These are the generations that have never experienced the GDR as adults. The non-existent economy, the despotism, censorship, oppression, etc. Makes absolutely sense that it's the generations that thinks an ethnically clean Führerstaat under Bernd "Björn" Höcke is an experiment worth trying.

Another day, another bomb found in Hannover. This time my luck almost ran out, the thing was found close enough I had to leave the U-Bahn two stations early and go home on foot -through the evacuation zone, mind you.

Luckily the evacuation zone ended just a couple houses before it reached my home, but wow was that a scare. If any goons in Hannover are hit by this, hopefully you'll get at least a tasty soup out of this while you're waiting in one of the evacuation centers.

The other week while I was having lunch in beautiful Köln-Zollstock, some Ordnungsamt goons came in and went "Dieses Restaurant ist mit sofortiger Wirkung geschlossen. Raus! Jetzt!" and I was like :barf: but it was just a bomb they found 100 m away. The evacuation zone stopped one block short of my office, so thank you, Bomber Harris, but do better next time

Anyway, sending thoughts and prayers for the goldenen Keks and Fritz Haarmann

I'm extrapolating wildly here but are you saying that decades of Marxist indoctrination pushed Eastern Germans into voting right-wing out of sheer "NO gently caress YOU DAD"? Because I mean yeah that happened, for decades, with the CDU. And now the CDU doesn't cut it anymore so they move more right, but how is that a failure of Marxist indoctrination instead of an indictment of the pieces of poo poo who refuse to see the light that is scientific Marxism

What? AfD percentage by age in Sachsen goes like this:

18-24 years: 19%
25-34 years: 24%
35-44 years: 29%
45-59 years: 33%
60+:24%

The groups 25+ also have a ~9% difference between men and women. So old ladies and young people are the less rabid facists.

Deswegen ist die BahnCard 50 (50% nur auf Flexpreis!) auch nur für Leute sinnvoll die ihr Ticket immer sehr kurzfristig kaufen. :eng101: BC25 Rabatt gibts auch auf den Sparpreis.

BC25 Sparpreis Rabatt is included in BC50 now as well.

The whole system is dumb. They should subside the gently caress outta the Bahn so tickets only cost €10 anywhere and everyone gets first class treatment and seat reservations. gently caress airplanes.

very unscientific collection of sparpreises on each day in the future from now


summary: sparprices are decided on by how far in the future they are, and by how fully booked the train already is.

the flex price isn't the normal price, but literally just the convenience price for getting a ticket right now without helping the bahn with planning at all.

So basically the Sparpreis is like the €19.99 (for the first 3 out of 130 passengers) Ryanair flight price, while the Flexpreis is the regular price.

Somehow, even Britain hasn't hosed up train pricing bands this bad and you have two rates, one for rush hour to/from London and one for everything else.

They have some complicated profit optimization algorithm.

- The first couple of tickets on each train are always dirt cheap because anything is more profitable than a completely empty train.

- they let customers who have inelastic demand(like business travellers on a short notice) pay the maximum possible fee(that's where flexipreis comes in)

- if a train has higher than usual demand they ramp up the sparpreis curve to force people to alternative routes and maximize profits

etc.

I think British rail has something very similar. Or at least some companies do.

I just made the mistake of buying a bahncard and lol I actually need the physical card even for the number once the temp bahncard expires. I guess it's gonna get sent all the way to California since I buy tickets using my US credit card with my parents' billing address. It constantly surprises me how much German institutions still rely on/require physical mail for stuff. Why can't they just send me the permanent bahncard number in an email? What's so important about needing the physical card?

I haven't shown the physical card in forever. Afaik (not a Schaffner) you can either:

- show the virtual BahnCard in the Deutsche Bahn app or

If you bought the card through a registered DB account, you can just install the DB navigator app on your phone and it will download the card to it.

IDK how it works with the temp BahnCard but if that doesn't have the number (it really should be somewhere, like on your invoice maybe?) just have someone open that letter in California and send you a picture of the front/back of the BC?

Strangely, tickets are not linked to any specific bahncard number so you need to show it each time for proof that you actually own one. You also need to mail the bahncard back to them once you end your contract so I hope your parents haven't thrown it away

I guess it's just how it used to work back in the days before everything being networked and they haven't updated poo poo yet. I think you can add your bahncard to your DB navigator app now so you don't have to carry it around anymore but I haven't tried it yet

Yeah, tried what looked like the temp number, just gave me an error message.

And that's my plan, the whole thing just seems ridiculously unnecessary for them, especially considering they have an app that clearly had the necessary functionality to not require the physical card around anymore, all they'd have to do is include the number in the email they already sent me after buying the Bahncard. But instead they're sending a letter to California.

Just checked my emails: I received my first invoice one day after ordering the card. The invoice had the Bahncard number in it so maybe look again through your stuff. You should definitely have a number assigned to you at this point.
