I'm not denying that rail service quality has gone down the drain in Germany. The foolproof transportation is to take a bicycle.

Germany is a dense country with a developed rail network, you are never far from a train station. Bear in mind that this includes also city transportation, which makes it a great deal. My gripe with the ticket is that traveling with bikes i

Your comment hits home, I come across this reasoning a lot at work. I propose to improve a part of the product, something for most users. And I usually face a littany of "yeah but it will not solve this guy's edge case so it is n

I guess you have no child. Please read again, it is 16 weeks for woman, and 2 for men. Talk about equality. I got a measly 10 calendars days (Saturday and Sunday included) for my child, that was before Macron. And, you are not paid for your

The norm is enforced, it's just that it is not the needed norm. I see it more as missing a sound authority stopping the fight of siblings. I'm surprised noone is seeing an analogy at work. I switched teams recently, from an engin

Probably not a lot when in the same city you have two huge tech companies. You would be crazy to go to Boeing

I read the book on GE, Lights Out: Pride, Delusion, and the Fall of General Electric. I guess many things apply to Boeing too.

Do they have the right? I was stopped by German police many times and they asked me to search my car every time, which I complied. However one time I was stopped, one policeman was speaking to me while I was in my car, and his colleague sta

No, it really is cheaper to rent Airbnb instead of hotel. We are a family of four and I did the math several times. A couple years ago we were five, it was more difficult to find a suiting place. You also have the added convenience of maki

Well, no, AC is more lethal, also it contracts the muscles more easily. The high voltage ranges are different between AC and DC, with AC being lower than DC range due to the higher risk.

As in understand, German played a minor role in the design in Airbus, for example the flight controls were designed in Toulouse by french engineer. However they have more responsibility in designing the production system and assembly line.

Congrats on the author. I've lost 18kg over a year, but reached a plateau. I'm now trying to gain muscles to be able to burn more kcal per day. On a side note, the article started in US customs (pounds), and then uses kcal for mea

I saw the picture, I agree it is not nice, but other airlines facing the same issue simply sent their a350 to Toulouse to be repainted by Airbus under warranty. It seems Qatar Airways didn't accept this proposition. See https:/&#

Well, that's the Qatar side of the story. Only qatari regulators decided it was a safety issue, no other regulator deemed it a threat. The decision was coincidentally taken at the height of COVID when noone was flying (2021). It was ob

Great machine, my parents have it, they love it and I love it. Still, I pondered about buying one too, but at 160€ it was a tough sell because we barely make 2 toasts a week. In the end I took a Russel Hobbes made in china for half the pric

it is not controversial, that's how it works in France at least: only you or authorized employers can access your criminal records. I guess it must be common in other european countries.

I never understood the reason behind these messages, is it because they think everyone is dumb ? In continental europe messages are meant to forbid stuff, it is rare to see a "mind the gap" message.
