small scale solar like this is quite inefficient compared to grid-scale stations.

grid-scale generation is much more effective, both in cost and generation efficiency.

Can you explain a bit better on the magnitude of these differences and why they exist? Thx

Because, as I walk through the city, it is 10x more common to find an e-scooter blocking the sidewalk than an SUV?

Or, maybe, because SUVs do not go at 25kph in walking areas?

I can absolutely agree with this…

to be clear about what’s a real problem, and what’s not. (…) Pick up trucks and monster SUVs are -the- a problem and we need a public debate about those 3-4% biggest cars, the space they claim and the danger they pose.

EDIT: My city has specific, identified and plenty spaces for e-scooters. Either the rental e-scooters break down (too) frequently, or (some of!) the users of those are assholes that abandon them at random.

I’ll take your word. Thanks

Except your comment and the post seem to exist in different frames of reference.

The first advise is get expert help.

Find a civil engineer or a structures engineer and ask them.

That crack does not look good. If I remember correctly cracks with more than 1mm gap should not be ignored.

If you don’t want to follow any of the previous advise, carefully monitoring for movement on the crack on a medium to long timeframe is, IMHO, the most irresponsible you can be.

Great post! Thanks for this.

Somehow I always think of the migrant boats crossing the Mediterranean. I hope events are unrelated.
