How about a positive trip report:

Today I went to the local Stadtbibliothek with my goddaughter. For the first time in over 30 years.
I have never seen a public institution this well organized.


I still have a physical letter filed away from my local Stadtbibliothek, 20-some years ago, responding to my feedback and saying they'll check out this Metacritic website I've pointed out to them for future purchasing decisions of games/CDs.

It's really nice to see libraries stay up to date and creating good spaces for people to engage with, enjoy, and learn from, media.

I've been cheating with grow lamps and custom fertilizer, but if you sow some seeds now, your Setzlinge will probably reach Umtopf-maturity by late March when the weather turns pretty enough to put the plants outside on occasion, so yes, you should absolutely start ASAP

They did a rebranding back in September where they changed their logo to the schwarz-rot-gold reception bars on a türkis Background (Brandmauer gehen AfD), so I'm assuming the YT logos were something in the same vein, because purple holds the kids ab, idk

I have a question about Karneval. On Monday schools are closed, so I am with the kids (7 and 5). I was thinking of taking them to the Mainz Karnevalumzug on Monday in the morning. Is this a good or bad idea? Is the Umzug something cool for kids, or just old-fashioned and boring? Do they throw sweets in the big Umzug?

Sowing from seeds in a south facing window ought to work ok? I'm moving at the start of April and will have an actual garden to put the plants out into. Any suggestions for starter chilis that are hard to kill? I like a decent amount of spice, either in a Mexican or south Asian direction, mostly.

Also the housing market around Munich is a knife fight in a phone booth. My wife went to look at place that had a literal 5 cm hole in the brickwork to the outdoors under one of the windows and serious mold in the cellar. The realtor said they would fix the hole before anyone moved in, but wanted 2.800€ cold. loving parasites. Fortunately didn't end up quite that bad off, but holy poo poo.

Chilis are, in general, very hard to kill and happy with the bare minimums, the only difference that minmaxing-treatment gives you is earlier first harvest and higher yield pretty much, but they're easy as poo poo to grow.
Capsicum annuum sorts (like Cayenne, Serrano) are considered the "easiest" to grow because of how fast they germinate and reach flowering/fruiting stage, but my go to sorts are usually Capsicum chinensis sorts like Habanero-hybrids, scotch bonnets, bhut jolokia, scorpion-hybrids, reaper, etc. They usually take longer to fully ripen out fruits and almost all of the sorts I've grown so far are of the more dickwandig-type.

My absolute money-chili every season is, however, the lemon drop, which I'd absolutely recommend. Grows fast, easy to maintain, yields stupid amounts, medium heat, real pretty to look at.

If you're looking for three recommendations, go with Cayenne, Lemon Drop and Scotch Bonnet. That gets you a good coverage across the heat spectrum from mild to feisty, three bright colors, and real purdy chilis to look at.

I've moved three times since I got to Munich and every iteration was crazier than the previous one, to the point where I had a massive loving Bewerbungsmappe ready to go at a moments notice by the last time. The conditions have turned absolutely ridiculous even by Munich standards.
I'm extremely lucky with a landlord that gives zero fucks about adjusting the Miete to the STANDARDS DES FREIEN MARKTES, and plan to stay here until I move to a place with a garden, where I plan to go absolutely nuts with my plants.
Talked about the same example yesterday, but a neighbor in my building two stories above me in exactly the same apartment as me pays 55% more than I do...for the exact same loving apartment. But hey, they moved in only half a year ago, so that must mean the invisible hand of the free market had to punish them, right?

Madness.

We ended up with 140 for 2200€ cold, but there are no holes in the walls. Not in the Innenstadt obviously.

I don't know if it's a requirement, but the rent for the next 5 years is listed in the Mietvertrag. Next 3 years are flat and then increases by 35€ for the two years after that.

God, the FDP is so dumb.

Last week at the local anti-AFD/pro-Democracy protest the FDP speaker pointed out that we need Ausländer because of the Wirtschaft and Wohlstand. Everyone else was talking about human rights, friends, neighbors, community, etc.

For some reason very few clapped for the FDP guy.
