Seems like there are not enough aphids to eat if the not-Ohrenkneifer are roaming, OP should consider buying some to put on his chilis.

IMO try and make the food chain wrap around to Blattläuse again, hermetically seal a room and visit once every few weeks with a machete to harvest chilis.

I mean this was about chilis at some point, right?

I think it was about chilis originally. My cellar is too cold to just have them hanging out near the Lichthoffenster (i measuerd 18°C) so I cobbled some poo poo together. The plugs are controlled via IFTTT and do light cycle of 16h and fans running 5 minutes every hour. No wonder Meth Labs keep exploding. I feel like my plants are disappointingly tiny for all the effort I put in. Those at the front are from the batch I posted earlier in here, in February.

What the hell do you do to get a single 10 year visa?

Like, the standard is 2 years until you're here for 6 total, then you just get permanent residency.

Meanwhile my local Ausländerbehörde is going through a very public crisis and I've been waiting weeks for my request to process my permanent residency that I asked about last month.

Well *flexes and grins*, in my case a combination of having an unbefristete Arbeitsvertrag, have a Deutsche Woman plus children, been living 5+ years here permanently with a Deutsche Ausbildung/Weiterbildung and being UK citizen who forgot to get the Deutsche Einbürgerung done on time.

I did have to make the appointment a month ago and there was a short moment where the guy had no idea how to process my claim because I was "seine erste" and he wasn't sure if I should receive 5 or 10 years.

Hope yours gets through eventually though!

I think mine is also pretty ridiculous because they sent letters out claiming appointments could be made last month, despite closing completely for 4 weeks the very next day after sending them.

I am not sure who decided my right to 5-10 years, but I assume it is because I am a precious idiot child of GB, and they take pity on me :v:

I gravitated towards the Greens, eventually even joining the party itself.

The Linke is a party I grudgingly accept exists, but I've learned enough about DDR-history I can't bring myself to trust a party that was once the SED, a party leading the corrupt state apparatus ...

I've posted pictures on our Discord because this is getting silly: My cat Amber somehow was playing with a third mouse in my apartment when I came back.

So, either there is still some unknown tiny hole the little buggers moonwalk in I haven't found yet, or she somehow managed to collect three little mice in a row without harming them. Three totally fearless and healthy mice.

I even watched in amazement as Amber put a paw on the mouse, then her jaws around its neck, only to playfully fake-bite it like she bites my hand. And then she just lifted the paw and let the mouse go! Afterwards she immediately started running around and searching for the mouse again. It was both adorable and kind of scary. :stare:

I eventually collected the tiny thing and transported it to the nearby forest. I'm now preparing for mouse 4 in the coming months.

To recap, by "mysterious" (but probably cat-related) means three mice ended up in my apartment since I got Amber last year. Every time the same thing: The mouse gets at worst batted around like a tennis-ball, but when I later catch and untersuch it, the mouse is perfectly fine and healthy, without a single scratch. Then the mouse gets transferred to the nearest owl feeder forest.

Ok, as I said "fearless mice" I meant, fearless for mice. They were till pretty loving scared. Just not so scared they dropped dead (which is a real thing that can happen if they get too stressed).

I saw a youtube video showing a rat just bumrushing a street cat and the cat just freaking out about the rat trying to cuddle with it. This is definitely just my cat wanting a plushy new toy and being strangely nice (for a cat) about this.

And I just remembered, you like nuclear power, right? I recently saw a new government plan being revealed here in Germany, there were talks about not just closing our last nuclear power plant next year, but also extending the exit plan to include the nuclear fuel factories producing reactor fuel for our neighbors. Apparently it's hypocrisy to close our nuke plants but still supply the ones being build around us!

There's also a plan to establish a German-lead EU initiative to convince neighboring states to also exit nuclear power. Additionally, more effort is supposed to be put into expanding renewables.

So not only are we staying the course on exiting nuclear power, we are doubling down and are planning to start a propaganda-effort to triple down on exiting nuclear power so hard the rest of the EU will get dragged along by it! :v:

I have come to an agreement with the leader of the Chrysopidae.

The Pflanzs will be umtopfed, but only during the daytime, there shall be no disturbance of their nocturnal labor. If I adhere to this agreement, there will be no intrusion of my bodily cavities and orifices, I am assured of this.

You should have received permanent residency though if you have a German wife or kid. After three years, even.

Are you sure it's not the same mouse? Supposedly mice are pretty good at finding back to their old home. Maybe Amber and the mouse are friends and you are interrupting their play time :3: Also, if the mouse didn't bite the poo poo out of your fingers, it's your friend too. Speaking from experience.

I'd be seriously impressed! But the mouse also needs magical powers, considering all three mice had different sizes. And considering basically everything not a mouse wants to eat a mouse, traveling the 3+ km distance between forest and our house also needs some serious bad mojo. Maybe it is some kind of phase mouse, capable of moving through hyperspace in short jumps? :v:

I can't remember the first mouse exactly, but the third mouse was definitely smaller than the second. (Mice 1-2 maybe were identical, because the first mouse I just put into the garden.)
