Why can't you have trams travelling at 80km/h? That's around the max speed of some of the trams used in Europe.

Does the word 'good' have a different meaning in the US? Your car manufacturers barely manage to compete in the segment protected by the chicken tax tariff... Some do a decent job …

The banking situation is like an MVP of the real thing. You can't easily get a mortgage in another country, some of the banks can't even serve you in English, etc. As for taxes, in…

If you listen to someone like Stoltenberg speak, you will find that he is very clear about NATO's commitments. No "each country would decide how much help", that kind of thing come…

Contrary to what some Americans think, Europe is not culturally homogeneous. The countries themselves tend to be, with some exceptions, but they do differ from each other, sometime…

Want to have your mind blown? The systems Americans call single payer are not all the same. And it's not a silver bullet either. The rest of your talking points is a little out of …

I don't get takes like this. What are you even suggesting? More friction on moving from one place to another? Most rural US problems seem to come from unwillingness to build higher…

EU citizens mostly don't think in English at all... In most languages you would call someone who moves abroad an emigrant or something similar. From the point of view of the new co…

Keep in mind Germany had to deal with the Soviet threat at the same time. Sadly, the communist influence there will take a few more decades to stomp out. Things seem to have worked…

Paying for incoming texts and calls is not common outside the US. When you call or text someone, you pay the fee listed in your contract (not theirs). That is to say, the sane syst…

Maybe the author just mangled the quote? It sounds like the context was preventing COVID transmission, it even mentions masks. One can reasonably say that the CO2 sensor doesn't di…

Qingping Air Monitor Lite is decent and costs even less than the Awair. It doesn't measure VOCs though.
