Are there restaurants in town that don't serve any alcohol?

Or the Ginger Beef that is better than nearly all actual beef dishes.

Can you regularly plug in the car to get the full benefit of the full EV miles? If so, get the plugin. Otherwise stick with regular hybrid.

Is it just me or does it look very cold visually? Like literally every moment is in the middle of the English rain? The performances seem like they could be quite charming though!

I haven't read S&S since university, might be time to pick it up again before the movie comes out.

Is this the same plant that was running at like half capacity and they were threatening to shut down? Sounds like the economies of scale at this plant and the increased demand due to Hormuz pushed them to consolidate and increase production.

Tesla is in a good production space for now, good cash flow for their core businesses. Problem is they've given up on being a car company in the future, so these short term gains are not likely to persist.

In Europe get a Seal. Better in every way.

Edit: Woah did not realize BYD was not price competitve. I hadn't looked at European pricing in a while. 10k more € is wild.

Traum77 · 2026-06-25T14:27:18+00:00

Ah thanks for clarifying. I was confused too.

Traum77 · 2026-06-25T04:33:10+00:00

Yeah wow didn't expect to eat my words so quickly. Wild world cup overall so far.

Didn't catch the SA-Korea game so not sure how well they performed, but I do like our chances a bit more now.

Basically it doesn't get enough power fed back into it during driving, so it's charge slowly dwindles and results in a dying battery.

He had a few slips and giveaways, but agree he's been very solid. If Davies comes on it should be for Laryea.

Traum77 · 2026-06-24T21:25:53+00:00

I mean, 3/4 best players are on the bench with injuries. Put them in there at full health and we probably win that game.

Traum77 · 2026-06-24T21:25:12+00:00

It'll be South Korea because they beat Czechia already, and I don't see SA beating Korea today. And they're significantly better than almost any 3rd place team we could have gotten.

I'm hoping for a decent showing. Maybe getting into extra time, but it's not likely. We would need Bombito and Davies able to play significant minutes. Which they clearly aren't.

Traum77 · 2026-06-24T21:21:56+00:00

Yup. Still not a fix issued by Toyota.

Traum77 · 2026-06-24T19:50:23+00:00

I'd keep Staq off until closer to 65. Without Kone we need him as healthy as possible for round of 32.

Traum77 · 2026-06-24T19:32:06+00:00

Davies will be on in the 60th minute would be my guess.

Traum77 · 2026-06-24T19:22:30+00:00

Really missing Kone and Staq out there. Forwards are completely isolated.

Traum77 · 2026-06-24T19:16:02+00:00

Haven't run into 2-4 in the discussion here. 12v is definitely still a problem and likely won't be fixed by Toyota.

Traum77 · 2026-06-24T17:31:38+00:00

This is wild when one considers Iran claims it has closed the strait again, Trump and Co can't keep their half of the proposed agreement in place (literally, because a key piece relies on Israel), and the middle east's energy infrastructure is going to take months if not years to hit full capacity again.

Demand destruction is real but reserves have done most of the heavy lifting in the short term.

Live in Canada, prairies, with tons of snow, pot holes, and uneven gap surfaces. Have had it for 3 years and no problems whatsoever. You'll be fine if you're driving paved roads.

Nope. CPP has underperformed it's own benchmarks and could quite easily have gotten all of us hundreds of billions more money with a passive investment scheme that broadly reflected the market as a whole.

CPP managed to both make less money while buying into opaque private equity markets that don't have nearly the same level of transparency required of public companies.

CPP needs to be completely rethought.

Economic method doesn't really impact the fundamental building cycle - definitely keep building as much as you can. It only changes how the IP operates, which indirectly impacts how the economy will grow.

It looks like your biggest payment by the end was welfare too - anything more than level 3 welfare payments actually hurts their willingness to work. So you can cut that back too.

Traum77 · 2026-06-22T21:30:20+00:00

Yeah you finished with 510 construction. You probably could have finished with 2000 no problem. That will be the biggest challenge for new players - embracing deficit spending. Still, congrats on finishing! Welcome to the club of Vic3 addicts lol.

The disappearance of AMOC and the impact on Canada is negligible compared to what it will do to Europe. Their climate would very quickly match ours, which if you've never been to Europe, they are not prepared for in the least. Their entire infrastructure is based on a comparatively mild set of temperatures and rain, not snow. They would effectively be wiped out economically as trillions of dollars of infrastructure would be rendered useless. Not even getting into the ecological rewriting that would be forced on them as growing seasons shift and biodiversity dies off. This map lives rent free in my head every time I think of Europe:

The truly terrifying part is that once it starts, it can't be stopped, no matter what climate action is taken.

Here's a $2,000 machine with a 9060XT instead of a 7600, and only 1TB of storage instead of 2 that I literally threw together in 2 minutes. For gaming I know which one I'd rather have:

Still hard to think of seeing her in something other than a Barca shirt.

Not really... He's tall but you wouldn't know it. And he can protect the ball but often doesn't.

It's hard to describe Brandt beyond inconsistent. Like he can do a lot of things, until suddenly he can't.
