  • There are several types of journey.

    If you set to walk around the park aimlessly, then sure, destination doesn't matter. And plenty of fiction is built like this.

    If you set out to climp the Everest, keep talking about the summit, and then end up falling off a cliff and breaking your neck midway, the journey was a fiasco.

  • Different mains voltage. Europe Most of the world uses 240v and the US 120v.

    The formula for power dissipation is P = V²/R where V is voltage and R is resistance. So electrical kettles take more time to boil water in the US.

  • Tariffs only apply to physical goods, not services. And tariffs are usually based on origin, not seller. The physical goods those produce don't come from the US, so they are mostly safe from tariffs. We need to have a digital service tax, but that should used to finance the digital commons (e.g. foss projects), not as a trade bargaining chip.

  • Let's say you build a bridge. You build the nicest on-ramp, you put the nicest lamp posts, the nicest pavement, and the most beautiful railings in the history of bridges. And the bridge ends on a cliff. There might be some nice views on top of the bridge to nowhere, but it's a bridge to nowhere.

    That's a work of fiction with a bad ending. A work of fiction is a work, not a person, so where it leads to is very much an integral part of the work.

  • It was Nicolae Ștefănuță from the Greens–European Free Alliance which was always going to be one of the political groups more likely to support this initiative.

    We need to convince MEPs in the PES and EPP to really get a directive approved.
