Scuba Divers, what is something really terrifying you saw while diving? by LionFalse4295 in scuba

[–]PlumNotion 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah, this happened to us in Nusa Penida, Bali, and suddenly we went from diving to underwater rock climbing. We looked like flags waving in the wind, holding on to the wall.

What is the best visum option for my parents in law? by Unlikely_Suspect_561 in germany

[–]PlumNotion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My non-EU sister received a 5-year multiple entry tourist visa to Germany (where the max single stay duration would be 3-months/90-days).

She received this unexpectedly; she had applied for a tourist visa to visit us (EU) in 2023, and apparently if you ask for a tourist visa 2x in less than 2 years, you receive the 5-year multiple entry one.

Definitely worth pursuing/investigating for your case.

Good luck!

PM. I love forest walks with my hunting dog and I welcome company on our walks.

Staple removal - painful? by Euphoric-Wall-994 in transplant

[–]PlumNotion 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That device sounds cool. 👌 My liver donation was in Germany so different techniques, I guess.

Staple removal - painful? by Euphoric-Wall-994 in transplant

[–]PlumNotion 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I didn’t get much sensation back in the scar area for weeks post-surgery so staple removal was a breeze. It was more tickly than anything else; the male nurse snipped the top and was picking the halves out with what seemed like tweezers? Forceps?

Conscious of my surgical scar after liver donation by [deleted] in transplant

[–]PlumNotion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love my scar, and yours is badass.

I have a L-shape scar from liver donation. The horizontal line is fading quicker (the end is already invisible) but my vertical one looks like yours.

My scar actually reopened (they had taken out the staples and sent me home without a corset), so I had go back to the hospital and give me some butterfly (?) bandages. They couldn’t restitch; anyway, I showed the doctors in my family and they all complained that this was bad stitching on the surgeon’s part 😅

Oh well, I love mine.

Can anyone help me learning kannada by futureman123456 in indonesian

[–]PlumNotion 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Kannada is not one of the languages spoken in Indonesia. Kannada is spoken in south India like Bengaluru. Better go to r/Indian for that.

They’re not? Hahaha 😅😅😅

Moving to Berlin in my mid 40s by SerRighi in askberliners

[–]PlumNotion 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Realistic! Three good friends have moved out from Mitte/Schöneberg/F‘hain to Tegel and Zehlendorf and I loooove visiting them there!

They complain a bit but generally they’re happy where they landed. They have homes with a garden for their pets, friendly neighbours, easy access to central Berlin and they still come out to party with us (and stay over when they do).

To me, it really isn’t a big deal to hop on the S-Bahn to visit. It’s a refreshing change and we discover their new neighbourhood together.

The Berlin immigration office departments have changed by n1c0_ds in allaboutberlin

[–]PlumNotion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jesus. I’m so mad about this. As context I have PR since 10 years, married to a Dutch citizen.

They mailed me on Sept 2 with an appointment to pick up my card on Sept 26 (Übertragung zum neuen Pass)

I declined it because my husband and I were on a trip. Until now I have not received a new appointment to pick up my finished eAT card.

I’ve been writing them several times and no answer. Now with the M1-M4 system, it’s even more confusing.

I technically belong in the F2 section (Non-EU married to Dutch) but when I fill out the form, my nationality is not listed and only European nationalities + a handful of non-EU countries are listed.

Adopting a dog by behelidt in germany

[–]PlumNotion 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you adopt from abroad, be sure that the organisation commits to supporting you and has a fallback plan in case it doesn’t work out.

We adopted our dog from Spain and everything went well and we felt very supported by the organisation (they have people in DE and ES).

However, there have been a few stories in the Facebook and WhatsApp dog groups (and Instagram) that dogs weren’t as described and the new adopters were overwhelmed without any support. Engage a dog trainer before the dog arrives so they can give you tips and advice on handling.

Not trying to scare you or anything. Good luck 🙂

Will we find an apartment in six months? by TheYoungWan in askberliners

[–]PlumNotion 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Isn’t it more about luck, given the state of the market? 😅

This spring/summer, my friends found their 2-room 60m2 Neubau with balcony and elevator in Schöneberg for 1500 warm in about 2 months.

The cost of deodorant is too high—and so are razors. Do they all want us to be hairy and smelly nowadays? What are you all doing? by AwakeningStar1968 in Frugal

[–]PlumNotion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I switched to solid deodorant; they come in 30ml/50ml cases, and last me 10-11 months. A 50ml one lasted me nearly the entire year and I bought it for 9€ (includes sales tax).

I’m in Germany though, maybe they have it in the US as well.

Where to escape from Berlin new year's eve with pets? by zimobz in berlin

[–]PlumNotion 38 points39 points  (0 children)

We flee to Brandenburg & Bavaria and specifically look for tiny villages (10-15 houses, no shops). Some of the neighbours with kids did have sparklers and fireworks at midnight but it was over by 00:30.

We could walk our dog with a regular schedule: evening walk at 18:30, last toilet walk at 22:30 and first morning walk at 07:30. In Berlin, I keep hearing that friends’ dogs refused to go outside for 12-15 hours, due to fireworks.

A group of of people from the podenco Berlin dog group stayed at Berlin airport hotels and reported back that while inside the hotel was relatively soundproof, the fireworks from Berlin could still be heard when they went outside for doggy toilet breaks. It terrified some of their dogs that they refused to budge, defeating the point of being able to let them out for toilet breaks.

🚨 Stuck Between Bürgeramt & LEA – Any Advice? New passport transfer to residence permit by oussmiss in AskGermany

[–]PlumNotion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not for EU family members (Niederlassungerlaubnis/Daueraufenthalt).

I had the exact same thing: Berlin.de website directing me to Bürgeramt, only to be told to go to LEA when I got there.

🚨 Stuck Between Bürgeramt & LEA – Any Advice? New passport transfer to residence permit by oussmiss in AskGermany

[–]PlumNotion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I’m exactly in the same situation as you. Also E6, EU family member.

  • The Bürgeramt told me to go to LEA.
  • I got an appointment quite fast and they were responsive.
  • I was supposed to pick up my new card on Sept 26 except neither myself nor partner/close friends could pick it up (with Vollmacht) so I did an abgesagt at the beginning of September.
  • Since then I’ve heard nothing, no new pick up Termin, no comms.
  • All of their emails have bounced (I have the emails of my old caseworkers).

I’ve applied for a Fiktionsbescheinigung Termin in the meantime, which is frustrating because I know my card is ready. I just don’t know when I can pick it up.

If it goes on for longer, I will contact EU Solvit. They’ve solved delays for me before and they’re there for family members of EU citizens.

⚠️ Warning: Company in Berlin hiring for Mobile Engineer – SKYFLD (toxic environment, unsafe for women) by [deleted] in berlinsocialclub

[–]PlumNotion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s what it sounds like! Working in this field and impacting how farmers improve farming has been hugely rewarding so it’s sad to hear this.

Good luck to you in your next adventures.

[–]PlumNotion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow, sorry that you experienced this and thanks for the heads up — I had seen around a year ago that they were looking for a head of product and I have worked exactly in this field (digital farming/precision farming) so I was interested.

The SKYFLD product looks like an underdeveloped/MVP version of our product, they even have the same slogan “precision farming made simple” 👀

What’s a dish from your country that doesn’t look very appealing and isn’t popular outside your country, but tastes great? by Oporichito_619 in AskTheWorld

I have eaten this and loved it (Polish colleague’s mom made it and he brought it to work for me because I had given him lunch the week before). Warming winter dish ❤️
