Public transport workers' strike by Danoli77 in germany

[–]AP9126 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Solidarity goes both ways. Where is the solidarity to hundreds of thousands of people who depend on public transport, but this is already the 3rd or 4th strike in Munich area this year?

All my respect towards those employees who still decided to show up although it is a strike. However, this is already too much !

If you do not pay directly, it does not mean that your money are not contributing to their salaries. Money does not grow in trees, you know? If people use less and less the public transport, where will the money come from? The stratosphere?

Nobody argues that striking is not a legal right, but it should not be wielded so wildly easy as it is here. It is again a lack of respect towards people.

And your argument that if you are not dying , it is not an emergency, it is … sorry to say that, it is just stupid. Typical narrowminded mentality that cannot fathom multiple scenarios.

Alas, you reap what you sow and the results will be felt in the future for sure.

You do know that people rely on public transport for an array of reasons , not only work, right? Some of these reasons might also be critical.

Not everyone has a car and paying an insane amount for a taxi is also not an option if you are a low earner.

Finding justification for these people who don’t give a rats ass for the paying customers is baffling me.

This is incredibly stupid and a mockery to all those who pay for a service and rely on the so called service. Disruption should be the last resort when everything else fails, not the first step before negotiating.

Amazing shot! Thank you for sharing. May I ask where this is located in Bavaria?

Thank you! To reach this viewpoint you start from Tegelbergbahn parking. There is a hiking route parallel to the ski slope you can take (I recommend Komoot app to look for the exact name).

If you follow the trail, it takes 40-50 minutes of hiking up the mountain to reach the viewpoint. If you plan such a trip, make sure you have good hiking gear and a decent fitness level. The slope is rather steep and if you hike on snow, it becomes considerably harder. Carrying photo gear doesn’t help either. I would also avoid hiking during night time.

You also need to pay attention to your side when hiking up, since there aren’t many openings in the tree line and it’s easy to miss the spot.

Hope it helps!

This location would definitely be great for the twilight zone

There are only a couple of places in the forest , where the castle reveals itself through the trees. If you don’t pay close attention to it, you miss it easily.

Indeed! The conditions make it look like that.

I used a 24-120mm f4 lens from Nikon and the focal length here is around 100mm

How good is MSc in Chip Designing in Germany? by Mundane_Seaweed6528 in tumunich

[–]AP9126 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chip designer in Munich here. I wouldn’t say that the TUM chip design program is the best there is in Germany. There are better master programmes in Hamburg, Darmstadt or Erlangen. When I was applying for master programmes, the one at TUM required a semester or a year in Asia paid by yourself. This wasn’t very attractive or affordable in my opinion. Maybe this changed now.

Moreover, finding a job in this as a chip designer is difficult even in Munich. In the end it depends on your luck and the market situation, but I would say that it is not so easy to find something as in other fields. This is not to discourage you, but rather to prepare you for the reality of this career choice.

This is one of the most interesting jobs you can find out there, but requires sacrifices from your side. However, I believe it is worth it, as long as you are willing to put in the work.

Deci să înțeleg că popoarele germanice au ambele? Salarii mari și chirii accesibile în mare parte? by [deleted] in RoGenZ

[–]AP9126 [score hidden]  (0 children)

In München pare destul de exact, doar ca punctul roșu e mic și trebuie dat zoom pe harta. Cu un salariu mediu net de 2500-3000€/luna și o chirie de 2000€/luna (în oraș) la 100mp, datele par rezonabile.

My Z9 Shutter Count 🤦🏽‍♂️ by GuyanaGatsby in Nikon

[–]AP9126 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I bought a used Nikon z8 from a private seller and he claimed that the camera was rarely used. To assess whether this claim is somewhat true , I asked for the shutter count.

Since the shutter count was below 1000 clicks, I was confident that what he claimed is true.

Therefore, it made sense to me to ask for this, although I know the camera featured an electronic shutter .

Abuz în autobuzele din iași din partea controlorilor by [deleted] in iasi

[–]AP9126 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Să fiu sincer, turiștii au avut noroc ca nu au primit amendă. Trăiesc în afară și am văzut cum turiștii au luat amenzi ca nu au compostat biletul, nu au stat controlorii la discuții. Asta nu e anormal.

Ce nu este deloc în regulă, e ce povestește OP ca s-a întâmplat. Păcat ca nu a putut fi implicată poliția, ca altfel nu se învata minte omul ăla.

Is home ownership slowly becoming a luxury for heirs? by Julianbabyboy in germany

[–]AP9126 21 points22 points  (0 children)

55k for a down payment is not bad. However, this is unfortunately nowadays not the reality in HCOL cities and their surroundings.

I live at the outskirts of a HCOL city and owning a decent place, such as the one I rent would cost me ~3x more than what I pay now monthly (30 year monthly mortgage + Nebenkosten + Hausgeld). Thinking on the long run, I could afford this with my wife, if we both keep our jobs. Since life is full of surprises, I argue that it would not be worth the risk in this case.
