Diesel is funny - it was 11 eurocents over the gas price, within a week it went to 11 eurocents under. Still not as bad as Germany where I saw 2.20 EUR two weeks ago, but yeah, Poles are not going to accept it staying over 1.74 EUR. Petrol and diesel have the same prices right now in Italy, 1,99€, which funnily enough are lower than the prices from Slovenia (it's usually the opposite). The price is pretty much the same since the start of the conflict.

alex314 posted:I wanted to get an EV since vast majority of my trips are 120km max. But then there are those ~20 trips per year that are longer than that which would either require expensive EV with at least 400km real life range, being forced to rely on sparse Polish recharge station grid or just renting an ICE car.. Ended up getting a hybrid, since back then I couldn't justify shelling 30% extra for a plug-in hybrid. Also WFH is amazing, having to pay 8PLN/L hurts way less if you fill the tank twice a month. Several brands offer EVs with a secondary car rental sub, where you can grab a temp petrol car for extra long journeys(it's decent for ~30 trips yearly, if you use it more it starts getting costly enough to warrant a dedicated petrol car). Fiat does that for the 500e in some euro markets, where you get three years of spot car rental from leasys.

Italy removed mandatory service the year i was up and I see a clear difference in attitude/behavior from kids like me (that didn't had to do a year of bullshit) compared to people that did. Lot of kids in modern western societies won't leave home unless they have a gun pointed to their heads so being forced to stay away and meet different people has a real effect. Not saying reintroducing it will automatically do good but, given the option of civil service, there is a remote chance that it might do some. Civil service used to be a common seasonal option for unemployed youngsters but nowadays it's pretty much dead here.

I'm envisioning the eu mentats thinking that keeping the Russian gauge is equivalent of being kept into the Russian sphere of influence, leading to Finland having to rip the tracks out on the threat of no more development funds. It's likely going to be a situation where all the tracks are on eu gauge beside a few interconnections on the Russian border.

I am currently on an at the time expensive plan (to avoid dynamic pricing loving us with daytime aircon expenses) that locked the pricing for five years and it's currently equivalent as the government fixed prices. Once the price lock goes away i'm going to be dragged thru coals with a devastating price hike.

Oh it's even funnier here, historically all the utilities were local government owned, buying core power and gas centrally, which have been all privatized but with a government imposed maximum prices. Utilities owners cried for years about being treated unfairly and the government finally decided to kill the central price fix a few years back and then flip flopped about for i think a solid five years(it's still in flux), so you could go central fixed prices(which could disappear SlowBloke fucked around with this message at 12:01 on Aug 19, 2022 |

cinci zoo sniper posted:Huh, apparently there’s a homegrown Humvee-style vehicle development pretty far along the development track in Latvia. This humvee clone looks like a over glorified dakar buggy with pretty much zero armor on sides and very little on the bottom(no V hull for IED/mines protection is no bueno in 2022). Even more armored cars fielded in ukraine are getting swatted like flies daily so i'm not seeing a big advantage over conventional armored recon. I would guess it will fare as good as a not uparmored lince/Rhys.

cinci zoo sniper posted:Side doors and poo poo is all supposed to be modular, with the displayed model being a prototype of the most lightweight configuration, probably like that due to all the swamps we have. No idea about the bottom, but it’s supposedly designed going off a list of checkboxes gradually sent in by our military, so I struggle to imagine this being an omission by accident. Having a lightweight modular vehicle usually ends up in the armor package being an option rarely purchased due to prices, which is a worry for a country without endless defense budgets. I think our army Iveco LMV armor packs cover less than 15% of the fleet(the burned out husks of the Russian army Rhys licensed variant in Ukraine were always without).

The context here would be that we’re buying 200+ Patria 6x6 vehicles already - that fits 2000 passengers, using baby math, and our army proper is 1 mechanised infantry brigade. Since 6x6 has a fuel tank for roughly 1.2 Latvias across, and can go 100 kmph on highway, the users for this buggy, if it passes testing and all the parts involved in making it a product they can legally sell to NATO armed force, would basically be non-frontline national guardsmen? One thing that is worrisome of this kind of vehicles, where the core units is a over glorified dune buggy with poo poo strapped on, is that its chassis is sometimes far from sturdy. One Iveco LMV got into a crash with a Smart Fortwo(hitting the security cell of the Smart) where the smart got some side panels damage and the lmv got totaled.
