Finere ja, men SUV-fasongen / -proporsjonen blir aldri fin i mine øyne.

@arne22 du kom med tekniske påstandar og viste til piratradioer på fm. Då er det ikkje heilt enkelt å vite at du sikta til regulatoriske kostnader. Forøvrig er det mønster; du flytter målpostane når du får svar.

Noe interessante artikler; US looks like it’s 'having a nervous breakdown' as Trump breaks old world order Et stort problem med det amerikanske samfunnet fra begynnelsen er at ordet "samfunnsfred" aldri har eksistert - "From the outside, it looks as though the United States is having a nervous breakdown," Friedman, founder and chairman of Geopolitcal Futures, writes in the i Paper. "Decisions taken by the White House — at home and abroad — have appeared erratic and irrational. Yet, what we are actually seeing play out is one of the virtues of the United States — its ability to reinvent itself in fundamental ways." Friedman continues, "The United States is an invented nation. Its system of government engineered at a meeting in Philadelphia in 1787. Its citizenry is also invented, based on the vast number of nations from which the population migrated, creating a unique and powerful culture." Friedman isn't necessarily defending Trump, but rather, his point is that the United States didn't suddenly become turbulent — it was turbulent from the beginning. "Invention and reinvention in all things is the foundation of American culture, along with the concept of obsolescence," Friedman explains. "Over time, it evolves and seems to be profoundly different than it was — first by violating norms, then creating new ones. It is a process that seems like a breakdown. What it is, is reinvention." The 77-year-old Friedman, whose family moved to the U.S. from Hungary, cites "two examples" of the U.S. "reinventing itself" in the past. "In the Great Depression of the 1930s," Friedman recalls, "Americans suffered, raged and isolated themselves to the largest extent possible from the world. President Franklin D. Roosevelt came into office, destroyed the existing reality and oversaw the construction of a new one. He issued executive orders that had no basis in the constitution, such as shutting down the banks. He was accused of being a dictator, and his actions were reversed many times, including in the Supreme Court. He responded by trying to pack the (U.S. Supreme) Court with judges loyal to him. He failed but was not daunted." Friedman continues, "Many loathed him, many loved him…. Consider now the 1970s. The Vietnam War and matters of race tore the country apart. The United States lost the war, and many said the U.S. was a failing country. It suffered economically from inflation, along with freezing wages and prices, something without precedent…. Then, in 1981, Ronald Reagan came to power, violated all prior norms by decreasing taxes on the wealthy, which although held in contempt by his detractors, made possible the surge of investments in computer technology." Friedman emphasizes that whatever one thinks of Trump, it is important to understand him. "Both in the 1930s and 1970s," Friedman says, "the U.S. seemed to be having a nervous breakdown. It was reinventing itself. The same is happening now in Trump's America…. Trump is generating a new geopolitical reality. If we are to understand his behavior, he has been engaged in the process of the creative destruction of the old and obsolete order, paving the way to a new world order that allowed the United States to focus on its near abroad, rather than to the onerous necessity of being forced to be a global policeman." Dette gjør det amerikanske folket for utilregnelig for resten av verden. Discontent over US intervention grows in Venezuela: 'This isn't getting better: it gets worse every day' Det er mulig at det første opprøret mot Trump vil ikke være i USA, men i Venezuela hvor det ikke har blitt bedre, oljepengene helt utebli, både regime, vanlig folk og lokale oljeprodusenter har opplevd at mens det eksporteres mer og mer, har meget lite kommet i retur. U.S. guardianship over Venezuela endures. And with it a hard-to-describe sense of waiting grows among the population: a huge expectation of economic improvements and a transition to democracy that has yet to materialize. Impatience is spreading, especially among political elites. Oil production is rising, driven by new exploitation licenses granted by Washington, but the surplus has not yet translated into revenue for the treasury. The currency steadily depreciates. Economic stagnation is one of the most frequent — and distressing — topics of conversation in the streets of Caracas. Contrary to what Donald Trump said, Venezuelans are not dancing with joy in the streets. “The gringos do whatever they want and nobody here says anything,” says Gregoria Acosta, a resident of Petare, a large working‑class area east of Caracas. “They said things were going to get better, but the dollar is worse than ever. I think those guys just want to take the oil.” On Thursdays and Fridays it has become common for relatives of political prisoners, activists, union leaders and teachers not to march to downtown Caracas — where the public powers are — but to the U.S. embassy in the Valle Arriba neighborhood, to confront Chargé d’Affaires John Barrett or ask Washington to intervene for better wages and an electoral timetable. “The gringos arrived and began making promises that things would improve,” says Roberto Tovar, a plumber from Chapellín, a working‑class neighborhood wedged between middle‑class areas in north‑central Caracas. “This isn’t getting better: it gets worse every day. I’ve even thought about emigrating again.” “Oil production is rising, but the currency continues to depreciate every day and inflation is accelerating,” Ricardo Hausmann, a Venezuelan economist and Harvard academic, wrote on X while commenting on how Washington is handling the country’s oil revenues. “Not much money is actually coming