Life / How are electric cars doing in Poland? [413]

We have established that in the next 10 to 20 years electric cars will replace gasoline engine cars.
Now it's just a beginning and Poland should be jumping in.
Three key factors give Tesla a edge for the competition. (1) "Million Mile" Battery.
I am looking forward to Tesla's "Battery Day" on Sept. 22.
At that event, analysts are expecting Tesla to announce some breakthrough technology, including a new battery with the ability to last as long as 1 million miles.

(2) Autopilot, 'Almost Self Driving'......... Tesla is at the leading position there.
(3) Production and demand trajectory in China for Tesla remains robust and stronger than expected for its third quarter with clear momentum heading into years end.

Poland should open the doors for a huge Tesla plant to be built there.

I really don't want to talk about the market right now.
The market took a huge hit today.....worse since the virus shutdown.
I took a 5% hit on my portpholio which really hurt.

Travel / Hiking and Camping Trails in Poland [51]

WoW those are great picture!
Did you take them ?
The higher altitude trails on the Tatra's may be a bit much for an old guy like me however.

Funny, never heard of it in relation to bears,

You said that the main interest of a bear is food and not humans.
A bears main instinct is their sense of smell as they are basically blind but can smell food many kilometers away.
Keeping it separate from you when you sleep in a bears backyard is only common sense.

it would be impossible to cover that 500 km trail.

To be young again.............

Yes, bears do,

Same here in the U.S. but at least here we are allowed to pack some heat with us for self defense.
In Alaska you would be a self sacrifice in the back country without a gun.
You have to have some common sense and not store your food in your tent rather hoist your back pack up on a rope twenty feet into a tree a safe distance from your camp site.

I have already picked out a trail in Poland that I want to hike.

just throwing your own words back at you as usual.

Monthly as usual. nlol
Tell us why you feel such a immature personal need to do this especially when it does not concern you in the least bit being you are British ?

Hopefully pawian untwisted your creativity for you to understand and you won't toxify my thread again.

It must bother you even worse to have to post Off-Topic with your Baiting Bad Breath to provoke.

Well, there is easy cure...

My thoughts exactly as Costa Rica has open arms for tourism right now to hike and explore their National Forests and jungles.
Poland will have to be put off until a later date when Europe opens back up.
Now please you two, quit trashing my thread.

I started this thread to learn about rural Poland so it is understandable how my statements may seem ridiculous to a Brit as yourself, Pam, who has visited Poland.

Your effort to shame me because I want to learn about rural Poland certainly shows your inferiority complex towards Americans that want to learn as much as they can about their family ancestry in Poland.

Do you have any family ancestry in Poland ?

do you seriously think that all hikers on the Appalachian Trail for example, are humble Americans

How creative of you in your efforts to belittle me as never did I mention 'hikers', I was referring to the small farms and village people.

And YES, here in America the people who live away from the cities and in rural areas are much more humble down to earth people in general.

See, you just learned something and I found no need to shame your ignorance in the process.

Not that you will be hiking it as I've lost count of how many times you've said you are coming to Poland.

I am impressed to think you you have kept count of my private life that needs no explaining to YOU.
You seem infatuated with me as I must remind you of one of your brothers that use to knock you around when you needed it.

Clearly your knowledge of Polish people is about as good as your knowledge of maths.

My math is excellent for a guy my age, probably much better then yours.
Yes Pam, your knowledge of Poland is better then mine since you have visited Poland and I haven't.
I could belittle you just as bad if we were discussing a country that I have visited that you have not, say like Jamaica.
Wanna give it a try ?
Thank you for your condescending input in your failed efforts of my monthly brow beating by you.
No wonder you never meant any humble people while hiking in Poland with that deep frown line in your forehead as attitude is everything.
Try smiling next time while losing your British superiority complex and just watch what a difference it makes in meeting humble people......such as myself.

Attitude is everything Pam, ATTIDUDE ! ;-)

I don't understand why moderators have merged your thread with this one here.

Because every other LBGTQRSTUV thread has been closed.
Men having sex with another man or a woman having sex with another woman is considered perverted.
That already has been established here a 1000 times now.
Starting a new thread will not change that fact.
Is the country of Poland so boring that you need to focus on something so dull as Homo's ?

Life / How are electric cars doing in Poland? [413]

Hopefully ? lol
Google "Space X" to educate yourself on such a jealous remark.
Space Exploration Technologies Corp., trading as SpaceX, is an American aerospace manufacturer and space transportation services company headquartered in Hawthorne, California. It was founded in 2002 by Elon Musk with the goal of reducing space transportation costs to enable the colonization of Mars. SpaceX has developed several launch vehicles, the Starlink satellite constellation, the Dragon cargo spacecraft, and flown humans to the International Space Station on the Crew Dragon Demo-2.

One would have to come to the conclusion that your "hopefully" more then matches his net worth.
Now can we get back on topic about Elon Musk wanting to put a Tesla plant in Wroclaw that would create many jobs for that area not to mention the tax base it would create for Poland.

