Hard agree

Eggs are probably one of the few grocery store items, where opening the packaging and checking them before purchase is a must do.

Thats a lot. My whole water installation was under 5k (plumbing without appliances + floor heating) for a 110 m2 family house, plus got mutiple offers for heat pumps (install+setup) between 4k - 8k with different mid-ranged models (air-water) after stating my budget. Of course there are high-end models for 10-20k, but I have no reason to choose smart features and buzzwords for the premium price.

Location is Slovakia, but prices in Hungary and Czech Republic are similar. All prices are from 2025-2026, with government support program for energy saving appliances.

Its becoming more common here in Central Europe, most new builds family houses have them.

They have a couple drawbacks, like the high upfront cost (in my country a mid-range pump can cost between 3-8K Euros) and they work best with well insulated buildings, but once its installed they can save a tons of money, especially when paired with solar panels or wind turbines.

2nd is the better game, if you want a little more streamlined experience.

I would not worry about the story, the voice acting is so ridiculously bad in a funny way, you will not remember anything, just the presentation.

Always makes me laugh, “what a god” :D It demonstrates the game really good

Yup, except the two words games had like 75 USD budget and 2 voice actors tops :)

Two Worlds and Two Worlds 2 The first one was advertised as the “Oblivion killer”. Which is hilarious, because of how janky bug ridden pile of code it is. Yet I love it. I could create such broken OP characters, which could one shot bosses.

The second one got a bit better production quality, but its still a broken mess. Love it.

Driving a modern car is like sitting next to a toddler playing on an electric keyboard: Welcome theme tune, traffic sign detected, over speed limit, look at the road, you look tired, you put the car in reverse… Ding-ding-ding

There is no metric how they don’t trust people to do their jobs without close surveillance. The results are not enough, your company IT checking on you is not enough, you also need a shit for brains middle manager looking over your shoulder.

yes, my new manager is the kind of person, who talks about socializing, and work family, and goes around once a day just to see who is there, nods from the distance and fucks off…

I live 200 km from the office. They hired me to work remotely and only drive to the office about twice a month for team events and to meet visitors. It worked for years. Nobody cared as long as my work was done. I got promoted twice and every one of my managers wrote very good reviews about my performance every single quarter. Still its a pointless exercise, These days are by far my least productive. I drive 2,5-3 hours each way on office days and the open plan office is worst than a Turkish bazaar. Impossible to get work done.

Until last year we got a new CEO, our department got merged with another one and all of the sudden there is an issue with my “visibility”. I asked them repeatedly in what metric is this showing, since my numbers are always way above average. They said they didn’t look at my numbers, only the one which shows how many times I swiped my card a month.

Now they want me to come to the office twice a week. So I said its not very reasonable to ask this and now I got till September to change my attitude and improve my visibility or I can start looking for a new job. So I’m pretending to play along with this, but already looking for a new job. Wish me luck as the job market right now is an AI-centric hellscape with fake listings and data stealing traps. Honestly fuck big corporations.

Found mine ages ago in a CEX in London. It was on display and cought my eye while walking past it.

I went in and asked the staff for the Steam controller and they had no idea what I was talking about. Had to go outside with them to show it. They didn’t know they had it :D

Wanna bet?

I bet I dont have this gene

I can get behind your view, I feel the same.

Just to put it in perspective how bad the situation was in Hungary from up close, most opposition parties (leftist or not) had literally zero chance replacing the Orban regime in the past 16 years.

They destroyed their opponents with a brutal propaganda machine and twisted voting system (winner compensation). I saw it first hand, I lived there a few years and the brainwashing is not just a buzzword, most boomers love Orban more than their own families. I wanted to buy a house and live there, but we left after a couple years after we saw what the state media did to people.

This was probably the last chance to get rid of them and it was an incredible feat to pull off. Magyar might not be the most ideal candidate, but if your house is on fire you cant pick and choose the firefighters.

I’m happy to overcome my shortcomings and ignorance and learn from someone more knowledgeable. Do I understand correctly you put in this graph to predict a similar thing will happen? What are your other predictions? How is this relevant to this topic and why is important?

If your country prohibits its residents to go abroad for decades, then the borders open, and anyone can work or live abroad all of the studden I think its a normal thing to see. The worst part here is that the tendency continued even after Hungary joined the EU and Orban won his first elections.

Pretty much he promised to get rid of everyone who was an active member of the corrupt system. Also he plans to destroy all propaganda media, and wants to go after the oligarchs as well.

Its a lot and we will se how much he manages to fulfill of the promises, but if they manage to achieve only fractions of it, Hungary will be already a better place.

who is “we” ?
