Cache of old coins in Welsh field are 2,000 years old โ and may have been buried by Roman soldiers
I went two wheels! My moto gets excellent fuel economy without the use of exotic metals like a hybrid or EV does. It was also way cheaper to buy than a car. Sometimes my parking is less of an impact, too because I can park in the landscaping islands in some parking lots if it's busy and I'm sneaky about it. One must be a very diligent and defensive rider and wear protective gear when riding. Having a different perspective about traffic flow helps with safety as well. Going slow for a bit after a stop while everyone else rushes ahead is a great way to keep traffic away from oneself. Also, having all the lights has helped everyone see me. No more cars pulling in front anymore. Don't be an arse, be extremely vigilant, and respect the machine. These rules have helped me so far. Many motorcyclists don't do that and have really skewed statistics and perception, I think.

I would wonder about shared loads on the mains causing undesirable power factors or other electrical noise. I'd check that the mains frequency remains within specification as well: 50/60Hz ยฑ 3Hz according to APC.
I was going to if someone else hadn't!
Mechanical fuse. Typically composed of shear pins or can be geartrain shafts manufactured with intentionally thinner cross-sections placed at strategic points. A plastic cog in some power tools serves a similar purpose.
l'll speak up for airplanes, or at least airliners in particular. I concede the point they mostly burn non-renewable fuels, but they make excellent use of the resources. Rhetorically speaking, one can cross half the planet in half a day, for not much money, in a mode of transport that is the safest on the planet (typically an order of magnitude safer than cars as I recall).
Draught. Seems we've already respelt it as "draft".
Remember the Cant!
While stopped, keep it in first gear and hold the clutch. Plan an escape path ahead of time and park at a slant if you have to. Using your mirrors, remain vigilant of traffic approaching from behind. Safe rides! ๐๏ธโ๏ธ
