Austerity is always unpopular and is mainly directed at meeting arbitrary deficit rules that have little practical relevance. The cost is a weakened economy, people getting poorer, public infrastructure falling apart, climate goals being missed, and more. All just because beaurocrats are afraid of leaving too much debt to our children. Yeah maybe, but is that worth making everything worse?

Yeah I was confused as hell as to which is the original one and which is the new one because I didn’t know if 80cm or 15 inch is longer

Nothing matters anymore, it’s ridiculous

And will this have any impact on his campaign or his voter support? Of course not…

This prejudice is no longer valid. Chinese OEMs have been getting really good at making cars. I would recommend doing some test drives and trying to be open and unbiased about it

And those are just the party coalitions, where the different national parties that are sent from all 27 countries form groups based on common agendas

But even then, there are other options to consider first before killing, even more deciding it on your own

Sure, your young dog, who is still being trained, does something bad because of whatever reason, and instead of trying to find out why that happened and what could be done to prevent it in the future, the first solution you come up with is to kill the dog?? That’s not being able to act on tough decisions, that’s poor judgement, lack of empathy, signs of psychopathy and just being a bad person

This is amazing

Yes I agree. I went to some Diem25 events a couple of years ago (before all the recent crises) and their program for Europe did seem interesting. But this is just stupid, thanks for showing me why I shouldn’t vote for you

Replaceable batteries are coming to the EU in general, at least for portable devices, via the EU Batteries Regulation, which is in force already and requires all portable batteries to be easily removable and replaceable by the end user from 2027

I just don’t understand why not all countries are investing heavily in schools and education. Today’s kids are the future tax payers and citizens. It should be one of the most important things to invest in and yet, school buildings are falling apart, text books are either worn and outdated or massively overprized, teachers are overworked, underpaid and disrespected, staff is never enough, digitalization is nothing more than a hopeful wish because there simply is no funding to implement it, buy the hardware or hire IT experts to introduce and maintain it

Replaceable batteries are coming back in the EU though due to the battery regulation (EU) 2023/1542 which requires portable batteries to be removable and replaceable

Yes slow charging is one factor to prolong battery life. You can even go down to 5w or less. But another important factor is not having your phone charged at 100% for long durations, because at high voltage the battery degrades faster. So don’t leave your phone plugged in when it’s fully charged, try to keep it between 30 and 80% all the time for maximum lifetime

Okay, thank you for clarifying

Wait, wasn’t this due to incomplete/inadequate maintenance, where they forgot to reinstall some parts of the door support? Is this really Boeing’s fault or is the maintenance done by the airline or a third party service contractor?

What about the race against time regarding climate change?

No it has been for years. People involved in development of safety systems use this term all the time

This is actually a defined and very common term in the industry when talking about management of development processes for safety critical systems

They had to do it this way in order to comply with EU law
