for me in germany, its roughly 200€ per season, INCLUDING 2x changing tires, and also balacing the tires every time they are changed.
well, this is great because carrots are not great for bunnies.
We had a few bunnies over the last 15y, and i can only say that every bunny is different. :-) If they live in a group, they kind of copy SOME of their behaviour, but every new bunny brings new behaviour. And all have their specific fav food.

I was also in need of this history lesson. Thank you!
using rail. Nowadays austria cut that, and only says "We bring you to the border station on time, what happens after that is out of our hands."
Mostly correct. But here investing into maintenance is a problem over the last decades. We had many conservative governments in all of europe pulling money out of that, OR outright selling trains/subway system to privatize it, and we finally now pay the price.German railway was always on time before privatizing. Now (i.e. the last 10y) we have so many defects everywhere... Our neighbour austria had a connection plan running, so that you could drive from and to austria with minimal waiting times
That's correct. Sadly this is the reality. Afaik in the us there is no plan to put more money into more rail. Funny enough that EV's functioning and sell at all there is a miracle.Its hard enough here in europe, while here its more stubborness, oldtimers that dont see the change coming, and ofc the enemy of all mankind: lobbyism. And old guys in management.
And, when is that happening?
yeah, japanese carmakers are as dumb as our own (german) carmakers. Too little too late. That's why VW, BMW and Mercedes is struggling.
both great guys and musical talents on their own for at least a decade. i think this was their first collab.
The cells would not sound crackling like that and making a nice display.
firework meant to produce niece crackling sounds and a niece display. Maybe mixed with either a proper bomb to set it all off OR as other newsoutlets write a gasoline-based bomb to set it all of.
2/2 and after that the rest of the vehicle burns out. Its pretty much like a normal ICE carfire, but with a bigger ignitor of said fire. That said, nothing in this video looks like a lithium fire to me, and for that kind of bang we would have needed a lot of outgassing of the batterypack to happen, and the lithiumbattery cant gas out into the passenger area (on no EV afaik), so cant concentrate enough. Also, the other part here are the typical sounds of ofgoing firework after that. That was
Hi, ex-voluntary firefighter here. My old unit does drills/trainings around how to put out battery fires, and the trainings are for now with mostly Lithium-based batteries mostly. While a battery of that type could gas out and the gasses could end in such an explosion, all carbatteries are built to not allow that or shut off before that can happen. What you normally see on burning EV batteries so far is also mostly punctual damage resulting in a very hot and shortlived fire of the battery itself
both great acts btw, despite the questionable choice of hairstyle
seeing afd-adds all the time, am in germany too. So can confirm.
i mean... maybe we only see the first half here, we don't know what happens after this
this is from the music video of the band "de staat". https://youtu.be/0ttGgIQpAUc(im totally pulling your leg, but hey, its very close, and the music video is very good!)
also that, but they also just build their houses for maximum thermal management. Their windows are more expensive anyway, and i know a few norwegians who build their houses with at least one side with big(ger) windows, because it just makes the room more livable. And last year they had -45°C.And to it looking a bit more like in a catalogue, that's just the scandinavian way of interieur design.
Its not that we didnt wanted to, but we always had rather strict training routines. ;-) But be sure we always were envy that y'all had the newer/better equipment (mostly), aaaand of the amount of ammo you could use.I remember MG3-routines were each soldier had 15shots.
yeah, definitely could not do that any more with ours back then. :-) I sent my old commander a message, ours had from 1980 on no surge boards at the front any more but storage baskets instead. Thats how you can be sure its a non-amphibic. (the conversion was slow though, so you maybe saw some later atill with a surge board; at and around 2000 i knew of no active unit still running mtw/m113's still with amphibic capabilities.
there are a lot of different variations of the M113. But i think none of the turretversions are in ukraine.There definitely was a Gatlingturret (than the whole vehicle was called M163), and a specific missileturret (then antitank; forgot what that was called), and the version with the 50Cal (so 12.7cm for everyone not knowing what a 50cal is).
(to be clear, we're talking about the german M113, so the full name was M113 G A2, maybe thats different to your A2?)
Had to look it up, the last german M113 that was deemed amphibious was the A1. With the designation A2 they git 400kg heavier, and lost their amphibious capabilities. I started at the german army in 1999, back then i was told that we dont have MTW (M113) that are amphibious any more. But it was still part of our training what to do to make them watergoing again.
Also, as i remembered and saw here again, that the pbv has far wider tracks: i google the groundpressure. Because this is really important for going through mud and snow. The PBV has a groundpressure of 0.6kg/cm², the M113 even only 0.55kg/cm². BUT i still bet the wider tracks are better with mud. (and we see that a lot in ukraine)
I read that they only have 200, and are sending these with all parts they still have. Do you have another source on that?I mean... 200 capable battletaxis is still great.
will fare well in the mud and snow in the ukraine.
Ex-M113-Driver here. Main difference really is armour and armament. Also, MOST of the M113 in the ukraine have no armament at all, you just put a 7.62mm MG on top if at all. Its a battletaxi.And from the trials and trainings with the swedes, M113 (called MTW in the german army) and PBV are about on par in speed and manoveruability in crosscountry, but no M113 is amphibious any more since at least 1970. Groundpressure is also about the same (0.6kg/cm² on PBV, 0.55kg/cm² on M113), thats why both