into Caracas.” “Venezuela is not today where we hope it will be for the people of Venezuela’s sake, but it is moving in the right direction,” Secretary of State Marco Rubio said at a recent appearance before the House. “Our hope was to stabilize the country. We didn’t want to see civil war. We didn’t want to see systemic collapse. We didn’t want to see a mass migration event. You’ve seen none of these things,” he added. Rubio said the oil surplus should be audited before entering the Venezuelan economy: “Venezuela’s economic recovery is going to take time.” The news of the operation that resulted in the death of El Niño Guerrero — head of Tren de Aragua, the Venezuelan‑origin criminal organization present in several countries — announced by Trump himself, was received in Caracas with disbelief and mockery. People talk about the “close cooperation” Washington attributes to the government of Delcy Rodríguez in the operation, and the freedom with which U.S. armed forces operate on Venezuelan soil. Another widely discussed episode came on May 23, when U.S. military aircraft crossed Caracas’s skies and landed near the embassy. Days earlier, General Dan Caine, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the U.S. Armed Forces, had visited the country in the absence of Delcy Rodríguez, who was on a visit to India. Some opposition politicians privately call Washington “the guardian.” In critical sectors of Chavismo, the term used is “the wards.” Hardliners no longer hold back their criticism of acting President Rodríguez, whose administration has accepted Washington’s directives with striking docility. Historic leaders of the United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV), such as Elías Jaua — a former vice president and close confidant of Hugo Chávez — have urged activists to organize against the guardianship. The Simón Bolívar Coordinator — the founding core of the colectivos, armed civilian militias loyal to the revolution present throughout the country — issued a statement denouncing “a country besieged by international corporations, invaded by the mercenaries of capital, and militarily attacked” and called on its members to resist. Washington officials enter and leave the country leaving directives on the new oil, energy, and mining laws that the National Assembly has been approving. Talks between the two governments do not focus on democracy or human rights. They get straight to the point: security, better conditions for private investment, lower royalties for the state, returns for international capital. “Operational normalization — licenses, energy, mining, security, and contracts — is advancing much faster than a verifiable democratic architecture,” Benigno Alarcón, a Venezuelan lawyer and political analyst, wrote on X. “The main risk remains that the regime advances its stabilization and manages to replace transition with normalization. That it succeeds in co‑opting relations with the United States,” he added. Within the opposition leadership, U.S. guardianship tends to be seen as temporary and necessary. With free elections and the restoration of popular sovereignty, leaders such as Juan Pablo Guanipa or Andrés Velásquez say things would return to normal and the United States would leave. Rubio’s three‑phase plan — stabilization, recovery, and transition — remains the opposition’s reference roadmap. “We have discussed and approved a roadmap in the [opposition Unitary] Platform that marches in step with what Marco Rubio has said; there is no mystery about that,” says Delsa Solórzano, leader of Encuentro Ciudadano and a key figure of the Unitary Platform. “We met in Panama and reached important agreements, those outside the country and those of us remaining here. Their presence is necessary at this stage. Our first objective is to return to democracy.” “The loss of sovereignty is a very serious issue that everyone avoids confronting,” says Andrés Caleca, leader of the Movimiento por Venezuela party. “Twenty‑seven years of Chavismo meant the destruction of the Republic. The violation of Venezuelan sovereignty goes back a long time: control of the repressive apparatus and of the Armed Forces themselves has been Cuban. We saw it on January 3: Maduro’s security ring, flattened in that attack, was made up of Cuban soldiers,” he adds. Caleca then alludes to María Corina Machado: “There are sectors in the opposition that have been asking for a military intervention for many years. They have said it: we cannot do it alone. That has consequences. And here we are.” “The population expects political change, but above all, and first and foremost, improvements in the economy,” says Félix Seijas, an executive at the polling firm Delphos. “Most of the country sees that things are moving slowly, but the population also greatly values the change in atmosphere since January 3. The dominant feeling in the measurements is that things have been delayed, but that something definitive will have to happen in Venezuela. That expectation remains,” he explains. “There is total dependence of the regime on the interests of the United States,” says prominent historian and intellectual Elías Pino Iturrieta, a voice widely heard within opposition ranks. “The opening is minimal, with imperial complacency: stepmother Trump and his submissive stepchildren. The opposition hesitates, because it also depends on Mar‑a‑Lago. It is not an auspicious outlook, and there are no near prospects for change, due to the weakness of social forces and the fear of repression,” he laments. For the writer and professor, Venezuela, far from dancing, “revels in a fetid swamp.” Til tross for Rubios innsats er det meget smertelig klart at noe er gått meget galt, altfor lite av oljeinntektene som var ført inn i et fond under amerikansk kontroll - som Rubio selv ikke kunne komme til - har blitt returnert til Venezuela hvor alle er i ferd med å bli misfornøyd. Fondet er under Trumps kontroll...

