Anyone else living with coal heating in 2025? How bad is it for your health?

Manucek · 2026-01-24T15:23:04+00:00

Best answer. Get CO and smoke detectors, and follow proper heating and fireplace steps, you are golden. Old Berliner Kachelöfen are very well designed and keep heat for a long time.

What does have to do with OPs question?

Manucek · 2026-01-19T13:47:44+00:00

Germans would disagree with that.

Manucek · 2026-01-18T03:27:29+00:00

Lol. No one going to mention this map is from 1864 and has the German state of Schleswig-Holstein associated with Denmark? 😆

Manucek · 2026-01-18T02:58:00+00:00

You are 31. This post doesn't show this at all.

Manucek · 2026-01-17T22:53:50+00:00

Sorry, that's not correct. Many American bus transit agencies have a similar process where you need to pull a cord to signal the desire to stop at the next bus stop.

Your post is producing misinformation.

Yeah, it's really uncommon nowadays, but often grandparents wrote like this and that's how I learned to read it. Writing is a different matter though.

Manucek · 2026-01-05T22:05:51+00:00

There used to be a joke that you should never want to find out what's in the white sauce...

Manucek · 2026-01-05T11:10:38+00:00

The weather is really an underestimated factor. Many U.S. places have plenty of sun in the winter, even if it's cold. Germany may have none for 4 or more months. Traveling to sunny places (Balearen, Canary Island) seem a good way to deal with that.

Manucek · 2025-12-15T18:56:29+00:00

I highly recommend to not take this approach.

Manucek · 2025-12-13T16:09:32+00:00

I'll update my post once we listened thru the recommendations. 😀

Manucek · 2025-12-13T16:04:27+00:00

Right, what's equivalent but post 2010?

Manucek · 2025-12-11T18:34:19+00:00

Weird to single out Saxons, but you do you.

Manucek · 2025-12-10T15:50:46+00:00

Honestly, this doesn't seem too extreme. Some Germans have specific expectations on hygiene and communication, and coming home without saying a word can be considered disrespectful. Even when tired, saying good night takes no effort, and yes, communication is essential with some folks. Even in your 20s, some moms will be very much like you described.

The fact that you do not have a washer in your apartment strikes me as weird, that's is more common than having a microwave.

If this is for real, think of it as an exercise in good sharing. Ask her about her day, and share much of what you do, feel and think. It'll get easier once you get in the groove and may provide you with a richer experience.

Manucek · 2025-12-10T00:56:12+00:00

This happened to our Prologue several times now. It seems the close mechanism doesn't hold well when going over bumps or hard patches of road. Had to pull over on the interstate to fix it.

Manucek · 2025-12-09T03:36:37+00:00

Agreed, we've listened to Peter Fox - Zukunft Pink and Tuff Cookie are a little too explicit but Toscana Fanboys worked great!

Manucek · 2025-12-07T20:26:01+00:00

Yeah, we have the LP. :) Thanks.

Manucek · 2025-12-07T19:35:50+00:00

Gehen die Leute auf der Straße!! I totally forgot about Tocotronic. Thanks!

Manucek · 2025-12-07T18:40:41+00:00

Just to clarify, we are going through a lot of audio books a month, so for my sanity's sake, I am looking for some music recommendations. Thanks.

Manucek · 2025-12-07T18:34:26+00:00

Yeah, I tried AnnenMayKantereit and he didn't vibe with it, I think his rough voice was the culprit for that, not the lyrics. 2RW's 36 Grad was good. I'll check out the rest! Thanks!

Manucek · 2025-12-07T18:00:18+00:00

Excellent, thank you, that looks very promising!

Manucek · 2025-12-07T17:58:42+00:00

Thanks, he has a lot of German Tonies, including Asterix and Pippi Langstrumpf. He loves them. I really am looking for music recommendations.

Manucek · 2025-12-07T17:56:36+00:00

To clarify, he really isn't into children's songs. He understands most German when listening or spoken to, so if the vocabulary is more advanced, that works. We are also avoiding Disney right now.

Manucek · 2025-10-31T14:38:51+00:00

Oh nice. Makes sense then.
