A child got by my small long range EV would be more likely to survive than one hit by a similar weight internal combustion vehicle as mine is a car (with proper pedestrian safety) and the other would be much higher and larger.
A child still cares that the front of the vehicle is low, that it doesn't have a bull bar. A kid would be better off hit by an electric car than by a landcruiser
I'm on a visit to the wine region around Adelaide, and am staying in Willunga. The trips I'm doing need a car, and the timing would be similar and the cost higher if I had flown to Adelaide and hired a car for the month
And I couldn't have seen the painted silos had I flown
And I couldn't have seen the sights of the great ocean road had I flown

You can make good savings by not having a car at all, but that's not possible outside Sydney and Melbourne and probably Hobart
No they can't, at least not in general. The longest lived, easiest to date, life has been trees, but there's no suggestion that they'll survive climate change

I don't think you can tell a Linux from a Unix. Though in general unixes are tidier, there are Linux users with Unix style and habits that will break the style
Don't worry about long update gaps, that is just their "between basic package changes" updates. They won't change you between Apache and Nginx (web servers) within a version number, but you get all the updates for everything over that time
Unless you're running servers you won't notice the difference between different distributions' update schedules
Current Windows seems to need to reboot four times to get installed. Linux updates as it installs so it's just "reboot and eject installation media to start using your new system"
My small city wants to run its tram line one particularly difficult way just to give fast public transport for the 5000 people who work near the difficult tram stop
I was at least expecting a kerb
