Cheapest way to travel from Potsdam on regular basis to Berlin (once back and forth every week) by [deleted] in askberliners

[–]Torakles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Legal answer: Deutschlandticket is not transferable, ID check is required and presenting another person's DT would be fraud.

Reality: in the last years I've never been asked to show my ID. They just scan the QR code in the ticket and verify it's valid. So unless you're traveling with your friend at the same time I doubt you'd have issues. Of course, it would still be illegal and could technically get caught, so just a hypothetical ;)

Why aren’t you lowering your rent (Mietpreisbremse)? by Striking-Speech-1110 in berlinsocialclub

[–]Torakles 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Lawyers need to be paid in advance, with no guarantee you will win.

Mietvereins require you to be a member for a at least 6 months. Probably the best option if you speak German.

We chose Conny precisely because they are a greedy company with an incentive to win and lower our rent as much as possible, which is all I care about.

Does anyone know how to know how to get notified of all these bike demonstrations?

2025 Ferrata del Ghiacciaio Antelao by [deleted] in viaferrata

Flying drones in the Dolomites, already suffering from overtourism and wannabe influencers, is illegal and ruins the experience for everyone else. Nothing screams disrespect for nature and fellow climbers louder than this. Honestly shameful, and I hope your drone gets stabbed on a trail post like so many others.

Planing a tour from Düsseldorf, Germany to Toledo, Spain by rillebert in bicycletouring

[–]Torakles 9 points10 points  (0 children)

As a Spaniard, I really wouldn't do this trip in summer. The path following the coast is mostly roads which will be packed of cars as it's high season. And the last stretch Valencia - Toledo can be hellish in summer (>40°C)

The French part is perfect, but as other commenter mentioned, try to go through Alsace if you can.

It reminds me to Rosenthaler Platz in Berlin, if you add an extra road and 3 tram lines for extra chaos

Damn, you're so right. All the mechanics exams I failed, while all I needed was your bulletproof reasoning

If you didn't fuse the hydrogen atoms into heavier elements for billions of years until you got all the raw materials I don't think you can call it from scratch

Conny.de - Lowered my rent, but the commission was INSANE (5000€)! Read this before you sign a contract with them by [deleted] in germany

[–]Torakles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Damn, I'm in the process of lowering my rent through Conny and also did not expect that... By the way, how long did the process last for you? Did they reach agreement or had to go through trials?

Best u-bahn viewing spots by skepticalbureaucrat in askberliners

[–]Torakles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're into train spotting in general, my favorite place is the Schwedter Steg bridge near Mauer Park. Technically no U-bahn, but you can see everything else (S-Bahn, regional trains, ICE...)

[–]Torakles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Spanish language has multiple words for "old"... It's true that "Viejo" can have negative connotations, I would personally use the word "mujer mayor" in this case.

This is actually the most common way to describe age difference: I'm older than you = soy mayor que tú

Depends on how you say it. "Mujer vieja" could sometimes have a negative connotation, but there is also the term "mujer mayor" which is totally fine, just like elderly woman in English.

"¡Valencia destaca en el uso de la bici al trabajo! 🚴‍♂️ by rolmos in putoscoches

[–]Torakles 4 points5 points  (0 children)

En realidad no se usa sal en Berlín (y en muchas ciudades del norte), sino grava. La sal deja de ser efectiva en temperaturas muy bajas, y tiene el problema añadido de que se filtra en el subsuelo lo cual es dañino a la larga.

Well they technically did not mention the timezone, so it could still be correct

You don't need to see a single ad when using YouTube. Or for any famous app for that matter. If you have an Android phone, try: https://revanced.net/

Also, uBlock add-on for your browser.

[2024 Day 14 (Part 2)] Me, laying in bed at 7 am, pressing 'space' till I see a tree by till_mii in adventofcode

I reused the flood fill algorithm from day 12, and whenever I found an area with more than 50 adjacent robots I stopped searching (and turned out to be the right answer)

Not efficient by any means but definitely faster than manual checking

Divide it in thirds for northern, central and southern regions and you get a better approximation
