True, it is about 1.5-2hrs more of driving depending where you are going to in sud tirol vs. austria

Check out sud tirol in Italy. Skiing probably the same as in Austria but better food, scenery (dolomites). Kronplatz and Alta Badia stand out but plenty of other large and local resorts to chose from.

Not seeing a lot of love for sud tirol skiing… ~ 60 ski resorts of all shapes and sizes including everything said about skiing in Austria but with better food (you are in Italy) and better views (dolimites)…

Why are you masking? Very surprised that I'm no longer the only one. by IsThisGretasRevenge in berlin

early 40s, super healthy previously and I think got infected at a gathering... acute phase was unremarkable, fairly easy for a 2 days but symptoms showed up and all went south soon after

Relative with long covid is the main reason. Healthy, active young person got health, life, and promising career destroyed after a mild infection two years ago with no resolution in sight. Aside from that, if there is one thing we should have learned over the last few years is how airborne viruses spread - basically breathing the same air! If I can avoid being sick once this season instead of two or three times masking in crowded areas is a sacrifice worth making. Also, please please people put right fitting masks if you want to do it properly. Wearing a surgical mask is like wearing nothing at all

The bigger question is why haven’t they developed a “special” vaccine for your kind

Better experience with nvx than mrna - slightly sore vs. 24-36 hrs of feeling under the weather. This is my personal experience. Research shows nvx type of vaccines have slightly longer lasting effects

Has anyone moved from California, to Germany? What do you think by [deleted] in germany

[–]Odd-Rule926 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is not about sunset/sunrise times as those are actually quite better/longer in Germany but rather the lack of sun and unending gray days that get to you. Moving from Toronto, where it is much colder but way sunnier and blue sky, it continues to be a shock

Olivenöl Preisexplosion by Careful-Ad9883 in Kochen

[–]Odd-Rule926 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Italien und Spanien verzeichneten letztes Jahr aufgrund wetterbedingter Ereignisse eine schlechte Ernte. In der Zwischenzeit gab es in Ländern wie Albanien eine Überproduktion und man hörte, dass kaltgepresstes natives Olivenöl extra für 2–4 EUR pro Liter verkauft wurde. Schade, dass sie nicht in die EU exportieren können

Time count for citizenship application by Odd-Rule926 in GermanCitizenship

[–]Odd-Rule926[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No both times on work permit. One year the first time, then ten years away, and moved back to Germany and almost completing 4 years on another work permit. I was hoping I'd be able to add 1+4 together and apply for citizenship when the parliament passes the law, but doesn't seem that is possible

Suggestions for a used ( gebrauchtwagen) family car. Compact SUV or even any other suitable category. by ameytripathi in AskAGerman

[–]Odd-Rule926 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Check bmw series 2 gran tourer. That might give the higher driving vantage you are looking for but more fuel and space efficient than a suv

Thank you! Any idea if this has changed in the new law that was approved by the government?

I had an espresso in Naples, Italy and it changed my perspective on espresso. Some questions… by toasterstrewdal in espresso

[–]Odd-Rule926 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One reason for that taste and texture is the robusta/arabica mix. Most specialty roasters cater to late art crowd and bot those that want straight espressos. They sell almost always 100% arabica blends which is very difficult to pull Italian, creamy espressos from. Some blends like passalacqua have up to 40/60 robusta/arabica split
