  • ICE motorbikes are a lot of things, but they're far from efficient, unless you're referring to low power bikes which use around 2l/100km (120 mpg).

    Anything at least slightly sporty uses about 3 times as much, which brings it into small car territory (while being smaller and weighing considerably less).

    By comparison, electric motorcycles use about 40 to 50% of the energy that an electric car needs. Motorcycle ICE engines are optimized for power in a small package, not for efficiency.

  • If that happened in Europe, that's illegal. The warranty period is suspended while your product is away for warranty repairs. Little side note, that only applies to the legal 2 year warranty protection, which is between the buyer and the seller (which is often not the manufacturer).

  • I guess that would also be a legitimate concern, as the steps are rather short. It would look a bit less sleek with longer steps, but making the steps longer while keeping the supports narrow would still look good in my opinion.

  • Of course the metal can support a person. It's not like one side is floating in thin air. The way this is constructed, both sides of each step are supported and the metal seems thick enough to support quite a bit of weight.

    The only thing that bothers me is that forward/backward motion of the steps would put a lot of strain on the connection to the wall or floor. With normal use, that motion is quite limited though.

    I'm quite confident the designer of those stairs used the right thickness for the material used, which you can't judge from a picture.

  • There are special versions for high usage locations, and those often come with a maintenance contract. That should keep the coffee flowing for all to enjoy.

    The models intended for home use probably won't last very long if you brew 100 coffees a day with them.

  • Nothing beats a fully automatic espresso machine when it comes to efficiency. Want an espresso, large coffee or any of the other things it can prepare, and it is made with the parameters you want. The only non organic waste is the packaging of the coffee beans, which isn't too bad, as they usually come in 500g of 1kg packs.

    Some even have 2 beans containers for when you want to have different flavors, and almost all have a chute for a portion of ground coffee for the occasional special drink (decaffeinated or so, for visitors for example)

    Edit: typo

  • While I agree that the price is a bit steep, there's also the fact that the userbase for Lemmy is much smaller than what it was for Reddit. To make a reasonable amount of money (in the dev's opinion), they need a higher price to compensate for the lower sales. Of course, that higher price may discourage people from laying for it at all, causing their income to be too low.

    I'm still using Jerboa myself, but checking out alternatives as well. I still don't know whether Sync is worth it for me at this price.
