The results seem to be exactly what they realistically should be? KO underdelivered after the first 100 days, 3rd Way made a lot of blunders and played no role and PiS managed to claw back some votes after they finally rallied. Szczurek was Gdynia’s president for 25 years, so was Majchrowski na Krakow I think. The biggest upset is Konfa getting a president somewhere. Oskar Szafarowicz didn’t get a seat in Warsaw so that’s a win. https://x.com/Szafarowicz2001/status/1777214105163559131 Mokotow fucked around with this message at 14:45 on Apr 8, 2024 |

At least that's how it goes here in Finland. 150+ km from Helsinki the highway infrastructure turns aggressively 1980's unless its a single-digit highway.

Same in Tallinn: unless you live in commie block area or city center you are second rate as you don't vote for the unironically corrupt party running the city. Public transit takes over an hour to do what car does in 20 mins. Solution: ban cars.

haddedam posted:Same in Tallinn: unless you live in commie block area or city center you are second rate as you don't vote for the unironically corrupt party running the city. This, but unironically. Riga does the opposite. As job creators live in the suburbs, it's all about making sure car commutes are unimpeded and all the only transportation issues microdistricts actually need solving is the lack of parking. Only modern day Sharikovs want walkable cities and only out of envy, not actual need. Anyway, that reminds me. Rail Baltica sounds increasingly problematic, if not hosed, at least the Latvian part of it. There was some talk that it might actually have to bypass Riga or change the route to a cheaper alternative, because there the ambitious loop to the airport will vastly overrun cost projections. A planned BRT line has already been cancelled to divert funds there, but that's a drop in the bucket, as the project is short at least 3 billion by now.

I never got the rail baltica bitching. We have direct rail lines to russia but nobody wants to go there, on the other hand it's great for cargo. However if I could use trains to go to europe and rest of balts I'd do it often. Especially If the train also transports cars cause it's hell driving to biekerniki in a racecar.

My roommate was a volunteer on that game’s early development, before it morphed into a commercial product. I lost track of it and didn’t know it ever made it to market. My friend managed to eek out a career in QA eventually so I guess some good came out of it.

Huh, looks neat! 11bit is based on Brzeska so if they have Praga goons in their game, they don’t have to look far for inspiration. (Though, AFAIK, there’s like just a few bad dudes left on Brzeska and Zabkowska and they’ll all be bought out in a year or two) Mokotow fucked around with this message at 18:24 on Apr 9, 2024 |

I finally found my rye flakes. At the mall of all places. Lady at the register told me they don't have them, which is what I heard from every store so far. But as I'm leaving the manager stops me and asks how much I need. One kilo? Two kilograms? More? I said lets start with one and if the product is good we'll look at a bigger buy next time. She says she needs to make a phone call and goes into the back room. A minute later she comes out and tells me there'll be 2 kg in case I change my mind and even if I don't it's good stuff so she expects I'll come right back for more. I ask what day is the delivery day and she said it's nothing like that because these don't get sent with the normal deliveries. I ask if I pay now and she said no this transaction doesn't go through the till 'because the barcodes on them are faulty and they don't scan' so I should bring cash. Now the chances that this is something sketchy, like her running a side business while working for the chain health-food store, are low. And if she's doing the equivalent of dropshipping, collecting orders and then buying from the online retailers that normally charge 30 zł for shipping (which is why I'm avoiding them), she's doing a bad job of it: the price she gave me was less than the online retailers. But it did feel like a drug deal.

Yeah, I think it is that! As expected, Albania turned out to be probably the least visibly muslim country I’ve been to with a majority muslim population. The drummers were everywhere up north, in the poor mountains wedged against Macedonia and Greece. Even there, mosques are few and far between. Tirana and surroundings seem almost secular, and then the number of mosques gors up dramatically as you near the Montenegrin border and cross it. Strangely enough, the valleys around Podgorica and Bar are very muslim, while the cities are absolutely dominated by christian churches. Not wanting to be negative, I won’t say much about Albania. It’s best to drive through as fast as possible, but specially through Tirana, where we became involved in a bizarre three car chase the moment we entered the city highway. I imagine it’s an amazing place if you want to travel off the beaten path, especially in the east. The Accursed Mountain, known also as Albanian Alps, look insane even from far away and seem to deserve the name. It was a bit of a relief to get to Montenegro, only to find that Bar on the coast looks much less like Yugoslavia and much more like Russia. The street markings, buildings, road signs, not to mention every 5th car actually being from Russia, drive that impressions home. You can also see that Russians have invested a lot in the last few years into the coastal properties - I’m in a small town now outside Bar in a Russian-owned hotel tower, with 5 more around in various stages of completion. The biggest surprise so far is how much the EU and Germany in particular are investing here - all Albanian border crossings, for example, have been built by Germany, which is proudly displayed. Kosovo is absolutely dominated by german engineering and construction firms, either building infrastructure or light manufacturing. Both Macedonia and Albania are also seeing investments, mostly into highways it’s pretty clear the goal is to have a trans-Ionnian highway running continuously from Triest to the end of the Peloponnese peninsula. The other effort is to create a spur of the Turkey-Bulgaria-Serbia highway, with an intersection in Niš that will cross Kosovo (it’s actually mostly done - from Pristina almost all the way to Tirana), allowing for faster transit to Trieste and on. I actually did not realize the volume of Turkish truck traffic going through Serbia, but it’s so significant most highway stops south of Belgrade have “we speak/are Turkish” and “we serve halal” signs. The amazing thing is these projects are actually 50% done, with highway stretches all over the Balkans.
