I’ve driven a diesel Renault for 12 years (loke 300k km) and didn’t need to replace any of those. The only big unplanned cost I had was a faulty EGR valve, which happened at 600km and wasn’t warranty for some reason.

That said regular oil change for clutch and brakes were mildly expensive, but I guess even for EV you’d want the brake hydraulics replaced the same way.

Edit : just spotted filters. Yeah I replaced every filter every service, but with how grimy they look, even in EV I’d argue for replacing them.

Transmetropolitan, though I have a hard time deciding whether is it the style or the characters. Probably both.

Knights of Sidonia was drawn by an architect. Definitely shows - thel background / landscape shots are quite ridiculously good and give you the scope a lot of comics tend to miss.

Ah yes, I forgot we’re doing the echo chamber thing here as well.

Eh, it’s not to say it’s a worthy endeavour for them. But Putin doesn’t care about the dead, and there are very few signs that even the russian society at large does.

Russia may well go through another collapse after this, but that doesn’t mean they won’t cling on long enough to cripple Ukraine and/or annex parts of it. That is my concern.

Remember: Karelia still belongs to Russia, and the winter war wasn’t any less bloody for them.

Advances on land are definitely not a be-all/end-all kind of thing, but rather a metric in terms of current force ratio. If Ukraine had enough troops and supply of weapons, they wouldn’t have to give up ground. The current supply they receive is insufficient so they have to yield ground though. It’s a symptom.

Unless russia starts running out of either manpower or war supplies before Ukraine does, they are not in danger of losing. And as unpopular this opinion might be, with the current level (=limited in number and scope of use) of support Ukraine is getting, it’s far from decided that russian war effort collapses first.

Russia is still very much advancing in Kursk and Ukraine right now, it doesn’t matter if their economy is going to break five years from now.

GET OUT OF HERE, STALKER!

Well yeah, that is true. Security and convenience are usually at odds… MFA has place, unless you don’t mind some guy from russia access your online bank account ; but I definitely wouldn’t use it on all my accounts.

That’s between platforms though. I like my stuff self-managed. Unless it provenly works with full offline solutions I’ll remain sceptical.

If the passkeys aren’t managed by your devices fully offline then you’re just deeper into being hostage to a corporation.

Masking tape is a conspiracy

Soon smartglasses will look like regular glasses though. Miniaturisation isn’t about to stop.

Turn based RPGs ain’t doing that bad. I mean, BG3 was the hype in the last year or so…

Battlefield does most of this, except medics csn defend themselves because people already rarely play support. As seen by the endless rage and whining, the ad-hoc emergent teamplay doesn’t work as often as it does.

• Naked Gun
• Airplane!
• Men in Tights
• Down Periscope
• La Soupe aux choux (Cabbage Soup from Louis de Funes)
• Oscar

Yeah, the last one is oddly popular in my country. No clue why. Must be something in the water.

The only true way to enjoy FoNV is with a stealth suit, all the way. Totally not because I’m addicted to MedX I swear.

Speedrunning populism, let’s see how that goes. Cartels electing judges is my bet.

Looks can kill!

Somehow I find the Big Crunch more comforting than Big Rip…
