I always struggle to name one best thing at anything. Best movie? IDK, plenty of them are great, can’t say which is the best. Favourite colour? Depends on context. Best car? Different each week, as my mood swings. But if I had to pick one tv show and crown it the best, it would be:

Red Dwarf

Hands down the most viewed thing for me. That absurd British humor just clicks with me, just as Monty Python or Black Adder or Black Books did. I used to watch it to fall asleep for years, especially at the college. It was many years ago but I still remember a lot of replicas word by word.

I’m a big sci-fi fan, but… Man, I know I am a minority in this, but to me F451 was pretty bad. I had to really force myself to finish it despite being such a thin book. Everywhere I look I see almost everyone praises it like it’s the best book ever written, deep, thoughtful, etc. And I’m sitting here thinking: Have I read the same book?

Edit: I wasn’t forced to read the book (like in school), I wanted to read it to see why the hype. And got disappointed. While there were books from similar era with similar reviews that I really enjoyed - like e. g. Clarke’s Rama or Pohl’s Gateway.

Because you can quite easily grow your own weed avoiding them sweet sweet tax money you’re forced to pay when buying tobacco products. That’s the only logical explanation I could craft and I’ve been thinking about the same question for a long time.

I’m very much looking forward to that Moto. Hope it’s going to be decent, ideally something like current Edge 60 Neo - no bullshit ~7" tablet size, good battery, decent wired and wireless charging, ok camera.

Same as Thiel himself along with his buddies like Donnie or Epstein /s

So, do I get it right that e2ee messengers (like Signal or SimpleX etc.) are still legal and safe option?

Well, probably not. Can’t be 100% sure since it’s not really a thing I’d try to proove in a company car. But it hit the brakes couple times when I was approaching car in front of me too fast for cars liking. And it hit them quite hard, accompanied with alerting sound.

Well, 10 year old Skoda Fabia (something like VW Polo, small, cheap car) at work does exactly that. So yes?

They have a typo there. It should have been: PAY has no limits

The usual Dacia is indeed from Romania, but Spring is their first EV and it’s basically some unknown Chinese car rebranded with Dacia’s body kit. The whole EV technology is Chinese, though. New one will be (supposedly) based on new Renault Twingo platform.

As for the tax: yes, there’s just that small registration fee specific to cars, but there’s also usual 21% VAT like on everything.

And that “upgrade” path? It is definitely not Denmark thing alone as we have it here too. Prices I listed are for the bare bones trims. Classic move is like this: Want something useful like parking cam? Pay up. And because manufacturers are pricks, it’s only available as a package with some other crap you don’t need nor want but still have to pay for…

Škoda revealed Epiq recently, which is I believe ID.Polo cousin. And it’s not cheap by far, for it’s size and specs. Basic trim starts at over $30k and that means things like gray color only, no parking cam, no keyless doors, no V2L, no heated seats, no wireless charger, etc. And also just basic 3 year warranty. Want better specs? You’re at price of Tesla Y… (Don’t want to bring its idiot owner here, just comparing cars offers.)

And my personal gripe of car industry: I absolutely hate every car review magazine/site/channel where they present new cars like “this new model costs just XY”, then proceed to show you nice car and at the very end they tell you it’s not the XY price base trim. It actually costs over twice as much, due to better trim, bigger battery and all the fancy options. Yeah, thank you and f*ck you with a cactus.

It’s Czech Republic and no, there are probably not any cheaper EVs here. I’m not counting Dacia Spring ($16,5k pre-tax) as it’s Chinese car in disguise and it’s just too small and weak I’d hardly consider it a proper car anyway. Some other “cheap” non-Chinese choices are Hyundai Inster for $21,5k, Fiat Grande Panda for $22k or Renault 5 for $26,5k, all prices pre-tax.

Overall it’s just so expensive here. A lot of people are skeptic about the tech both for being expensive and also because everyone thinks they probably need to drive 800 km every day and charging is too slow… I’d buy EV a long ago if it wasn’t so price prohibitive.

EDIT: Just for comparison, average monthly wage is ~$2300 and median is ~$2100 (before taxation).

Well, our eastern block post-communist shithole has the cheapest e-C3 for roughly $22k pre-tax. It’s insane.

So by that logic you don’t have to pay tax for electric consumption, right? Right? Damn USA became such a cesspool…

Hello, my friend is using Netcup hosting service. It’s supposed to be German, so maybe it’s a contender for this list?

Most modern cars (in EU at least) has reversing white lights very, VERY dim, just to tick the box “has white backing lights”. My car (kia) barely lights road one meter behind the car, it’s really terrible in this regard and I honestly understand OP as I recently moved and reversing to my parking place is always like a lottery when it’s dark and rainy. As a workaround I put solar led lights along the driveway as a runway lights so I can see at least something.

You might laugh, but milk used to really sell in actual bags where I live…

Drama

But hey, they’ve got shopping cart in their store after like 5 years or…? Laughable.

And there are also people that prefer Epic game store for some reason. All five of them.

But looking at it from Steam’s side: why should they list a game, promote it through their recommendation algorithms, forums, friend lists, reviews, workshop, etc. when the developers can use it just as free advertisement and sell it in their store for half the price? What is in it for me? Servers and traffic are not free after all, quite the opposite thanks to today’s AI craziness.
