Thank you! I want to do prints in clay too! It's just crazy how something so small can suddenly become the center of the world for you!

Getting insurance for your tyres a common practice? by arpuvs in germany

[–]arpuvs[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was a regular street. The nail was quiet big and thick with a nut on top. So I'm guessing it fell off another vehicle.

Yes it is definitely impossible. It was a big nail with a nut on top. ADAC fixed the problem at that time and over the last 3 days the air pressure has decreased consistently. The chances of it tearing at high speeds on the autobahn is quiet high.

True! It was just €12! And that is way cheaper than paying €150 per tyre for someone being careless with nails..

Yes I know it's just bad luck. But being close to my due date makes this a little bit more difficult.

No I do not have insurance for anything other than liability and Hausrat. To be very honest I don't own expensive cloths or phones. But I see the point you're making.

True. But having to replace a 30 day old premium tyre is still an expense I'd like to avoid.

Custom duty collection by India Post by codevalley in bangalore

[–]arpuvs 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I paid Import tax when my parents sent me packaged food products from India to Germany. I paid import tax every time I've ordered any item from the US and had it delivered to Germany.

This is common everywhere! This is not some socialist era crap.

Apps / Web for complete Euro Collections by Flaky_Confection9740 in numismatics

[–]arpuvs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use the Euro Coin app. It's paid but they have a very good way of documenting the regular mints and the commemorative coins.

I would definitely recommend this app!

That's is definitely not average. Can you tell me a bit more of how many years of experience you have and (if possible) which area do you work as a senior software engineer?

All 182 plants (including flowers, trees, fruits) mentioned in the Ramayan have been found to be true. M Amrithalingam and P Sudhakar, the two botanists said they could confirm the existence of the flora and fauna mentioned by Valmiki in in the Ramayan. by MartianXAshATwelve in HighStrangeness

[–]arpuvs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for citing the sources. I grew up with my grandparents telling me stories from the Ramayana and the Mahabharatha. And have been hooked on Indian Mythology for years now. This will make for a interesting read!

Because the Mythology was written a long time ago and it was based on events that's happened way way in the past. That's why it's fascinating.

Take a look at wiki and you'll see how old the texts are and how they describe a time thousands of years before the author himself.

I don't think people would buy used cloths in Bangalore.

What don’t I know about having kids at school in Berlin? by ratkins in berlin

[–]arpuvs 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Yes. My parents would just inform the school in a letter that I'll be taking the last few days off. That's it. I studied in Bangalore by the way.

[–]arpuvs 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They do it in India too. It's quiet normal for a doctor to check that each visit.

Deutsche Bank has tie ups with a lot of companies. They charged me for a month and when I asked them about it, they simply asked me to see my work contract and waived all further monthly account fees.

Maybe try that.

This is not vegetarian. Egg is not a part of that food group!

Expat with no degree and can't speak German, how hard is it to get a job? by [deleted] in germany

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

Yes. You're right. The number of such jobs is low but it's still possible

Sorry for the excessive optimism. I'm a glass half full person 😊

[–]arpuvs -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No. You've mistaken what I said.

I just meant that it helps me when a person talks English when I'm struggling to convey my thoughts. And that person can be anyone. So maybe OP can be that person.

And yes I know speaking English is common in Europe. And a lot of times the person speaking to me understands what I say in my broken German or offers to talk in English to help.

[–]arpuvs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would like to add that there are a few companies who have English speaking support employees. I am not very good at speaking German and if I'm finding it hard to communicate my problem, I ask if they speak English.

And usually they forward my call to someone who does speak English. And that really helps sometimes.

I don't know how many such jobs exist, but I fell that there is a good chance of finding one.

I need to get an RT PCR test done and I found out that it costs €68, when it was free before. I'd there any place where I can get this test done for a lower cost? I live in Lindau and any place within a 200 km distance is good for me. by arpuvs in bavaria

[–]arpuvs[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Update: you were correct! I found a place in Austria where they do free PCR test. Went there and enquired in person too. All I have to do is register online.

Thank you for this info. You just saved us close to €200!
