Travel / About cars, electric and combustion in Poland. [158]

All cars have designed in obsolescence. I really loved our 2002 Chevy Silverado until it got to the point the plastic interior parts started breaking off. Heck, even the dang heater coil junction broke off. Plastic. Cars and trucks are simply not built to have long durable lives anymore. No matter who makes them.

News / What will Britain's Labor Coup mean for Poland? [100]

Bright folks know Capitalism is great! And Corporatism sucks badly. Know the difference. Ironically it is normally corporate money that corrupts socialist every time. See China and it's Plutocracy Corporate model.

Life / Poland Is A Gem In Europe [71]

My Polish Piervomaiskoie's are some of the best growers of this years new grafts. I'm looking forward to trying a soft sweet and sour apple. You will not find one in stores here. Should have some in a year or 2.

Thinking of adding Kulon Kitka, Herma or Undine next year.

News / Low Priced Ukraine Blueberries have exporters routing around Poland [17]

I think the big problem is allowing the crop to pass through to the rest of the EU under the guise Ukraine was trying to flood the Polish Domestic market. I'd say let them pass through with an escort.

Life / Poland Is A Gem In Europe [71]

Well at least 72% of voters want Biden gone. That is a good start.

Life / Poland Is A Gem In Europe [71]

Yes. The USA is a terrible awful place. Stay away from us. Who would want to raise their own beef, pork , dairy and eggs at standards far higher then commercial operations? Live quietly where you never have to lock your door? Get in your truck and see/do anything the modern world has to offer within an hour drive? We are a bad country. Stay away.

Food / Poland origin apples and rootstock [18]


Got a link to the variety of apple you are talking about? I'm not familiar with that one.

So my Piervomaiskoie apple grafts are growing quite well. As is my Pionier from Romania

USA, Canada / Why Americans don't allow men to be in briefs at the beach/swiming pools? [90]

@wslipach
When you stop having a 5 year old brats views of Americans; maybe. You have zero idea what is allowed on American beaches.

USA, Canada / Why Americans don't allow men to be in briefs at the beach/swiming pools? [90]

Like there are not Nudist Beaches in the USA...lol...They have Nudist summer camps for pervs who like strutting their often disgusting junk around. But the public is not forced to see it. Amen. No one wants to see granpa's testicles and granny's boobs bouncing below their knees.

And plenty of men wear speedos on the public beach. The OP has no clue what they are ranting about.

Law / Income Earned 100% In USA and Poland Taxes [5]

I am surprised Poland does not have a wage harmonization scheme for foreign workers in Poland. I'm all for paying Polish tax rates. But not higher then anyone Polish doing the same work. You could drive away needed workers.

USA, Canada / Why Americans don't allow men to be in briefs at the beach/swiming pools? [90]

If prude means limiting what you expose children too; I'm a proud prude who will gladly kick a nudie perv's arse. How is that?

Social acceptance has limits. Get over it.

News / How will Poland be affected by WW3 which has now started [559]

@cms neuf

Who was being attacked before 2014 in Donetsk and Donbass? Ukraine at a minimum brought this on itself at least partially.

News / How will Poland be affected by WW3 which has now started [559]

Ukraine can win this war....in 10 to 15 years maybe. I doubt the USA voters are up for that though.....Terrible thing no one wants to set aside Pride for peace. Given the offensive operations by Ukraine into Russia; Russia is now certainly going to keep a buffer zone. Those pushing for strikes into Russia ignore the ramification of Russophobia. Yes Putin is a bad dude; we all agree. Yes Russia suffers a strange national lust for might and prestige.

They have always featured that self insecurity. But they utterly lack the ability to project that power. Good lawd folks; they are reduced to providing their line troops golf carts, atv's and motorcycles now. They are deeply in the hole on APC/IFV's. Their fleets of trucks are gone mostly. But they are also extremely capable. Did you see their drones using counter battery radar to find and destroy 17 Ukie artillery pieces yesterday? The carnage of the fuel trucks and M1 Abrams they found on the highway to Lipsky? Or the Patriot Radar their ELINT has monitored for weeks; which got Iskander'ed southwest of Sumy yesterday.

They can not be underestimated either. The very rare M1150 assault breacher destroyed by a single shot from a T-72B3 too. All yesterday. Then the Russians finally figured out that Ukie Sea Drones are easy to destroy by Helicopter. Even taking out the silly drone with heat seeking anti-aircraft missiles. It will not be long before the KA-27's with a machine gun rigged on them are replaced by genuine and much deadlier Gunship Helos protecting harbors and bridges. I saw the EU has chunked the idea of restarting production of outrageously expensive Storm Shadow/Scalp, As it appears now with updates even older S-300's are shooting them down.

