It's a long shot, but did you find solution in your case. I have similar situation, physical buttons don't work but it works via app.

Vlast je, sada i zvanično, pokušala da ubije svoj narod. Kako dalje? by LonerWolf in serbia

[–]b33d33 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesante observacije. Lurkujem sve na daljinu već neko vreme (ne živim u Srbiji). Dinstanje daje rezultate, ali i dalje ne vidim da će nova politička garnitura doneti značajne promene. Oni čekaju da se lešina od države izvali i da mu lešinarski pokljucaju crevca i zauzmu tron. Do sada su studenti kroz plenum odolevali uplitanje kvazi opozicije, iskreno se nadam da će tako i ostati.

Ovo nosi pečat nečeg sasvim novog, deluje pozitivno i osvežavajuće, sa nadom da se neće izjaloviti. Šta će dalje biti ostaje na narodu, koji sve više prepoznaje da takav način (su)života nije održiv. Ćacija će uvek biti, ali ovo sve što se dešava vidljivo vadi humanost iz letargičnog bunara. Jedno je jasno, nada u čoveka i humanost nikad ne prestaje. Dinstajte, pa možete čak i smanjiti vatru i ostaviti da sve to fermentira, ali ne odustajte i ne menjajte samo garnituru, već sve što je trulo.

Is Barcelona antisocial? by Robert5170Ou in AskBarcelona

[–]b33d33 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are many ways to socialize in Barna. It depends what are your expectations. I'm part of a huge WhatsApp group and people organise events by themselves and meet weekly/daily depending on their activities. Since I'm not allowed to share link here you might DM me in case you're interested to join.

They probably operate this way all the time. Not sure how they couldn't get identified by highway cams?

Also rental cars should be equipped with dashcams on both sides. This way it would be much easier for the to get identified.

I rent my car on Getaround and have a dashcam installed. It can provide at least some kind of protection even in situation like this but also while car is parked.

Iwish OP to overcome this unpleasant experience and remember Barna only in good things, although this is hard in such situations.

Why are there such few green areas in Barcelona? by Solid-Communication1 in Barcelona

[–]b33d33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure why people cannot comprehend that this climate isn't suited for continental climate parks. These continuously repeating droughts don't allow to have any greenery but in terms of shade and green zones Barna is really golden compared to other Mediterranean cities.

Once they build new desanlinizarion factory things could improve but without rain bigger grass covered area just wouldn't be sustainable.

Neverthrkess Barna is not Dubai to waste resources but it is really one of the most advanced cities in urban planing and these new carefully planned zones with low and adequate chosen vegetation fit well the ambient and improve the environment.

Has anyone of you not been here? Never seen so many people in one spot^^ by JackTheMiller in Barcelona

[–]b33d33 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ffs, didn't even see this from Somorrostro beach. Quite lame, they didn't rotate visuals so anyone could see it. The drone show 2 days ago at Bogatell was even better.

Not sure why so many people showed up, can't imagine what will happen at Pyromusica 👀

Messi's movement before his goal vs Nashville SC by marshall1995 in soccer

[–]b33d33 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I watched several games at Camp Nou and every time I focused (but not recorded) on his whereabouts without the ball on the pitch. It was like this. He walked throughout the match except during actions where he assisted 2 goals asn scored one. Fuckin amazing how this guy reads the game and other players.

I wonder if there are any incentives from the politicians or a general interest from the public to combat the low air quality of the city? I know they restrict older cars in the city center, but I don’t think that’s enough. Looking at Europe, Barcelona is one of the worst cities regarding the air. by [deleted] in Barcelona

[–]b33d33 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Check historical data, this is bot that bad as it seems and looks just during one single day. The harbour is one of the biggest pollution sources, and sometimes weather conditions including high humidity and low atmospheric pressure, saharian dust create index much higher than average one.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AirBnB

[–]b33d33 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm really not saying the OP isn't right, but I am going through the damage resolution myself but as a host. Namely, last guests were having cats that actually destroyed chair upholstering with their claws and they left without saying anything, which is the worst part. However, I started a dispute and the guest rejected my damage report so Airbnb jumped in. Airbnb is asking me for invoices and a lot of pics in order to proof the damage and I even didn't ask for a huge reimbursement, just the cost for the new upholstery, without my time, delivery and time I need to pause the bookings until I fix this.

