It really depends on your exact needs but there’s plenty to choose from. This is not an exhaustive list, but I’ve been looking for a few months because I need to retire my old ICE Volvo and these are some of the ones that caught my eye. I tend to take the train or plane when the trip is 3+h, so I might go for one of the cheaper ones, e.g. ë-C3 has a 320km range which is plenty for me, and at that price point, I don’t need to finance it.

Citroën ë-C3 20k Volvo ex30 36k Peugeot e-208 28k KIA ev3 33k Hyundai Kona 31k

You might be interested in looking into the Chinese brands also, MG and BYD have decent offerings as well.

At least for Europe that’s not the case any more. The US market might be different but here there’s plenty of cars in the €25/30k range with 350+ km range from the traditional manufacturers. They also have established dealership networks for repairs, financing, testing, etc.

I really think Tesla has ficked it up big time, at least here.

Mr Barrot also signalled that France would be ready to send troops to Greenland if requested by Denmark to defend it against a bid by Trump to seize it militarily, but doubted this would happen.

Good stuff. No backing down from bullies

glad to hear it

I say pull them all, that would cripple their power projection towards Africa, Europe and the Middle East, and move forward with the creation of a EU Army.

If this is how the US acts when they are being petulant, I think we as Europeans should act quickly and start preparing for the worst and start moving troops. They are right now threatening with invasion I can’t even fathom how they behave when they are down right belligerent.

It makes perfect sense. Trump has threatened to invade Greenland. Troops on the ground would serve as a deterrent.

we’re living in the weirdest time line

Fuck the US, it’s time to stand together as Europeans

There’s classicpress

Yeah, I agree with your point, it’s just that you chose a pretty bad example. I happen to know the northeast pretty well because I moved here and I could go into detail about Oviedo, León or Coruña but I really don’t care enough about it to argue my point any further. I hope you have a nice rest of your day :)

I am unfortunately. It’s also unfortunate that it happens everywhere else in Europe. Having lived in Germany the minijobs situation is kind of similar. I lived in London for a couple of years too and I remember shit like that happening with internships at the company I worked for at the time and friends working at bars BTW, if you know of cases like that, you should report them. There’s a government anonymous report system and they do check the reports.

My bad, I somehow thought that was the average.

Still, it’s apples and oranges. Minimum wage is 1323€, way over the 1k you mention, you’d pay no taxes on that, and you could buy a house for as low as 20k in a smaller sized city like Ponferrada.

I’m not saying it’s not hard, I’m just saying Spain’s housing situation is nothing like in other places like the Netherlands or Germany. Your example was just a bit disingenuous. You don’t buy a 250k flat if you’re on median wage. But you can buy one almost everywhere else. It’s kind of like comparing prices London and some village in Wales.

Spain is huge and extremely concentrated in a few places. The housing crisis in Madrid and Barcelona could easily be solved by decentralization and moving national institutions to other places.

I’m sure personal finances play a role but that’s not the whole picture. There’s all sorts of sociological factors involved (tertiary education, women entering the work force in mass, contraception, etc.) People just don’t want to have as many children as before, if any at all, and there’s almost no social pressure in the other direction. It’s a global trend.

BTW, I’m in Spain and your numbers are all over the place. Median monthly salary pre-tax is 2400€. Greater metropolitan areas are more expensive re housing, but salaries are also higher. Outside of those housing is dirt cheap. 75% of the population own their home, compared to 65% in the UK for instance.

It’s just that they fly a flag of convenience, but the crew, apparently is mostly Russian.

Hong Kong flag this time.

Being open source means exactly that, anyone can fork it and continue development if need be. I really don’t understand what you’re trying to say

As long as they remain open source I see no problem with that. I use both in my server and they’re both great products, with the plus that you don’t have to deal with any of Google’s shitty practices.

I’m mostly OK with the changes. Moving on the veto, for the most part, is probably the biggest. The rise of rogue fascists governments in EU countries blocking everything made decision making almost impossible, so it makes sense.
