Sure, but I wouldnt think it will dominate the news for that long. But like I said, I know nothing.

Really? A extremely old and frail man dies and it will dominate the news for a week? I predict 0.5-1 days of full headlines about it, the next day some memorials and tributes, third day maybe some deep dive analysis of his work and then not much until the funeral.

I’m, of course, talking out of ignorance. I’m not american and dont know much about Carter but based on how stuff went in my country when a old and beloved ex-president died, there was a few days of tributes etc. Then the funeral and thats it.

They’ll read this as 25% less arrests = 25% more people not arrested and are able to make it trough.

Now I’m imagining him at some garage, a mechanic asks him to bring a screwdriver and he goes out and brings a screwed driver from his golf bag.

I know. But the mental image of him trying to use one is hilarious.

Or maybe he accidentally bought a cheap and fake Milwaukee electric drill for his home improvement project.

I think your number is missing a zero or two :D

If you count only the material losses, didnt russia lose like a half a billion worth of stuff just in the last week or so? Couple of their best jets that were destroyed alone are like 200million. Then there was those radar and anti air complexes and all the smaller things on top of that.

Hell, the sinking of moskva alone is worth quite a bit, I would think.

Have you forgotten to take some of your meds lately? You wrote like how I imagine jared letos Joker writes.

Oh nice. Yeah that was a legendary moment. Do I remember correctly, Timo had to hang out of the window to keep the cars ass off the road? Or was that some other one…?

Who is arguing about it? In some other thread I assume since no one in this one is

I’m more of a Grönholm person myself.

Sorry, that was me. I was late from sauna at friends place and had to get the beers before the shops stop selling it.

I recently got recommended the spnys new piece of shit that does nothing video. It was still excellent.

As a car enthusiast/mechanic/nerd I say “excellent!”

When I was younger, the city centre (ciry of Tampere) was a loud and messy place and I didnt like to go there. Now they’ve banned cars from the main street (Hämeenkatu), lowered the speeds to 30km/h, built some bicycle lanes etc. Its sooo much nicer now. I take random walks trough the centre just because I like looking at the buildings and people going about their business. I have surprised many of my old friends, because they lived with the idea that I hate the centre for 15 years.

And when it comes to bus/bicycle lanes… I have never understood the people whining about them. They are not removing your ability to drive, they are giving others safer amd better options to not drive. And from what I’ve observed, big portion of bicyclists are people who are unsure drivers. Isnt it better that those people have a good alternative to driving? That way they wont be slowing Mr. Wannabe Verstappen on his wild drive to the groecery shop.

I think I lost my train of thought and dont remember what else I was supposed to write. Oh well, back to banging a alfa romeo with a big hammer

Obligatory response from a Finn: it is a silly place full of silly people and a bit gay.

Serious note: I love the silly swedes and their silly country.

I think its an annual thing but this year was the 80th(?) anniversary so it was a bigger deal.

A few years ago I was looking into buying a old bus and building a eurocruiser out of it. Had plans for putting a sauna in the back lol… anyway, you could get a volvo or a scania bus from the 1980s or early 1990s for a few thousand euros. Those things will have a million billion kilometers on the dial but they will do another million quite easily if needed.

The biggest tell is how people who identify as left all hete Bidden.

Really? Your best evidence of Biden/democrats being fascist is that people on the left hate them?

I’m going to assume you mean the democrats when you say “facism-light”

Why do you think they are facism-light? (Asking this as a non-american, trying to understand different points of views)
