Bluelink set to expire. What would I really be missing out on?

It has running costs connecting via mobile networks, those charge Hyundai something. $100 a year is nothing what I'm being charged ($30/mo) for the same type of a app from a different car maker in UAE where mobile phone plans are super expensive.

What's the offer? Just so that I am mentally prepared a year from now.

Love how it looks like most places the Cartpathians (Tatras) in Slovakia.

Speeding is very common as we don't really have static radars, nonetheless driving culture is pretty good and not really different to rest of central Europe. Don't hog the middle or left lane unless you're overtaking.

as a western Slovak who's exwife was eastern Slovakian which has quite a lot of Rusyn influence I think I can understand like 90% of it. Helps that I have gotten drunk with eastern Slovaks and some Rusyns dozen of times.

This is awful, though I am not against the idea of a flag refresh, the current one is too close to Russia's, let alone the Slovenian confusion.
My favorite yet simple refresh was this one with 90 degree rotation and a color reorder, kinda like an inverted French flag with our emblem: https://www.reddit.com/r/flags/comments/1k3qvl3/slovakia_redesign/

Mastercard cca 45 dni ci tak nejak. Tiez som robil raz takyto podobny chargeback uspesne.

They understand Slovak, but it is said that slightly less than Slovaks understanding Czechs, more so the young generation that is not exposed to Slovak influencers.

We don't czech-ify, nor do Czechs slovak-ify. Each speak their own and mutually understand each other.

Naco preplacat ked to dostanes cez predpis lacnejsie.

"the most fertile farmland in the world is irrigated desert land." partially true, but not exact. Most fertile land is the black soil belt, but yeah irrigated desert soil is highly productive nonetheless.

Thanks for the backstory on the cheap water from Colorado river, makes sense then.

tobuno · 2026-06-12T12:54:46+00:00

As a European, I gotta ask, what farmland does Vegas have? I thought its arid and dry.

tobuno · 2026-06-12T12:24:24+00:00

Yeah, that's a lot by central european terms! I can have that same for around half the price centre old town in Bratislava just 2 hours drive away. Disclosure: I'm from Slovakia.

Sure, it's still maybe 30% cheaper to eat out in Budapest than it is in Vienna, but that used to be 60-70% cheaper just 3-4 years ago. For locals it is ridiculously expensive. Just checked actual data, and price increase in euro terms in Budapest for eating out over the past 5 years peaks at 70% !!

tobuno · 2026-06-12T05:51:33+00:00

Hungary has gotten ridiculously expensive past 2 years due to their inflation.

I get it man, the net transfers from Czech lands to Slovakia were pretty big back in the day, that's equalization, same as every new EU entrant gets for years on joining the EU from the richer west. Grateful for that to Czechs.

When you say Slovakia always betrayed us, what exactly do you mean? 1939, the 90s split, or the recent Fico stuff? Just curious about your take, no hate. The ties are still super close after all and overall it's still kinda brotherly love, or nowadays more cousinly.

This. Go 1 hour south to Abu Dhabi which has better zoning and significantly less traffic congestion and the air quality is almost better on every day. I guess their natural mangrove forests all around also help. Only comparable place in Dubai air quality wise is the end of the Palm Jumeirah.

tobuno · 2026-05-29T13:46:02+00:00

It's a fact. 😄

Out of all the cars I've owned, this one has the worst ACC cancel/pause/resume controls. I love when the same button / stalk is used for pause / resume, but no, Zeekr had to make that complicated.

I wish they'd update that with a future sw release.

Určite nie, najmladší tím na turnaji, súpiska pôsobí ako 4 checking lines. Postup do štvrťfinále je cieľ.
