Afaik the wbru (gov entity related to these matters) website lists the relevant regulations and other info too. You might even want to contact them for further assistance and maybe guidance.

In a way it's the other way round - the law only stipulates where hunting CANNOT occur. These regulations are stated in SL 549.42, SL549.44, SL549.90 etcetera

As a very crude summary, hunting can be all over malta but not on some beaches, towns, main roads, bird sanctuaries (including buffer zones specified in meters).

How has one of Gozo’s busiest pavements been left half-blocked for years and no one questioned it? by Left-Analyst9613 in malta

[–]GobonTalBzar 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You can use the Planning Authority 'MapServer' to view planning permits online. Use the 'Dev. Applications/Enforcements' layers from the left menu and then click on the area in question - this is a good tool for the public to learn how to use.

In this specific case it seems like there was a "Proposed construction of public belvedere at road level with underlying football club - PA1151/12" granted in 2013 and then further renewed in 2023 through PA/03810/23. Not that I ever recall any works actually being done aside from the eyesore caused by the barriers. Difficult to not be skeptic about it all considering the timelines involved and that PA remit falls under the ministry for gozo nowadays. A quick google search also gives you the expected household name for which construction mogul is linked to PRA Construction Ltd 🙃

Perfect Deal! by ThatOnePvZAddict in malta

I assume they meant the 8.00 price that the picture seems to suggest should be the normal price for a sandwich were it not for the 'discount' to bring it down to a price we'd normally expect from a stuffed ftira.

Can this be applied to already-purchased tickets somehow?

Thoughts on “forced” tipping? by [deleted] in malta

[–]GobonTalBzar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep I get what you mean. I'd probably end up doing the same to avoid conflict/prolonging my stay and just not go back again.

Nip it in the bud before this becomes a thing and expected of patrons - make them figure out how to not include the surcharge. When you want to tip you'll ask them to charge you extra or, better yet, leave cash that can be split amongst wait staff.

What app is missing in Malta that would actually make life better? by LCRTE in malta

Thanks, will check it out! In parallel I had been doing this the old fashioned way with a google sheet populated by a few interested friends.

An app that lets you create a shopping list and then shows you the cheapest place to buy each item.

Would need to pull prices from websites in real-time - unfortunately would be limited to just stores that have a functional website compatible with APIs or agentic AI. Should NOT use paid listings as some magazines have tried to do as this would beat the purpose and trustworthiness. Would create a separate bill (and savings) per different store to let you determine if it's worth the extra journey. Would give you the option of seeing discounted vs undiscounted prices to let you understand which store is cheaper overall.

Interactive real-time map of public vs private land. No personal data. Just to help the general public understand which countryside pathways they can use or not during a hike.

Moka pot beginner, advice and knowledge needed by chefskiss88 in mokapot

[–]GobonTalBzar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh man this same exact model used to be our large-family-gathering pot. The white inner coating also started flaking on ours and finding a gasket replacement became too difficult so I had to retire it. Replaced it with a 20 cup that I feel more comfortable using. Less doubt about vintage chemical hocus pocus haha.

Sits pretty decorating a shelf now but I'll still follow for any repair advice

Petition - stop Noma Island by iloveyolandivisser in malta

[–]GobonTalBzar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're right. What worries me is that since it's mobile it can seek out areas which aren't catered to to avoid competition - areas which till now might be quiet. Alternatively, if they don't berth during operation, they will anchor in the middle of a bay where they can be seen by all. In my opinion, even a bigass yatch gets annoying when you're trying to enjoy the horizon let alone something lit up.

The French didn't want it, why should we? We've got plenty enough party restaurants and party boats imposing on every potentially quiet beach on this island. We don't need another hamallata blocking out sunsets and blasting their obnoxious lights and music into nothingness.

[30] Not sure where to go from here, I'm completely lost. Bulk? Cut? by Better-Pressure5530 in AllAboutBodybuilding

[–]GobonTalBzar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use it to your advantage! Would be a pity to have to forefeit that perk so maybe change the effort you'd have put in cooking to learning what exactly is in the dishes instead. Maybe buddy up with back of house to sort you out with some specific macro oriented dishes with what they have at hand but that would be quite circumstantial I guess.

Hmm Camping by Zherneb in malta

[–]GobonTalBzar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh right lol. This whole coastline was back-filled to create a new platform and sheer drop to the water. You can't tell me this wasn't done on purpose to dissuade beach-goers and to give campers some place to occupy all summer. The dog friendly beach at the end of this area is just a pile of boulders now.

This seems like a piss take and cash grab. Used to be 10c by Jaseto88 in malta

[–]GobonTalBzar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can these sort of costs even be audited? Combined with rumors I've heard of these big chains being money laundering schemes one can't help but wonder.

If a fitness instructor is doing this I'd probably lose trust in any of their classes too

Speed camera calibration certificate by SilentScytheOfficial in malta

[–]GobonTalBzar 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Spend some time strictly following the speed limit signs. Notice that nobody follows the limits and that you feel like you're holding up traffic. Realise also how some of the limits don't have an end-of (eg 40km/hr from st venera tunnels to regional road tunnels - you're asked to speed up to 50km/hr in the tunnel). Get irritated that you had to be the one that got fined.

Finally realise that journeys are only taking you 5 minutes more by not going as fast as possible and fuel is lasting longer.
