Or maybe people can tell it's a joke and don't feel the need to address it?

Switzerland had this up until 2012, when it was abolished because it cost more to administer than it was worth.

For anyone that might be interested in this: it's only for certain ebikes. Standard ebikes that only pedal assist up to 25km/h don't need anything special over a regular bike, which afaik is the standard limit in Europe. You can get ebikes that go up to 45km/h and they are regulated more like mopeds, requiring a number plate, rear view mirror, and that the rider wears a helmet.

Is that maybe just because there's more people in cities? Rather than a higher concentration of parker users compared to the general population

If you want something real with less strong flavour, try Grana Padano.

Why would you take your car instead of the train in this case? If you were going to fly anyway then the train makes sense. A car would be slower, you have to drive it yourself, and deal with storing it at your location.

IIRC that's the case in France, but per the article

It isn’t yet known how many flights will actually be impacted by restrictions.

I don't think anyone is arguing for the complete abolishment of cars, they just don't feel the need to caveat everything anti car they say with of course we still need ambulances etc just in case someone doesn't understand that.

I have the OG star tracker, which is pretty solid and would easily handle your camera. Although if you want to go super budget and I imagine you could just get a stepper motor and driver board, design some attachment for your camera and try and get it to step between exposures so you can just avoid the manual reframing like you said.

This would be great, but won't happen as quickly as they say, and even if a competitor does get going, the lack of capacity at St Pancras is a major blocker to reducing the ticket price.

The pricing and general operations on the Eurostar are pretty crap, which also annoys me to no end since I also use it semi frequently. Thankfully from what I've heard the high speed trains in Spain don't suffer from the same issues.
