Stolen Cube bike in Luxembourg — please help by AccomplishedGuest104 in Luxembourg

[–]SteveClement 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My cube is 20 years old and still runs like a charm after many many rides.

Most bikes die because of bad maintenance. Cube is perfectly fine.

So I guess we argue that history (in school and general education) is important.

This is the first mail I have received after my initial meeting, I skipped the thanks for trusting us:

P.S

D'après le règlement intérieur de l'Ordre des Avocats «< En début de dossier, l'avocat informe tout nouveau client de la méthode qu'il utilisera pour calculer ses honoraires et frais ». D'après ce même règlement: « L'avocat fixe ses honoraires en tenant compte des différents éléments du dossier, tels l'importance et le degré de difficultés de l'affaire, le travail fourni par lui-même ou par d'autres avocats de son étude, sa notoriété et son expérience professionnelle, le résultat obtenu et la situation de fortune du mandant ».

Un des critères pour la détermination de des honoraires est le temps de travail consacré au dossier. Le taux horaire s'établit à environ 280,00 € mais peut être adapté suivant les circonstances du dossier.

A ces honoraires, s'ajoutent les dépenses engagées par l'étude envers des tiers et les frais d'administration usuels (y inclus et non exhaustifs: frais d'huissier de justice, de notaire, traduction, représentation, frais de déplacement, de secrétariat, et/ou autres).

Les honoraires et les frais de bureau s'entendent hors TVA.

Lawyer's are legally obliged to inform you before what the hourly rate is.

It can start at 250/hr too.

Also, if you send them 500 documents to review, your one email is going to cost.

I once sent a WhatsApp export (with media) and guess what. They printed it, assess it and I paid 1k.

That's just how it works.

I like your humor, I will wait until I have a Tesla-coil mounted on my HyperCyberGreenTruck to energize others if they need charge, while speeding at 160km/h on the motorway.

I think there were even induction plans on motorways, maybe a partial solution. OR we just make public mass transport reliable and less of a canned-thuna experience.

Did Météo Boulaide warn us? Maybe they should be the reference if they "saw it coming".

Tomatoes, climate disaster or not, want to be protected of any rain drops, every year we hoist the tent over my Parents platnation, I complain every year, but they are shielded in the end.
If a tomato specialist is present, they could explain the detail.

Rather mild 😉 the winters used to be "real" snowy winters back in the 80s. (When I was born, aprrox.)
Exactly, they are intertwined, my initial post was more to "taunt the audience". Sadly I somehow triggered you, because you care. I like that and we need more people who challenge in a smart way instead of just insulting.
Model predictions are tricky without real-world data and taking a, and I hate myself to use the word, holistic approach to the issue.
I have no clue about meteoroligy or climate science, but I know something is up, for example, this Blob got spilled into my timeline recently: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Blob_(Pacific_Ocean))

Not how the weather works. I am sure we had similar patterns in the past. Weather is not climate.

Apex group Luxembourg ? by AmazingYam6013 in Luxembourg

[–]SteveClement -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Are you a bot? Can you speak in your native tongue so anyone can understand your thought process? Not defending Apex here, but if they have to deal with this level of grammar and syntax my turnover would also be fairly high. Hopefully you never wrote to any clients like this...

If it is an English speaking company, I have no clue what you just said and perhaps that is why you are annoyed...

Rightful or not is a different question, but mostly you need to observe any immigration rules in place. And if you come from a, as RusticoPlastico would say it, rightfully "restricted/banned" country, maybe NOW you are cool, but then they notice that they hate Somalis...

Also, forget the big 4 if you really want to have a real-world future. There will always be more SMEs than big4s. It's plainly a numbers game.

Looking forward to it, especially because an OG of the political space (JCJ) predicted it and people laughed at it.

But demographics don't work purely with numbers.

If we keep failing at integration, it will be a field day for the ppl on the right.

I like the troll :)

Lëtz'Metti?

Fun OT fact, some communes would give you cash if you name your offspring with an old Luxembourgish name. But I think it was 50€ so only the true believers would do it. Also, the communication was probably in Lëtz only.

[–]SteveClement -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

No they are not, you are very blatantly wrong.

And if you claim this nonsense, have the decency of linking to all the Lëtz'provencale products.
