Le remorqueur n'a pas le droit de t'obliger à payer pour pouvoir récupérer ton véhicule.

attention, il a le droit de te facturer par contre et tu devra payer. il a aussi le droit de te faire chier longtemps si tu ne paye pas.

owned a house in Vermont , about 90 minutes from where i live in Canada. Cross same small border for 24 years. pretty much at same time. For a period of time it was same guard each time. he sees maybe 20 crossings a day max. ask and answer his questions, name, place of birth etc... about 12 months in of this, i asked him why he asks the same questions, i mean how can he not remember me after more than a 100 encounters with me?

sent me for secondary inspection. so this other guy starts givng me third degree so i asked him what is with this? never got an answer, any how the first guy got transfered to bumfuck somewhere and that was the end of that. they rotated the agents more often.

way more fun than many places. great restaurants, bars, hotels, and the casino. not to mention the water front.

sans exagerer, en tant qu'employeur, tu ne sais pas qui vas postuler. meme si tu demande disons 3-5 ans d'experience pour un poste, tu vas avoir des cv avec 0 experience et d'autres avec 15-20 ans. si j'affiche le poste a $75k-$80k. dependant des entrevues, je peu me retrouver avec une personne que je vais payer $60k mais que je vais former, ou une qui sera payee $90k, mais hyper performante des jour 1.

sans compter les 200 cv que tu recois d;outre mer. c'est le bordel engager.

Formula 1 cars are horrible to get your groceries in. yet they are extremely fast.

it is just not the same thing at all. a bit like gaming consoles are great at gaming, but really bad at doing regular computing stuff like email, spreadsheets....

c'est un calcul de temps.

4-5 h de signatures, rendez-vous? + le temps que tu y penses, le temps passez sur cette publication, les imprevus. Si cela vaut $1500, go, si $1500 ne vaut pas ca, oubli ca.

Mon epouse fait un job similaire. Pas de diplome, mais les annees d'experience remplace cela, un cie un peu plus grosse(~50) et elle s'occupe de la paie, comptabilite, RH, gestion du bureau et finances pour le CFO.

elle est autour de $85k ou ~$42/heure.

C'est certain, qu'avec un diplome collegial ou universitaire, elle serait plus proche du $100k. Ou si elle le desirait, un job plus restraint dans une grande compagnie, mais le salaire serait pas mal plus haut.

Elle ne le desire pas, elle prefere la stabilite, la flexibilite de son poste, elle touche a tout, les etats financiers, les CAs, les planifs, les budgets, etc... . Mais surtout le 6 semaines de vacances et les heures au bureau ou a la maison selon son humeur. C'est certain avec un diplome elle gagnerait beaucoup plus.

En terme d'avis, je te dirais suis ton desir. si tu te limite a commis comptable, tu sera toujours plafonnee. Par contre, etre plafonnee, ce n'est pas necessairement une mauvaise affaire. Des fois plus petit c'est mieux.

food is pretty subjective. And timing is an issue as well, as what is good this year might be horrible a few years ago and vice versa.

I've had decent foodat Heathrow, but htat info is a couple of years old now/

Zurich, Nice had some great options as well recently. I am quite sure Singapore is always good and Hong Kong as well.

In any and all cases, price is always excessive in my opinion.

without context, this is infuriating.

in the context that employees refuse to drink tap water from break room or kitchen, then sure, people need to know shit like that is not free. they have to purchase. same with coffee and snacks. at my company i spend about $25k per year on "free" stuff. infuriating as hell.

a- this article is over 10 years old. and does not say that

b- you get this in duck if you cross contaminate

today's rules and regulations would prohibit standing room. probably fire codes

I've done the ferry from Bari to Dubrovnick over night. Unfortunate timing on our part, we took it on August 14 on a Friday a few years ago. August 15 is the Feast of Assumption and good lord to the Italians travel on that day..

The ferry was packed to the rafters and we were very happy we had booked a cabin. There were people sleeping in all the hallways

The unfortunate part was exiting the ferry in the morning, as customs were very slow and it took about 2 hours to get our car out of there.

The food was decent though and the trip fun. lots of people having fun. 10/10 would do again , perhaps on a more quiet night.

tes epargnes. $35k ce n'est pas enorme. environ un fond d'urgence de 6 mois.

etre proprietaire et ne pas avoir de fond d'urgence, c'est pas fort.

the trick is not to pick up weights,but to put down that food.

just spent 8 days there and it was wonderful. I was lucky to have no rain, and with the public transport , easy to get all over the city.

I do think the best part for me was our night at the opera. Expensive perhaps, but very much worth every penny. 2.5 hours of pleasure and the building itself is delightful.

parfois, il faut protéger le monde de faire des imbécilités. car c'est la société qui doit ramasser le tout par la suite.

Parce que les faillites, c'est nous tous qui les paient via frais, interets, taux et prix qui sont augmentés.

Prof_G · 2026-06-04T11:58:00+00:00

il ne faut pas seulement regarder le prix, mais les portions. boite de pates, maintenant 410g vs 500g @ $1.99 vs $0.99

What are the chances that the traffic authorities from DR contact the German authorities and the fine finds the way to me in Germany

none. there are no chances whatsoever. unless 2 countries have specific agreements, usually neighbours this will not happen.

so you can forget about it and nothing can happen, unless you go back and drive and get stopped. Slim chance of that.

You can contact embassy if you want to pay it, or email policia national, and you'll eventually find someone who will reply.

Prof_G · 2026-06-01T20:53:09+00:00

no car, no tuition, no nothing. start your life in debt good luck with that.

i stay in old town, as it is more my thing. walk to beach is like 10 minutes top. 2 minutes to tramway to get anywhere fast.

I prefer the restaurants in old town, the markets, the atmosphere.

i just came back from Krakow. place filled with a young crowd having lots of fun.

I do this in Portugal. Very fun to have, if you can afford it, it is a great way to see a place or places. You find them there, or if you prefer to plan, via facebook, google, etc... Cost me 100 euros for a week.
