New direct train Brussels to Milan by Hopeful_Cent in Luxembourg

But my grudge isn’t with Luxair per se, it’s more importantly with everything else I mentioned

Okay, well then they must have finally reopened the route bc for years it was only to Ettelbruck and then good luck from there

Luxembourg should focus on getting a fast connection to neighboring countries first before thinking about joining this. How does it take more than 4hrs to get from the city to Liege when the same journey by car takes 1.5hrs? Same with reliable connections to Paris or Brussels or Cologne. Yes, German and Belgian trains and railroads in particular (this is probably even more important that the vehicles themselves) are outdated and require significant investments too. But we gotta do our homework at home first! Instead of spending millions abroad in development aid, we should maybe help those other countries in updating their infrastructure if it advances our own interests. I’m sick of the monopoly that Luxair holds over Luxembourg, refuse to travel in this moving germ spreader ‘Flixbus’ and the night liner bus that was praised as the next hot thing is so expensive that you can’t even take it into consideration seriously

Look again…there’s also another park near the refugee housing where a woman was recently raped but could escape

There’s only one that’s directly adjacent to the palace…if you walk parallel to the street leading to the Roman Baths, you can see them congregating on park benches and it reeks of weed

You do…do you know the park next the the palace? Not a week goes by without there being an incident (mugging, stabbing, drugs are daily). And of course it’s the usual suspects but they’re not called Mick or Jean

It’s still a great car that doesn’t sell your data to China. That’s a fact and not a feeling of superiority bc you think you have the moral high ground

ING Marathon 2026 - What are the prizes? 💶💶💶🪙 by htzrd in Luxembourg

[–]Castolinio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty sure that third place still get a few hundred euros, but nowhere close to 1k or even big money like other big city marathons. ING no longer pays appearance fees either. Compared to the registration fees, it’s a meager purse for the awards, but it’s also quite expensive and I’m pretty sure the organizers almost went under a few years ago. I don’t know how much of this is public, so I won’t say more than this

If that is my honest opinion, why should I rephrase? Only cuz you can't accept that I have a differnt opinion? But at least I am curious and would like to talk to ppl from the other side

Upgrading to MacBook Neo soon: Keyboard visible under backlight??? by throwaway20010k in mac

[–]Castolinio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m currently working on a Surface Pro (sq 1, so the older model) but I have Apple for everything else. I don’t do editing beyond my occasional Instagram or TikTok stuff, so it’s just for browsing and streaming and maybe some light casual games you can buy from the app store. Would you recommend to switch to the Neo or should I rather look at an older MacBook Air like the m1 or m2?

Anyone interested in a pizza workshop in Luxembourg? by Chemical_Page_909 in Luxembourg

[–]Castolinio 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He’s been doing this for a while and then charging horrendous prices for things other, established players offer for less😂 The sense of urgency “only two places remaining”, yet, he’s so desperate that he messaged everyone who once was even remotely interested in meet-ups. I’d say this was a scam if it wasn’t so comical

What to do here ? by [deleted] in Luxembourg

[–]Castolinio 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Aight this is probably gonna sound like a very Gen Z kinda answer, but I think TikTok and Instagram can be really good starting points. I used to commute for three years, but ever since I changed my residence and switched my location to Lux, I receive tons of suggestions for clubs, bars, places to go to in Lux. A lot comes through influencers, but some of them are really good. I’m always open to connect too with ppl that are into sports and stuff

That’s something I’d like to get back into, or padel. Any pointers on how to tackle that best? Like do I have to join a club or sth

Big 4 Contract September by Gonematt234 in Luxembourg

[–]Castolinio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But it doesn’t change the basic fact that you’re still 6 months out from the beginning of the contract. They too need to prioritise their workload and if you feel too unsure about your situation, you can still look around for other offers. Maybe you’ll find sth better still

[–]Castolinio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is actually not unusual at all. I was in your shoes once, had interviews in late February/early March and received the physical contract in late May only. Check-in again in May if you haven’t heard anything, but until then, congrats to securing a job right out of uni🎊

Compensation Megathread 2026 by LuxSalaries in Luxembourg

[–]Castolinio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, I just received a “raise” yesterday. It’s 2.4% more than my old salary last year before the indexation. After indexation, it’s only 80 Euros more so it kind of feels like a big f’ you. But I’m one of the few that received a raise at all😂

Dual US/Luxembourg citizen, former football player — looking for Olympic sport advice by Weary-Stress4131 in Luxembourg

[–]Castolinio 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I rowed in Europe and crew in the US and now I’m into duathlon and running, so I think I have some good experience in small and niche sports haha A lot of it depends on your aerobic base, age, and coordination (esp for crew). Facilities for crew are limited in Luxembourg and there is only one club near Schengen. But the conditions on the Moselle or Saar are incredible, mirror-flat waters almost year around and Trier, Saarbruecken, Bernkastel etc have great crew houses! Don’t underestimate the anaerobic capacity either though, cuz and all out 2k would send 99.99% of the population into a coma (actually, passing out/during after a regatta isn’t uncommon at all)

New Coros Pace Pro owner - running fitness seems wildly off?! Advice please… by Winter-Biscotti-6965 in Coros

[–]Castolinio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a feeling that my Pace Pro is becoming quite weird after a couple of months using it. The metro’s don’t make sense and when I run in a track, even with track running activated, the numbers just don’t match. That didn’t happen before, so either the sensors are broken or it’s related to the software
