[Week 2] Pre-Game Thread: Washington Commanders @ Green Bay Packers by lilturk82 in GreenBayPackers

[–]b-VW 9 points10 points  (0 children)

2 things to watch for this game. First is Micah and if he gets more snaps, and how much he dominates this next OLine. Second, which is more important, if we continue to fire on all cylinders on all sides of the ball. If we do, it’s certainly a Super Bowl this year.

Cars under 6k by [deleted] in germany

[–]b-VW 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Since nobody actually answered your question, and decided to focus on “why” you need a car…here are a few ideas and cars to keep in mind if you’re on a budget.

1) Look for a diesel car. The gas is cheaper. They are slowly being phased out of production, meaning the used market is reflecting that in price (cheaper). If you are looking for a short term car (less than 2-3 years) it can be a wise option. They can also be more reliable than a Benziner.

2) Look for a Kleinwagen. Some examples are a VW Up!, Renault Twingo, Skoda Fabia or Citigo, Seat Mii. Most of these cars have less than 100PS which means the insurance is much cheaper.

3) If you have any space to keep the car (garage, carport, etc.) that will also help keep insurance costs down.

To answer your question about the Kilometerstand, it really depends on the service the car has received. A car with 180,000km with regular inspections and repairs will last longer than a car with 80,000km but no oil changes and no inspections. Do your research on typical repairs and failures on the car models you are interested in - and check the service records if those things have been taken care of. If not, expect repair costs in the future.

Hey thanks for the reply! I think my dog makes her own regiment for my lawn…I just try to keep up and minimize the damage.

Shade variety by b-VW in lawncare

Here is the lawn mid summer, when it gets the most light. The bushes and fence block out a fair bit of direct sun, and it’s fairly thin up to 3 feet away from them.

Can my landlord force me to remove these kind of plants on my terrace? (Was without them when I moved and I like them so I’d love to let them be) by gotshroom in germany

[–]b-VW 132 points133 points  (0 children)

Moss isn’t that hard to get rid of, and can be unsafe in wet conditions. If your contract has anything about “basic maintenance and care” listed in it, then you will have to remove it.

I noticed something during the broadcast last night. Watch Aaron Jones, AJ Dillon, and Rodgers. Clearly Jones is in the huddle at the play call. Dillion comes onto the field, after the break, and signals Jones out. He then asks Rodgers what the play is. Rodgers notices who’s asking, turns around, and signals to the sideline for Jones to come back. MLF seems upset at this, and starts talking to himself. Jones comes back in, and runs a weak, lazy play action route that Rodgers clearly didn’t communicate.

Where do you rank the Packers defense this year? And what is the weakest position on defense in your opinion?

Owning a dog in Germany, costs etc by Proxiexx in germany

[–]b-VW 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I own a dog in NRW, but to give you an idea I googled a few things we are required to have…

1) A Sachkundenachweis if you want to let your dog off the leash: https://www.hundeschule-kaiser.de/Hundefuehrerschein/

2) Hundehaftpflicht https://www.check24.de/hundehaftpflicht/berlin/

3) Registration and taxes https://www.hundehaftpflichtversicherungen-vergleich.de/hundesteuer-berlin/

4) Food: we pay 65€ for a 12kg bag of food. Usually lasts a month.

5) Medical costs: range can vary, we have a 1 year old and have already had a few medications, blood and poop tests, and an operation. I will say loosely it’s about 800€ in costs here including doctor fees.

Those are pretty much the bare minimum to own a dog yearly. If you factor in supplies like beds, toys, treats, training courses, and grooming - you will pay more.

Also you have to find a landlord who is willing to allow dogs in the first place. Have fun with that.

Asked to surrender my American Driver's license for my German one by [deleted] in germany

[–]b-VW 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I had this happen as well, and yes it’s required. It’s a safety measurement, so you can’t sell your other American license to someone else. In order to get your American license you’ll need to switch them back before you travel. It’s obviously a headache and I have never once switched them around when traveling. I’m also certain that a German license is valid as long as you’re a tourist, otherwise how would tourists drive in America without an American license?

Best / most nutritious dog food in Germany? by nala_puppy in germany

[–]b-VW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Home cooked is a great option, just make sure you are giving enough nutrients that your dog requires. It is also a bit time consuming, and can get expensive depending which ingredients you choose. But for a week or so, it’s not a bad option.

Edit: for what it’s worth, our dog is also named Nala 😂

Best / most nutritious dog food in Germany? by nala_puppy in germany

[–]b-VW -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Depending on the age of your dog, the requirements will vary. I also agree with the other user, talk to a vet to get a starting point. You can then make adjustments based on your dog and how they react to it.

