Europe, yes, EU, no. Alde had 5% for EU, I quoted a source for 6% for the EU.

Doesn't appear to be true, it's < 10% for the biggest cities (based on cursory research). Rome was 5% pre COVID; less now. https://assets-global.website-files.com/6329bc97af73223b5759...

More like 6%, roughly in line with its population share (5.4%). Not sure if that includes air travel, international air travel often isn't included in national statistics. https://edgar.jrc.ec.europa.eu/report_2025

Tourism is 10% of the economy, most of it is domestic or internal to Europe; most of it doesn't involve air travel or city hopping.

I sometimes wish my scale was precise to below 1g when measuring yeast for long-rising (bread) dough. A recipe may ask for 1g, and adding 2g will make a huge difference.

Spot on. You're doing heatpump based cooling without floor heating? I didn't realise that was an option.

I just spent fifteen minutes to corroborate the numbers for Germany, and they appear to be a vague guess by Statista. There don't appear to be any reliable stats or studies, which I find surprising; the few studies I could find had peo

But I don't want to delete cookies? I want websites to use cookies that are technically necessary e.g. for keeping me logged in. I just don't want them to use it to track my behavior especially inter-website.

That is funny because Germany did in fact use the process ("waste") heat from steel mills for district heating on a large scale. The steel was then used by the automotive industry, among other things. We're talking 50+ year

I know, right. And the other manufacturers are the same, razors/grooming tools that just have a USB C plug are rare to nonexistent. My assumption is that it's down to some regulation regarding waterproofing somewhere. Though of co

What'd be nice for compound words particularly in German is a way to enter them separately and have them merge either automatically or as an option above the keyboard. Eg enter Bürger Dienste and have it autocorrect to Bürgerdienste. O

The YKK zipper on my North Face hard shell broke. Got it replaced under warranty. Half a year later, it broke again. Anecdotes, sure, but I'm now buying cheap jackets instead.

The data doesn't prove either point. For all we know, a very low number of cattle are being grazed on those 29%. Or a lot of them. We don't know.
