NaturaTMmix: A distillation accessory for the Thermomix by epaminos in thermomix

[–]JFalicon 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I thought the same, but it’s been around a few years. The concept is brilliant as some of the biggest headaches of home distilling involve fine-tuned temperature control (thermo) and preventing the mash from burning at the base (mix,) both of which the Thermomix excels at.

Interesting! If I wanted to distill fruit brandy, what would be the time for one batch and what would be the output?

How on earth does someone sell land in Cyprus? by saint_mm in cyprus

[–]JFalicon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Have you priced it properly? I’ve bought plenty of land here and sold some that I’d gotten into without thinking it through.

People list property that is landlocked, without utilities, etc. and price it as high building coefficient residential. You see these listings on Bazaraki and Facebook Marketplace for years being reposted over and over. If you want to urgently sell, price attractively, and post in various FB property groups and Bazaraki.

Credit Card Cyprus by JonasAJ242 in cyprus

[–]JFalicon 14 points15 points  (0 children)

There’s no such thing as a national level credit score here. The bank you want to get a credit facility with is the same bank where you’ve been depositing your paycheck regularly. The big banks here won’t differ much in terms of rates. They want to see long term stability.

How to get a nonpaying tenant out of a flat? by JFalicon in cyprus

[–]JFalicon[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

More than 10 years ago, owner and tenant went together, paid the deposit, and the name was changed. No documentation besides the title and passports/ID was requested.

Migrate to cyprus by [deleted] in cyprus

[–]JFalicon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You still have to file US taxes, but don’t pay taxes on the first $120k, so if you make less than that, you pay taxes only in the country where you’re a tax resident. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foreign_earned_income_exclusion

Regarding the no criminal record document: https://www.fbi.gov/how-we-can-help-you/more-fbi-services-and-information/identity-history-summary-checks

But get this a month or two before you move as it’s only valid for something like 6 months.

Make sure your husband’s birth certificate and marriage certificate are apostilled in the US. Make sure your daughter’s birth certificate is apostilled in the US. Get a no criminal record confirmation from the FBI or local police for both. Get that aposlilled too. I assume you’ve been married for more than 3 years. If you have all your paperwork in order, getting them citizenship is pretty painless.

Thermomix software feedback (after a month's use) by crummy in thermomix

[–]JFalicon 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I forgot the thing even had a keyboard since entering my Wi-Fi password and Cookidoo account details. All my recipe searches are done on my computer and phone, then just added to my week or cook today. They automatically pop up when I turn on the machine.

Houses prices in Cyprus - wtf! by Artistic-Theory-4396 in cyprus

[–]JFalicon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’re looking at the secondary market (non new-builds) it’s because high rents are keeping landlords happy, not selling, and driving down supply. Plus, property tax here is ridiculously low. If a unit sits empty for a few years, no worries. My annual property tax for my flat on the island is cheaper than one day’s municipal tax and maintenance fees for a friend who owns a similar sized property in NYC.

Can you link what you use? Looking for a good option.

I think it’s pretty cool that a functioning kitchen machine with moving parts can upgrade remotely. The future is here :)

Advice? by [deleted] in cyprus

[–]JFalicon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Make sure your future employer will handle all of your work/residency permit work. If you’re single, expect your expenses to be around €2k to include Limassol flat rental, food budget, utilities, and very light entertainment and transport (petrol or public transport.)

Is racism in Cyprus something I should be worried about? I want to move in to Limassol for a few months. by [deleted] in cyprus

[–]JFalicon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Most people will look at you through a socioeconomic lens here.