Poland should take note on the Tesla plant that Musk put in Berlin and invite him to Poland with open arms.

Life / How are electric cars doing in Poland? [413]

Looks like Tesla are finished. The stock is at $260 and in freefall,

Really, Tesla closed today, (three years later) at $2232.

All those people shorting Tesla are laughing right now, and the stock is headed for the basement.

Quite the contrary.

Tesla isn't even in the top five sellers here

And it only took two years for Tesla to take over the top spot.
The Model S, Model X and since 2019 the Model 3 have taken the all electric brand to new heights, selling over 100,000 cars in Europe, with the Model 3 as the best selling EV in the continent, ahead of the much cheaper Renault Zoe and Nissan Leaf.

Never panic.

Tesla today is worth between $ 45 to $ 50 Billion and Musk is still at the helm.

The people who still hold the stocks tend to be people who didn't react fast enough. Investors in Europe and Asia are shorting those stocks

People in Europe ?
You know any of them by their first name ?

I for one would have to disagree with that as the Tesla is selling itself today.
Poland missed an huge opportunity when Musk wanted to put a Tesla plant in Wroclaw.

Tesla is now available in Poland.
en.smartme.pl/Tesla-in-Poland/
And look at those comfortable lavish leather seats and don't forget the all wheel drive for winter driving in the snow.
0 to 100 kph in 5.6 seconds.

He's finished alright.
Actually Elon Musk's personal net worth is over 100 Billion today.

America workers are the top producers in the world so they are use to working 60 plus hours a week.

Rome was not built in a day but then again Musk wasn't ahead of that job.
Maybe he will choose Poland to base his Space X program to put private citizens into space travel.
Coming soon.............

Everyone is someone Lenka, even the rest.
Even as condescending and snotty as the females are on this forum, except for Atch, I sit back and wonder what is really going on in your lives that make you so bitter.

Obviously you all have been hurt by someone in your lives very badly and still have open wounds.
My simplistic view of the people that live in the country is only stupid to you.
I have travelled many places and have always found that country folks are way less hardened then the city folks.
They are not as worldly as city folk.
That's why when I come to Poland I want to get off the beaten path and meet people that are down to earth and count their blessings.

And if you see that as stupid then shame on you.

News / What should Poland do with the problem of Belarus? [1800]

For example? What does Poland need that Belarus has?

Nuclear power plant is the first thing that comes to my mind.
Poland could clean up their air quality without having a nuclear reactor located on Poland's soil.
A win win for both countries.

I will believe that when Central European Union is created

What a magnificent thought Crow.
Get rid of the evil West and the evil East.

Poles will be able to practise their Christianity

Yes and with people that could easily assimilate to Poland's work force and culture.
Always take advantage of a disaster.

Actually just the opposite Captain Happy.
Simplicity of human nature can never be disappointing to a humble person such as myself.
Maybe you should tell us about your adventurous travels then instead of your constant belittling of others.

Thanks pawian as this is the kind of vacation highlight that I would be most interested in on my visit to Poland.

As far as the blaring music night club scene and fancy restaurants......been there, done that.
Hiking in the back country you will meet the humble Polish people who are not out to impress anyone.

Food / I SCREAM FOR ICE CREAM - the best ice cream shop in Poland? [34]

Just bought Grycan malina (raspberry) sorbet, hope it's good.

Actually sorbet is not ice cream.
Generally sorbets do not contain dairy ingredients.
Not saying that sorbet is not a treat, just saying that it is not ice cream.

based on Biden's strength in the polls ?

What strength ?
Remember when the polls had Crooked Hillary up by 8 points on election day and how all the Liberal news medias were saying that she had it in the bag ????

Remember when jon posted that Crooked Hillary was the projected winner in all of his hopes and dreams to destroy America.
I tell you cms, I live here and like Joker am listening to the people and what I have heard I can't see how Biden/Pelosi have a chance to even have the vote being close.

as more and more ppl are moving out if the Democratic controlled cities

That is because they know there is a Civil War on the horizon and that the cities will be the last place you will want to be when they start burning.

Most of the summer homes up here in Northern Michigan are being stocked to the brim with supplies so when they have to bug out of Chicago, Detroit, Cincinnati, Toledo and the likes they will have a safe place to run to.

(Many will find their cupboards bare.) :-/
I am the only one here old enough to remember Nikita Khrushchev predicting the adoption of communism and the gradual creation of a "socialist state" in the U.S. by him on September 29, 1959.

"We (meaning Russia) will not have to fire a shot, you will destroy yourselves from within."
And we are very close to be being there my friends as Biden and Pelosi would finish that goal off.

Now see I think Breyers is way way to sweet for ice cream.

Bens and Jerrys

And that is exactly why I refuse to buy Ben & Jerry's as good as it is.
All their fame went to their Liberal heads and I hate show boats.
It is damn good ice cream though.

I see you're running out of topics to talk about again.

Then start a new interesting Polish thread that we all will be interested in.
