I have to admit I only read half of the article. Even if there is some historical fact there (but it was not mentioned at the beginning of the article), from a physical standpoint this comparison is already dimensionally wrong and also coincidentally only correct if you choose appropriate units. That was the point I was trying to make. There is not anything "deep" here.

Sorry to ruin the party, but g is a quite random number, on other planets the corresponding acceleration is different. So π^2~g is a pure coincidence and not relevant. The Newtonian gravitational constant G is a real constant btw.

The situation with trains in Germany is appalling. Our kids need to go to school by train. Even though it is the only line using that route, there are constant delays and cancellations. DB (Deutsche Bahn) often does not even care to inform the passengers of such events over the loudspeakers or displays. I routinely take at least one train earlier to increase the probability of reaching my destination in time. Working from home has saved me a good amount of stress over the years.

This is not motivating anyone to switch from cars to trains.

Exactly the same for me :-) Because of the package management I have only been using Arch based distros since 2020. I used Manjaro with xfce for quite some time, but now I have installed EndeavourOS with KDE Plasma on my work and personal laptops. Everything works fine, even the bluetooth connection to my Bose noise cancelling headphones works very reliably. I just needed to deactivate some animations, especially the default one for switching between desktops because I do that about 100 times each day and would get sea sick if I kept that.
