    Esterbrook is probably the most prominent, but not comparable to the big boys. Pelikan dominates the entry level school market (I think Germany is one of the very few places where a fountain pen is prescribed at school?), but higher end is a totally different range. Lamy is more consistent with options at all price levels.

    FYI: Lamy has recently been bought by Uniball if I’m not mistaken



  • It’s not just ideological or lack of authority, EU economy is deeply intertwined with US’s one: if your main ally turns his back on you, you’re in deep shit no matter what you do. I agree that harder times could be beneficial (other comment to yours), but try to survive Trumps legislation could also work. In my view, it’s the decades before this that prepared the field for trouble: both with Russia and USA, Europe has made itself too dependent on foreign countries (for energy and defense, core matters with regards to be strong on an international field)









  • I didn’t yet read the article, but Tesla are in my view the simplest cars around. Electric vehicles generally, are much simpler than ICEs. The whole thing about cells is just plain wrong… all batteries bigger than 20Wh (a big smartphone) are made up of multiple cells. And the batteries are very well protected from external crashes. Thermal runaway is still something that’s being improved on them, but mainly to increase energy density and reduce the other necessary failsafes.

    (Just some napkin math: 1 lithium ion cell has around 4V of voltage, most vehicles have a 400V or 800V architecture, so you need at least 100 cells in series to reach that.)

    Edit: checked the article: a good summary of the many shady crashes Tesla is covering up, but it looks like assistive driving features and criminal handle design are the main culprits. Generally EV batteries - Tesla’s included - are really safe. But when they do burn, it’s challenging to stop it. It’s such a huge pity that the huge potential of Tesla is being run to the ground this way…




  • Wenn man von AKW und Sicherheit spricht, ist die Kernstabilität was angesprochen wird. Ich finde, du nutzt das Wort “Sicherheit” in einer breiteren Sinne, aber ich kann in dem Fall zustimmen. Der Umweltschutz sehe ich genau so wichtig wie du: es ist richtig, die AKWs zu drosseln, um das Ökosystem zu schützen. Ich ordne das aber anders ein als “Sicherheit”, das ist alles. Die Tatsache, dass ein AKW gedrosselt laufen kann, um die Umwelt zu schützen, spricht eigentlich dafür, dass es doch “sicher” ist und an externen Faktoren angepasst werden kann.

    Ich habe keine Lieblingstechnologie und aus der Diskussion in dieser Thread gibt es schon Punkte, die mir zu einem Umdenken bringen können.

    Die Idee, dass alle nur aus Dummheit/Naivität/“Lieblingstechnologie” eine Meinung verteidigen, bringt nicht weiter. Ich empfehle dir offener und respektvoller zu sein, ansonsten lebt man nur im Echobubble und Kommentare sind nur ein digitales Geschrei (“völliger Quatsch”, “deine Lieblingstechnologie”, “Du bist da etwas ganz ganz heißem auf der Spur”).
