So, there's an election watch party in Frankfurt on the 5th/6th. If you're interested, message me and I'll give you the details to RSVP. It will be near the Hbf.

Hi y'all,

The Dems Abroad are having a watch party in Frankfurt. If you're interested, message me and I'll give you the contact to RSVP. If you're going, see you there.

Cheers,

The more requirements you set, the more difficult and stressful will be to buy. Unfortunately, I am already in this trap Took me a year to find a 7-seater with enough technology for a reasonable price. But, I primarily wanted private, because they're usually cheaper, and I know more about cars than...

Only for Winter tires... Paragraph 36 STVZO (5) 1. a

Ah good to know, thanks.

Just as a hint: if a car's paperwork says that the car has a max. speed of 240km/h, its tires must meet or exceed those speeds to be considered road legal in Germany. This is something that the average American has not on the radar, as they consider 100mph to be warp speed, and thus usually have ti...

Ok thanks for the clarifications

I will try to get in touch with the guy you linked.

Thanks for the detailed answer, Panda. So, Franklan's suggestion isn't doable? My brother's in California, so the tax might be significant. Hmm. I thought I could request the tax number myself. I remember I had one when I was an English teacher when I first came here 10 years ago, and there definite...

Your brother hires you. This company will be the "man in the middle". Your brother pays them, they pay you. https://www.intertax-consult.de/ This is the most efficient way? Do you know in general what percentage they would take? And, this is of course only possible if he is able to take o...

I have an issue for which I'd love your feedback. So, I'd like to work with/for my brother, who has a business in California, and this is my understanding of the situation. Please let me know where I'm wrong, what other options I'd have, and what you would do in my situation. I am really bad at this...

Indeed Sunak wasn't the worst, but if you want people to throw down and say NO, just make sure a minority holds the highest office. Then, they will have had enough :lol: Same thing with Obama. Politics was shit but not insane. No, not until the African from Hawaii was elected president. THEN, they c...

By BNP you mean Consorsbank? Are the fees higher? Hmm. Kinda out of luck if nobody accepts you. I read somewhere that banks in Luxembourg are more amenable to dealing with US citizens. It is not Consorbank, it is DAB BNP Paribas, German headquarters, and accepts clients only through intermediaries....

Yup, they're generally quite good. I usually put fake travel plans in the application so that they send them back in a week

Who didn't see this coming? Donald Trump’s lawyers on Monday asked the New York judge who presided over his hush money trial to set aside his conviction and delay his sentencing, scheduled for next week. https://www.yahoo.com/news/trump-seeks-set-aside-york-002820639.html With the new Supreme Court...

IMO Biden’s very poor performance will keep many folks away from the voting booth who would otherwise vote. They aren’t disengaged, just exhausted. And as much as they hate Tr**p they can not stomach Biden at this point. I am extremely disappointed in Biden for not having handed the reins over to a...

Biden did look seriously old, and yeah, Trump broke the fact-checking machine. In the end this debate is supposed to help the undecideds, who are fucking idiots anyway. If you're undecided THIS YEAR especially, you're either lying to get attention, or you're deluded, but this year it seems engaged v...

... Hmm, might work, even though it rains a few days in a row sometimes (as you well know, I'm sure. Anyway, I will tackle this when I have more time. That's not a problem, mine are outside: IMG_1131.jpg Nice! Yeah that could work too. I'll just claim it's to keep cats away. If anything it'll be a ...

Yeah I'm surprised about the online marketplace. Where has that gone? Why is it now pay and pray? Anyway I don't know anything about growing. Is it possible to do it in a corner of the garden, like in-between other plants? It's mostly curiosity for me, and the fact that I can. I have three kids in ...

Is it possible to do it in a corner of the garden [..] If the garden is easily accessible, you will not be the one to harvest, though. Ah no worries. The garden itself is tiny (we live in an apartment in the city) but my kids aren't old enough to question something growing outside. We also have a p...
