To play the devil's advocate, Poland and the Baltic states received a lot of third country refugees (from Syria, Iraq, Egypt, Sudan, etc.) from Russia and Belarus before the war in Ukraine.

It was a hybrid warfare campaign where Russians would advertise how easy it is to cross the border and how good life is on the other side. They would also help them get to the border.

Those refugees quickly overran Baltic refugee centers and caused political instability.

I am anxious about money, so instead of being anxious about lack of money, I would be anxious about having what I see as too much money.

To be honest, “If it’s not giving me what I wanted out of this transaction, then it’s bad.” is a heuristic that works well for most things we buy. If I buy candy and it doesn't taste good, it's bad. If I buy a car and it breaks down, it's bad.

I think the real problem is that some people see games as a product and others see it as an art piece. Some games fail at being either, some succeed at both.

Couldn't figure out why the American "Libertarian" party were being such asskissers to capitalist power.

Because money, of course.

Now Imagine how they would shit themselves if they saw a poster with an F-35 that's bombing the Kremlin.

"Three men, a greek, a roman and a celt each get an island.

The greek writes a book about flora and fauna of his island.

The roman, realising that the island does not need to be conquered, builds a house, a road to the shore and a statue to himself.

The celt starts a fight."

I find the term "Breakaway Republic" rather problematic. Most of the countries that used to be in the Warsaw Pact or USSR were independent before World War II. They did not just break away, they re-established their independence.

Yeah, Tesla cars and most EVs don't have a traditional transmission.

Maybe Belgian Shepherd, they have darker fur.

Maybe he had some dirt on Boeing.

Loads of renovated parks and buildings, parts that used to be sketchy have mostly improved, the town center has become richer, while a lot of people who grew up here have moved to the suburbs.

Well, my wife still needs to get to work whilst it is getting fixed and the repairs are going to take months. If we choose to repair the car we will not be able to buy a new one so it's a bit of a Catch-22.

Even if the car was fine, we would be still selling it. She had trouble with parking a car as big as a CX-5, and that car burns a bit too much diesel for her 70 km a day commute.

We are most likely to buy a car that's at least 10 years old, we can't afford any better. Probably we will be buying Toyota Auris for about 6K.

Update: we bought a 2006 Toyota RAV4 with a petrol engine and an LPG system for 5K.

On the other hand, Manjaro asked me to preserve contents of my /home partition automatically, and that used to be the most difficult part of my Ubuntu reinstallations.

Most of Eastern European politics can be boiled down to "Pro-western elitists vs. pro-russian populists"

Totally tubular!

Meanwhile, Vilnius-Lublin portal is working with no incidents.

The first quote I got for the car was 1200 euros.

The engine repair guy said the repair would cost at least 3000, but the parts are hard to come by and it might take months just to get them. Getting them from the manufacturer would quickly inflate the price. And even if we replace all those parts, it would still prolong car's life for 3-5 years.

Yes, but it would be as expensive as the car. It is also technically possible to replace a bunch of parts in order to fix it, but they are hard to get and expensive to get from the manufacturer.

Yes, it is something very similar to that.

Might be, might be. Or WellThatSucks if we have one.
