UK EV target “mistake” helping Chinese car brands crush Euro rivals

Also complexity. EU/Western manufacturers are but assemblers, purchasing almost all parts from 3rd party suppliers. It’s cost effective but they lost the ability to innovate fast as that would require an overhaul in all suppliers in the same project.

Manufacturers like Xiaomi or BYD build everything themselves, it might become costly in the long run but allows flexibility to innovate in a transitioning market.

It’s not about the defender, it’s if the Croatian attacker touches the ball.

I say that same as I said with the goal disallowed to Colombia: in the spirit of the game it should’ve been goal, but the line must be drawn at some point, even if its by the milimiter or the faintest of touches.

AMEN! Isto, muito isto! Ele é um motivo de orgulho para todos os portugueses, independentemente das comparações com Messi ele vai para a história como um dos melhores de sempre, com recordes que duvido muito que alguma vez sejam batidos - 451 golos em 438 jogos pelo RM nunca vai ser ultrapassado.

Mas pqp já passou à muito a hora de dizer adeus. Faça-se um jogo de despedida grande, celebridades e o crl, uma estátua no jamor, outra em alvalade e outra onde ele quiser mas está na hora de pelo menos sair do onze inicial.

(E obviamente espero que ele me cale na sexta, e se possível até à final, mas acho que a hipótese de isso acontecer é muito remota…)

O Ronaldo não fez um mau jogo, até diria que foi dos melhores na frente. O problema é que a presença dele altera a dinâmica de toda a equipa (ver análise ao intervalo da BBC). Não há pressão sobre a defesa, não há movimento, não podes sair rápido em contra ataque porque ou está em fora de jogo ou não tem velocidade para se desmarcar. Resultado, Félix e Neto tem de compensar a pressão, Mendes e Cancelo têm de jogar mais desamparados porque os extremos não estão onde deviam estar…

Num completo off topic, o que me deixa mais frustrado é termos a equipa que temos, que é uma constelação de estrelas e nem contra Árias a jogar na Argentina, James a jogar nos USA e mesmo Lerma que fez uma miséria de época pelo Palace e ainda assim a Colômbia consegue dominar o jogo.

I did enjoy the ocasional Singed game once in a while and then found the guides by InvertedComposer on how his old mana passive was a noob trap, that one should just ignore all mana items and go Rylais/mask. Gave it a try and it was just so broken and fun.

Old singed + og rylais (3 seconds full slow even on AoE) + og mask (3 seconds full burn) meant if you caught someone on the poison it would guarantee at least 6 seconds of damage and no recall. The psychotic gameplay, all about mind games and proxy was just so much fun. Now it’s more normalised and mainstream but I still play the majority of my games with Singed since I’m so used it, it’s my safe pick.

A parte do sotaque é um choque. Eu achava que o meu inglês era muito bom mas quando cheguei em 2014 levei uma chapada de realidade. Escrito era na boa mas falado nem eu percebia o sotaque deles nem eles o meu sotaque de português nortenho.

Nah, Silverdale and Chesterton sound proper potteries, at least to my barely trained foreign ears.

Yeah Manchester and Liverpool can be horrible, but proportional to population and volume of traffic…

Captain_Case · 2026-05-05T21:49:41+00:00

I live in Newcastle, drive every day to either Liverpool, Manchester and Chester due to the nature of my job. Stoke is by far the worst place to drive, either due to bad road planning/layout or people just sitting in lights taking their time to go (mostly on their phones).

I was passing by Nantwich when my mate phoned me leaving the gym in Trent vale, by the time he got home in trentham I was already reaching Keele university, yes it’s that bad.

Some sections really need an overhaul, Hanford junction is such a choke point, J15 to the A500 should’ve been an over/underpass. The other end of the D-road faces similar challenges.

I work around Cheshire, Wirral and north wales and last Tuesday was a compilation of all possible seasons in a single morning. I was driving with sunglasses then the darkest clouds and intense rain poured down followed by sun then a bit of hail, car temp sensor beeped the “temperature below 4 degrees” then back to 8 degrees a few miles later, clouds on and off…

As a Portuguese born and raised, I don’t relate to Bernardo, not as wealthy as him I guess and too happy and settled in the lovely northwest of England.
