complains that email is unreliable and mail is too expensive

wants deliveroo to take over registered mail delivery

Nope. Nope, nope, nope.

If you think €10 is a lot, find out what it costs to serve someone.

The entire premise is built around the idea that the spot is reserved for charging. If the charger is broken, the simple answer is that nobody can park there, not that laws cease to apply and the spot can be ICEd.

The sidewalk is for walking and doesn’t have anyone walking on it, so I parked there.

We haven’t solved the problem of phishing, which makes this a very dangerous scenario.

Email delivery has never been designed to be reliable. It is utterly absurd to suggest email should be a substitute for registered mail, but unfortunately laws aren’t written by technologically competent individuals. Your situation, of course, is one you have created entirely by your choice and typically email delivery is very reliable - but the technological underpinnings absolutely are not.

€10 for a registered mail is not extortionate. It is a reasonable price for the service, which also serves the necessary low barrier that prevents abuse.

Next year bro, I promise. Just one more winter, bro.

Just checking, Germans still are building coal plants instead of nukes, right?

The Obama admin enabled a lot of the stuff that is happening today either through keeping programs running or actively establishing or growing the program, which is behaviour that is reprehensible but expected from lawmakers who answer to industry and love power.

And nothing of value was lost.

It is slightly ambiguous because if it is labelled as “for EV charging” and you have an EV parked there and it is not charging, you are supposed to vacate the spot. So - if the charger is broken, the spot should be vacant. I can’t see parking enforcement being able to really handle that though unless there’s a connection between charger and enforcement.

But in that case, an ICE vehicle should still never park there.

It’s akin to delivery-only parking on a bank holiday. You still can’t park there even though the shop is closed.

Is it charging parking or EV Parking? From an enforcement perspective, the space should stay as EV parking because it’s much simpler. ALPR is used commonly for parking enforcement and it’s not worth the hassle to reprogram it based on the status of the charger. In no scenario does it make sense that an ICE vehicle can park there.

If the space is reserved for vehicle charging, that needs to be clearly signed. If it is for EV parking in general then this conversation is moot. Unless there’s a sign, there is no way to determine that the space is reserved for a repair technician - or even if the charger is working. Changing street parking rules based on whether a dongle is working is problematic.

When I need to come across as someone from marketing or HR. The silliness works out in my favor then

That’s kinda sticking their neck out. It’s corporate, but at least some companies have balls. Sideeye at Tim Apple, who just wants to kiss the ring.

There was a city in Europe which reduced weather related accident hospital visits by a significant amount by prioritizing side streets over arterial routes. I imagine the results would be extended by (after creating in the first place of course, may John Forester rest in piss) maintaining bicycle paths in priority over cars.

Yes, but if you put away 5 keto protein balls (10g protein, 30g fat) you’re eating a lot of calories that 10g protein, 20g carbs (including fibre) wouldn’t provide. My point is that just putting the label on it doesn’t make it conducive to your goals.

That’s before we get into “keto” products with 30-50g carbs per serving.
