Flying Dutchman @flyingnl.bsky.social · 04/10/2026But also... www.cnbc.com/2026/09/30/o...cnbc.comTrump administration starts sending $500 Obamacare refund checks — who stands to benefitThe refunds come after millions of people lost premium subsidies for their health insurance and right before the midterm elections. 100
Flying Dutchman @flyingnl.bsky.social · 29/09/2026I sometimes see them turn onto the bike path at Lake Nokomis Pkwy W and Cedar, but this is a new one that's also completely baffling. I can barely get my bike past the bollards! 170
Flying Dutchman @flyingnl.bsky.social · 29/09/2026May you never find yourself seated at this table. If you do, you've made a mistake somewhere along the line. 011
Flying Dutchman @flyingnl.bsky.social · 19/09/2026I drive an EV and am an avid cyclist. I fully support creating biking and walking, and I drive to work. I don't think putting things in binary terms when solutions can be multi-pronged is useful. It just divides people, forcing them to take a side. 100
Flying Dutchman @flyingnl.bsky.social · 19/09/2026And that's with nearly 400km of bike trails and lanes. 000
Flying Dutchman @flyingnl.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Public transportation and biking are not viable options in some places. Areas need to be dense to work. 100
Flying Dutchman @flyingnl.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Seville isn't a modern American metropolis. The city I live in has around 320k residents. The metropolitan area houses over 3m. It is three times the size of the country of Luxembourg and 50 percent larger than the Seville metro. My work is 32km from my house, and it drops to -30C in the winter. 100
Flying Dutchman @flyingnl.bsky.social · 19/09/2026That's my point. We can do two things at once. Rapid adoption of evs helps solve climate, pollution and noise issues in the short term. City redesign is a very long term project. It's not either/or, it's and. 4121
Flying Dutchman @flyingnl.bsky.social · 18/09/2026It will take another century to undo the trillions in investment that we have in the status quo. Doing the best with what we've got is probably the best solution to address current transportation needs, while new projects are built to slowly transition to more walkable/bikeable cities. 2130
Flying Dutchman @flyingnl.bsky.social · 18/09/2026EVs are still the best worst option for people who do actually need a car. No point in letting perfect be the enemy of good. 3340
Flying Dutchman @flyingnl.bsky.social · 17/09/2026A mild understatement, and not kind to fucking morons. 000
Flying Dutchman @flyingnl.bsky.social · 10/09/2026I'm a BMW i4 guy myself, but definitely cross-shopped the etron GT. The lack of a hatch was a dealbreaker for me. 110
Flying Dutchman @flyingnl.bsky.social · 09/09/2026But that's true of all EVs, no matter how good they are. Except maybe the Bolt, because it's starting price is so low to begin with. 110
Flying Dutchman @flyingnl.bsky.social · 09/09/2026Respectfully disagree. When the original etron was released it was the best EV on the market in terms of capability and comfort. The etron GT is a Taycan with slightly lighter steering, still ultra competitive on charging, and a great roadtripper with its adaptive air suspension. 201
Flying Dutchman @flyingnl.bsky.social · 07/09/2026I wonder if Iceland will feel differently about the EU after seeing this. 001
Flying Dutchman @flyingnl.bsky.social · 07/09/2026Would love to see the gender breakdown. Wonder if this is young disaffected white guys, just like MAGA. 230
Flying Dutchman @flyingnl.bsky.social · 05/09/2026The owner is very nice! And this thing is so fun to be in. 042
Flying Dutchman @flyingnl.bsky.social · 30/08/2026Try Here WeGo. Owned by BMW, Mercedes-Benz, and Audi. 000
Flying Dutchman @flyingnl.bsky.social · 30/08/2026In case anyone is looking for a Google Maps alternative that has t completely bent the knee to the mad king, try Here WeGo. Based on Europe, owned by BMW, Audi and Mercedes-Benz. 000
Flying Dutchman @flyingnl.bsky.social · 27/08/2026Not really a looks issue. Probably more to do with the insane price and brutal depreciation. If this thing sold well optioned for the price of a Cayenne, you'd see a lot more of them. Instead, 50 percent more expensive. 110
Flying Dutchman @flyingnl.bsky.social · 25/08/2026Dolly Parton dying hit hard. A genuinely kind and wonderful person. She will be missed. 000
Flying Dutchman @flyingnl.bsky.social · 25/08/2026Free idea for Canada: place export taxes on key products not subject to tariffs rather than imposing tariffs on US goods. Include oil, gas, potash, minerals. Hurt the US, not yourself. 000
Flying Dutchman @flyingnl.bsky.social · 17/08/2026I have Swiss Gear from Target. Very light. Has lasted a decade and has been on over 100 trips. 000
Flying Dutchman @flyingnl.bsky.social · 14/08/2026I have bad news for Michelle about Angie Craig voters. I was one of them, and there's no way in hell I would vote for her. Just because she wasn't my preferred candidate doesn't mean I won't vote against fascism in the general. 050
Flying Dutchman @flyingnl.bsky.social · 12/08/2026I got one of these a few years ago. I don't even have plants next to my garage. 010
Flying Dutchman @flyingnl.bsky.social · 06/08/2026For everyone in the back: you can't hold someone in contempt for exercising their constitution rights. 041
Flying Dutchman @flyingnl.bsky.social · 04/08/2026I get what you're saying but they're sorted by natural to modified. Although putting heat and creamer together is a weird choice. I don't like the way this looks nor does it really make that much sense. 010
Flying Dutchman @flyingnl.bsky.social · 25/07/2026It's devastating because it lays bare that this kid was still a kid, and he died for no reason. 050
Flying Dutchman @flyingnl.bsky.social · 25/07/2026Hummer EVs are ugly, inefficient, heavy and generally completely insane. But their charging performance/statistics are bonkers: this guy put in 188kWh in 59 minutes, and that was only 81 percent of his battery capacity. 1102
Flying Dutchman @flyingnl.bsky.social · 24/07/2026AI skeptics are wrong. Anyone who uses it regularly for advanced tasks knows that improvements are coming so fast that within a few years they will be essential productivity tools. 000
Flying Dutchman @flyingnl.bsky.social · 22/07/2026I used "coffer" and got questioned about its meaning. 020
Flying Dutchman @flyingnl.bsky.social · 22/07/2026This is so dumb I don't even know if it warrants a reply. Paying the tariff will probably be cheaper than making these drugs domestically. It's an utter waste of time to spend money to pump out generics when that capital could be used to develop and produce new life-changing drugs. 140
Flying Dutchman @flyingnl.bsky.social · 20/07/2026I believe this was the last car in production that had a cassette player. 000
Flying Dutchman @flyingnl.bsky.social · 20/07/2026Good news is that it doesn't apply to stuff already subject to national security tariffs, which auto parts are. So Detroit lives another day. 071
Flying Dutchman @flyingnl.bsky.social · 20/07/2026Auto parts were hit by the national security tariffs so should be exempt here. 1252
