as a european who visited the US a while ago, the "fake happiness" as i called it was very offputting to me. Like, people working dead-end service jobs act way to happy even when they have no reason to be happy. it seems so forced

The trouble with their limited influence has mainly to do with the fact that the political capital to lead european parties take the lead (instead of national ones) is something which is currently political suicide among many politicians.

Also, most of these nations defaulted because of vast political and societal changes. (russia has defaulted many times on it's debt thanks to the soviet revolutions and dissolution of the USSR for example).

Also, the current US policies actually make it politically viable in (especially europe) to think about a tighter integrated defence mechanism. (See PESCO[1]). This will lead to less US defence and thus influence in other countries on the l

Brexit has little to do with the EU's stability, and more with the stability of the UK political system. Let's not forget that the EU is not a nation-state on the same level as the US, but a supranational type of goverment. (and c

The scale itself doesn't really matter, considering they simply represent temperature. Heck, if we all grew up using kelvin we would have no pratical problems with it.

Also, the big car manufacturers have a huge head start in terms of actually producing a very large volume of cars across the globe. If toyota decides they can make a yaris or aygo as a purely electric vehicle, tesla will be nearly unable to

KNX can do basically anything you want from a building (including HVAC, security systems etc), but is just very, very expensive. Also, most software server front ends for it are horrible. I am actually wondering if building a relatively che

the internet connectivity requirement is silly, especially if you want to build a long term system. This guy has a great youtube channel[1] which documents how he builds his home automation system (in house). Would highly recommend watching

90% of the functionality one reasonably wants from their home automation systems comes down to basically some descrete logic and some sensory input. 1) automatic lighting depending on occupancy. (this has existed since the 80's) 2) ti
