And the 58€ ticket is valid nationwide. In theory, you could cover distances of 1000 km with it from North to South. It’s still a pretty good deal, but if people only use it occasionally and own a car anyway, the math is probably not in favour of it.
Not great, but it was bound to happen and I can afford it. I hope that those in need can still get it cheaper without a price hike.
That’s fine. I rode a Vespa for two years with a manual transmission before I did my car license, so I had the basics of throttle, clutch and shifting figured out way before my first lesson. Although I consider myself a skilled driver, my first hour with a pretty easy to drive manual car included lots of stalling the engine. I learned how to get moving on an incline and also reverse parallel parking that same day, which was a little strange.
I’ve seen a hedgehog injured by a mowing robot. Deep cuts in its back, infested by maggots. We fed the animal some cat food, which it wolfed down and puked out again, then gave the little guy (not fully grown) to experts who nursed it back to full health before releasing it into the wild again. It was not a pretty sight.
The magic word is: Unions. Without them, we would absolutely not have a minimum of 24 days per year by law. Get out there and unionize.
Well, in the land of the free. Never saw one in Europe.
Yeah no shit. The thing is, those supercars are insanely loud from factory. I was behind a pair of Diablo SVs in a traffic jam on the motorway once, and even then they pretty much drowned out the sound of the little 500 cc motorcycle engine between my legs. I have no idea how those things are deemed street legal.
Edit: It’s not about the revs alone, but also engine load. 3000 rpm stationary might be relatively quiet, but 3000 rpm with the throttle blades wide open is an entirely different matter.
That car cruising at 30 mph in the city is probably louder than a Honda Civic when you put the loud pedal all the way down on the freeway.
Didn’t sound like you were geniunely asking for advice on how to decipher. To me, the post title is more or less “Wtf is this shit?”.
Edit: Which is exactly what the subtitle said.
There is an ongoing political discussion (maybe they passed a law already, not sure) about banning the public carrying of various types of knives. I had the impression that the discussion came out of nowhere and for no apparent reason, but maybe I was wrong.
The arrogance is astounding. They still act like their ICE are current technology.
