No that's not how EU works, you are arguing from a traditional cynical viewpoint, but EU actually has values about the international rule of law.

Tesla and the American EV industry was already very heavily subsidized. At least up until near the end of 2025.
To claim Tesla wasn't heavily subsidized already when they made model S is very ignorant.

Thanks I never heard of that before. But on the other hand VR has near zero interest for me.
I have heard Steam frame before, but I thought it was some sort of joke on the frames you can have standing around to show still images. Which I find pretty stupid too.

IDK what you mean by Steam "frame"?
But admittedly I use Steam for 90% of my games.

Difference is that it's mostly just for show now, as Europe is preparing to stand on their own feet.
The marriage is ruined, the divorce is just not official yet.

What an absolute trash misleading headline.

The Russian army captured more than 5,600 square kilometres (2,160 square miles), or 0.94 per cent, of Ukrainian territory in 2025,

So at this pace it will take a 100 years to capture Ukraine!?
The war of attrition id a Ukrainian strategy that actually works, Russia is very slowly taking territory, but at insane cost. This will exhaust Russia, and Russia is now on the brink of collapse. Russia is fucking using cavalry and donkeys now!
Their meat attacks are less and less effective, because they have no heavy material left to back it up. Their current pace of advancement is literally comparable to a snail, and the Russian economy has been collapsing throughout 2025, and 2026 will only get worse.
The deficit in the Russian federal budget is enormous, they thought they could sell oil at $70, but the price for Russian oil is only half that now, and at the same time sales have declined 30%. Meaning their greatest source of revenue is only 35% of what they based their budgets on. And it's still declining.
Russia is now actively preventing people from withdrawing money from the bank, and bankruptcies and unemployment is increasing, and tax revenues are way way lower than before the war. And at the same time the Russian federation exceeded their military budget by 30%.

Russia is clearly losing this war, maybe not so visible on the battlefield yet as Russia continues their meat waves, but the back-end that is needed to support the war is collapsing, it already started collapsing in 2025 as we were many that predicted, but the collapse is accelerating, and even if Russia decides to end the war now, there's a real danger for Russia that the Russian federation will collapse both politically and economically.

GOG is often a good option too.

Yes it was evidently true for Iraq too.

Always go with the lesser evil. Then try to make change to make things better.
Change is easier within the democratic party than within the Republican. You have to be an idiot to not see that.

Not sure why he thinks that EU are less *unt’ish than US ?!

Whatever you mean by *unt’ish, you must be a very special kind of uninformed to not be aware that consumer privacy protection is without comparison better in EU.

Everybody with a bit of sense predicted this would happen.

Some will trickle down alright, 10% trickle up and 1% trickle down. Be happy with your 1%.

 

With little innovation and lacking new models, Tesla has decided to cut prices again, this time the price of the model 3 is cut by 10%.

This may be to regain some of the lost marketshare. But it may also be because they simply have too much stock.
Cutting production is expensive, and obviously producing just to stockpile unsold products is expensive too.

I have no doubt that this price cut is an act of desperation, not a result of being competitive. Tesla is losing money no matter if they cut production or they cut the prices or they stock up on unsold product.

Whichever is the case, I had a good laugh that the Swasticars are so hard to sell Tesla has to cut prices yet again, and that's despite inflation.

Allegedly the profitability on a Tesla car was recently estimated at just 2%, so cutting the price by 10% is going to hurt for them.

Here's a link to a story about it by a major news outlet in Denmark:

Anton Gerashchenko on Bluesky story about a strike at a nuclear plant with documentation:

The post contains video from the situation.

As I've been posting many times before, many workers in Russia are behind on payments. People working in factories being 3 months behind is not uncommon.
Anna from Ukraine explains the situation here. She is a good source IMO, because her English is excellent, and being Ukrainian she understands Russian, and makes frequent news updates about the Ukrainian war from various perspectives.

Inside Russia on youtube was first to report on the Russian population beginning to have had enough to a degree they are actually beginning to complain:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EoR5_bJywWQ

I've claimed before I don't think Putin will last through the winter, and I see this as the first signs that the Russian people is about to have had enough.
The story reported by Anna and Gerashchenko tells that the workers are at least 2 months behind on wages, they were promised transportation to work, something that is important because of the lack of fuel, and public transport becoming unreliable. But they do not get the promised transportation. They were also promised 1 hot meal per day, but do not receive that either.
Finally in their homes, they are out of water and heat.

This is the economic and infrastructure collapse many have predicted was inevitable, that is now beginning to really show. And it isn't even really winter yet!

PS: The moderators removed my previous post with false accusations, so here it is posted again according to their demands.

FDM warns of errors in several models from Tesla, and FDM has now been successful by the Danish Road Safety Authority. FDM has previously described that there are several cases of significant veil in the rear suspension and in the steering column of the popular Model 3.

The Danish Road Safety Authority has stated that the motorists' interest organization, FDM, rightly did not approve two Tesla Model 3 by sight after the car owners had independently complained about the demand for omsyn.

FDM said in a statement.

In both cases, the sight results were due to "too much veil in bushings in rear-wheel suspension".

However, Tesla found no faults and thought the electric cars should have been approved, which led to complaints and the Traffic Agency's review. Many Teslas have "veil in the bushing"

The agency concludes that the cars had a significant veil and that the vision had been carried out correctly in both cases.

Earlier in the year, the FDM warned that there are many Teslas that have veils in bushings in the rear-wheel suspension and in the steering column. See also FDM comes with call for Tesla owners

Veils in rear suspensions mean that there is a looseness or abnormal movement in the parts that connect the car's rear wheel to the car itself.

This applies to both the Model 3 and Model Y. According to FDM, around 37,000 Model 3 and more than 40,000 Model Y have been registered in Denmark. The error is seen on newer cars

Usually you first see the problem on older cars, which have driven many kilometers, but FDM has seen several models with the error early in the life expectancy of the cars.

It creates doubts about the safety of cars, writes FDM, who has contacted Tesla to get the company to solve the problems. See also Tesla gets fined for flawed marketing

"We expect Tesla to help drivers, as it is not fair that the consumer has an additional cost of repair and possibly overhaul, because the car has a fault it shouldn't have," said Lone Otto, area manager in FDM's technical advice.

At the beginning of the year, FDM said that almost one in four Model 3 from the year 2020, which last year was for inspection, failed - among other things because of veils.

For other electric cars, the dump percentage was nine.

I'm stressing the European parts, because my post from yesterday about Russian losses in Ukraine war was removed as "off topic".
Despite this sub is about:
News and information from Europe 🇪🇺

 

Merz pointed out that the restrictions have been lifted not only on German weapons.

"There are no longer any restrictions on the range of weapons delivered to Ukraine, neither by the UK, France, nor us. There are no restrictions by the US either,"

 

Putin is getting more and more desperate. As he is running out of options, he is just increasing the meat waves!
