It's actually not that unusual in Italy that people get rid of bidets, when they restructure their bathrooms (space constraints in modern appartments...). Also a good indicator that a significant part of the alleged high usage numbers come down to 'prestige answers' ("Yes, of course, I use it!").
I know from anecdotal evidence that some (many?) people who restructure their bathrooms in Italy also get rid of their bidets. Technically illegal, but in the absence of a dedicated bathroom police unit...
Have to agree that the body mechanics for using a bidet are stupid, but this is a solved problem. Below you see the best system on Earth and I can't wait for my fellow Europeans to get finally civilized by South Asians.
Neustes Detail: Im Jahre 11 der Elektrifizierungsbemühungen taucht ein "neues" Problem auf: Unter einer Brücke bei Kortsch hat die Oberleitung gar nicht Platz. Beiläufig erwähnt in einem Interview hier: www.vinschgerwind.it/index.php/vi...
...die Entwicklung von H2-Pkw aufgegeben. Die einzigen, die sich noch playen lassen, sind regionale Transportagenturen (nicht nur in Südtirol). Immerhin ist uns der Vinschger Wasserstoffzug (statt Elektrifizierung) erspart geblieben. Über den Noggler Sepp hatten sie's damals ja mal probiert.
...verlangen, erstmal bis ins letzte Bergdorf wieder ausgraben, dann abbauen und entsorgen. Da wär's doch für die Industrie schön, wenn's sonst noch nen Rohstoff gäbe, den man mit geringen Adaptionen durch die Gasleitungen kriegt... Jedenfalls hat sogar inzwischen schon die Automobilindustrie...
Die Realität der Dinge ist wohl einfach, dass es enormes Lobbying der Erdgasindustrie Richtung H2 gibt. Wenn das Gas irgendwann mal fertig ist, müssten die ja ihr billionenteures Pipeline-/Leitungsnetz, für das sie von Verbrauchern hohe Nutzungsgebühren ("Transport" auf deiner Gasrechnung)...
For clarity's sake: I'm talking about entering non-EU countries with visa waivers/visa on arrival schemes. No idea by what extent my personal experiences can be generalized, but I'd recommend to stick to your older passport, unless there is a really compelling reason to travel under new flag.
...allowed to enter given your 'strong' EU citizenship, it's just that all these automatized border-check systems with passports scans and face recognition will flag you as somebody requiring human intervention. And some bored border agents might be inclined to go onto power trips :-)
Nope, I have 2 EU passports. I had been using them at random for travel purposes for years, until I started encountering these inconveniences above, when trying to enter third countries I'd already been to with my 'other' passport (all fine on the visa front). I mean you'll eventually always be...
"Please show your other passport! Where is your other passport? Why didn't you carry your other passport? You should have brought your other passport!"
My personal advice: Just use 1 passport for travelling :-) If a country already has you as a citizen of A in its database, showing up as citizen of B will lead to nothing but increased scrutiny by border agents (can translate to another 20-30 minutes of quality time in airport queues).
Wer's immer schon mal wissen wollte: Auf der Brennerbahn fahren täglich zwischen Bozen und Trient (nur eine Richtung) 54 Personenzüge - erste Fahrt 5:00 Uhr, letzte 23:15 Uhr. Bei rund 18h Betriebszeit (die 2h Wartungspause am späten Vormittag ignorierend) ergibt das im Schnitt 1 Zug/20 Minuten.
We don't realize how radically different (and overall better) intercity rail travel is today in many European countries compared to before WWII, which is generally considered the peak of the railway era.

Ich dachte, wenigstens die Puschtra Lokalpatrioten könnt's freuen 🙂 Weißt du eigentlich, wird der RJ Lienz-Wien von Pusterer Studierenden benutzt? Also ab Bruneck aufwärts sicher eine interessante Option, oder?
...nation state much much later (say, Czech nationalism in 1993). My point being (among others), the idea of nation isn't bound at all to the existence of a 'nation state' of the same name, or of a majority of the population subscribing to the intended identity construct.
This metric is called 'academic definition of nation', but you are right. American national identity construction (=American nationalism) started in 18th century, which puts it among the earlier nationalisms. But this isn't earlier than many other national identity constructions which got 'their'..
...more successful than others in legitimizing political power for their movements (the ones that founded 'nation states'). But all this talk about 'old'/'young'/'true' nations is nonsense. The actual topic of your discussion is: When did nationalist narratives become hegemonic in a given country?
You are both wrong 🙂 A 'nation' is a collective social identity construct that comes into existence as soon as a small bunch of people declare to belong to the same 'nation' (and there is no minimum threshold sizewise). There are, of course, some 'nations' that were...
Vom Lacher abgesehen, das wäre technisch wohl tatsächlich relativ problemlos. Man bleibt im österreichischen Bahnstrom und östlich von Innichen gibt's eh nur Stundentakt, da sollten die 4 RJ täglich (2 hin, 2 zurück) noch gut reinpassen.
Les grad zum ersten Mal, dass es einen RJ Lienz-Wien gibt. Okay, musst du mal Pusterer L-Abgeordneten stecken, da gibt's einen kommoden Publicity-Sieg für wenig Geld zu holen! Südtirol zahlt der ÖBB die paar km Verlängerung nach Innichen und dann hat man DIREKTVERBINDUNG Pustertal-Wien.
