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.

Are you me?

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

Given how Ubislop stocks fell in recent years, they are properly poor and that’s good.

My grandma used to make “grenadier march”, it was simple and cheap meal from her childhood, meaning (pre-)WW2.

Boiled potatoes and flat egg noodles roasted with onion, bits of speck (bacon) and sweet paprika. Nothing more. I wasn’t really fan of the meal, but I understand where it came from and what it had to achieve (fill empty stomach for very cheap and mainly home grown ingredients).

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

It’s Ubisoft, so it’s AAAA! Get your facts straight. /s

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?

What did the chicken do to him to deserve this fate?

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

It’s the third one with Harry Potter. Don’t you remember?

How come alcohol and cigarettes are still sold in those countries? How ’bout sugar or corn syrup? That logic is absurd…

It spelled “Sieg” in this context…

Oh, come on. I’ve only seen old trilogy and skimmed though the “new” one (Ep1-3), never seen anything else apart from games like X-Wing or SW Kotor.

I don’t find movies to be a holy grail of hollywood, but I somehow love the setting. I’m not really a SW fan at all, but I do love it has so many interesting and spectacular planets/biomes to see, with such exotic names as Kashyyyk or Alderan, plenty different alien species, magician knights jedis of the force, etc. It’s like 5yo kid in me left in a candy store.

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…
