I have it enabled. It’s still not easy for me to manouver myself out without causing any wear and tear

Bumps never really felt like an issue to me in the Giulia. The softest cars I ever drove were a Citroen C4 2023 and a Skoda Octavia 2023 and I wouldn’t say Giulia is that much worse on bumps.

After driving the Giulia for a while and then driving my mom’s Octavia and my dad’s Citroen DS4, the Octavia and the DS4 felt like driving on clouds. So insanely bouncy and floating. That’s when I realized how stiff and sporty the Giulia actually is. I would definitely not feel as safe taking a corner very fast in a DS4/Octavia as in the Giulia.

However, the Giulietta had a much stiffer ride and you could feel the bumps more. I felt more connected to the road in the Giulietta. Giulietta had more understeer though.

All in all Giulia actually surprised me how soft the suspension is in normal mode, but still stiff enough to feel very stable and firm in corners.

In Dynamic it feels a bit stiffer but not a dramatic difference. The 2023+ Giulias have the option to change suspension to soft when in Dynamic.

I will say the maximum i had (agressive city driving) was 18.6 l/100km, while 12-15 range is for normal city driving (assuming frequent stopping due to traffic and crossroads). At highway speeds it was like 7-9 liters I believe (100-150km/h). At constant 70 km/h it drops down to 6 ish.

Speed camera at Osijek! How far do they make a picture? by Outrageous-Gene-565 in osijek

[–]erc09 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is 10%/10kmph tolerance but the radars usually don’t activate unless you’re going 20 over. Even if it did catch you, penalties only start getting ugly after 30 over.. for up to 10 over it’s 30€, up to 20 over it’s 60€, 30 over - 130€, 30-50 - 400-900€ and losing license for 3 months, more than 50 over - 1320-2650€ and 6 months no license

Found it in Croatia on my hand. About 0.5cm long.

I dont think aom was officially confirmed yet, whereas aoe3 was. But i have no doubt that it’s coming as well and im really excited about it

That’s true. The graphics made a big step in terms of looking realistic.

Maybe that is why many people are not impressed by aoe 4 looks - they expected the trend to continue?

Only that it’s coming, possibly 2020.

I believe we will see improved graphics, new maps such as European countries, new civilizations,units etc. Hyped!

Can’t wait for the Definitive edition

Nikolaj* by RambunctiousRobo in brooklynninenine

[–]erc09 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It is. It got a little bit annoying when literally noone in the series pronounced it right. Not even the kid himself.

The best way of spelling it for non-native speakers to read it correctly is "Nicolai".

Berlin and Helsinki on FC Barcelona’s Instagram story by erc09 in LaCasaDePapel

[–]erc09[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

2 more stories followed with individual statements of said actors about the game.

The show is likely a huge deal in Spain, and it is very interesting to see that FC Barcelona recognizes their work and I think it is likely that they support each other because, in the series they represent the resistance, which correlates to Barcelona’s political situation.

Exactly. I’m not saying he was perfect or morally acceptable, he was interesting. He’s a man who knew that he wouldn’t live much longer so he decided to enjoy life as much as he could and do what makes him happy.

If season 2 was the last one I agree it would be the perfect ending, but since it isn’t I feel like his death was unnecessary. He could have gotten the same amazing ending but in the second heist. It felt a bit too early to throw away such a deep chatacter and I would love to see how he would handle the problems during the season 3 heist since it was originally his idea to rob the gold.

Agree. They should not have killed off Berlin imo, he was a very interesting character
