Adding to this, the Dutch judiciary ruled that oil companies incorporated in the Netherlands (which a lot of them are for tax reasons) could be held directly liable by citizens for climate change, which is a groundbreaking judgment and sufficiently spooked them that a lot of those companies are looking to move HQ elsewhere. But yeah, Americans think every country must be just as bad or even worse than their own

euros forget that each euro country is more like an individual state than the entire usa.

People always say this but its mostly bollocks imo. There are way bigger practical and cultural differences between different counties in Europe than there are between US states.

I'm sure the firmly entrenched rights to abortion (which is actually becoming less restrictive still as a result of two bills proposed by, among others, the "right wing business ghouls"), euthanasia and same sex marriage (the latter two, incidentally, having been introduced within the last 30 years and being world-firsts if I'm not mistaken) do not count for anything at all. Nor does a judiciary that, for example, has effectively told the government to do more about combating climate change. The Netherlands is obviously just as bad as [insert country of choice here].

just lol if you think Urgenda-Staat is anything but an incredibly obvious example of the complete moral, political and legal emptiness of Dutch society. The case itself is cool it surely presents itself a properly binding legal declaration, but if wonder if you actually know how effective it’s actually been in practice. In practice, all three of our last 3 cabinets have completely ignored the ruling and continued on their merry neoliberal ways.

In all aspects of government, from the municipalities to the provinces to The Hague, binding legal and constitutional safeguards are broken in order to police and criminalize the least powerful groups in society, while a completely depoliticized electorate happily votes for yet more of the same. The hard truth is, that there is little to nothing left of the Dutch rechtsstaat, and you’re fooling yourself if you think otherwise. 30 years ago we might’ve been good social liberals, but that’s all gone now.

Sensor freaks out, limiting some part of the power unit. Engineers identify which sensor is broken, and whatever "fault 5-0" command they asked perez to apply bypasses the sensor, resuming (sort of) normal operations. Similar things have happened before, can't remember which cars.

Horner mentioned that during the race yesterday. The problem was a sensor fizzled out so they had to switch to a backup mode which used another series of sensors.

In other words, they routed to alternate power.