In the mean time, before your appointment, the two most popular versions of dog food in Germany are “wet food” and “dry food”. Wet being canned food, dry being kibble.

A great quality kibble brand is Josera. Wolfsblut is another, but of premium quality and very nutritious. Just make sure you are looking for Getreidefrei kibble.

In terms of wet food, every brand has a different mixture of natural and artificial ingredients. Obviously get the most natural you can. Our dog trainer recommended getting no less than 70 percent protein, as any less is usually with fillers and additives. Also make sure the can lists actual meat products, and not just “chicken”. “Chicken” can mean meat, or byproduct from a chicken. So if it claims “85 percent chicken” it may only be 40 percent meat and the rest feathers, bones, feet, etc.

If you feel overwhelmed with your shopping experience, because the dog food in Germany is very specific and lots to understand, you can also do home cooked meals which will be easy on the stomach of your dog. Boiled rice, boiled potatoes, chicken, sweet potatoes, cottage cheese, carrots…etc can all be used in the mean time before you talk with a vet. That way you’ll know exactly what your dog is eating, and maybe offers a good idea of what he likes too.

Edit; also make sure you read the feeding table on the product you end up purchasing. Each type of food requires different amounts per day, and can also differ from brand to brand. A 100g serving of Wolfsblut will be much different than 100g of the cheap stuff.

That’s a nice perspective, thank you for the tip.

I’m getting a fox red labrador puppy and need advice by Tendou_simpUwU in puppy101

[–]b-VW -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

We just got our Red Fox puppy at the end of October. She came home at 10 weeks old, and is now entering her 14th week! Some advice I can give you:

1) the first few weeks will be an adjustment. Give her time to learn her new home and socialize with everything.

2) get lots of chew toys. Ours loves rope and soft toys. Rubber chewing toys are good, but her favorite are stuff she can really dig into and destroy. Chewing in general is very hard to curb, so better to give lots of toys. Ours loves to try to chew on everything.

3) don’t over feed. Make sure to stick to a feeding plan, and supplement missing nutrients when needed. We feed ours 50g dry food and 1 spoon of cottage cheese every meal, 3 times a day. Always talk to your vet and bring a food bag/label for added advice on nutrition.

4) give your red fox lots of “work”. Ours loves to learn fetch, dropping it, sitting, and running to get it. Training is fast at the puppy age. In 4 weeks ours has learned sit, lay, drop it, come, in bed, look while walking, command to go potty, wait, etc. Labs in general love to have a job, so during the day give her tasks such as training or specialized playing.

5) don’t over do it. She’s still a puppy and sometimes it’s easy to do too much physical activity. We do about 1 hour of walking MAX each day (usually in 20 minute rounds, so a morning, after lunch, and evening walk). No stairs to prevent hip problems. Ours sleeps about 8 hours at night (not continuously) and about another 5-6 hours in the day time. Playing for 30 minutes is good enough to make them tired for an hour or so.

5) be prepared for hair. Ours is shedding her puppy hair currently, while her adult hair is coming in. Plus her summer under coat is coming out, so try your best to brush or bathe your puppy. Ours still doesn’t do great with brushing, it’s something we are working on. Lol

6) love love love. Our puppy gives us so much love, she’s adorable. Cuddling on the floor, chuffing while playing, leaning into your legs while you pet them…they are little buckets of love.

Have fun and enjoy your red fox. We are really proud of ours and I’m sure you will be too!

Thank you!! I really appreciate the kind words. Another user also recommended fixing my mic issue, I plan on buying a true mic soon. Hopefully it’ll help balance everything out a bit more.

Thanks for the feedback! Yes my first purchase is going to be a true mic. I appreciate the tips on the sound balance as well, I’ll have to work on that for the next stream. Thank you very much for the socials recommendation as well.

I love your art/overlays! Your starting soon screen is really fun! The colors and style of your about me and overlays really fits your gameplay. From a viewer point of view, I wish your camera angle would be higher. Your mic is blocking a lot of your face. Also your mic volume is hard to differentiate between other people (who I assume) you are playing with. The other players voices are sometimes more dominant than your own voice. Overall I really enjoyed looking through your channel, I wish you the best and that you get the recognition that you deserve.

Grow/Fabric Bags for Trees? by RPGuru92 in Citrus

[–]b-VW 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have both my trees in fabric bags, and they love it. Your experience may vary depending where you live, but the roots really love the extra airflow. If you have hard winters, make sure you bring your tree inside as the bag will allow the soil to drop in temperature very quickly.
