Schaue ich mir auch in Ruhe an, danke für die Links.

Allerdings:

• Gefälle auf der Strecke dürfte in der Regel sämtliche Verkehrsmittel betreffen. Das sollte also kein Argument sein, für Züge keinen Durchschnittsverbrauch anzugeben. Um diese Effekte rauszurechnen könnte man entweder eine Ebene Strecke für einen Vergleich nutzen oder zumindest den Durchschnittsverbrauch über Hin- und Rückfahrt berechnen.
• Rekuperieren können Elektro-PKW grundsätzlich ja auch. Hier wäre interessant, ob Züge das mit einem besseren Wirkungsgrad schaffen.
• Die Auslastung betrifft auch alle Verkehrsmittel. Ein voller PKW ist auch effizienter als nur ein Fahrer, genauso wie bei der Bahn.
• Das Argument, dass der Zug sowieso fährt, ist zwar richtig, aber sollte man für den Vergleich fairerweise ausklammern. Für den Fall, dass Elektro-PKW bei gleicher Auslastung effizienter pro Passagier und Strecke wären, wäre ja zukünftig auch ein ÖPNV-ähnliches Konstrukt auf PKW-Basis denkbar à la Mitfahrzentrale o.ä. Außerdem lässt sich dieses Argument auch so missbrauchen, dass es umweltfreundlicher ist mit dem Flugzeug von Köln nach Berlin zu reisen ("fliegt ja sowieso") als mit dem Fahrrad (Kalorienverbrauch, Reifenabrieb etc.).

Idealerweise müsste man den Gesamtverbrauch aller Züge in Deutschland / ( Anzahl beförderter Passagiere * zurückgelegte Strecke ) rechnen. Und das gleiche dann für Busse, (e)PKW, ...

Vielen Dank für den Link. Das ist schon mal sehr interessant. Kleiner Wermutstropfen ist allerdings, dass Elektro-PKW nicht explizit im Vergleich betrachtet wurden. Schaue ich mir aber auf jeden Fall genauer an. :)

I think that answer is very harsh and inadequate.

I never opposed welfare in my post and even highlighted that I appreciate the state supporting people in need. The part that suprised me was specifically the police is able to give job offers to negotiate in such a situation.

Many people are desperately looking for a job. And if you read in the news that a suicide attempt might get you one, I can absolutely see people taking that chance if they see no alternative way forward.

That's why from my perspective there should be a preventive support system established that helps people BEFORE things escalate as in the case from the news article.

Unpopular opinion: I hate Elon Musk and basically never thought I'd consider buying a tesla. But to be fair, I did quite some research and a couple of test drives with various cars and overall the model 3 is the best deal for my requirements. Especicially, it seems to be the most energy efficient car in that size and cost range. You can drive a model 3 with around 15 kWh / 100 km even in winter on the highway where competitors range around 18-22.

Regarding the two buttons for the turn signals: yes I'd probably prefer the old-fashioned approach with a lever but the two buttons are definitely not as bad as claimed in all the articles. I got used to it pretty quickly during the test drive and also in roundabouts it is practicable even thought not the most ideal approach.

Sad to hear that. NewPipe really is an amazing project from my perspective with plenty of great features. Just read they're planning a complete rebuilt using new technology. Really crossing my fingers they succeed and won't be blocked by the services (YouTube, Soundcloud etc.).

Is non-alcoholic beer reallly more expensive than the regular? In Europe they're on par in most places. In Northern Europe (Norway, Denmark) it's even significantly cheaper due to taxes.

Was wenn der Roller still auf der Stelle steht, ich ihn aber im Vorübergehen "übersetze"?

I think it's always about absolutes in the end. If a vegan drives by car 100000 miles and takes several flights a year that's definitely worse than an omnivore staying at home all day. Ideally, you stay at or around home AND be a vegan AND only buy second hand AND avoid electronics etc.

If you are interested in how your personal lifestyle ranks against the average, just google for CO2 footprint calculator. If you want to do a good one, it will take at least 30 minutes as you have to answer quite some questions. This will give you not only an indication of where you are right now but also in which areas you have most room for improvement.

I think if everyone seriously tries their best and actually tried to improve their lifestyle it would have an immense impact. Unfortunately, most people seem to just blame "the industry" or "the politicians". Of couse, they also play a role but we'll never get a better world overall, if people aren't willing to cut back on their lifestyle. And cutting back involves many many aspects. Veganism ist just one of them.

I think that's an amazing self-ironic design! 100% sends a smile to first time visitors while also delivering a nice little message to underline the importance of the topic.

So I guess ESH?

Becoming mainstream very fast might also go along with regulation and lots of pressure towards the mods and server admins (e.g. hate speech, discrimination, fake news etc.). That might make it very hard as there's no compensation for the work except of some donations maybe. I think it would be better to grow more natural with a slow but consistent pace to give the infrastructure and people some time to adapt to the bigger crowds.
