I can't really figure out whether this is a game for me...

I can't handle horror...

That being said some of my all time favorite games had horror elements in them, games like Subnautica, Outer Wilds and Half-life 2.

So where on the horror scale does this rank? I heard there's a "safe" mode where the monsters won't hunt you, but does that actually reduce the horror? Or just cheapen the experience?

I know nothing about the tires on the Teslas or the non EV ford explorer, or even what tires are fitted in Norway. But the Hyundai Ioniq 5 I bought in Denmark last year came fitted with Michelin Primacy 4 tires, which are indeed EV tires.

Oh! You must be from the land of the free! I'm sorry...

Actually the flanges are only an additional safe guard. The train wheels are actually a bit cone shaped which makes then self-centering on their own, even without the flange: https://youtu.be/Nteyw40i9So

There is actually a lot of small details that make EV tires different than regular tires. Nothing that helps with particle emissions, though:

There is in fact such a thing as an "electric car tire".

Fundamentally you are correct that they are in essence just tires rated for the weight class, but there's more to it than just that.

Electric car tires are usually made with a stiffer rubber than comparable combustion cars, this is mostly to handle the additional weight, but they also stagger the tread pattern, and some have foam inside them, both to improve the noise and acoustics of them. Something that wasn't a problem when there were a noisy combustion engine running. But in an electric car you don't have the engine noise, and therefore hear a lot more of the wheel noise.

None of this help with the particle emissions, but there is in fact such a thing as an electric car tire.

Engineering Explained has a great video if you are curious: https://youtu.be/8pM9o2Ifcro

I have both bought and been given some of these "knockoff" sets, and while the resulting build. The resulting build is pretty, but fragile. The tolerances on the bricks are bad, to the point that some required a lot of force to join, and others are so loose that they can barely carry the weight of the bricks on top. I have also consistently found at least 1 brick that wasn't molded fully, and was therefore useless, with no spares. The colors are also usually quite uneven. The instructions are usually fairly easy to follow. But the build methods are bad. I often see bricks stacked directly on top of other bricks, with no interlocking, resulting in whole walls being able to easily fall over.

The knockoff are fine if you don't have the money to spend on Lego, but you really also get what you pay for.

The DuckDuckGo search engine gets it's results from the Bing search engine

Subnautica, if you want a map, you have to start triangulation and drawing

Encryption is really really hard, and avoiding some form of sidechannel attack is much much harder.

Sure key exchange also isn't trivial, but I would say that key exchange is significantly easier. Care to elaborate?

RSA doesn't scale, so if the message is large then RSA becomes unwieldy. So most encryption methods that make use of RSA actually encrypt the data with a symmetric algorithm, and then just encrypt the key for the symmetric data using the RSA key.

But there is still way way way too many ways to implement crypto wrong, which can completely compromise the security of it.