Food / Panga Fish (available in Polish stores); I'll never eat it again. Alternative? [68]

Freaking commercial Fish names suck! If someone gives a fish a bad name; they change it to something else. That said they call this fish Basa here and it is quite good. Of course we do not let them ship in fish raised on a crap diet here so we do not have Health issues. Vietnamese freshwater Catfish is what it is.

BTW the real Panga is a small to medium saltwater rayfin fish. Great eating but rarely sold commercially. Think Bream or Perch

News / THE ARMY OF POLAND - THE REALITY [493]

Saw an Army article saying Poland acquiring a pair of F-15EX squadrons was in active talks. They are do it all capable and go very well with F-35's.

News / THE ARMY OF POLAND - THE REALITY [493]

Novi; I do not get what you are trying to say. We clearly know all about our military. And how to use it. To protect our Allies and Interests. And gain arms sales.

We are far from perfect. We fall for geewhiz gadgets too much. And end up with crap systems. But we make some Masterpieces too. Ie...No one even tries to mess with an F-22. F-15EX is so good they will probably be flying in 2100.

News / THE ARMY OF POLAND - THE REALITY [493]

For years the A-4 Skyhawk played Mig-17. F-5E the Mig-19 and 21. And F-4's played Mig-23/27. All fit the right performance level.

News / THE ARMY OF POLAND - THE REALITY [493]

The F-5A had a useful combat service in USAF, And later served stellar service as aggressor aircraft for both the USN and USAF dogfight programs in the F-5E model. The F-5G would have been a successful follow on. However politically placed golden parachute military industrial complex dupes were jealous it would lessen F-16 sales. So they moved to squash the program.

Very dumb. As the F-5 series was so very easy to maintain with little manpower. Versus an F-16 which needs big perfect airfields and an army of maintainers comparatively.

Love / Foreign Older vs Younger Relationships In Poland [20]

No. But perhaps it should be. Her parents raised that whole family out of 1920's rural farm life. They were a rough crew. A family in a time warp.

Love / Foreign Older vs Younger Relationships In Poland [20]

When I was young I preferred older women. Now I always seem to attract un-needed younger women. I have a woman and I'm not rich. But it is probably because I will listen to a woman . And have always been a male Slut. I think young ladies recognize that experience. Compared to many men who act like little boys and are frankly useless. Sometimes I think Humans will be imperiled by all the dysfunction between the sexes now. I also think this fuels the whole Trans Fad with people left unsatisfied with human sexual relations. Because so many today utterly lack the mental and emotional ability to engage and manage relationships.

It is crazy the attentions I have seen totally unsolicited. Many beautiful 30 somethings. Often stuck with kids from very ill-advised relationships with dumbarses. A few very overt and highly aggressive.

It is better they avoid me. Not only would my wife do away with them; she is expert level at disposing of bodies...lol...She has quite literally killed a deer with a pocket knife.

USA, Canada / Export of polish products to US [3]

Exporting AG products is a paperwork/bureaucracy no matter where you ship to these days. Get in line. Fill out your paperwork. Pay your fees. Wait for your authorizations. It is just a fact of globalization.

Also why you see few small businesses shipping. It is easier to get your stuff picked up by and import/export firm who has armies of lawyers trained in navigating crap.

Law / Gun control in Poland: should Polish people be allowed to own guns? [959]

Bear in mind; it can take an eternity for emergency services to arrive in much of America. It is not merely a luxury having a tool to keep the wolfs at bay until the authorities arrive,

Law / Gun control in Poland: should Polish people be allowed to own guns? [959]

Lol....Appalachia is beautiful and natural. And far safer then any metro. We rarely see crime here because you have to be stoned out of your mind to commit a crime. Everyone knows everybody. And dumb ass druggie criminals are known and watched. And when a bad crime happens like the Ahmaud Arbery murder, whose family lives in my county; we put the killers under the jail. All three of those ******** will likely die in prison.

Law / Gun control in Poland: should Polish people be allowed to own guns? [959]

Never had an injury; much less a death at any shooting event over the many hundreds I've attended. I'm sure for every child involved gun incident; we can find double the amount of EU children sold into the sex trade.

Law / Gun control in Poland: should Polish people be allowed to own guns? [959]

We have friendly fun family gun outings all the time with nary an incident. Many gun grabber claims are deeply rooted in emotion driven hyperbole; not factual at all.

One of my 8 year old granddaughters has already bagged 3 deer with her .243 Winchester single shot. She handles her gun with abundant caution built in safe firearms practices.

I encourage all to get legitimate training and decide for themselves. Many former anti-gun folks have become gun owners on my watch. Before you know it they are fixtures at ranges and turkey shoots.

It is like flipping a switch. My own mother was killed by a man who followed her home from the battered Women Shelter in St.Johns , NL where she worked

Food / Poland origin apples and rootstock [18]

UK Apples? I have a number targeted with other EU apples. Large Cooking apples and long storage apples are going to be my focus. I'm going to find niches in the markets. As well as using some in breeding. Grieve is a very popular apple.
