According to leaked documents tesla actually uses less water than they are allowed to ~450, 000 m^3 vs 1,300,000 m^3. And in the same region there is an asparagus farm that uses double the amount of water that tesla uses.

And no, people don't have to ration their tap water because of tesla

I'm not saying that there isn't a housing crisis but that article is a huge pile of BS.

I'm not familiar with Paris but I doubt there are a lot of furnished studio apartments compared to ones without furniture so the 6 months seems like cherry picked data.

Also the part where they talk about rent prices compared to median income is just wrong:

In London, the average rent for a one-bedroom flat in the city centre is now nearly €2,500 per month. The sum is more than three times the median monthly wage in the UK.

So you're telling me the median monthly wage in the uk is ~800€, yeah right...

The same thing is happening in Amsterdam, with the average rent being over €1,500 per month, more than two times the median wage in the Netherlands.

Oh and in the Netherlands it's less than 750€?

A quick google search tells me that the median wage in the uk is ~2600€ and for the netherlands I couldn't find a value for the median wage but the average in 2022 according to statista is >4000€ a month.

With weekends, public holidays and vacation days I work 220 days a year and with 8 hours a day that's probably not far off the total hours of the 150 work day medieval peasant

I usually print a temp tower when I get new filament that I haven't used before. It doesn't take that long and if it prevents a failed print it's totally worth it.

A dedicated e-reader is way better for reading than a smartphone or tablet. They use e-ink screens which are better for your eyes and for battery life.

Also there are dedicated mobile music players. A lot of them are targeted at the audiophile market and can drive high impedance headphones and have a high quality dac. But most people aren't audiophiles and don't use headphones that would benefit from something better than a smartphone.
