I just want to note that EVs don't fully solve this problem because a lot of PM2.5 and PM10 pollution comes from brake dust and tires.

When I woke up this morning I did not realise that I'd be ending up in Germany, nevermind stranded, but, well, that's airlines for you.
Extreme Temperatures Around the World
Plot twist: I'm currently stranded in Frankfurt, and I just had a complete interaction in German 😂.
(The guy behind me managed to hold a conversation where the café guy was speaking English and the customer French, but clearly both able to understand each other. I love the continent.)
(Note: Apologies if I'm coming off as humblebragging about international travel or something. Most of my travel is for work!)

Not that I would stay in a hostel, but a night in an 8-bed hostel dorm in downtown Seattle is somehow about the same price that I recently paid for a mid-range hotel room in London. Like, a random neighbourhood of London, but still. What the heck.

Pop quiz, which do you reckon is cheaper:
1) round-trip flights from Aberdeen, Scotland, to Seattle, Washington?
or
2) two nights in a mid-range downtown Seattle hotel?
(I apparently do not understand economics. 😅)
