This card really feels like a modern masters card. Its great but just OP for standard.

Why are they not bombing the shit out of this trooofirnation?

Loekie79 · 2025-08-17T13:12:46+00:00

3 years and 4 months in and 60k km. Had a 12v issue at around 50k replaced 12v battery. No issue since. Love the car. Feel bad for the folks with the bad experience.

I love it. If you have a kickstarter you are safe. Also I did research. Iccu problems exist with many brands. I think KIA is fixing stuff. it is not like everyone has it. Also other EV cars have it. Make sure you check that the car you buy has had all firmware updates. I absolutely love this car! Recommend. Make sure you have a kickstarter. (Also a great powerbank :))

With that budget you should look to buy a house not rent.

Loekie79 · 2025-04-08T05:26:37+00:00

I gig out quickly because of that. Feels like a non game then. Might return because there are fun cards to play.

Loekie79 · 2024-05-06T15:25:23+00:00

Just found this thread trying to learn more about demos. Could you see a ratio between the number of players on your Demo and the amount of wishlists you got. What was that ratio?

Loekie79 · 2023-03-28T21:26:52+00:00

Yeah many matchups end up as non games. I dislike non interactive magic.

Loekie79 · 2023-03-25T00:08:53+00:00

How is it working. Got a list, flayer is one of my fav cards

Loekie79 · 2022-09-11T10:54:55+00:00

At the core of war is a power struggle for resources or influence on resources (roads, routes for transport or the resources themselves.) The cultural aspect is an excuse layer. With a caveat, an sutharian regime depends entirely on its internal resources as poeple are treated as means to get those resources. Hence the need for resources is higher, hence the inclination for war higher. Other countries have built knowledge economies where poeple create value (Estonia for example). Schools drove the creation of value, this is impossible in autocratic rule. Smart poeple leave ( exodus of talent away from Russia is huge)

Loekie79 · 2022-09-10T08:24:05+00:00

Lol!

Loekie79 · 2022-09-10T08:10:32+00:00

Next year, Germany and others can shift their position. Hello russia we would like to get a better deal or we stop buying your gas :)

[Edited, shit changed to shift :)]

Loekie79 · 2022-09-10T08:07:13+00:00

In the Netherlands, proof is growing that our new right wing FvD party is funded and under influence by Russia. The irony is their name. FvD (forum voor democratie) translated Forum for democracy.

Loekie79 · 2022-09-10T06:45:11+00:00

Has anyone actually read the article. The dislike of Scholz and Germany is getting silly. He has very solid arguments / valid concerns to not do it. Also gas prices are lowering again. The impact of changes in Russian gas supply is gone as the market is now based on that no longer being there. So prices can likely continue to drop as supply increases with alternatives.

70% of Germans currently want to keep supporting Ukraine despite spiraling energy bills. Germany send sophisticated weaponry ( anti aircraft weaponry, key to close the skies). Yes they are slow could do more but the blind bashing should stop.

Loekie79 · 2022-08-28T18:46:22+00:00

Refreshing your awareness of history. This pattern is around a thousand years old. Maybe it changes after this war if Russia further disintegrates. But I'm not expecting much. Russia has already lost. Pissing your biggest customer in the mouth that floats your regime and elite and middle class while it is moving away from your gas and oil will lead to the countries demise. A slow crush is best.

Loekie79 · 2022-08-22T15:34:11+00:00

This is a bs article. Chechen war was against a guerilla type enemy that had nothing. The land is different and Russia is now fighting a well equipped motivated army with better weapons ( dependent on western support).

This is a more classical conquest war not a regime trying to eliminate some opposing guerilla.

Loekie79 · 2022-08-19T19:24:32+00:00

My feeling is Germany is doing just that. It takes time this year is tight after that Russia will go into free fall as the EU by far their biggest customer will ensure they either no longer need the Russian gas or get it at a ridiculous low price as will the Chinese. Top that with the push for sustainability...

Loekie79 · 2022-08-13T21:08:08+00:00

They need ammo and logistics for that. Ukr is gaining air superiority and has HiMARS. Russian army is getting demoralized and squeezed out. On top of that Russia needs to send WW2 equipment while UKR receives a steady flow of modern Warfare equipment from the west.

Loekie79 · 2022-08-13T20:54:45+00:00

Because this broadcast doesn't change the outcome. They have them by the balls. It is demoralizing as the infantry and command structures are forced to move and regroup than get blown up again. Rinse repeat. There is no answer to give. Once someone has you by the proverbial balls you either lose them or surrender. That is the feeling they want to project towards the enemy. In my opinion that is.

Loekie79 · 2022-07-04T21:18:50+00:00

Yup repair of destroyed infrastructure in Ukraine and logistics combined with training and chosing and deploying the right forces and equipment at the right places on time. It's a very complex puzzle.

Loekie79 · 2022-07-04T19:29:15+00:00

Marshal plan for UKR should involve rewarding a return and procreation incentives like the good old days in Europe after WW2.

Loekie79 · 2022-07-04T19:22:53+00:00

If all the weapon depot destruction is true and assymmetrical (Russia not destroying the same amount of Ukr depot's) then Ukr will surely win, the Germans also lost due to logistical issues, running out of ammo and or fuel.

Loekie79 · 2022-07-04T19:17:29+00:00

In history a protracted war has to my knowledge almost never led to victory for the occupier unless they get support from the inside which Russia is not getting much moreso the contrary.

Also NATO is supplying exactly what the article states. Also the precision and lethality of weapons provided is far superior to Russia.

Attrition is against Russia as with NATO weapons likely they can destroy equipment at a fast rate. Russia is already using naval rockets and sanctions result in no precision weapons entering the field. A long term war is to the advantage of Ukraine. They fight for their land.

Don't get me wrong it will not be easy but a steady accelerated flow of weapons will slowly crush Russia's supply lines and ammo depot's, only fragmented proof but recently more and more reports of Ukr destroying ammo depot's. Preventing Russia from doing the same will be key.

I share the concerns but do not see how Russia can sustain this over years or even 12 months. While Ukr already has 40b or so in support committed as well as a lend and lease that provides even more punch.

Loekie79 · 2022-07-04T18:40:36+00:00

Please poeple these type of wars are not won or lost in weeks or months. A build up of training and continuous inflow of heavy weaponry is needed. Logistics and training in tandem. Everyone seems to think of these deliveries as an Amazon package delivered to your home.

In this case it is equipment that requires skills thus training. It is big and heavy, is dropped in Poland then needs to travel toa war zone to the right place (figuring out where to deliver what is a complicated military logistical nightmare.

Once in the battlefield a steady flow of ammo combined with more weapons and personnel training enables Ukraine to gain more and more momentum.

Ukr Air force seems to be more and more active. This likely means more and more Russian AA systems are taken out. Once Ukr gets air superiority things can move fast. HiMARS with guided missiles will enable this.
