We don't drive much but I am an auto hobbyist, so I have to set my sights on small-displacement engines from now on. I guess no AMGs for me

Even though I hold dual citizenship I do understand the reasoning behind it being restricted - where do a person's loyalties actually lie?
Reasonable exceptions would be allowing country of birth plus citizenships of the parents. Naturalisation (like in my case) makes little sense really ...

A bit off topic but Trump and his cronies have suggested stripping U.S. citizenship from any U.S. citizens that hold dual passports. No, I haven't gotten my German one yet. It is all chaos.


Nah just like most of his bullshit proclamations, he has no authority to strip US citizens, dual or ...

It totally works!

Argentina just defended the entire time. Nothing else. Was pretty dull.

Just been watching a family of 6 deer grazing in the field behind the house. such a wonderful sight!!!


Hah just read this. Brilliant.

I haven't watched anything new in a while as I don't have time to concentrate on something without also doing something else (like working, cleaning, etc.). I ...

Poor Curacaoans

Very happy about the Japan Netherlands draw

I think our whole apartment is a junk drawer. How is it that you don't even have a drawer?

Our upcoming summer FRA-SFO-FRA flight was about 3500 euro for 5, so not the most amazing deal, but not terribly by any stretch. It all depends on the route and the demand.

It's not too late to buy insurance once you've booked. That's mostly when people buy insurance. Check24 will give you a good comparison. It's cheap, especially if you get a yearly policy.

ALL ELECTIONS ARE LOCAL! VOTE IN EVERYTHING YOU CAN!

I 'moved' to a friend's place in CT before coming here, too. Sadly that only exempted me from the practical test - still had to do written, which I passed... on the 3rd try

Just change your address with your bank online, and voila.

Yes, my American friend who lives here got stopped at the airport in Florida last year and wasn't allowed to fly home because her U.S. passport was going to expire in a few months. She had to fly to New Orleans to get an emergency passport. That wasn't cheap or convenient. Mind you, that was ...

Also while we are on the whole topic, how come they can make a paper passport which gives me entry to the UK and loads of other places for £94.50, but to make a digital "Certificate of entitlement" it costs £589?

I mean I would still be pissed off if I had to pay 94.50 but 589 looks like ...

That's what he said to the kids...

Not for child sex crimes, mind you. And only because he's NO LONGER A PRINCE. The word is fucked.

Your US passport is your Ausweis. That’s what I used of course to get my number years ago. I just went to the Telekom store and dealt with a human being.


I was referring to the Ausweis app, which requires a "german ID card, electronic residence permit or eID card for EU citizens." I suppose ...

If there was no weapon, one must wonder why the witnesses didn't intervene if they were able-bodied. What a pity.


Especially his acquaintances/friends. These things can happen really fast, before you even get to realise and think about what to do.


Well, you never know whether a concealed ...
