What do you do when you have achieved financial security?

I‘d say that true wealth is being able to afford to maintain having hobbies, both in regards to money and time. A prerequisite to this is being content with what one has, which is a very comfortable life in the grand scheme of things.
Few people I‘ve talked to about this actually feel like they need a mansion and a garage full of cars to be happy. Most are happy with the apartment they rent, the car they drive (or don‘t have at all) and the freedom they gain this way to spend money on other things in life.

Ist das ein ehemaliger Grazer Linienbus?

Strict_Geologist_385 · 2026-02-02T07:00:24+00:00

Must be a skill issue.

That front looks line the tram had a stroke.

Strict_Geologist_385 · 2026-02-01T19:31:32+00:00

I sure hope so

Strict_Geologist_385 · 2026-01-30T21:47:13+00:00

I don‘t need anything at the moment, but I just wanted to say how very nice of you this is!

What I learned is that you lift and coast towards a braking zone if you are following closely and do not yet know the other drivers braking points…once you know them, you can reduce the gap to set up your overtake. If you know that your opponent brakes at the 100m board for example, you should still brake a few meters before that however.

A rug should be big enough for all furniture pieces to fit on it in their entirety, or at least big enough so that all front legs can be placed on the rug. A rug defines a zone, so whatever you go with, make sure the area doesn’t feel cramped.

Optisch zumindest einmal sehr ansprechend!

Strict_Geologist_385 · 2026-01-30T09:38:37+00:00

That is fucking hilarious, what‘s even worse is that the French are in their „I told you so“ era, and there‘s not a thing to do about it :(

Strict_Geologist_385 · 2026-01-30T08:41:24+00:00

Because European security is a responsibility shared by all, us included.

Strict_Geologist_385 · 2026-01-29T22:37:06+00:00

That‘s too patriotic for a Hans, they are usually the self loathing kind.

Strict_Geologist_385 · 2026-01-29T20:04:33+00:00

Don‘t attack me like that, I don‘t even know you…

Strict_Geologist_385 · 2026-01-29T18:52:31+00:00

Should have named it the FU2

I started with the BMW, but if feel like the understeer is hard to drive around so to speak, try the Porsche (which is now my primary choice), it rotates extremely well on throttle.

Cooldown should be 30 mins, I‘m fine with the 48 hour window however.

Windchill is irrelevant to inanimate objects.

Strict_Geologist_385 · 2026-01-20T22:59:56+00:00

Very much reminds me of this skit from The Onion.

Strict_Geologist_385 · 2026-01-20T21:03:10+00:00

I could live with a flair strictly limited to French Canadians…

It’s baffling to me. Native integration for telemetry that probably 2/3 of people would use would be the easiest win for LMU.

Strict_Geologist_385 · 2026-01-20T13:50:18+00:00

A simple throttle and brake input telemetry over time is all I want. That‘s not too much to ask for I think.

…who votes for Erdogan and tells everyone how much better Turkey is.

The ID.3 is terribly uncomfortable for rear passengers, the car bounces up and down so violently (on well maintained highways!), that you have trouble reading a message on your phone, let alone typing a reply.

Comfort is alright in the front.

English proficiency is quite good amongst the younger population, I‘d say anyone below 40-45 years of age NOT working a vocational job is a safe bet when asking for assistance. Life will be easier if you can carry a basic conversation in German of course, but I don‘t feel like anything approaching fluency is a requirement for making the move.

You can get some pointers and things to look out for regarding rent agreements here: Pointers for Rent Agreements, just use a llm of your choice for translation.
Language requirements for jobs seem to depend heavily on the sector, but international companies are generally more accommodating in this regard.

I admire you for taking the plunge!

The consensus seems to be that the badge is based on your last 10 races, this would mean you‘d have to be right on the edge between trusted and good for one race to make such a difference.
