I mean, you can always hook a trailer to a normal car or something like a Subaru Outback if you’re going off-road. That’s what people do here. Monday to Friday they commute in their normal, affordable, not extremely huge car and on Saturday the trailer comes out.

“But now it’s kinda obvious so we better spin it as a newly discovered development in order not to look too bad.”

Seems that it is pronounced “u-telsat”.

Trump might be an idiot, but he is not so much of an idiot to take on the entirety of Europe

I don’t think he’ll have to. With Europe busy infighting and a war on the eastern border, he can snack up Greenland just as he’s planning to. Nobody will do anything about it at that point.

France should be big enough that you can avoid her in day to day activities, I think.

Yep. I’ve been mapping for OSM since back in 2007. When I started, there were a few Autobahnen and major roads and the rest of my area was a white, empty triangle, 50km in every direction. Now I’m mapping wastebaskets and surfaces and width of residential streets. Not that I’m complaining. OSM is the most usable map material for anything related to hiking, biking and walking places, at least here.

Not so great for driving though, because no major navigation app based on OSM uses crowd sourced movement data - hence, no traffic jam prediction. Still need Google Maps for that.

At least https://abetterrouteplanner.com/ seems to be using OSM data, but while their charging planning is excellent, the traffic predictions are unusable. Works well for long distance travel, really does, but when I’m close to an urban center I always switch to Google Maps.
