I mean, ideally, you shouldn't be able to submit a bill that not only goes against all (I'd hope) national constitutions, but also violates fundamental rights as established by the European Court of Justice.
But oh well, let's hope that we can stop this before it becomes law, and if it does, that its implementation gets delayed enough for a hopefully sane judiciary to strike this down.
Except that many Android phones also don't have replaceable batteries anymore.
No worries, and glad you learnt something!
I don't know whether this is a joke or not (Poe's law and all), so I will assume this is a genuine question:
Because they were about to say Czechoslovakia, I'd assume. The country that hasn't existed anymore for a long time.
edit: grammar fix
Because Joule is the SI unit of energy, meanwhile the Watt is the SI unit of power, equivalent to one Joule per second.
"Converting" joules to watts would be like converting m/s to US dollars.
I don't see how your example is 'funny'. That's what you expect to get. -5^2^ is -25. (-5)^2^ = 25.
Glad I can count my own country, Lithuania, among the enlightened.

I tend to align my personal view largely with the German decision in Solange I/II; as long as the EU provides the same protection of fundamental rights as the national constitution (Grundgesetz in germany's case), it supercedes review under national constitutional courts.
My point here was that they're pushing a bill that clearly goes against fundamental rights recognized by national constitutions and EU law.
edit: I presume you have in mind the recent-ish controversy with Poland. I'll agree with you that that one is counterproductive.
