EV Show in Sofia

I accidentally visited an EV car show in Sofia. Hundreds of Chinese cars lined up on the square, ready to be tested and purchased. Pretty cars, cheap cars, big cars, very big cars. I was impressed by the amount of marketing money invested to show all these cars.

Here are the vehicles that won my attention:

A 50-year-old trolleybus and a retro-sci-fi single-seater EV sports car that looked as if it was built in someone’s basement to be a bat mobile.

The other cars kind of explained a lot to me why people still drive their 20-year-old petrol cars.

Oh, and of course, here are some electric scooters.

Slop grenade

Phrase of the day, thanks to Shopify’s CEO, who used it.

A slop grenade is when a person uses a small prompt to generate one or multiple walls of texts that then need to be read and understood by others. The slop grenade doesn’t need to be bad slop. There can be some good meaning in the wall of text. The issue is with the deferred understanding. In order to truly process it, you need to either spend unreasonable amount of time or use agents and throw the grenade back.

I experience this somewhat often but had no words for it. I’m in love with this phrase.

Have a nice day

I got myself into an industrial zone today while trying to get a medical document for a relative. What industrial zones have is dogs, and one dog barked me. So I hope that whoever reads this post has a better day than me.

Here’s a prince or a princess, wearing a star-shaped necklace. She was very vocal.

First day of school

~ Veselin ~ 4 Comments

15th of September is one of the most organic unofficial national holidays in Bulgaria, together with 24th of May. It’s the first day of school, when we celebrate that our kids got one year wiser. 24th of May is the other one with similar gatherings. There were more parents and grandparents than children in the yard, lots of flowers, and some balloons.

Happy first day of school to us 🙂
