Yeah. Maybe solar? But it's energy intensive. I sort of imagined these hypothetical folks were very wealthy and could afford tenders and the like to bring them food and fuel.

True, especially big community well situations. We're the only ones on our well, though.
In the US. I feel the same about our well water. Completely untreated and so good.
Oh, rog! I misread that. I've seen a bunch of mixed BS, so hard to say.
That functionally is a ghost gun in the US because only the lower is registered. Everything else is off the shelf, theoretically untraceable bits.
There was a video of a system like that for Chinese taxis making the rounds not too long ago.
Would be sweet.
Fast swapping batteries is probably the distance racing solution.
They should remember without reminders, but do they? The number of people who only seem to remember cheap gas is appalling.
For many, it would be making them more community-minded and responsible as younger kids. The combo of rarely being held accountable for mistakes or failure to meet expectations (basically, gentle parenting) and a social education from algorithmically curated content feels like it's been a major factor in developing their social/political attitudes.
Referenced in a lower comment, but that loss of a meet and hangout place is often called a "third place," as opposed to work or home. The show Cheers is a depiction of a third place in that it's a place where "everybody knows your name" and the norm is staying and chatting, not spending a few bucks and running out.
There are some interesting suppositions about how this loneliness became more and more endemic with the decline in bowling leagues. People, men in particular, just have fewer regular hangout activities and so get more and more lonely. Things like bowling leagues, lodges, and the corner bar all were meeting spots to socialize and they have declined or morphed over the years, losing their original social role.
