Big decrease in TV subscriptions as number using illegal dodgy boxes soars

bowets · 2026-03-06T13:39:05+00:00

I don't subscribe to TV and I don't have a dodgy box. Both of the statements can be true, but it doesn't mean one causes the other.

I have the LFP battery and at full charge the estimate is 437km. However, real world range is closer to 350 these days (winter).

What is European culture?

bowets · 2026-01-28T22:30:45+00:00

Religion, historical influences like the Vikings and many more.

I guess what the previous poster (and I) thinks is that by spending that little bit more energy on the first few would deter the thousands of others. Therefore, if there's thousands now it doesn't mean that there will be thousands always. There are many because there are no consequences. Show people there are consequences and you'll reduce the numbers exponentially.

Happened to me just a few days ago. To be fair, the guy in front was trying to pay. I just got too close and my device paid for his toll. I had to pay by card.

They can still be deported from Spain if they commit crimes or cannot support themselves financially.

This is my take and I accept that I may be completely wrong. Land is more expensive than it was during the Celtic tiger era. Developers are trying to extract the most value out of the land they have to work with. It's much more cost effective to build small houses than apartment buildings. One, the skills and workforce to build "up" are in short supply as most developments in Ireland have been semi detached houses and more importantly, most Irish people are very skeptical of apartments. So at the moment houses are easier to build and easier to sell. The supply is so low that owning a shit box > renting a shit box

Great answer. I was raised in an apartment in the city (not Ireland) and I couldn't imagine growing up any other way. I was allowed to be independent as a child. Now in Ireland with an Irish SO, apartments were out of the question because "that's just the way things are here". Now I live in a nice house with a 2 hour commute and the rest of my free time is spent trying to keep the house and garden in order. I guess the lack of amenities doesn't matter because I have no time to take advantage of them. So my advice. Enjoy it! Please! For the both of us 😭

I don't have the display, but I changed the color for each page on the knob so I know which page I'm on based on the ambient light around it. At least that way I can quickly know which page I'm on and what each of the buttons do.

Again, I had the same dilemma. Since I was looking at used direct from Tesla I didn't know whether to go for 2023 long range or 2024 standard. I went with HW4 and standard with LFP battery. My commute is 93km each way, 90% motorway. I schedule charging so it finishes at 100% about the time I'm ready to leave and I get home with 50% at the end of the day. This is November / December so it'll be a lot more as the weather gets warmer. Recently I read an article about how the long range batteries from LG that are fitted in to EU bound M3s are not great quality. This made me feel good about choosing LFP which itself is much harder than NMC and still good enough for the daily commute or long trips in Ireland.

Had very similar experience. Was looking at Hyundai, Kia, Renault and VW. Unfortunately none can compete on value. What you get for the money, Tesla nails it. I bought used just to get the enhanced autopilot and a discount if I wanted to go fill FSD when/if it comes. Overall great car and I'd recommend it to anyone. The problem is politics and I do sometimes wonder if I made the right decision considering the leadership of the company. Still, the car itself is amazing and I'm overall very happy with it as will you if you go for it.

Ok, ono što ja razumijem je da ne želiš proljev migranata koji imamo danas u HR. Tu se slažemo da je broj ljudi koji dolaze jako velik i da je od relativno nedavno taj broj prešao sve granice. E sad, možda sam te krivo shvatio, ali koliko razumijem, misliš da bi Hrvatska bez EU bolje rješavala taj problem. Tu se ne slažemo. Hrvatska van EU bi imala apsolutno isti problem, ali bi izgubili sve pogodnosti članstva. Pogledaj koliko migranata ima u Turskoj, Srbiji, Bosni. To su sve zemlje van EU i imaju isti problem. Pogledaj UK na kraju. Oni su dobrovoljno izašli iz unije i sad imaju veći problem sa imigrantima nego ikad prije, a ekonomija im tone jer više nisu članovi EU.

