Reminds me of an old joke:
- Doctor, it hurts every time I do this
- Well, don't do it then

What i am trying to say is that your problem might not be the EBS, but the way you drive - too fast and without keeping the distance.

That would make the charger infrastructure horribly expensive, the charging cables as thick as an arm and considerably heavier, and losses with the resulting waste heat also much higher.

Not a billion dollars of sales, actually. The amount of gear sold would cost a billion at MSRP.

Airbus is not happy about this shit show at Boeing either. Being a monopolist in the EU is not a nice position to have. And besides, Airbus is already manufacturing at capacity and so are their suppliers.

The amount of his political prisoners beats every soviet ruler except stalin, though.

Well, if the law in question is whatever comes to his mind, then yes, he has strengthened the rule of law. Otherwise he uses the constitution and the laws of the country as a dick wipe.

Heh, my Thinkpad X201 must be 12 years old by now. And in fact it used to be an X200 from 2010 or so until I have replaced the motherboard. If Theseus had a laptop, this would be it.

The actual problems we Germans have is that we tend to copy all the bad habits existing in the USA and this is a prime example.

Creating fast growing startups and paying wages that would rather be at home in Silicon Valley is as un-German as it gets.

The Soviets did not have a first strike policy. What policies russia has or hasn't is up to a senile dictator, because unlike the USSR with its one party dictatorship with dozens of decision-makers, russia has a straight top-down chain of command where loyalty to one single person is the only thing that counts.

Domestic flights in the EU are not that common - with a notable exception of the Nordic countries. I suppose most of the EU simply copied the Monteral Convention statutes into their national passenger aviation laws so the same rules would apply for domestic flights as well. I know for sure my country did.

What did happen, though, was the airlines adding a lot of buffer time to their timetables so the flight that used to take 90 minutes is now scheduled as a two hour flight.

Both the EU and the USA have signed the signed and ratified the Montreal Convention, hence the lost baggage protection is more or less the same.

Not just these days. Since Mehdorn.

Compared to DB, SBB is great.

There is no need that go that far back. The current hamas political leader is on the record being happy about his sons dying in an Israeli airstrike since that made them martyrs.

Some Israeli politician said once something along the lines of "this war only ends when the Palestinians start loving their children more than they hate Israel".
