I'm happy since years with Renault - first we got a kinda old Megane, that really was awesome and my wife really had her heart in it
So, when it was time to sell, because repairs would have cost us more than it's value, we were lucky that they brought out a Megane E-Tech (EV) and it just really is great
It could have some higher charging speeds, but it drives like a dream and the power of the e motor is nothing to compare with (well, besides other EVs)
It's a rather small car, but it's perfect for the city and we can still fit our snowboard/skis for such trips.
And shortly after we got it, we were driving on a highway with a 100km/h in a tunnel. Besides us was a tuned up Porsche and naturally we had a little race after the speed limit was lifted.
The Porsche driver couldn't keep up with the acceleration and you could really see his face getting red and more red, because his expensive tuned Porsche couldn't keep up with our efficient city cruiser
It's also great to get by cyclist in the city, because you instantly have the torque you need, and don't need to shift back and hope to hit the right spot of the engine.
There is pretty much no latency and...we just fucking fell in love with it
It's a really great car and I don't know, why Renaults seem to be not available in the USA
Since some weeks I'm also getting an error in NewPipe/PipePipe, that my IP is temporarily blocked at YouTube - although I usually can just immediately resume and only get the error in the middle of the video like once or twice
Anyone else - and especially maybe with a solution?
The Core Time 2 looks really nice
Although I'm wondering, why only the cheaper one has a Barometer.
That's something I'd actually like to have - as well :-\
To be fair, in such child songs there are often words used, that aren't really common in daily live - besides sometimes when talking with children, but mostly they are there for the rhyme
'Mampfer' is just roughly translated as Eater, which would be more 'Esser'
'mampfen' is better translated as munch(-ing)
So, Trashmuncher probably should have been the better translation
Also the rhyme with 'zu Hauf' comes from 'Haufen', which is a pile
There was a story from the child book author Thomas Brezina (Austrian), who wrote the series "Knickerbocker Bande", which is about 4 childs/teens, who do some detective work and solve stuff.
I absolutely loved that series as a child and I've read like...I don't know dozens of them
(After that he created 'Tom Turbo' which was more meant for a younger audience)
Anyway, I had a audiobook cassette, which was about a killed scientist, that created "Müllmampfer" (stuff the eats trash) and it would just eat it and it's gone with that
I'm still having that song in my ear after more than 30 years
"Müllmampfer, Müllmampfer,
die Welt, die braucht Müllmampfer.
Sie fressen jeden Abfall auf und Abfall gibt es hier zu Hauf!"
Roughly translated:
"Trash-Eater, Trash-Eater,
The world, it needs Trash-Eaters.
They eat all the trash and there is a abundance of trash'
So, even 30 years ago, we all were aware of this problem
But as always, capitalism wins, because we need to create new stuff, else the economy can't grow - and as we all know, infinite growth in a finite system isn't possible
I'm also remembering stories from my school time (in a technical high school), where they told us, that Phillips just trashed completely newly produced DVD players, because selling them at lower prices, would have crashed the market and would have brought in a net negative for their future products.
Long story, short:
This system is just not sustainable in any way...
