Yep. I've lived in several countries, and from what I've seen, there's more cultural heterogeneity between many EU towns that are 100km or more apart in the same member state than there is across almost all of the US - not in

The US is still a nation. American culture is arguably far more homogeneous now than at any point in it's history. The difference now is that everyone is able to see what remains of the differences between different groups of people, i

Same experience. The infrastructure simply isn't there yet in most towns or cities. Those who think otherwise forget that a large number of people in OECD countries don't own their own parking spots or have the legal right to run

Consider what will eventually happen to European auto suppliers. Electric cars use significantly less parts. There are less things that need to be made, and they require significantly less people to make them. Electrification will take long

My guess: Short term, maybe. Sales projections for electric cars in Europe are likely... optimistic. Long term, yes (Northvolt and other competitors), because markets are fairly efficient at generating sufficient supply given a long enough

Grind retention is : / I use a Rancilio MD 80 that I picked up for 80CHF. The guy I bought it from didn't know what he had. It's as large as my Gaggia, but grind retention be damned, I'm not giving it up.

It's the hardware. You can pick up 1kg single source raw beans for anywhere between $8-$20 USD depending on your interests. Roasted, these will taste better than anything you'll buy in a store and will almost as good -> better
