Having an argument with a distant friend on Facebook about hydrogen trains

A FDP voter

"It costs too much to lease a multi-system electric locomotive for international traffic” he says. Which might be right.

Then 🥁

“So for these routes a hydrogen locomotive would be better!”

🤯🤬🫣

1️⃣ No-one has even BUILT a proper mainline H2 loco
2️⃣ How much that'd cost to build or run is unknown!
3️⃣ Fleets of multi-system Vectron ⚡️ locomotives to lease are growing

What is it with these people? FFS.

@jon longer term moving towards a common signalling system (ETCS) and a common overhead line standard (25kv 50Hz) will bring down costs for international traffic

What do you want your money to look like?

€ Euro banknotes are getting a new look! The time has come to choose the theme for their future design, and we want YOU to have a say. Which theme should be selected?

@EU_Commission the birds and rivers would be my favourite.

But more importantly.

🟢 Bright easily distinguished colours (keep the existing grey, red, blue, orange, green yellow but up the saturation slightly)

🟢 Tactile markers for the blind as an integral part of the design (put the value in Braille)

🟢 High security. Maybe polymer similar to current UK banknotes. With clear windows and maybe even holes in specific places

Why do or users prefer using vim over nano?

Because they enjoy the thrill of the hunt before they start editing a file!
