Wait until he hears about Russia, where the results arrive even BEFORE people have voted. That’s what you can call efficient!

Germans must have had really tall garages back in the days…

That one I could actually almost believe to be true

Many of those older cars were literal death traps

No you are paying for 30+ years of reduction of resilience in supply chains that can’t handle a drop in supply (covid) and a surge in demand. There are three producers of RAM chips worldwide and one company that can build the lithography machines

Meanwhile in Northern Europe, kWh prices are negative thanks to surplus of renewables…

Mutual experience/tech sharing with Ukraine, along with funding for domestic companies perhaps? What I meant is just that I don’t think the western countries should build large stockpiles of drones, because they become obsolete before you blink. Not suggesting they sit back and relax 🙂

gmurf.bsky.social @gmurf.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

As opposed to building large stockpiles of similar drones in western countries where they will just become obsolete or being donated to Ukraine while costing much more to build

010

gmurf.bsky.social @gmurf.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

TBH, I don’t really know how impressive those numbers are, to a layman it looks similar to what others build. What I meant is maybe mass production of drones is best done locally as the production capacity is already there, they have scaled up already and you get more air defense per dollar.

gmurf.bsky.social @gmurf.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

Most western countries develop things like these. But mass producing and fielding something that will be obsolete in 3 months doesn’t really make sense. Maybe better to support the Ukrainian economy by using the financial support buying from local companies? Probably more drones per dollar too

gmurf.bsky.social @gmurf.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

The drone is probably way cheaper than the part that goes boom

gmurf.bsky.social @gmurf.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

Depreciation is usually one of the highest costs of owning a car, so lower depreciation is better for the consumer, or what do I miss?

000

gmurf.bsky.social @gmurf.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

Because there is correlation in the data? Some employers remove names from CVs even for human reviewers, that’s the only way to mitigate any bias

The Brits *invented* the letter of marque. Lets see what happens when Putin really pisses them off

Unless it’s Volkswagen which shuts it down after 30 minutes for no logical reason

Tax fossil gas for heating perhaps?

One way ticket to the frontlines?

Once in history the dictatorship in Iran has an agenda that aligns with the civilized world?

gmurf.bsky.social @gmurf.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

Cool, like the US defense version of Aliexpress

gmurf.bsky.social @gmurf.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

Good thing they go through Swedish and Danish territorial waters and fascists are not close to power in any of those countries, so restoration is unlikely to be allowed

010

gmurf.bsky.social @gmurf.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

Lol. The rest of the world moved from burning gas to heat pumps 20 years ago. It’s not the 1960s East Germany anymore

gmurf.bsky.social @gmurf.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

You are probably not the target audience

The Saudis turn to learn the hard way that you don’t win a war from the air

Climate isn’t a big divider, except maybe for the national party. The Green Party is mostly about being anti nuclear

This could so easily have been built into iOS APIs, you could consent to giving the app a yes/no on the claim that you are over X years old. The app gets a true/false. Now people are being taught to scan their id card with random online services

gmurf.bsky.social @gmurf.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

By ”our own” I take it they refer to the party members on Putin’s payroll?

020

gmurf.bsky.social @gmurf.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

Cool, but the ID4 is probably around 11kWh/100 km with AC off at those speeds, on normal roads. And then you can swap tires without picking the car apart. Diminishing returned after some limit, I guess

000

gmurf.bsky.social @gmurf.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

Political statements aside, could you even find a decent American car anymore? Even ignoring Musk, Tesla has stopped innovating for the last 5 years, and the rest are just hopelessly behind

000

gmurf.bsky.social @gmurf.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

Use your vote as a middle finger to the ”establishment”. That worked really well for the Americans, didn’t it?

…or need it themselves, which is why the project dies when the original maintainer no longer has a need for it personally

AI doesn’t change the fact that starting a project is fun, while maintaining it is something no one does unless they get paid for it

Better than nothing. But in the rest of the world you put the panels on the roof. A lot better price/performance per apartment

It literally says in the image his prompt was to make them look like starship troopers. And those uniforms were based on SS uniforms, so…

They should go talk to Trump. That’s like 1/10 of the price per kilometer compared to his fence

The product itself was not worse than flash, but requiring browser plugins was already a losing battle. The final nail in the coffin was the iPhone that banned all such abominations

A car is now a low margin commodity and being propped up by protectionism is not helping anyone longer term

China has more robots producing cars than any European plant

Iran also found out it’s a double edged sword. Making one side lose doesn’t mean you win

010

gmurf.bsky.social @gmurf.bsky.social · 29/08/2026

Maybe they feel like it doesn’t matter if it is Trump, Putin or Xi because it was going to be one of them anyway?

gmurf.bsky.social @gmurf.bsky.social · 29/08/2026

That is a bulletproof way to move production out of Germany. Great work of the unions!

gmurf.bsky.social @gmurf.bsky.social · 29/08/2026

Europeans just don’t want the European EVs as the lawmakers hoped. They want the tech level and prices of the Chinese ones. No tariff in the world will change this. Stepping up and meeting the competition will.

gmurf.bsky.social @gmurf.bsky.social · 22/08/2026

Like the good old ad-ware of past days

He is not completely wrong though. That’s one of the reasons central banks wants to keep a slight but controlled inflation

gmurf.bsky.social @gmurf.bsky.social · 18/08/2026

If one didn’t know better, one could think he was under the influence of an adversary who wanted to weaken the US military. But surely it can’t be that

Let the two regimes consume one another. Hopefully the peoples of both countries will rise and throw out their corrupt leaders. In the meantime high oil prices are good for the planet. Always something
