The fake blond with black tank top seems kinda into it.

To be fair in NL a lot of people ignore the speed limits if the road invites you to drive faster (not enough traffic calming stuff). Not a lot and still driving safely but for example there's this huge straight road near my house that they changed to 30 recently but didn't make any changes to the infrastructure and pretty much everyone still drives 50 on it. Also on highways it's 100 everywhere during the day but you see a lot driving 110/120 where there's no speed control.

Scattered randomly around the TV obviously.

There are as many ways to do it as there are countries. In France for example it's a two round system, so in the first round you vote for whoever you want, then the two top candidates make it to round two and everyone votes again between these two.

You can read the current top comment to see how it works in the Netherlands (one of my favourites). Otherwise you can also look at the Australian system which has ranked voting which is also pretty cool.

They're gonna have such a hard time parsing this for WoW... WoW gold is a major part of the game and they've been screwing with it for a while now, I don't play it anymore but I heard about possibilities to buy tokens that you sell for gold in game but conversely you can also use the gold to buy game time or something? And then off course all the DLC stuff, it's gonna be complicated for sure.

Of course, all of these variations will still be different/inverted in french, which is already in the Union Européenne (UE) today.

Don't get me wrong I'm all for it but by this logic we can also include South America (French Guyana), central America (Caribbeans) all Pacific Islands (French Polynesia), Africa (too many to list), Indian subcontinent (la reunion) and Oceania (nouvelle Caledonie).

I look forward to Hawaii joining the EU :D

Any reasons why these two neighborhoods go against the grain? Are they the posh suburbs?

Maybe canada can be the first member of a post-European EU. I guess we'll need a new name.

If Macron got 40% approval rating there would be a river of champagne flowing down the Champs Elysées.

Boy.

They call it banter rather than trolling, but yes.

It's like the one Mexican dish we know in Europe. You can order nachos or tacos at some places but they're so far removed from the real deal it's a crime to call it Mexican.

Yeah I have to heavily curate my YouTube but if you do it's still full of really great stuff. I also have to keep myself on top of it, it's easy to let yourself slip into trash content now and then.

The comments are pretty universally bad though, even on the good content.

Yeah the Dutch way of saying time is also messed up, I still have to think about it for a moment every time.

Quatre-vingt dix huit or quatre-vingt dix neuf are definitely more of a mouthful and illustrate the point better.

I can share my experience if you'd like, I'm also EU based, I'm assuming like you if you're looking at Peugeot (they don't sell in the US).

I come from a long lineage of buying shitty old second hand cars and driving them until they die or aren't worth fixing to pass the yearly check. Eventually when I had a decent job and my wife moved here and couldn't drive manual cars, we got a Lexus hybrid, 4 years old car we still have today. I love Toyota/Lexus but when I started my business I wanted more space to move my equipment.

Started with a 20 years old Renault Kangoo, that was actually fine but none of the electric stuff worked (windows, dashboard, etc...).

I knew I was gonna replace it at least for safety reasons, and already wanted to go electric but my wife wasn't convinced, so I got one more gas car (ford focus wagon) and the engine was so shit it couldn't handle a slight hill climb with us in the car....

I decided I was done with gas cars and we actually debated getting a brand new car. During this search, it was clear Tesla was a slightly better deal on paper than the competition when buying new. Basically for the price of base models in other brands you get all the options with Tesla model Y...

But I really didn't want to get Tesla for all the moral reasons, + there's a lot of hidden costs with them especially insurance, additional safety equipment required by said insurance and the big costs for repairs in case of even minor fender benders...

Realised going brand new was just not for us, we're just not that wealthy and it would've ended up costing us more than the house monthly, not to mention going into debt for it.

So I took a long hard look at my requirements and realized 95% of the time I don't need the extra space, so I found a used Peugeot 208 electric which I was able to swap my ford for and basically didn't pay anything additional when all said and done.

I LOVE it, it's well built, I got the GT with all options, and the size is actually perfect for navigating European roads, I can park anywhere, go anywhere, no more worrying about no emission zones, etc etc.

The battery range is not the best on the market by a large margin but it's honestly totally usable, for daily use you always leave the house with a full battery and make it home easily, and fast charge is very fast for highway trips but you do have to stop more often. The space inside is way more than you'd expect, I just have to use my old trusted Tetris skills once I'm a while, and when it's not enough for the big projects with more requirements, I rent a van for the day...

Now don't get me wrong stellantis is pretty shit too but at least less visibly than Tesla, and their app/connected services are useless, but I still love my little 208. It'll certainly become the 2nd car some day though once we replace the Lexus for another full electric with more range/space.

I would worry about the 2008 though since it's the same battery in a heavier vehicle and range is already something I have to think about in the 208.

I worry a lot less about getting a "cheaper" electric brand too, because the mechanics of it are so much simpler with fewer points of failure, whereas I basically only trust Toyota's engines anymore on the gas front.

Probably be design to force you to eat them quickly or throw them away. Either way you're buying more sooner. Here in Europe I don't remember seeing those trays often and mostly the tubes ones, these are better at keeping them fresh.

Got me in the first half.