Er dette argumenter for å IKKE kjøpe elbil nå?

Ny undersøkelse omtalt i Aftenposten i dag: "Andelen som mener pride-markeringen tar for mye plass, har økt fra 32 prosent i 2022 til 45 prosent" I denne situasjonen, er det riktig å gjøre den offentlige skolen til en kamparena for saken? Jeg mener nei. https://www.aftenposten.no/norge/i/M7ELMM/rapport-oekt-skepsis-til-pride-markering

En SUV blir aldri veldig pen. Enig i at i3 ser mye bedre ut. I hvertfall mye bedre enn forrige generasjon i3. 🤭

Flere hadde blitt arrestert, men siden løslatt fordi det er ikke straffbart å plaske eller endog komme ut i bassenget - slik at det nå er legale reaksjoner mot DOJs handlinger som definitivt er ikke tillatt, mens Trump skrek opp og baljere med full kraft om "antifa sabotører" med åpenbar skadefryd over at tilfeldige uskyldige hadde blitt arrestert av militære, politi og paramilitære som ved konfrontasjon demonstrert stor rådvillhet om egne handling. Nå er bassengvannet så giftig at døde dyr som endeunger er sett, det hadde blitt hellet ut for mye hydrogen peroxide at det kan produsere milde etseskader for mennesker i kontakt med vannet. Det blir også oppdaget at det ikke lenge er sirkulasjon av vann i bassenget, som før hentet vann fra Potomacelven, slik at vannet raskt bli dårlig under varmen, og med mørk underlag er det ikke rart at algeproblemet blir langt større enn normalt. How to get a Trump pardon: Forget the DOJ, call “Bobby” and other influencers | Reuters Folkestemningen i Washington blir surere og surere, en anti-Trump holdning er sterkt synlig. Samtidig blir Trumps korrupsjon enda mer fordømmende, da det kom fram at hele 96 % av alle pardonene var hendt i konflikt med retningslinjer - i mange tilfeller er det dokumentert at man regelrett bestukket den amerikanske presidenten for å slippe straff.

