I spent a season in Whistler 20 years ago, and even though Whistler is "Disney Mountain" I managed to get to know some local residents through Japanese home stay students.
Weed was everywhere, granted season skiers and and snowboarders are perhaps not a random selection of the population in that regard.
This seems like an unpopular opinion but I am very happy with this.
I see this as protection for consumers buying and understanding what is actually in the food item.
In Norway most farms are still family owned with high tariffs on many imported products directly competing. The main dairy producer is a co-op of all the farms, and this protects them from competion from shit products from Kraft or other multi national companies peddeling their over processed crap that barley deserves the name edible.
My "fear" with the Tesla system is customer service after the sale. Usually a local dealer will have to consider repeat sale and after-market service and repair. Building a good customer relation is key to that.
Alternative is am anonymous underpaid call center "drone" in another country or dead email drops that never gets answered. Or worse some kind of AI chat feature on a glossy professional web page.
My issue with all electric cars is the development rate and the risk of platforms not being supported for an extended time. How long will software be serviced? Right now I do not dare own an electric car older than five years as there are so many bugs due to rushed development
Thats a turbo right? Tbf I didn't know Honda had turbo engines on their civics.
I had a 2008 (Hatchback) 1.8L VTEC and loved it. (2.2L was never imported to Norway by the importer because of high pollution tax)
Stiff suspension, sort of bucket seats and low profile tires.
You in the US? Is the 1.5L turbo the same as in EU?
At one point I will buy a used El Camino (the.most.useless.pickup), tinker with it, hopefully with my son (now 3 yo) put in a 400hp Chevrolet LS engine and never drive it unless it's sunny.
For my daily use I seldom travel over 15 km. and currently use a petrol mini One and have Mazda6 estate for family travel (the amount of bulky stash traveling with a small child necessitates is mind-numbing)
An EV estate/ would cover both uses, so I totally agree with you
For me it was the combination of burn-out from trying to get "good" at MTG while best results being top eight in GPQs, PTQs, and perhaps day two in GPs, and the focus on EDH. Tried dipping my toe in last year and just being overwhelmed by the insane amount of product. Even within the same set.
For me part of the fun was "solving" the limited formats for each set. But now draft is its own boosters?
Last time I was active was 10 years ago just as EDH was taking off. Buying the expensive early cards necessitated quite a lot of knowledge and a decent jewelers loupe. I can just imagine how hard it is today with the counterfeiters getting better.
This means that your agriculture is imported? ironically one of the few areas most nation protect with toll barriers.
I can't get my head around that industry. In my area there are several vegetable farms, most are sold long before harvesting. So one year they had a amazing cauliflower year. Yields above expected. But they could not sell the excess as there was no buyers. So I could drive past looking at happy elks gorging themselves on delicious cauliflower before they plowed it into the field. And then I went to the local grocery store and bought plastic wrapped cauliflower from Spain...
Tbh. I have no feelings at all for the issue. You on the other hand seem to have plenty.
I don't know about the UK, but I talk to my Swiss "colleagues" in several arenas (including EFTA) whereas I haven't seen anyone from the UK since Brexit.
To me from my low perch Switzerland seem much more integrated than the UK.
The again Iceland is not included in the infographic, and they are an EEA member
Even I as a non native speaker of english knew that, and that og conjugates irregularly as it ends in a - v
