Note the € sign - it’ll be nearly as expensive and you’ll only find 2-3 flavors if you’re lucky (US expat in NL)

Op: Brew your own tea and make your own. Or reduce it by half and add it as a concentrate to fizzy water if you need the bubbles. Also, equal parts sugar and water, low heat in a saucepan until reduced by ⅓-½ and you’ve got sugar syrup. That lasts in the fridge forever, and you can make it as sweet or not as you’d like.

Agreed. No idea why you got downvoted; if I wanted ads I’d subscribe to cable and not a streamer who’s also using the ads to track me further.

Have not seen that in the Netherlands but I’m still dropping it. Haven’t seen anything we enjoyed watching for months (and Prime delivery still takes a week in most cases).

Yes, often known as “When I want your opinion, I’ll give it to you”-syndrome.

Interesting that’s it’s an ally and not a foe - that suggests (if it’s not a true accident) that the top is beginning to jostle for position.

That, or fate loves irony.

Thanks for the laugh, Ivan. Now go back to your bread line and piss off.

This is exactly how carpetbaggers used to work. Scam one town, move on to the next.

We should call these scammers what they really are.

Agreed. We paid no attention to Trump and he’s spearheading these groups. You need to be vigilant from the start or else they’ll continue thinking you’re weak. Any corrective actions later seem like overreach and then they only gain MORE ground.

Or Apple. /c/technology is an Apple hatefest.

You’re spot on - I’m not feeling like I really care about either place these days. Maybe I’ve outgrown social media, especially if the content is high-school level Absolutism.

Will do! Party on yourself and happy holidays!

Wow. 137F? That’s crazy… my wife is Indonesian so we’re moving to Bali, but north on the island where the beaches aren’t great but there’s the sea air to keep you cool. Building a small villa with a pool as well (3m x 8m) for swimming but I still love the beachy vibe of the restaurants and shops along the coast area. Island life - got to love it!

Same. Fam had a home on LBI in the Terrace oceanside and the damn sand was fire in July & August. God forbid you tried to walk down onto the asphalt streets for the 6 houses up to yours… it was hot and sticky as it would melt and you’d get tar on your feet (walking the curb was sanctuary).

Building my retirement house now on an island and I’ll be happy with .6km to the beach. I can still see the water and smell the salt air, and that’s great.

Infuse fills in the gaps. Don’t even need a plex server anymore (it works better imho)

And you missed my point - it’s migrating value, not creating new value. Anyway, being pedantic also misses the point - we should take up gardening. 👍

Go dig up “Amerika”, the ABC miniseries from the 80s. Republicans lambasted it, but don’t you know they seem to have taken it as a playbook.

Unless we fight back early and often, we’ll have been taken without realizing it, and Democracy will die in the dark.

Do you really believe anyone gave a damn about dieselgate or gives a damn about climate change now?

You told me all you need to tell me about yourself. Goodbye.

That should pay for some Ukrainian upgrades.

Technically he’s also removing himself in the process, so nil sum gain.

Tesla wasn’t alone in the push. Nissan’s Leaf was very popular but Tesla made it cool. Cool, as long as you cold afford it, but dieselgate and climate change are what made EVs a necessity today.

But to the original point - why do you think we need to repeat common news from the past few months? He’s been trying to union bust and the entire distribution chain in Norway is fighting back - maybe do some reading first before launching a defense?

So what? Diess was optimistic but had to also drag German labor along, and that market has rights US union could only dream of.

But he worked cooperatively with them, even through a worldwide pandemic. They’re still waiting for parts.

We’re far beyond that pandemic and Elon is doing whatever his highness wants, when he wants it. Surprise, surprise - it doesn’t get him anywhere outside of Republican-controlled territories, and he’s having a hissy fit on X.

I, meanwhile, munch popcorn and enjoy driving the VW ID.3 I bought in place of the Model 3 order I cancelled. Fuck Musk - he gets none of my money, and clearly nothing from Norway either.
