I just filed my taxes for 2018 and I'm filled with rage. Especially because I am supposed to pretend I'll ever have a gesetzliche Rente. :colbert:

Why does the tax return always take so long for us worrking stiffs, randler? they already have all my financial data through the arbeitgeber and I've even entered it for them again into Elster. I'm below the werbungskostenpauschale. There is absolutely no reason why I shouldn't get my steuerbescheid a day later. Why are humans involved in these routine cases at all? Just let skynet do that poo poo.

They can do it without human interference now. That was one of the major changes in the past years. However, the technical implementation is still in progress and, generally, the required software to assess taxes for any given year only becomes available somewhere around March in the following year. Furthermore, if you really are a working stiff, they will only bother assessing you for taxes if you apply for it, because they already got all the money they could ever get from you via the Lohnsteuer withheld by your employer.

And in case you're a moderately-sized fat cat, stuff will probably take even longer this year, due to the changes made to investment gain taxation, which will be relevant to you once you have capital gains, dividends (deemed or actual) exceeding the Sparer-Pauschbetrag. (And if you still get the Sparer-Pauschbetrag, you will never be a big league fatcat.)

Went to the Gartencenter for some Tomatenerde and 1) they didnt have any and 2) the lady there told me I should use Kräutererde for the first umtopfing out of the Quelltabs and save the Tomatenerde bzw. Erde mit Dünger for when I umtopf the chilis into their final home (a bigger pot on my balcony).

Was she correct or was I schlecht beraten? My biggest plant is about 6cm tall atm and I feel like that's either stupidly leggy, or it's time to umtopf

For serious questions about gardening there's always this thread:

Putting your seedlings straight into Dünger Erde can "burn" their roots, so do this if you want them to know the world is a harsh place. Use Anzuchterde if you're using your plants as ersatz children and want to coddle them.

I've always put my plants straight into their final Erde and they've always survived but were kinda weak tbh

Nope, she's pretty much right on the money. Tomaten Erde is perfect once your plants are ready for their final home. The first umtopfing or "Pikieren", to be precise, is what anzuchterde is for, Kräutererde works fine as well.

Not sure if I misspoke in a previous post, my bad if so.

/edit: yeah, mein Bös, I tried to point out that Kräutererde and Tomatenerde are pre-mixed substrate that you don't really need to düng to the letter, didn't mean to imply that pre-mixed erde might not actually be pre-düngt too much for frishly pikierte setzlinge.

Don't worry, I took the extremely numerous Kotzflecken scattered around the city as a warning and am working from home tomorrow (at the very least). On Rosenmontag I won't even be in Köln, which, upon reflection, has the obvious downside of having to interact with Köln Hbf on the day before and after Rosenmontag. Ah, I'm sure I'll be fine

Today I saw someone carrying two Kölsch Fässer while obviously drunk already at 11 am on Gleis 9, almost falling on the Gleis and being insecure enough for my Regional Express to brake hard and honk in fear of him actually falling.
Later on I saw someone else puke at the front door of the Hbf. Ah, Fastelovend kütt!

But yeah you'll find a way.

I don't even have to be in Köln to see Kotzflecken, and in my case working from home wouldn't help anyway, as the Kotzen is done by my sweet little (and ill) kitty. My Müde Mieze has been vomiting all over the place for a week now. Apparently I infected her when I was ill myself a couple weeks ago, according to my Tierärztin.

At least after a week of feeding her antibiotics tablets the worst seems to be over, but uggggghhh so much cleaning

Also I award myself one (1) Master of Stupidity for going ha ha, how funny my cat is sneezing oh and her ears are like super-hot. Sure is weird (me one week ago)

Cats vomit all the time, it's just what they do.

Gute Besserung to the sick cat tho, I had no idea they can catch illnesses from people.

Infections crossjumping species successfully, especially if the species are so far apart, is very, very rare. There are some minor diseases that happen to infect you out of accident as they were rather looking for your cat (or vice versa), finding her at some point and jumping over, but still, this is a terrible lottery and shouldn't happen when you're not around dozens of pets.

Still rare but way more likely is that you carry a disease but can't get sick but your pet can get infected of it (I assume this happened here if the vet says so).
However in general you don't have to worry that your cat starts to sneeze after you had a cold, it luckily doesn't work that way.

I mean, free speech, journalistische Freiheit and all, but how in the gently caress do you go along with publishing a Meinungs-Piece like that.
