Since it's an airline flying between the Netherlands and the Dutch Caribbean, I doubt there's a big demand for the "business" seating at the front of the plane. All they've done is rebrand it.

I've seen it, but I'm worried I won't get 5 years' use from it, if the screen cracks along the join.

That's OK. The farmer, supermarket or whatever who can more efficiently transport their goods will have a small advantage.

I've had the same email from Slack. My phone is 5½ years old. It works fine, so I don't want to replace it, but even more than that it's small — 148x73mm. There are no other decent Android phones of a similar size! (I have

Britain used to have Paym, which would have made the process simple — except the banks never promoted it for business use, and barely promoted it for individual use. In Denmark we have MobilePay, and similar systems exist in several other c

Liechtenstein, Norway and Iceland are EEA members, and roaming is fine for those. Switzerland has its own arrangement, and the roaming deal doesn't apply. Andorra, Monaco, the United Kingdom, the Faroe Islands, Bosnia, Serbia, Kosovo,

It's the nearest statistic I could find — anything more is up to you. You won't find the statistic you want for Europe, as transformers don't explode enough for them to listed separately to any other fault.

Houses in the UK are connected to a single phase, but a three phase supply is available if it's needed — the cable is in the street, though digging a new trench to connect to it is often costly. Larger users are presumably connected

Electric showers are a result of low quality, cheap-as-possible housing. I've seen them (my parents have one) in the UK, and lower income countries in South America, Asia and Africa.

For some statistics, "U.S. electricity customers averaged seven hours of power interruptions in 2021." [1]. At first I couldn't find equivalent European statistics, until I changed my search to "minutes", which is h

Britain solves this with fuses inside appliance plugs. The continental European system doesn't really solve it, as far as I know, so you have thicker wires on low power appliances than you would in the USA.

"Rarely ever" and "when they do" suggests this happens more often than "I've never heard of this as a thing" here in Europe. With higher voltages, fewer transformers are needed. Power lines are buried, and

Many European cities compromise, by running trains overnight on Friday and Saturday nights, but using only buses on Sunday-Thursday nights. (Tokyo seems not even to have buses running at night, which is really strange.)

Wine is at the extreme end, but the subsidy is to preserve food security and jobs in rural communities. It applies to a wide range of agricultural goods and basic products of those goods (cheese, wine etc).

The people who have been rammed by a car can't contribute to this discussion as they're dead. It's around 10-20 every year in San Francisco. It looks like there was one pedestrian death caused by a cyclist in around the last
