I don't know about manufacturing in Belgium either, but I believe Antwerp is Europe's biggest roro port (meaning importing and exporting vehicles), might not be a coincidence.

I don't like buying electronic stuff from the US anymore, although that wasn't made there anyway, but they are world class. US clothing brands are generally overpriced and not made there either, but it still would give me an illusion of quality. American cars also aren't made there, but I don't feel unsafe sitting in one. I don't disagree with you but US goods still hold perception of high quality for me and many others. But it has decreased over time and my perception of the quality from China is increasing, so maybe I'll say the same in the (near) future.

Although ironically enough, the bigger it says it's from China the less likely it will be decent quality.

Yes but I have to disagree with you as well, they are failing very very badly but the failure isn't in the literal sense completely as there are some places it is providing an answer to these anti-democratic forces. I think the EU response to PiS helped getting them out of office (for a bit) and also Orbán is losing political weight because EU doesn't let them.

Their effort clearly isn't bringing enough results, I get your sentiment though but dismissing their succes isn't helpful either.

For £1, visitors to the park can use the machine to feed wild birds healthily and sustainably, rather than using bread which can lead to malnutrition.

French infrastructure is like that too, every road leading to Paris. Probably more countries like this.

Nice, there is an even more chaotic version there. (Yes this is clickbait but it's actually true and you'll appreciate the images they made).

Theoretically that could mean it also knows what is statistically unlikely, but it will only tell you what is statistically the most likely statistically unlikely answer.

they're goddamn geniuses in their delusional hick minds

I still haven't decided on whether they truly believe that or whether they only act like it because being honest would be unloyal and therefor not useful. Look at how Musk switched from his opinion from 'Trump is a genius' to 'Trump is a moron'

My theory is that a general lack of empathy caused his racist mindset combined with his his perceived superiority caused by his political power results in him not giving a fuck.

If that wasn't cringe enough, here's what the article concludes with:

“I could do this all day,” Trump mused as the leaders took it in turns to flatter him.

the most-practical and cost-effective approach

This one only goes for people who trust their government or an ngo to come rescue them when there's an disaster or other emergency going on. I am one of those people, but there seems to be a lot of people who don't and want to buy stuff now they can so they can survive as long as they can without any help when the point comes they can't buy these things.

for days minimum

This will be up to two relevant factors, only the first you know in advance:

1. The more densily populated an area the more effort will be spend locating survivors, if you survive a flood but live remotely it on average will take longer before you are located.
2. The extent of the emergency, the bigger the area the more available resources (including effort/ human energy) are spread out. If the flood covers a lot of area, it will on average take longer for help to reach you.

It is very unlikely there will not be any help coming.

If you survive a flood you might have gotten wet which will have massive influence on your ability to maintain a desirable body temperature. If the flood comes with bad weather and you have no acces to heating or a place to shelter hypothermia might kill you before contaminated water can. If you can shelter in place and you're safe in your own (or somebody elses) home bottled water and/or a water filter might be a great thing though, just trying to say what you'll need depends entirely on what situation you end up in.

I'm confused, what exactly is homo about these liberal monsters?

You're out of luck, we've had this for years now and it hasn't turned out to be as contagious as cookie pop-ups have

My belief of what this community dislikes comes down to shitty infrastructure and danger to unprotected individuals just having a good time. Also a bit fossil fuels, but I feel that's mainly a bonus point here. So motorcycles fall in the category car infrastructure and danger to others at high speed (and a small bit fossil fuel), but ebikes fall in the category bike infrastructure so that's good although they are still a danger at high speeds but then again also no fossil fuels.

So scoring between -2.5 (heavy car with ice) to +2.5 (slow durable bike), I'd say ebikes score at least +1.5 here. Wich you could translate to 4 out of 5 or 8 out of 10 so very much not like motorcycles which I would score -2, which is 3 out of 10.