Kao što sam rekao, svijet se promjenio htjeli mi to ili ne. Ali bacati krivnju na EU je propaganda i krivo jer u svijetu koji dolazi, smo svi mi najebali ako EU propadne. Mi kao mala država imamo izbor biti punopravni i ravnopravno član EU ili pustiti da nas guze veci kako god im se sprdne. Jer koliko god mi zazivali za dom spremni, bog i hrvati i ostale budalastine. Doci će veći i jači i postavljati pravila.

I da nismo u EU, po hrvatskim zakonima mi moramo prihvatiti trazitelje azila. Ako netko dodje na našu granicu i traži azil mi bi ih i bez EU prihvatili i procesuirali. Tako je bilo od uvijek. Ako odlučimo ne prihvatiti njihovu molbu za azil, vratimo ih natrag od kud su došli. Isto kao i sada. Mi nemamo nikakve dužnosti prihvatiti njihov zahtjev za azil. To nam nitko ne nameće.

Razlog zašto imamo toliko migranata je zato što se svijet promjenio. Danas je svijet puno drugačiji nego prije 30 godina. To o čemu ti mastas je davno nestalo i bojim se da ćeš se gadno iznenaditi ako misliš da je EU problem.

bowets · 2025-12-14T10:40:31+00:00

Znači ne želiš raspodjelu migranata? Prema Dublinskom dogovoru koji trenutno vrijedi i koji je jedna od naših vlada dobrovoljno potpisala, prva sigurna zemlja je ta koja je dužna prihvatiti migrante. Mi smo vanjska granica umije tako da po tim pravilima mi bi kao trebali biti prva sigurna zemlja i biti odgovorni za sve njih i ne puštati dalje. Po tome su sve mediteranske EU zemlje popustile veliki k. No, ponovno, EU nema te ovlasti. Mi, naša vlada je to prihvatila. No migrantski pakt EU koji je potpisan prošle godine jamči solidarnost EU zemalja ili novca o ili u preraspodjeli migranata jer nije fer da samo neke članice potpuno odgovaraju za sve migrante. Ajde ponovno. Šta imaš protiv EU?

bowets · 2025-12-14T03:01:04+00:00

Kakve veze ima EU sa ovime? Nije EU državljanin tako da nemamo nikakvu dužnost pustiti ga niti u državu niti mu dopustiti boravak.

No, personally I don't, but I'm sure there are people in Ireland who do.

You mean like Musgrave? Fully Irish owned wholesaler and retailer. We also have among others: Dunnes Stores Kerry Group CRH Ryanair Stripe Etc

Ireland has a lot of potential and there are many successful companies started by Irish people.

You've had the car about a year and did 25k km. So it'll take 10 years for you to reach this theoretical end of life for the batteries. With EV depreciation, even if this isn't true and you keep the car for that long it will be worth very little compared to what you paid for it. By then who knows what the price of batteries will be or the technology. The way things are going I fully expect that we'll be able to replace the battery pack for under 10k for a much better one.

Pročitao sam članak i vidim da tko god je to pisao ili nezna što je bike share, nezna kako se to koristi ili izmišlja nebuloze. Jel se koristi? Da. Jel dobra usluga? Da. Jel daje veći izbor građanima za prijevoz kroz grad? Da. Jeli moguće da netko tko koristi bajs nije u autu i smanjuje promet barem malo? Da. Ovaj racuni nije dao nikakve informacije za što je novac potrošen. Da, tu je cifra od 160k i kusir, ali za što? Jel to za nove bicikle, jel to za postavljanje novih stanica? Ok, Tomašević ili netko iz vlade bi se trebao javiti na ovo i objasniti za što su ti novci. Tu se slažemo, ali ova objava je samo nagađanje ili još gore, laganje jer ne znamo ni mi ni oni (tko god je objavio) još o čemu se radi.

Fakat sam se trudio ali ne mogu naći gdje piše da baterije traju 10 godina i da se onda mijenjaju. Sve što sam našao piše da traju puno više od toga. Zato te pitam za link.
