So you had the early bird special. Bummer, I thought you could give some insight on getting a good apartment.

Neukölln is getting gentrified fast, almost the entire inner district has been gentrified already. You can still find affordable places a bit outside of the Ring though which still might be nice enough and have good connections.

My old flat in Neukölln is gonna get turned into one of those fully furnished type deals, which means that the rent is probably gonna triple. Sorry to whoever asked a couple of months ago whether I already had a Nachmieter. I should have squatted the thing.

Flat hunting in Berlin really is a crapshoot. We got our flat because the person who signed after the first mass viewings backed out last minute. It was also luckily the cheapest we found in the area we were looking at, 750 warm (Schöneberg / Wilmersdorf, it probably helps if you don't want to live somewhere cool). The flat is a Neubau and built to such a standard that if ever a Blindgänger should go off in the vicinity, we'd have to look for a new flat. And sometimes foreigners will spend an unreasonably long time trying to unlock our door when they really want the Airbnb flat one floor up, in which nobody lives

Trying to picture what you'd have to do to my friend's Neukölln shithole to bring it up to gentrified AirBnB standards. Very possibly cheaper to build a new house if they're all like that.

Correction: first class bahn tickets are totally not worth it, everyone here is shouting into their business phone and the leather seats are cold. So for all those of you who dislike the bourgeoisie, be content in the knowledge that bahn is already trolling them.

I still got my 3-room flat in Prenzelberg for less than 700 warm but lol if they ain't been renovating every single house in our street (and putting penthouses on top). Luckily I am a very dangerous bearded Muslim dude and my wife looks very anti-Leitkultur, so we do our part by making South-German villagers uncomfortable by merely existing in the vicinity of their Kinderwagens, walking on the same side of the street at night etc

Best/worst are the first class seats in a loving Regionalexpress. They're basically the exact same thing with a different color of upholstery. But the Bahn attendants will still be quite happy to throw you out of them even if the rest of the wagons are full to loving burst.

Same seats, same widths, sometimes same color. Only difference is that you sit in an empty part of the train, jacket and shoes on seats front/next to you, sipping your LeCafe, all while watching your lessers trample and fight over scarce Lebensraum in second class. If you don't get this you don't really deserve to ride first class tbh Edit: The less its actually better than second class, the more first class it is Haramstufe Rot fucked around with this message at 14:13 on Feb 11, 2019 |

LEDs are a loving scourge on the road. Even worse are animated Blinker. I’d rather people not blink than use those distracting eyesores. One time a cyclist in front of me had a white LED pointed backwards, I was on a bike myself and couldn’t figure what the gently caress was going on, were they coming towards me or not? Then there’s cyclists actually using LEDs pointing forward but those are too loving bright too. I say this as a cyclist/pedestrian even.

Something i learned in Hannover on a 5km dual-direction bicycle stretch i used daily is that in general people have no idea that the front light is supposed to be pointed at the ground. Occasionally i was tempted to buy a 10000 lumen lamp i could switch on to demonstrate to people what they were doing. (Also to actually see again.) People with blinking poo poo on their bike should just get completely abgeholt by the polizei for endangering the general populace.

I have one of those bike lamps (ok, 2700 I think) and a) they're loving great to see by, b) it's really hard to mount it so it doesn't get into anyone's eyes in all situations (and god help my gegner). The usual sign that I pointed it too high is cars swerving cause they can't see anything anymore. Also, loving blinking lamps should be forbidden.

I've never owned a bike where the dynamo couldn't be flipped away from the wheel. Even if yours is fixed somehow there must be a plug for the power that you could pull and reconnect. Are you just hosed if anything stops working?

It's a Nabendynamo (can't disconnect) and there is no switch on the lamp. I could install a switch somehow or learn how to pull out wires every time. But I could also just never stop going fast

I didn't even know those existed, sucks that there isn't a switch on the lamp. The deutschfaden will make sure that the lamp maker gets the proper blame should you die from your speeding ways.

Happy Litterbox posted:Dumb question, but is it possible to lose your driving license because your eye doc figured out that you see gigantic blinding angel halos instead of car lights? Or is even then an obligation to confidentiality? It's one of my weird, probably irrational, fears. Contact lenses are supposed to cause an effect like this and there are special lenses available that claim to help with it. I have no idea if they actually work though. Occasionally, I have really lovely night vision myself too. Dunno what is causing this, but if doctor let 90y olds who are legally blind and deaf drive they are not gonna bother with small potatoes like us.

Aix posted:really this. make every use of that goddamn thing cost 100€ or something. people around here have taken to honking at anyone daring to slow down when they turn right (to let loving cyclists and peds pass first but if you cant see those from two cars back they dont exist yknow) Seriously, ever since I moved to Hamburg, it's been like a non-stop honking concert. It's like these fuckers here believe the horn has magical properties or something. Other cars on the crossing didn't instantly dematerialize the moment your light turned green? Honk, that will make them vanish! General congestion slowing things down? Honk, that will instantly make it go faster! Light is red? Honk some more, that will do the trick! The first honk didn't do the trick? Just lean on the loving thing for ten seconds straight (in a Wohngebiet, too), surely that will help!