Ja ser du sliter med å finne valide motsvar, så forstår din bekymring der.

Fordi EU ikke har et sinnssykt ekspansivt statsbudsjett år etter år og heller ikke har ca 33% ansatt i offentlig sektor (som er så å si fredet fra oppsigelser) hvorav en enorm andel har nesten en millionlønn

Det var virkelighet skikkelig krise hvor Vance var rimelig sint mens det var meget rødglødende telefonsamtaler mellom flere land da Qatar og Pakistan grepet inn etter Trumps meget sanseløse trusler som ingen så kommende. I slutten valgt delegasjonene å forhandle på nytt, muligens etter Trump eller det hvite huset kan ha beklaget det. Men; det var blitt klart for alle at Trump har blitt rett og slett utilregnelig i slik grad at selv hans lakeiene hadde måtte gripe inn. Dessverre er skaden hendt; intensjonsavtalen kunne ikke berges, alt som kunne gjøres var å bedrive skadebegrensning - forhandlingene vil fortsette i en uke mens alt utsettes for 60 dager på ubestemt tid. Inntil videre vil ikke stredet åpnes. Mens det finnes en vilje på begge sider om å avslutte krisen og avverge oljesjokket har det vist seg at Trump har blitt for dement og farefullt impulsivt, det kom fram at det var Lindsay Graham som hadde fått Trump til å komme med disse truslene etter å ha snakket med ham og indisert at man kan ta stredet under kontroll med bakkestyrker. Nå er det oppstyr i senatet hvor Graham konfronteres mens både republikanerne og demokratene innså at de har en president som er blitt altfor utilregnelig i Lovens øyne bokstavelig talt. I slik grad at det grubles på om at han må avsettes, og Vance kan bli sterkt fristet til å starte prosessen. Netanyahu nekte å gå med på noe som helst forpliktelser omkring Libanon og opptre meget provoserende med en retorikk som frustrerte de fleste som lytte på ham. I det minst hadde israelerne blitt stoppet etter de siste sammenstøtene som kostet dem flere dusin soldater. Stredet er stengt. Men; oljeflyten ut av den persiske gulfen er ikke stanset - for iranerne tillatt kontrollert seiling gjennom sin egne skipsled på iransk sjøterritorium av "godkjente" frakt som utvilsomt går til vennligstemte land som Kina slik at trafikken er holdt ned på et minimum, alt kan komme ut - men ingen kan komme inn, selv disse som drar til Iran stanses på indiahavkysten for å motta olje. Dette gjør at markedet forsto at iranerne er ikke villig til å stenge ned all oljetrafikk, og dermed reagere mer negativt mot Trump enn mot Teheran.

Ja, ser det via konfigurator. Kom ingen opp på den siden jeg prøvde, men ikke første gang man finner feil på slikt.

Jeg gikk inn på en annen måte, og da dukket ingen biler opp. Men det gjør det heller ikke når jeg fjernet diesel filter. Så det er noe rart hos de.

Det blir helt feil for meg å skulle la barna selv bestemme hva slags undervisning de skal delta i. For meg er hele diskusjonen om Pride på skolen en skinndebatt. Den egentlige debatten er om barn skal lære om seksualitet, legning, kjønnsidentitet, kjønnsinkongruens og kjønnsroller på skolen, hvorvidt skolen skal formidle verdier som mangfold og likeverd til barna, og om den historiske og pågående undertrykkingen av homofile og transpersoner. Pride er en glimrende anledning, der man har en ramme utenfor skolen som skal benyttes. Det finnes homofile elever på alle normale skoler. De vil ha stor nytte av Pride. Jeg syns argumentasjonen mot Pride er svak og i stor grad basert på konstruert argumentasjon eller religiøst vås. Det eneste spørsmålet som jeg mener er relevant er om religiøse foreldre skal kunne kreve fritak, slik de til dels har rett til i Opplæringsloven. Dette er et grensetilfelle, men jeg mener at undervisning om Pride trolig er viktigst for disse barna som ellers er de som virkelig blir indoktrinert.
