A large part of this can be avoided by giving campers an entry time based on the location they have on the campsite. Now it's a free-for-all which means pushing and shoving until it all stagnates.

That's what they say. Implementing it that way is an entirely other matter.

You could be in the finest school in the world and the phone would still win.

Also, France started doing this a few years ago already and has seen improvement across every metric. Better grades, more socializing, 80% less bullying, less anxious kids. They only downside they found? Parents complaining they were unable to call the kids at any moment.

America was safest under Clinton with budget surpluses to boot.

In my career I've learned there is a difference between what they ask for, and what they'll accept. If a NASA engineer with some crazy specific knowledge and skills offers their services, these rules might suddenly not apply.

My wife wanted a switch for her birthday since my son is getting older and wants to spend more time playing games. So we waited on the Switch 2 Direct announcement and it was clearly just a cash grab. Even the hardware demo "game" is a digital purchase. The Chat button only works with a subscription. €90,- for a Mario Kart game and expensive upgrades for games you already own.

So Steamdeck it is, the OLED model is a bit pricey, but i've only been hearing good things. And it wil run emulators which is an added boon.

Just hire your own crew, undo their work, send them the bill and the fine.

Multiblade systems like Gillette are actually worst for your skin. Razor burn is basically hair that's being cut down too far under the skin. And multiblade systems are really proficient in doing just that.

A safety razor has only one blade and it's much harder to get razor burn if you're a bit more gentle than you would with a Gillette. It's also much cheaper. And a good lathering cream and shaving aftercare can make an enormous difference.

Beyerdynamic makes great headphones and is mostly made in Germany.

This is not exactly what you're looking for but might fit the bill.

Because it's basically a new currency:

"it would be money, still issued by the ECB, but not taking the aspect of a banknote or a coin"

The problem here is that this requires new digital wallets. The downside also means that governments have even more control and surveillance options on your finances. While currently your normal bank account can be blocked or frozen. They can't really do it on a per payment basis. With the new digital wallets they could, potentially, restrict your use on a per payment basis. So rationing fuel could happen by only allowing someone to spend X digi-Euros on fuel. Also it would be impossible to spend money anonymously like you can do with cash.

There are of course upsides, but giving governments the option to do bad things is more likely to lead governments doing bad things.

A more informed alternative would be the NOVA classification. Where food is graded on the amount of processing.
