We are in great haste to construct a magnetic telegraph from Maine to Texas; but Maine and Texas, it may be, have nothing important to communicate... We are eager to tunnel under the Atlantic and bring the old world some weeks nearer to the new; but perchance the first news that will leak through into the broad flapping American ear will be that Princess Adelaide has the whooping cough.
Sometimes the easiest way to share a file with someone in the same room as you is to send it over the internet. Not, like, through the internal network but through social media or a file hosting site. This is easier and faster than pulling out a USB stick.
So even though we are in the same room together, that file has to escape the house, travel a great distance to some company's server in a different country, and make the same trip back just to end up at nearly the same place it started.

Ha. I never thought about that.

Sometimes the old ways work best
How to React if Your EV Catches Fire
According to the National Fire Prevention Agency, if an EV ever catches fire while you’re behind the wheel, immediately find a safe way to pull over and get the car away from the main road. Then, turn off the engine and make sure everyone leaves the vehicle immediately. Don’t delay things by grabbing personal belongings, just get out. Remain over 100 feet away from the burning car as you call 911 and request the fire department.
Also, you shouldn’t attempt to put out the flame yourself. This is a chemical fire, so a couple buckets of water won’t sufficiently smother the flames. EV battery fires can take first responders around ten times more water to extinguish than a fire in a gas-powered vehicle. Sometimes the firefighters may decide to let the battery just burn itself out, rather than dousing it with water.
