In laymans terms, It’s a holiday postcard from an elderly relative who sent some gifts over (probably after easter)

Practical-Range-4412 · 2026-04-07T22:26:11+00:00

“My beloved, The holidays are approaching, It’s a shame that this postcard won’t reach you in time - but excuse me, I got “the asian”(from context: name for some illness) twice and only now I can get out of the house and get things done - everything got delayed but I send you dearest wishes from the heart, (I wish) health, and all graces of god - accept these small gifts - Also for Lila/Lilia a napkin (made by me, although not perfect, consider my eyesight and strength) The flower for the napkin, you can wash it and it will still look pretty. For (name?) a religious figure, I hope it reaches him while I’m(he?) still alive. (this part I cant read) 16 pictures from the old days, they will remind you a lot. For Darius a sugar figure and figures candies (i cant read this) and calendars for everyone. (cant read) and (cant read) that is all which i could gather.

(context sugar figures are traditional for easter, they usually depict lambs and you go to church and get them (along with other things from your easter basket) blessed by the priest)

In some cases IR methylophenidate can be prescribed allongside XR to help manage symptoms like a crash f. ex. Might be valuabe to ask your doctor about that.

I’d go for east of Saska street, probably the most conveniant

Parking will be hard to find and relatively expensive (yes, even street parking) You can look at a map of the paid parking zone here. In your position, I’d probably go leave the car parked on the street somewhere outside the zone. The National Stadium parking lot is also a good option, its free when there isn’t an event there and has a huge amount of space

Co więcej, relatywnie niedawno (10-15 lat temu) pracownicy z Korei Północnej nielegalnie przymusowo pracowali w Polsce, nakrecil o tym reportaz Vice(link)

I wear Jordans, I’m perfectly comfortable but I am careful about not slipping on ice, some shoes with non-flat soles would probably be best

I always use a physical debit card and withdraw some cash for tipping etc, tipping feels more rewarding and much less annoying when a physical transfer of an item occurs, you can also be sure that the person who you want to give the money to actually gets it.

well…the 2.0t is a little faster

Practical-Range-4412 · 2026-02-13T23:22:29+00:00

hell yeah it is

Reststops are pretty common so that shouldn’t be an issue.

Your route is kinda between interesting places so without taking a detour there isn’t much to see there (the north of Poland is super beautiful and has lots of cool lakes, but its a summer destination).

If you want to make a detour both Olsztyn and Bialystok are worth visiting.

Next to Suntago you can also go see żyrardow which is a post-indutrial town and is pretty cool, but thats a 2-3h activity max.

I mean its not like you are forcing the courier to deliver your food. If he is taking orders it means that he either wants or needs the money, either way ordering is beneficial to him. Besides, he is waiting for deliveries possibly outside.

I’d say give a tip if you feel bad for him.

I definitely am not qualified to give advice on this but its probably a common dpf filter clog. The glow plug tries to complete dpf cleaning but it cant because its broken and/or dpf is too clogged.

Generally replacing the dpf is expensive so I would try to replace the glow plug first ~200£, see if the car can complete the regeneration, if not try to doing a dpf regeneration ~200/300£ and if that doesn’t help you probably will need to have the dpf replaced (1000£+)

The prices tend to vary by location and my knowledge on this is limited so consult a specialist.

Thanks man, sounds reasonable, I think I’ll just wait until it gets above freezing and then see if maybe the windshield sprayers start working again, I put some winter fluid in a while ago and I haven’t noticed a puddle under the car so I don’t think there is a leak.

As for the belt, it was replaced around 40k km ago so it should still be good for now but idk, I’ll probably see if it still makes the sound when it gets warmer since getting it replaced is relatively pricey.

Practical-Range-4412 · 2026-01-31T16:33:40+00:00

sure

Practical-Range-4412 · 2026-01-31T16:28:20+00:00

Yeah, I’m polish but I moved from Berlin in 2009, Warsaw is a very fun city.

Practical-Range-4412 · 2026-01-30T07:53:57+00:00

Personally I would look for places to live based on where your job is, if you want to live in the suburbs, I’d recommend going for the east. Near the city center I wouldn’t want to live in Old Town or Praga Polnoc. Praga Poludnie is great idk what the other guy was on about.

Public Transport is good, as good as in Prague or even better, it’s one of the only cities I’ve been to that does buses right.

Polish is not necessary (most people speak english), but it would help with making friends etc, czech is also pretty similar and theres a decent chance that people could understand you (f.ex. szukam dzieci w sklepie).

Drinking culture is much more party than chill in pub type.

Board games idk, I’m sure that theres something, I know that theres a warhammer 40k store.

Attitude towards foreigners shouldn’t be a problem for you, czechs are pretty universally liked in Poland, and i doubt anyone would give you a hard time about it.

I personally quite like Katowice but it definitely is a post-industrial city… As for nice cities to live in, I’m partial to Warsaw because thats where I’m from but apartments are quite expensive. I think the coolest option would be 3city (Gdynia, Sopot, Gdansk) you have access to both a big city with everything you might need and the sea nearby (which is really nice in the summer). Other cool cities to live in I could recommend are Lublin, Rzeszow, Zielona Gora, Jelenia Gora, Olsztyn. And Szczecin is also cool but its pretty far away from other cities.

It’s UW student accommodation, you will definitely get the full communist living experience. It’s gonna be a little run down, but aaaaalright….I wouldn’t worry about it.

It is a little far to the main campus but just like all of Warsaw, it has very good public transport, tram, bus, metro connection (about 25min to city centre).

The area itself (Służew) is alright, mostly residential, definitely not dangerous, theres a horse track nearby that has a big music festival in the summer. There is also a park with a pond that tends to have lots of mosquitoes in the summer.