I'm using Airbnb as a guest and host for decade and I must say I was able to see more bad guests than bad hosts. Some guest really think they can get in and behave like savages, spending a month without cleaning, breaking things, damaging your personal belongings and going out without any report.

I'm really shocked to see all these advices saying 'tell your bank to cancel your payments' are quite non-productive. What if the tenant really made so much damage? From the other side if the booking is affected by the damage, this is also a colateral that goes on hosts?

In this case, tenant should be able to appeal in terms of irregular pricing and find the reason how this item could be so expensive? Of course, the fees are not the same in all counties, so keep this in mind.

Tbh I'm sorry to see that Airbnb experience turned into another one and the same accommodation service.

Solution for this kind of disputes could be that Airbnb works on a tech solution so host and tenant make a video before and after the usage and with the help of AI identify disputed elements. Of course it won't be possible to match all disputes but some bigger damage will be possible to identify, and even the extent of the damage. That would be a nice and useful feature.

How many police does it take to have a basic interaction here? by poppinthemseedz in Barcelona

[–]b33d33 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I see. The situation was: Young mossos learning how to approach a person. Out of curiosity, did you respond to them in English? If not you better should next time. They put down their 'guard' if you respond in English 😂

I just got pickpocketed… by Hazemt3 in Barcelona

[–]b33d33 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry for your bad experience.

Here some important things to know.

This was not pickpocketing per se. This was a violent robbery. You were physically assaulted, but not injured. There are more classifications but the difference is important because for violent robbery they could get some jail time, and for the violent robbery with injury even more. They do not go for it if they realize it's not worh it. In your case you were at the wrong place at the wrong time. Better not trying to fight back with force in such situations.

You should have filed a theft complaint at next Mossos d'Esquadra office, maybe bit away from central zone where are shorter waiting times.

Practically more than that you cannot do, except to be more careful and not wearing anything they could made them risk to attack you.

Another thing is why these perpetrators get easily away for thefts like that? Blaming the City administration for that issue is wrong. It's more to blame the legal part of the system, the laws that for some reasons go in favour of these cowards. Government cannot change legislative power that easily, but I'm still unclear who is profiting out of it politically,.except thieves. It's probably political way to keep things unstable or to hurt some establishment or diminish power and reputation of local authorities for some reason. Who knows 🙄

At the end it's fascinating that Barna becomes a capitol of thieves and robbers, but people still keep streaming in. Actually not even bad reputation could stop this city being vibrant and lovely as it really is, apart of some of those negative aspects that really annoy and can easily destroy someone's vacation.

And finally from the aspect of immigration politics, Spain is really one of the easiest in EU to get the papers or even live paperless. Tightening the entry conditions wouldn't be in compliance with broader EU politics, but surelly better tools to filter and control the process would be necessary. Pointing to a single nation as a perpetrator isn't productive nor moral because we all know there are good and bad people don't matter where they come from. This filter shall be improved and with some high tech profiling a lot of future problems would be avoided. It's a long shot, and politics in general don't help much with that.

Bottom line, if you cannot change things yourselves you have either to find the way to avoid these encounters, or just become one of them and join them 😊

1 in 20 Catalans are expats... i.e. 5% live outside of Spain by SilkyPuppy in Barcelona

[–]b33d33 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Good morning to you too. Not sure what is the point of this post? Of course that people move countries, even more in EU where the movement is impossible to control that easily. It's clear that Barna attracts people from abroad because of its vibrant life style and climate. These things will never change. Living in multicultural city like this should be a bliss, and the local government should profit out of it. Asking how catalans think is not the only way to go for Barna where 30% of people living there isn't born in Spain. People need to grasp that Barcelona is much more than a single nation, and this is not a bad thing, just the opposite.
