It depends on where you live, but in most places, even the most expensive rapid charger is still cheaper than fuel. That’s not even including the lower maintenance costs of EVs.
You do miss out on the convenience of home charging, and that is a pretty big deal for most people. The best part about an EV is waking up to a full charge every day and never having to stop to fill up.
If you have enough money for the upfront cost, electric cars are cheaper over their lifetime.
Not starting a war is both cheaper upfront and ongoing.
A lion and prejudice.
Multiple independent braking systems and adequate maintenance.
A single failure may cause the escalator to stop working, but it takes 3 failures in a row to make it catastrophic. Regular maintenance catches this failures before 3 in a row can occur.
If any of the stairs are damaged and cannot stay attached correctly, there is a chance of falling into the machinery below, which will not stop just because a human is in the way.
If the failure is in the braking system, it can quickly turn into rapidly moving stairs, which can be very lethal.
Most escalators have multiple independent braking systems so that this doesn’t happen, but some poorly maintained escalators have been discovered with 2 or even all 3 systems disabled.

I’ve had issues with printers and printer drivers until I got a brother laser printer. It seems to just work all the time.

The exe was flagged immediately, even before running. I did not feel like running the batch script to be certain.
The exe had absolutely nothing harmful. It didn’t interact with any files or do anything with drivers. It was entirely self contained.
I don’t remember exactly what it was, but it can’t have been any more complicated than a game of snake in a terminal.

I wrote a program (not a virus) on my computer. Windows deleted the exe immediately after I compiled it because it was “an unverified application from an unknown source”.
It didn’t bother deleting the batch script I downloaded from an email that would delete all files if run. Apparently that one was fine.
