Kutil then compared Filip Turek to Don Quixote, who fought against windmills, and Petr Macinka to his nodding sidekick Sancho. He wrote that Turek set off against the wind turbines in a thirsty eight-cylinder Mercedes G-Class, while behind him stood a coal mine. The author ironically added that the result of such a battle could be a landscape marked by quarries, tailings ponds, and chimneys, and questioned the idea that an opponent of wind farms must be a hero. #DonQuijote #českákrajina #větrnéelektrárny (translated)

Tomáš Prouza claimed that the Prague magistrate abolished price caps for traditional taxis with taximeters from October 1, without notifying residents and tourists. According to him, this allowed drivers to charge a starting rate of 666 crowns and 444 crowns per kilometer, which he said could lead to rides costing tens of thousands of crowns. He linked the change to the long-term effort of traditional taxi drivers to limit competition from digital platforms. He stated that the parliamentary amendment, advocated by ANO and the Pirates, aimed to drive thousands of taxi drivers out of Prague. He attributed falling prices, better ride availability, and the ability to know the price in advance to the applications. According to Prouza, the responsibility for the taxi service area lay with Prague's deputy mayor for transport, Jaromír Beránek. Prouza called the change an adjustment pushed through at the request of the taxi mafia and warned that it could damage Prague's reputation. He also referred to the city's decision to abolish the price cap and questioned the timing of the change before the elections and its secrecy. https://t.co/ipI2QMVBLE #taxi #prague #praha #magistrat #taxi #praha #magistrat (translated)

Michal Hardyn stated that after two years and more than 60,000 kilometers driven, he completed the first regular service with his Tesla, focused on filter replacement and basic inspection. He paid 8,000 and according to him, it was done before he finished his coffee and dealt with several emails. He said he was enjoying the experience with the car more and more, and in the showroom, he promised Adrian from Tesla in Prague that he would try to purchase a Model Y Performance in the spring. At the open house event at Tesla in Průhonice on Saturday, according to Hardyn, there were hundreds of people and the showroom was crowded. They presented FSD, which is the system where the car drives itself and the driver supervises. Hardyn wrote that some participants already had this function, while his vehicle was still waiting for the update. He described the most interesting experience as the voice assistant Grok in Tesla. He explained that while driving, he asked it to find a newsletter from the office, read it, and open an attachment that contained, according to him, the answer to the question of when the reconstructed playground would reopen. He added that he could also access files on Google Drive or GitHub this way and can voice-search for the highest-rated McDonald’s restaurant along the route. Hardyn compared the current situation of car manufacturers to the former competition between Nokia phones and the iPhone. According to him, traditional manufacturers focus on choosing interior colors and more complex configurators, while customers are starting to care about what the car can achieve during the journey. He wrote that cars should serve people, not the other way around. #Tesla #autonomnířízení #zážitky (translated)

He rejected this, stating that his children and farm were waiting for him at home, and advised other foreigners to think carefully about relocating to Russia. #Rusko #imigrace #válka (translated)
