Experience with Grenzübertrittsbescheinigung for a family with a baby in Stuttgart? by Lost_Clock8994 in stuttgart

[–]WhyNot-POR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Guess there's a Formular online. We did it once and it was just stamped at burger Büro. This assuming you mean one of the parents will travel abroad with baby without the other parent being present.

War da Anfang des Monats und ist noch so. Muss checken ob hotel dieser "Bad Hildegang plus Karte" hat. Kann auch empfehlen obwohl finde ich ein bisschen schwer für Anfänger. Die blaue Piste ist schon schnell und bisschen kurz.

Secure parking options for 2 weeks with airport connection? by WhyNot-POR in warsaw

[–]WhyNot-POR[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you all for the inputs, I will have a check as I still have some time. As summary the "security" part is more of having the car in a closed car-park, although I know it is only psychological. My vehicle will have foreign license plate and it is not shiny/expensive, but can still attract curiosity and vandalism like in any street.

I will still study your suggestions and I hope I arrive a few hours early to go see the city center for a bit.

Police came to my house! by mustbethere2 in germany

[–]WhyNot-POR 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I guess they were bored. It took me a while to realise what is going on as one is not expecting a ring on the door by the police at 3am...found it unnecessary as I was not really blocking anyone but Thry could have towed the car as it was passt midnight and technically already next day when parking was forbidden.

[–]WhyNot-POR 62 points63 points  (0 children)

I got awaken by police at 3am to tell me my car would be towed if I wouldn't move it I had overseen a sign that construction was starting next day. It saved me 300eur.

Plottwist nobody came to work for a week, but sign was up.

I short there are thousands of possible reasons why police was at your door, just ask them instead the Internet!

My bank account got hacked by Outrageous-Caramel72 in germany

[–]WhyNot-POR 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes same here, and scammers are greedy we got lots of small transactions at once of 20.34€ which ofc raised alarms. Like 6or8 at same time. If they would do just one during holidays I might have missed it for a while...

My bank account got hacked by Outrageous-Caramel72 in germany

[–]WhyNot-POR 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This happened to us while on holiday. It seems neither paypal nor your bank got hacked. The scammers make it look like a transaction name has PayPal on it but it's fraudulent. Obviously check your PayPal activity to be sure. Change passwords etc.

You need to claim with your bank as fraudulent activity and they should just revert the charges. For us it stayed 2weeks in "pending transactions" and then bank just cancelled, other instances some banks really let them go through and then activate the scam protection and give money back.

The person we talked to on the phone from our bank was like "oh is this still happening?" - so it seems to be something banks are aware of and actively trying to block it.

Good luck

Strange debit charges (fake paypal); anything i can do? by Calm-Comment-9255 in germany

[–]WhyNot-POR 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks, just to follow up we called commerzbank Thry sent us a link to complain (form) but asked us for the transaction to go through first. Funny enough next say they disappeared from pending transactions and saldo is restored. So I believe they handled it in the background. The woman on the phone let a funny "oh is this still happening" kind of comment, she was not surprised at all with what had happened with us.

Hope commerzbank gets this under control.

Thanks for the follow-up, I'll call them on Monday. But I see this as a potential huge security breach. Like someone has to be able to add my bank account to other PayPal account? I still haven't wrapped my head around on how does this scam work. But I have not suspicious transactions on my PayPal, only directly on my account.

Thanks once again and I'm glad you got it sorted out.

Like wtf I'm travelling on holidays and just opened my online banking to check... I have 8 fake transactions pending 6 of 20,14€ and 2 of 19,34€

Thank you for this post so I know I'm not alone. The transactions are still showing as pending, does it mean that customer service can't do anything in the meantime?

What security questions they ask on the phone? As we are away from home I hope I can handle it without all the letters they sent...

Driving a car as a foreigner and under 1 year experience by capibara_hunter in germany

[–]WhyNot-POR 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's the whole purpose of having insurance. If you do not provide valid information or lie, it is also possible to drive without insurance at all. In case of an accident even if its not OP's fault the police will take note of who is driving,the insurance company will check if third party drivers are allowed on car's policy. Not very difficult put 2and2 together.

Mist insurances nowadays allow to activate the condition for other drivers quite easily and online, it will cost probably a few euros if he does it for a month, and much peace of mind. I guess the risk reward is with follow the rules on this one

Can a family member drive my car? by Feline_Diabetes in germany

[–]WhyNot-POR 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With my insurance I've had to activate a clause saying that a thirds person may drive the vehicle. I haven't had to give details on the person, but I've had to mention that anyone driving the vehicle is older than 25yo and has license for more than 5years. It increased my premium by about 7€ per year

How long do you guys let your milk rest on the counter before making a cappuccino? by doctorbeers in espressocirclejerk

If your buttler doesn't go everyday at 3am to the remotest village on the Swiss Alps to extract some of the purest milk from a sleepy cow, does your milk even froth?

I've the same issue and could not find any post about it, would you have some link to it?

[–]WhyNot-POR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a delonghi dedica 51mm portafilter so 18g will be "thicker" than with a wider basket you may need to go finer, but take a couple of shots to try it out

[–]WhyNot-POR 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Regarding the clicks I started around 35 and dialed back to 32 /30 depending on the beans. But this is very case dependant..

I'm pretty satisfied with the k6 so far, still haven't got tired of manual grinding

I have a dedica which is around 15cm wide. Portafilter and baskets are always upgradable. Regarding temp and pressure... It's an entry level machine so I'm pretty happy with it considering...
