--- Quote from: sokoloff on June 19, 2023, 10:13:37 pm ---IMO, it’s not even difficult, let alone “nightmare”. At worst, it’s slightly time-consuming (a battery might take me 30 minutes start-to-finish). --- End quote --- I'd rather not carry my lab with me in outdoor trips when I have 2 additional batteries with me. For some reasons I prefer them over a 0.5 Kg power bank. |

Any way you look at it this law is a clash between EU Stalinists and US Trotskists. |

No overfed lawmakers are mandating how the manufacturers builds their line of tools. Maybe it's a US vs EU thing, but I find it baffling. --- End quote --- I agree with this for the most part, but don't think the US will be immune to that. It's coming to the US too. The days of historical american freedom are IMO counted. But that's another story. --- End quote --- Having visited the US for the first time recently, I get the feeling that the US focusses on different areas but has just as many rules that could be perceived as overzealous. Like California where the restaurant menus need to show the calories of every portion. Or intersections with stop signs. |
