  • While high speed trains reach speeds up to around 350kmh ordinary trains reach speeds up to around 250kmh.

    So while high speed trains can go about 50% faster than ordinary trains the price tag for building and maintaining is many times more expensive compared to ordinary railway.

    So let’s start maintaining the railways we have and build more. Making sure that it’s possible to go from point A to point B safely and in time

    Then we start building high speed railways, connecting major cities.






  • Unfortunately this is coming and a majority of people are going to happily step on to the train.

    Think of it like this: 99% of all apps could have been just web apps in a mobile browser (Hell, a majority essentially are just a wrapped web app) but because of companies offering more/better functionality people choose to use the app.

    All that needs to happen is sites starting require DRM functionality for “security reasons” so that the end user can enjoy more features.

    A majority of end users don’t understand the implications when making choices like these.



  • “There’s no chance NATO’ll grant Ukraine membership. It is right next to Russia, and NATO is scared to upset Putin.”

    While I agree that the chances for Ukraina bring admitted is next to slim I definitively don’t agree with your opinion on why it will not happen.

    You do understand that Ukraine is literally the only democracy in Europe that shares borders with Russia and is not a member of NATO?








  • “The countries of Central and Latin America “threw cold water” on the EU’s efforts to unite the continent to support Ukraine and call for colonial reparations in a counter-proposal to the draft declaration of the upcoming EU summit.”

    So on one hand they are not interested in standing up against the Russian attempt to colonize Ukraine but on the other hand they are very interested about colonial reparations?

    So… are they pro colonization or anti colonization?
