Cannibis isn't metabolized for days and can be detected in one's system long after the 2 hour or so high effect is gone. So, just because it is detected, doesn't mean the person is impaired. That's the problem, the driving laws should be updated after the legalization that just happened. With the c...

Croatia is full member of Schengen since the beginning of last year.

Every time I renew my passport they punch a couple of holes in the old one and return it to me. Yes. It works that way with US Passports. But it doesn’t necessarily work that way in other countries. Yes. AFAIK most countries just stamp the main pages saying it is not valid anymore. Anyway, I assume...

Our plumber said it is good for the drain to pour very hot water down on occasion. I had the same a few months ago. The plumber advised me to pour hot water down to keep the pipes clear. That would be to melt the "black sludge" that builds up inside the pipes in your (kitchen and bathroom...

I think an important one is convincing the wife and daughter they do not need to boil one liter of water in the kettle to make a cup of tea. So far I've have failed.

I'm all for saving a few cents and being green but some of this stuff seems extremely anal to me. What for one person may seem "anal" is for another person quite useful! Okay, so you live in a flat in the city, so maybe for you, it would be a good idea to either install a low-flush toilet...

The app Too Good To Go has been a success in our family. It took some time to find the stores that give the best deals, but now we are down to a couple of bakeries we buy from through TGTG at least once a week, sometimes twice. For less than 5 EUR we get 2 to 4 sandwiches, croissants, simits, apple ...

I know of 15yr old boys ecycling short distances to school. After all, perhaps their parents or elder brothers DRIVE to the gym. You know, for fitness.... :roll: What's wrong with driving to the gym for fitness? There are two types of exercises you can do in a gym: Cardio and Resistance. Resistance...

Indeed protection for children, you didn’t have to remove it, you put the two prongs of the plug in the two holes of the protector and then rotate the plug until you find the socket holes and the plug goes in. Normally you have to rotate 90 degrees.

Maybe they often park in double line because they want to be as close to your door as possible since they are carrying things that are extremely heavy. Just an idea.

You might be justified to refuse the delivery even, and inform the Ordnungsamt.

They should deliver washing machines by (non electric) bicycles.

We just received a new fridge last week, delivery was free but "installation" was 119 EUR which of course I didn't pay. I am not a friend of the tipping culture and I hate that it is lately expanding to other jobs outside of food and beverages, but the fridge was a double door one and they...

Another big advantage of e-Prescription is when you get a regularly the same medicine, you do not have to go to the doctor anymore, you can just call them and ask for a refill and they put it in the system.

I can only attest to the fact that some of us live in places where many of these magical changes don’t occur as quickly as they do in the „big city“. A year ago I had to hand carry my sinus x-ray results to the HNO Arzt. Not sure if that’s changed yet. And the e-prescription has only been recently ...

Totally off topic, but if you are on the public health system there are no more papers, the MC is now 100% online. You only have to inform your employer about it and they are the ones that have to pull it online from the health insurance company. It has been like that for a while, and since not so ...

If you're interested I recommend the book of Bill gates on this topic. He convinced me that even if we were to produce ALL energy vua renewables, so zero fossil burning, we would still be emitting more co2 than the planet can tolerate. Making stuff emits co2. Even with entirely renewable energy. Th...

Take a Friday off, have the procedure done on that Friday, and if you feel unfit to work on Monday, ask your GP for the yellow piece of paper. Totally off topic, but if you are on the public health system there are no more papers, the MC is now 100% online. You only have to inform your employer abo...
