Alter, jetzt wird in München tatsächlich eine Hyperloop-Teststrecke gebaut (24 m). Laut #CSU eine "Innovation". Wir hatten in den 80ern den Transrapid erfunden, der aber aufgrund zu hoher Kosten nie zum Einsatz kam. Wenn man das damals vorangetrieben hätte gäbe es jetzt keine Probleme mit Personenfernverkehr. Mit 500 km/h Fahrtgeschwindigkeit könnte man in 2 h von Berlin nach Paris kommen während man alle Annehmlichkeiten des Zugfahrens genießt.

@grillchen sadly the main reason for the eu to exist today is economy™, things like unity and democracy kinda took a backseat
@mirabilos @mia @Rasp top one are american ? wirenuts (I haven't seen them in europe). The bottom one are Wago connectors, the best imo for joining electrical stuff.
@woodpunk also caused by capitalism encouraging cosumerism and actively fighting the #RightToRepair. (looking at you, John Deere and Apple)
@woodpunk I had to help my friend (studying CS!) to install a new light fixture in his apartment. I also think that the number of people fixing things radically decreased. In retrospect I am glad that I did a vocational training as electrician.
@Omelette yeah I wish we had a european union where every member is a federal state
@Omelette sad truth. Traveling from Germany to Madrid for instance takes 2+ days and is not really cheaper than flying.
@Omelette yeah, agreed. One thing is to just complain about public transport while never using it whereas imho "legitimate" complaints about it are valid if you travel (a lot) using said mode of transportation. And DB is sadly unpunctual more than not (looking at you, privatization).
@Omelette @robotfactory @nomaster yeah, it's about DB. german's pastime includes ranting about DB and their delayed trains.
