@JeremiahRabitor @avidseries Prior to buying one I thought the same. Reality is you plug it into a standard 20 Amp outlet and it charges enough overnight for daily driving.

@scaling_shields Enterprise wanted £8,000 for a scratched roof (we didn’t). Rentalcover said “pay them and claim from us”. Didn’t want to risk that. Asked Enterprise to write the details so our lawyers can handle it, they replied “Ah it’s fine we’ll waive it”. We pay for CDW now, less stress

my mate works at a car rental company and showed me the internal pricing screen after a few pints context: this is the same car on the same day in the same location showed 6 different prices depending on which website you book through the price you see first is ALWAYS the highest one heres how the scam works: you go to their website and book directly thats the most expensive way to rent a car because you came to THEM you already decided you want the car you already picked the dates you already chose the location they know youre not shopping around so they charge full price £67/day for a basic hatchback meanwhile the same car on the same day: on a comparison site: £44/day on a corporate portal: £38/day on an opaque site like hotwire: £28/day £28 vs £67 140% markup for not knowing which button to press he showed me why each price exists: direct website = "this person didnt shop around. charge full price" comparison site = "theyre comparing us to 5 others. show the mid price" opaque site = "they cant see our name until they pay. give them the lowest price because wed rather fill the car for £28 than let it sit empty at £67" then he showed me the charges they add AFTER you book collision damage waiver: £18/day "covers your £2,000 excess in case of damage" your credit card already covers this for free. most people dont know that. 70% of customers buy it at the counter because theyre scared thats £126 on a 7 day rental for something you already have airport premium fee: £12/day "premium location surcharge" a fee for parking the car where you need it its pure profit. costs them nothing extra young driver surcharge: £25/day i asked what the actual insurance cost is for under 25s "about £2 a day. we charge £25 because they dont know any better and theyre usually in a rush" £175 extra on a week rental for £14 of actual cost fuel policy: "we fill it you return it full" sounds fair until you read the fine print if you return it with anything less than full they charge £2.30 per litre petrol is £1.40 64% markup on fuel he said the best one is the counter upsell "you sure you dont want the premium cover? what if something happens on the motorway?" 60% of people say yes at the counter because theyre tired from travelling they just want the keys same decision fatigue the car dealer uses in the finance office tired people sign things the car rental price destruction method: 1. never book from their website directly. use kayak or google flights car rental tab to see the real market rate 2. check hotwire or priceline opaque deals. same car 40-60% less because they hide the company name 3. decline everything at the counter. cdw, premium cover, fuel packages, gps, child seats you didnt ask for. all of it 4. check your credit card benefits. most visa and mastercards include rental car insurance that makes their cdw completely redundant 5. refuel yourself. never prepay fuel. drive to the nearest station before returning. saves 60%+ on fuel charges 6. book the smallest car available. rental companies oversell small cars. show up and theyll upgrade you for free because they ran out of the one you booked he knew i was going to post this "go ahead. wont change anything. people will still panic at the counter and buy everything" the same car on the same day costs £28 or £67 depending on how much homework you did before you showed up stop paying the panic price start paying the informed one

@electricfelix Just left Barcelona and it’s still majority ICE by a wide margin. In a 30 minute drive I’d see about two BYDs, maybe and one or two more Teslas. I do see Model 3 taxis though

@someguy244224 @NuryVittachi Or even those who have been to Asia for a few weeks, or even a long time in their expat bubbles then think they know best. That western values are always right. They will not accept they are often wrong, especially on foreign affair matter.

Dodgers players had two gifts waiting for them at their lockers when they arrived at the ballpark today: * a bottle of Traveller whiskey from Dave Roberts * a $4,000 Seiko watch from Shohei Ohtani, complete with a note: “Let’s three-peat.”

@ClubShayShay It runs both ways. One of the Chinese YouTube channels interviewed international students in Beijing(?) and a French girl said Chinese food in general “really really sucks”, nothing good at all, no redeeming features Mind blowing to a Chinese person like me but it is what it is.

"F*ck the Eiffel Tower... French food sucks. I think people really need to go to Asia. Go to Hong Kong! Everyone speaks English there. It's a beautiful city, some of the best food you'll ever have in the world.. Street food to like the best Michelin stars." - Jimmy O. Yang

@Pretentious_A_ @frontierindica It is nutrition (wealth), unless you’re claiming all these countries are also giving their children HGH. There is also a clear correlation between per capita income and height

@frontierindica Lmao, retard. While nutrition can have some contribution to height the chinese growth in height is mainly due to artificial HGH shots given to their children. Chinese parents give their kids these shots to attain the desired height.

Chinese kids eat pork, chicken, fish and eggs at school every single day. India can't even keep one boiled egg a week on the mid-day meal menu because vegetarian lobbies keep getting states to ban it. Not to mention - India spends just Rs 6.78 per child per day on mid-day meals (and even most of that is stolen away) while China spends 5 Yuan (approximately 68 rupees) per child per day. Then we wonder why our 19-year-olds are 9 cm shorter. You can't build height on dal-roti and alu-poori.

When Mohamed Salah leaves Liverpool FC, it won’t just be about goals and assists In Egypt and across the Arab world, cafés literally turn off the TV when Salah doesn’t play or being subbed off and some fans are already saying “no Salah, no Liverpool.” The "Player Fans" phenomenon is real when it’s about Mo Salah especially in Egypt, and now prominent figures like Ahmed Shobier publicly tweet "Goodbye to supporting Liverpool” Is this the end of Liverpool’s dominance in the Middle East & Africa?

Salah’s undisputedly on the right wing in an all-time Premier League XI - not really sure how anyone can argue otherwise. Ronaldo was great, but wasn’t at Man Utd long enough at his peak before Real Madrid. Beckham excellent, but far from Mo as a force. Nobody else stands out.
