When Germany first came up with the idea of subsidising electric cars, we were able to snatch an electric golf for about 20k€. We’re commuting a lot, making roughly 25k km per year on each car.

When we were using our regular electricity provider, we reduced our monthly gas bill from more than 300 € to less than 100 € for the golf. Since we switched to a contract that is bound to stock market prices, we lowered it to less than 40. Saving about 270 € per month now.

Factoring in about 500 € of taxes saved each year and between 1000 and 2000 Euros worth of repairs for our old combustion engine cars per year, the car already paid for itself and saves us money.

I’ve seen those. Shipping to Europe is often an issue (or at least expensive) and tbh, having prepainted, reassembled ships was a major factor to get into that game in particular. Also, those usually come without the additional stuff, so you need to buy a base and shield dials as well as some cards that might be missing from your collection otherwise (and which usually synergise well with the ships they came with). In the end you end up paying more for a ripoff than for the real thing when they were still sold. :(

I keep looking for Venator-shaped rocks, but no luck so far.

Man, I feel you. Those Venators are rare. But no way I’m paying 200 bucks for a plastic spaceship.

It’s times like these when I wish I could just block an instance that isn’t defederated from mine.

I recently came across a song I hadn’t heard since my late teenage years. Just randomly popped up in my recommendations. I could still sing along every word. I felt so awesome. Then I checked out the song (because I wasn’t even sure who made it) and saw the tag: “dad rock”.

Yeah, age is showing.

Because the US never started any wars whatsoever?

This interrupts my reading flow every single time. I might bother to continue once or twice, but you lost me after the first few lines here.

Nvidia making bank though.

If life ain’t just a joke

… he said: "Son, when you grow up …

And if i could i would select the physically attractive ones so that all people can have a girlfriend.

If you really think physical attractiveness is the major factor in finding a partner you should first grow up. Then, after that, you can discuss topics like the one you tried here. And hopefully, by then you’ll have a better understanding of what makes a life worth living and why it’s a bad idea to have eugenics.

You sure this is the correct template?

8 players is tough… We play quite some couch cooperative games, so here’s some recommendations. None of them except a single party game for 8 at once though, I’m afraid.

• overcooked was already recommended. I second that. It’s great. But man, it’s intense, too… You can only play this with people who can laugh at themselves. I’ve heard purple say that this game might jeopardise friendships and I get it.
• lovers in a dangerous spacetime is a game I’m madly in love with. It’s a coop roguelike which mixes space and lasers (which worked well for some of our kids) with pink rainbow unicorn aesthetics (which worked well for the other kids) and is just all around great fun to play.
• boomerang fu was already recommended. I like the design and the the music has some real bangers, but it’s a competitive game which might lead to some conflict, depending on your group dynamics.
• unrailed cost us quite some hours as well. We really liked it, but imho it gets quite tough quite fast - we rarely got to the third of iirc ten biomes. Maybe it’s because we always play it with our kids. Maybe we just suck at it. Despite this issue, we sunk quite some hours into it because it just still works well.
• Trine is three players coop only… It’s a platformer. I didn’t like the design so much, but my kids love it, so I guess that’s still a good verdict.
• pixel cup soccer is our go-to soccer game. It’s obviously a simple arcade game, but it’s fun.
• Sonic All Stars Racing Transformed is our Not-Mario-Kart Kartracer and it works well. Not a fan of the tanks in there for a kid’s game though.
• the Jack’s party box games or whatever they’re called are a kind of mixed bag, but drawful is great fun. It’s also the only game on this list for 8 players. You draw stuff on a phone or a tablet and there’s a well-working mechanic to make people guess what was drawn.
• while I haven’t played it yet (waiting for a deal), Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge is supposedly a great take on classic streets of rage style beat em ups.
• Rayman: Origins is a beautifully made and well designed platformer that can be played cooperatively with up to four people. True classic imho.
• for a quick party session, our kids love ultimate chicken horse where you build a level and then race through it. Tbh, for me it didn’t really provide too much replayability, but hey, if the kids like it, who am I to judge?

So slower by 0.7 sec? Unless only you are allowed to cherry pick from the data.

The Subaru is specifically the rare higher performance engine, so comparing them to the higher performance versions of comparable EVs would be the only fair thing to do.

the driving dynamics of EVs and ICEs is basically the same when actually in use.

Absolutely not, but hey, whatever you want to believe that makes you happy.

It’s worth it; it feels like driving an EV with how quickly it picks up speed

Doubt.

Just checked it and if I got the right model, 0-100 is between 7.2 and 8 seconds, depending on the model year. Mid range EV SUVs such as the Enyaq are between 5.5 and 8.7 seconds, so way below the outback if you don’t pick the low end version. Performance-centric EVs are below 4 seconds. And they all have a more or less constant torque which just isn’t possible for ICEs.

If you like your car that’s fine. But combustion engines aren’t even close to how EVs drive.

Dude, read the spoiler in the post you replied to.

I’m sure it’ll be bearable once she dipped it in the coffee.

She’s just still so mad that her drinks are all shaken up.
