couple years most taxi services had gone back to ICE cars. The Teslas had inferior build quality, and repair turnaround time was awful compared to regular ICE cars. This meant a large fraction of the Tesla fleet was idle as they were waiting to be repaired.

I wouldn't be surprised if Hertz encountered the same. It's not that EVs are bad. It's that the largest supplier of EVs in the West, Tesla, is bad and slow to repair cars.

A website where you can download paywalled scientific literature. Most scientific literature is paywalled by publishers, and costs a real significant amount to read (like 30-50$ per article if you don't have a subscription).

Scihub basically just pirates it. And has been shut down several times. But as most scientific studies are already laid with public money, scihub isn't that unethical at all.

Sigh...

Authy desktop was extremely useful when my phone broke during an international trip, and getting a new one obviously took some time due to well.. being abroad.

Yeah this sounds more like a distraction so as not to spend a single dollar extra on real measures.

Minder sterk dan in 2022, maar dat jaar daargelaten de sterkste groei ooit deze eeuw. En dat allemaal door immigratie.

That has been tried with the DoNotTrack header. Turned out servers didn't oblige by it.

Whether or not it was a plug, at the time of the incident this piece its role was basically that of a portion of fuselage.
