Why would be the language death bad. Imho, from practical point of view it doesn't make sense to have multiple languages, or?

Many people do. And even if they don't, charing a car every day if you don't have a charger at home or office will be very painful. Imagine that you have to tank theICE car every day, even this would have been irritating.

Recently I'have seen Netflix trailer of Three Body Problem https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5lj99Uz1d50 and got really excited Haven't heard about that novel so I've started reading it. It's soooo great, I'm already mid "Deaths End" :D While searching stuff on Redding/YT i found about Tencent version. Started watching it, but it is too slow for me.

Today I found a link to this shortened version on Reddit, hopefully easier to digest :D

Someone asked that in my company. Answer was: you signed the contract in the past, before the covid, and you were coming to the office, and the commute time was included in the compensation. So there will be no increases. I guess you could use this card when applying for new job. But honestly, I would rather stay home and earn lesser than agree to coming to the office for additional hourly pay, covering commute time.

Sure, but again. People are buying it because Dacias are the cheapest, and there is nothing cheaper besides some Chinese brands, which have questionable quality, and are not available on very market. My dad has Sandero. He bought it because he cannot afford any other new vehicle. If he could, he would have bought Kia X-ceed, or Toyota Yaris X-Cross or something similar.

Not completely. Adaptive cruise control is becoming more common. Some Toyota's have it in all versions for some models. Mercedes A class you have to pay additionally for the basic models.

Because it is so great, or because this is the last decent car which is 10k euro, and people cannot afford for example VW Polo?

I have the same if it's too late, or too long. So 15-20 min, max till 3:30pm work for me. Did you try that?

Yeah. That's why working from home is soooo good. How many times in the past there were days I was struggling and feeling sleepy/tired in the office, sitting there, not being productive. Now, when something like this happens, 15 minutes nap/lying in bed helps to recharge batteries for the rest of the day.

I got ASUS ZenScreen MB16AH.

Choosing one it's a bit confusing, Asus offers many models, and hard to understand the difference. There are some which have separate display port and power. Different covers. With a battery etc. I really wanted just one having only one cable.

On Amazon there are some other less/not known brands, offering bigger screens, but I felt more convinced by the mainstream brand.

Remember that your laptop has to support this. I tested it with an older MacBook Pro, and Lenovo ThinkPad. On my old Ideapad I don't have such port.

When I',m flying to UK I always wonder if there are so many first timers, or people are so ignorant.

In Germany I never seen so many people have to open the bags after the scan, and have them re-scanned.

at Munich airport, at one of terminals they have new devices. You have to leave everything inside. Laptop, water etc. You just have to remove items from your pockets, belt. So much faster.

My worst experience was in UK, multiple times, at Manchester airport. So much drama there.

Portable screen. Didn't know that such exists, till about few weeks ago. Have a small apartment and sometimes have to work at the dining table. Using a big screen is not an option.

Portable screen is light, size of the laptop and charges/sends data through one cable. Perfect!

Most likely pre tax. In software development range will be probably 70-95k euro, for mid to senior dev in a big city. After all taxes, contributions you are getting around 60% of this.

So mentioned 75k, will be 40k net.

I live right outside a big city. Here 50 sqm in quite a new building costs 1200 monthly.

You are comparing to different segments.

Sandero is 36 cm longer, 27 cm wider, 2 cm taller, and has 28L more of the trunk. So the difference will be even bigger.

For 20k you get Jogger, which is a wagon, even more space, and it can be a 7-seater.

And also real life range of Dacia Spring is around 160 km. So that is very little for 20k .€

Talking about Sandero, comparable in size Renault ZOE starts at 37k €

Problem is that companies are buying those for tax advantage, and never charge, so CO2 emissions are higher - additional weight of the battery.

There was report somewhere, that often such vehicles are never charged.

Using SUVs costs more money, more resources, cars are heavier, tyres bigger, more are resistance, more fuel usage. And number of people buying bigger and bigger cars is growing. Number of people driving really fast is relatively low.

I would rather ban SUVs than anything else. It's upsetting to hear people complaining about climate change, pollution, voting for the Green party because of this, and then instead of a sedan or wagon they are going for a SUV which uses 3-4 liter of fuel.

First huge part of the population should learn to use the right and middle lane. I'm not often zooming on the highways, but how many times I overtake cars driving 130 kph in the right lane, where someone is driving in the middle lane 120 kph, and the next truck in the right lane is 1km away.

Also I'm not FDP voter, but I'm definitely pro no-limit. There is little no-limit patches anyway, traffic often doesn't allow driving faster than 160. Construction work all the time everywhere.

Not just that. For huge part of Polish population new EVs will be unaffordable. ICEs got more expensive in the recent year, but that still much lesser than EVs.
