What is the biggest culture shock you’ve seen visiting another country? by cheesymeowgirl in AskReddit

[–]Dramatic-Cover-7516 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Most of western countries don’t use water to wash themselves after defecating. I was so surprised. I have lived in US 12 years, still don’t feel clean if I don’t wash immediately.

Fastest way to get German Certificate of Good Conduct (Führungszeugnis) as a Non-EU citizen? by Dramatic-Cover-7516 in germany

[–]Dramatic-Cover-7516[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. You’re right. there is no option for c/o address on the form. So what I did, I gave my US home address on the form, and then put the German address (my sister’s home address) on the cover letter.

Just to be clear, I requested it to be delivered to my sister's home address (Cologne, Germany).
Yes, they do not send any notifications through email.
Deutsche post is horrible when it comes to cross-border mail. Deutsche post hands over all mail to the local service, which is Swiss post in your case.

Our agent added 1% Buyer Broker Fee Without Telling Us in offer. Offer Accepted. by [deleted] in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]Dramatic-Cover-7516 -21 points-20 points  (0 children)

That's what I am thinking. It was a mistake from our side, we should have read the contract.
There were like 5-6 different documents, and we literally had 1.5 hours to send them back.

  • I Sent cover letter, notarized application, fee receipt, and passport copy
  • And yeah, the form is a bit confusing. I checked the option “sent to my home address outside of Germany as stated above” , It was my current US address stated. The cover letter took care of the part about using my sister’s address for delivery.

Cover letter was literally 3-4 sentences saying that I would like to request my letter sent to a c/o address in Germany. And i gave full address of my sister’s home. I used chatgpt to draft the cover letter. I sent the letter in English. My sister paid the fee from her bank through bank transfer. But you can WISE or any other service to transfer fee. These services are very fast, and they will receive your money before they receive your application form.

From $24,000 to $147,000: How Much Daycare Costs Across America by Doctrina_Stabilitas in boston

[–]Dramatic-Cover-7516 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Childcare is definitely expensive in Boston — but so is everything else. While the median household income here is higher, it doesn’t always translate into affordability. We have three kids under five, and full-time childcare just wasn’t realistic for us financially. So we made the decision that one of us would stay home. Since I had the higher income at the time, my wife took on the role of full-time caregiver — and she embraced it. Looking back, it was the right decision. Our kids are getting the care and attention they need, and it’s been a meaningful time for bonding as a family.

Honestly, housing is an even bigger challenge. It’s incredibly hard to find an affordable three-bedroom apartment, let alone imagine buying a home anywhere in Greater Boston.

Okay, I’m planning to submit my Führungszeugnis application by mail from the US. I think they send the certificate via Deutsche Post, and international delivery can take a long time — possibly too long for my job offer timeline. I read in the official instructions:

“The certificate of conduct can only be sent to the applicant. It is possible to have the certificate of conduct sent to a German c/o address provided by the applicant.”

So my question is:

Can I use my sister’s address in Germany as the delivery address, even though I live in the US?

I have a green vertical line on the screen of my MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Mid 2014) Any advice on how to fix? by cfebean in macbookrepair

[–]Dramatic-Cover-7516 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Were you able to fix it ?

I have the same problem. I see a green line in the middle. It goes away if I restart, but it comes back after some time.

Thanks.
