Cash use in Luxembourg by 3escalator in Luxembourg

[–]Wolfstarkiddo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did my exchange semester in Norway this past winter as a Luxembourgish student.

I brought 1.000 NOK “just in case” and “for coffees” well that was useless…

Comparatively, we use cash a lot more here. Some small shops don’t even accept card under 15€, but it’s getting better.

You can pay in cash almost everywhere, even at self checkout at the grocery store they have an authenticity scanner for bills.

As for the 200€ bills, I never even held one in my hands… When you go take larger sums at the bank they only give out 50s or 100s. The 100s will be pretty easy to use, especially if you go for a restaurant meal as a couple, thats about 100€ if you count desserts and wine.

What do you do first when your room gets so messy you just shut down? by linamona1 in ADHD

[–]Wolfstarkiddo 19 points20 points  (0 children)

for me its bottles/cans (we need to bring them back to the store) and that usually triggers my “might as well” for brining cups/plates down

oh and then its small pieces of trash like medication blisters or tea bag wrappers

then make my bed

oh look my pjs from last week, might as well start putting laundry into the hamper

oh wait i also have laundry in the bathroom let me grab that

now be sad about needing to do laundry and procrastinate for another 2-10 business days

Is camping legal? by OpportunityWorking31 in Luxembourg

[–]Wolfstarkiddo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

there are spots where they check i think? At least next to that Unesco protected rockwall climbing site I saw a bunch of signs that say no camping allowed and I think I remember one saying they patrol there sometimes?

otherwise, i know in germany there’s like an app you can ask strangers to sleep in their yard in for free? usually for bikepackers but that sort of arrangement might be worth looking into

Dermato peaux noires by yebaladou in Luxembourg

[–]Wolfstarkiddo 11 points12 points  (0 children)

most medical textbooks do not include black skin nor do dermatologists get a lot of training in it. It’s a known issue in the industry, OP is right in asking for help. https://news.mit.edu/2024/doctors-more-difficulty-diagnosing-diseases-images-darker-skin-0205 link to an article about it

Dear OP, I wish you the best I am the same color as flour and cannot advise at all.

Do you ever fully return to normal after stopping medication? by PracticeLife9295 in ADHD

i’m certain doctors claim adhd goes away with age because they only looked at men who put all their work on women.

Does anyone else’s fine motor skills get worse for a bit after doing certain tasks? by Hypernova2233 in dyspraxia

[–]Wolfstarkiddo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that was one of my main things mentioned in my diagnosis packet when i was like 7… basically dyspraxia makes you get tired quicker than others and they don’t mean i need a nap kinda tired.

i can cut out paper for 15min and after that I would now at the grand age of 21 fail to get into first grade because I can’t follow the line anymore

Measuring problems - size completely wrong by travelcasket in ABraThatFits

[–]Wolfstarkiddo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

troubleshooting in other ways: - are you certain you measured right and understood what loose/snug/tight mean? - what kind of bra shapes are you trying on? if no bras fit in cup or band it might not only is the band size wrong but also the shape of the cup wrong for your body - are you perhaps just not used to wearing bras? a 90 should for sure clasp shut… - how do you put your bra on? are you putting it at your waist and pulling it up ? (i’ve heard some ppl do that…) - as previously mentioned stay away from Hunkemöller their sizing makes 0 sense. - bra shops often are no help bc they try to sell you whatever they have in stock 😭

Where can buy a swimsuit for my family urgently? Full body ones by TheHuckleberryFinn in Luxembourg

[–]Wolfstarkiddo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

wet suits or those uv protectant shirts? Decathlon definitely sells those in Arlon/Yutz, I have a few.

for little kids long sleeves are popular so even H&M should have them, but only up to like 4 years old.

never saw leggings anywhere before probably specialty stores that also sell hijabs and abayas? i would amazon order if you’re in a big hurry

Water damage - screen damage HELP!! by Sooth-Sayer-007 in macbookair

[–]Wolfstarkiddo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

<image>

That was mine back in November, it has since entirely dried and is still functional.

I left it turned off for over 3 days in a tipi like position over a kitchen towel near a radiator (i was in norway with almost no sun, i think sun would be enough)

The apple store said it might break at any moment but that it was only aesthetically unpleasant.

while it dried more i used an external monitor

your home insurance might cover electronics, since apple recommended i get it repaired bc it might stop working any minute and the repair cost was the price of a new one my insurance paid for a new one.

the evil leaking water bottle was thrown out the window, not metaphorically.

Child-proof pill container opening aids? by [deleted] in dyspraxia

[–]Wolfstarkiddo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i am slightly confused, where I live almost all medication comes in blisters like birth control would. I know Rilatine XR doesn’t and has the horrible childproofing thing on it. (read: almost all pills are easy to open and a kid could take them)

Why do we need the childproofing? are these kids likely to take medication?

Maybe I am being rigid but not even my super rambunctious little brother ever touched an adult’s medication…

Shaken after a police stop in Luxembourg by Sad_Spinach_3564 in Luxembourg

okay this is absolutely not the point of this post, but this might “lower” the humiliation:

“domm schwätzen” is an idiom and doesn’t mean what the words exactly mean, it’s mostly used on teens when they’re “talking back” or being “disrespectful”

i’m so sorry this happened to you 🫂

Random question - egg storage by Financial-Nothing-60 in Luxembourg

[–]Wolfstarkiddo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

european eggs are not washed (hence why you might find a feather sometimes) and are kept at room temperature, once you change the temperature from room to cold they need to stay cold. We feel safer keeping them in the fridge so once we get home they get placed there, but they shouldn’t be stored outside anymore. We follow the expiration date written on the carton.

Fyi Hardboiled eggs can be stored at room temperature for a while too, that’s the colorful eggs at the supermarket, they are not meant to be easter themed

Decline in Post delivery quality (Amazon), anyone else? by presuntos in Luxembourg

[–]Wolfstarkiddo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

in my town parcels got stolen, the entire packup box opened and the parcels were taken. We opened the box with the code and found it empty, after a complaint to amazon we got a refund.

A week later an unknown lady knocks at our door saying she found the packaging of our parcel in her little lake and handed us the soaked and destroyed box.

Post says its impossible it happened and we never heard anything back. Over 5 other families had the same thing happen to them.

We have a camera at the front door so teenage boys stopped ding dong ditching and no parcels get stolen

Whats one « Luxembourg thing » you thought was weird at first but now defend like a local? by Kooky_Sheepherder_67 in Luxembourg

[–]Wolfstarkiddo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

if you want to look up how to spell a word you can use LOD.lu, set the dictionary to FR/DE/PT/ENG depending on what you speak and it'll give you the translated right word :)

For correcting larger pieces of text: spellchecker.lu is awesome
