  • I’m on the same boat. I needed this and was about to write similar post yesterday (but got too tired).

    This year has been pretty rough at work for me with today being the worst (so far). My best office buddy/colleague left for another company last week - good for him as he is now in very friendly space, it’s hard work, but whole different league in terms of company level. So we’re one person down, more work to do and no replacement in sight. I still have two other colleagues which I like as my siblings, but… Our boss is such a trash person! He’s selfish prick with unsatiable god complex, never admits he’s wrong and boy oh boy, he’s wrong a lot. And it’s getting worse and worse as he gets older.

    So thank the OP for good read of some positivity, which is pretty much lacking in my day to day basis.















  • I was buying new (used) car half a year ago. There were two reasons why I ended with ICE again.

    1. Price. EV, even used ones, are so damn expensive it’s just not for normal people. Everyone is saying how they lose value instantly and so on, but when I look at the market, even the cheapest ones (over 10 years old Nissan Leaf that will do less than 80 km on battery at summer) are ridiculously priced compared to ICE of the same age and similar specs. At least that’s what it is in my country.

    2. Chargers. I live in an appartement without garage, parking on the street. No way to charge it with “cheap household electricity” over night. There are I believe 3 chargers in my ~15k town and every single one is ridiculously overpriced. 1 kWh there costs almost as half a litre of gas. Considering fuel/electricity consumption, this is making the cost per km of both options virtually identical for me.

    Everyone around me is very EV-skeptical and old fashioned. I’m not and I’m cheering for EVs. So I really wanted to switch, but hell it wasn’t making any sense yet.
