If we manage to make that jet fuel from anything else but fossil energy that should do. The only issue is that the CO2 emission up there has so much more impact, but I think we should be able to manage if we have the rest under control.

The test offer can be pretty useful: https://www.bahn.de/p/view/bahncard/ueberblick/probebahncard... (It's important to cancel immediately though.)

Do you have a BahnCard? How much in advance did you book? Currently you can go to most places with 30-50€ if you play it right.

Still, we want people to fly less and substitute for train wherever remotely possible (since climate). So I don't agree.

Just like with flights, you have to book early enough and check different times, and then additionally get the discount cards, and then you're looking at comparable prices quite often.

In the case of Europe that would actually lower biodiversity. The land has been cultivated for so long, and mostly with low intensity, that nature has adapted pretty well. There are many plants and animals living in the hedges, stone walls&

Folding bikes are becoming more and more popular lately. You can take them without a ticket or restriction, which is nice.

The connections actually go to the top of mountains as well, you can buy a ticket from Munich to the top of Zugspitze for example.

I don't think this era is going to last much longer. Something has to give if we want to make any headway on climate goals, and increasing air travel prices is one of the more obvious steps. Right now train travel is cheap if you plan

Is there something like THW in the US? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technisches_Hilfswerk The only thing they don't do is the physical security.

There is still a surprising amount of plastic bags left even if you eliminate the ones for carrying. The bag toilet paper comes in, for example, works pretty well.

Here we use the big hiking backpacks for a big purchase. How would you even carry those amounts in plastic bags? You plan these trips, so you bring enough bags with you.

The problem is that many of the rules absolutely do not make sense for cyclists. It seems to me that for rule-following of motorists there is a correlation with rule quality as well (compare different countries). This is not an excuse but a

In Europe, some of the nightjet lines take cars as well. I think this is a great solution. If the travelling takes too long, just do it overnight. So travel times from 9pm to 9am are actually quite convenient. https://en.wikipedi

I still see far too many sites which want me to opt out of 100+ trackers individually. I usually just leave. Thanks for hindering my procrastination habits I guess.

Does that rule contain a definition of 'platform'? I probably cannot just change the name every 3 years, can I?

Buy plane tickets obviously. I wonder what would happen if people actually did that.

If you then proceed to wall all the surroundings as well and basically build a feudal fiefdom I'd say it's time for a revolution. When you become big enough to be the system you lose the priviledges of being part of the system

So is there another search engine for techies? Just today I had to ask Google Scholar for a lot of things since Google itself was completely useless. So it's not like it can't be done. Maybe that's the way going forward, one

We are already seeing the Chinese air pollution go down in the data. It's still insanely high, but the peak was reached ~2015 (I think) and decreasing very slowly. They actually reached a regime where more reduction can increase the po

When a company gets that big, powerful and influential it can't just do whatever it wants anymore. From a European perspective I'd say this is an issue of freedom for society.

Some ads are intrusive in the way that they highjack my thought processes. I'm reading about hard-drives, I don't want to think about science fiction right now, and vice versa. So unobtrusive also means matching the content in spi

I actually don't really block ads, I block tracking and by-default scripting (I whitelist pages), plus enforced https. That gets rid of almost all of the ads. If they can't give me ads without these things, their problem.

I can't find the numbers right now, but if the child is a girl the probability of her having children at all are substantially higher than for a boy. (Of course, the boy can have more, but historically many didn't have any.)

I'm also slightly annoyed at sequential series. It means that when I find one of the books in the library or second-hand bookstore it's basically useless, even when it is the first one and especially when it is out of print. I mig
