Man, what an authoritarian law to pass. I expected better of the EU.

I don't have my book on me but I remember it going more along the lines of there being two independent rival towns. After a battle her husband is killed and the rivals want to marry her. Because of her anger and grief Olga devises a plan to outsmart them through a series of deceptions, and eventually razes the rivals town to the ground.

There is no bringing those responsible to court when it comes to China. If you try to go after companies in China they either disappear and make a new company or the government comes in and protects them.

Is this a meme or just real life?

Thoughts on EV motorcycles? (lemmy.cafe)
 

Thinking about getting one, what did y'all think? Looking at the Zeros.

Simple EV cars (lemmy.cafe)
 

Does anyone think that there'll ever be a simple EV car produced for market without all the extra junk found in most electric cars? Why or why not?

I don't see the need for the infotainment dash, personal data tracking, self-driving, lack of physical buttons, and lack or reparability.

Wouldn't it be nice to have an EV that is probably cheaper without all that forced extra stuff? Can't we just have a simple EV that has an electric engine that is reliable, cheaper, and doesn't have a need for constant software updates? Maybe you can work on it in your garage for the most part for simple maintenance.

I'd really like to have an EV one day but seems like they are all super expensive, have no sense of ownership like typical cars, are constantly tracking you, and are trying to shove extra features down your throat.
