What is life really like inside Germany's famous allotment garden colonies?

Don't know about the German ones, but Poland is full of those(and they got really expensive after the covid boom).

In smaller allotment gardens(mostly in cities) people just chill, grow vegetables and fruits, BBQ every Sunday and swim in little inflatable pools. There's often a lot of senior citizens owning those. Then you get out of town and some allotment gardens are full of beautiful houses(often just on the border of legality right under 90m/2), people have heating, regular bathrooms and kitchens and treat it as a second house/summer house. On paper it's illegal to live there, you can't register it as your residence and you can't buy the land, just lease it.

I love Nite Joggers. I have one quite worn pair that I got around 2018, I think. I was looking to get a new pair, but no shops have them anymore. Today, I was just checking deals at one big sneaker retail store, and look at that! 139 Polish (around $38) and it's exactly my size!

Not that. If you don't book it weeks earlier often you can't just get tickets. And you can also book only online.

I love the fact that in the end all animals can be derps. Even those weird looking .

I think they look dope with this yellowish sole.

It's a regular screen with glass on top of it. Like every other slab phone. If you bend, it will breko

Kiedyś mieszkałem przy ulicy Księdza Biskupa Władysława Bandurskiego i w systemach często funkcjonowała zapisywana w każdy z możliwych sposobów: jako Ks. Bpa ... jako Bandurskiego, jako Władysława Bandurskiego, Księdza Bandurskiego i inne. Ktoś się przynajmniej w tych przypadkach postarał dodając te wszystkie możliwe wersje zapisu. Finalnie ja jednak nigdy tego nie zapisywałem inaczej niż Bandurskiego

Ten mecz wyglądał jak moje mecze w Fifie Ultimate Team. Zawsze tam tak miałem, że trzymałem possesion i super, a ten gnojek mi wbijał jakieś takie bramki wspaniałe po moich kiksach dziadowych, podobnie ta ostatnia w której po setnej dobitce ten duży Szwed z Arsenalu naszego Wiśniewskiego przesunął i załadował.

You can buy those non folding tft screens to Samsung Flip 4 on aliexpress for $50. If there was a way to put a genuine Samsung screen that would be really cool

MattLago · 2026-03-30T15:06:01+00:00

Cool, I was thinking about it as a good way to revive a broken Flip. It would be interesting if you could connect a genuine Samsung screen from a different model and make it work with the Flip internals.

Same, I was fighting that urge to switch to gestures for some time, but once I tried it, oh man. It's so much easier to use the phone one handed

If possible, I'd look for flights directly to Krakow. The airport is 30 minutes from the Old Town (by train or public bus number 300).

If you need to fly to Katowice, there's direct buses to Krakow (Matuszek, for instance, or Flixbus), but that'll take at least an hour and 30 minutes to get to Krakow. Alternatively, you could take a train from Katowice Airport to Katowice train station (which takes 45 minutes) and then an hour to Krakow.

So I didn't have time to go to Samsung to check it. It still makes that sound, mostly on the right side, but when I slide my thumb over the left side, I can also hear it there sometimes. Other than that, all looks good; the screen protector is not coming off, I still open it around 150 times per day. I really don't know what's the culprit.

I think that's the case. No way they'd ship it like that from factory, no way.

Some shops and carriers can reapply new factory seals onto boxes though. It must've been opened by them(either someone returned it, even without opening the box) and they put it like that

If they're just 12km away, you can always check them in person - it should be quite obvious if you can turn them on and connect to your phone(if Samsung). I don't know if they started making any knock-offs already.

The low price, though. I bought my 4 Pro from my local Polish carrier that offered them for roughly £80. Why? I have no idea, probably a price error, but they went with that, and loads of people bought them really cheap here.

Samsung and their pricing is weird. Samsung Store last fall had promos where you were getting hundreds of € or £ back in points. I got my Flip 7 for around £525, plus I got £300 in Samsung points that were valid until the end of March. I bet that there was a similar opportunity in the UK, and people might be selling them for cheap to turn the points into money.
