Thing is, yes. Yallo or wingo or all those providers are "cheaper". But - for example in the case of yallo, you get double-natted - which means you could not really set up a home server accessible from the outside world even if you wanted to. Then, there's also the support of wingo and yallo and so on which is... Terrible. I actually ordered yallo Internet at first because I got sold on it over the phone - the next day, before anything got shipped or anything, I wanted to annul my contract because, well, I found out about their shitty stuff. I was redirected like 8 Times across 8 levels of 'support' until I got it through.

I went for init7. Day it was supposed to go up, it didn't. Phone support was competent, said everything looked ok from their end. If I was sure the problem wasn't on my end (router, settings, fiber), they could send a technician along the next day - but if the problem would end up being on my side, I'd have to pay for it. As I was sure about what I was doing, the next morning I had a competent technician in my apartment who within 20 minutes total identified the issue and fixed it (broken fiber in the distribution center). That is good support.

I am willing to pay more to support init7, because they're doing great work.

But yes, we have lots of low cost options. For example, I pay 23 bucks a month with yallo for unlimited 5g data, calls and SMS across the whole of Europe.

I mean, I can get symmetrical 25gbit/s for 777 bucks a year IN Switzerland. No limits, big ipv6 subnet, great provider. Init7.

For me it's stfu

Your calculations don't hold up. If you get a driver from a 25/75 pool, you are 25 or 75 percent likely to get that gender as your driver, no matter your own gender. So this 0.5 times is not needed.

Lucerne has a few trolley lines. They are ONLY trolley buses. The long, 3 Segment ones. Then, some 1 Segment hybrid buses that have pantagraphs. At the end of those lines, there is a longer stop where the trolley lines end, the pantagraph gets pulled down and the bus trucks along the last few stations with diesel.

Then theres just normal hybrid buses for more rural lines, and a battery operated bus that goes up and down a hill.

There's a solution for every line - you just need the proper infrastructure. The reason that we have this great pantagraph-compatible infrastructure is that, while there are a lot of trains in Switzerland, there is no metro. So in lucerne, the trolley buses work almost as a metro, with the main lines having buses every 7 minutes.

Maybe... Move closer to where you work?

Until in 5-10 years when the batteries are fucked.

That's the beautiful thing about trolley buses - they do not need a (substantial) battery. They are basically trains on wheels.

There are some places where battery powered buses make sense - for example, where I live, lucerne Switzerland, there is one bus line that just goes up and down a rather steep hill. By using recuperative braking, the battery powered bus is super efficient. For other, normal 'high traffic' lines, trolley makes so much more sense

By at some point saying 'OK, enough side quests, let's move on with the story'. I plan to replay this game multiple times, so I do not mind missing some side quests in my first playthrough.

... I'm sorry to say that was a joke, because well, capacitors like to go boom (MLCCs as in here not so much, but still).

What I do know though is that these MLCCs often dramatically change their actual capacitance with temperature, so maybe this is a sort of "temperature isolation" to keep the capacitor more stable? Honestly, no idea though.

That's an airburst capacitor!
