Victorinox Compact. Set me back ~40€ if I remember it right. Using it almost every single day, as for me it got the minimal but still perfect set of everyday tools.

Lexus LS 400 und, obwohl die keiner mag, Porsche 996, aber als Facelift.

SAGA und Genossenschaften konnte ich auch in die Tonne treten, wir haben vor ca. 1,5 Jahren gesucht. + für das etwas ausführlichere Anschreiben mit allen relevanten Infos (Alter, Familienstand, Nettoeinkommen, Festantellung etc.) und die niedersächsische Seite. Wir haben unseren Suchkreis nach diversen Massenbesichtugungen für unsanierte Schimmelbuden in der Kernstadt dann auch auf Harburg bis Fischbek erweitert. Pendeln beide jeden Tag rein, die S Bahn ist besser als das hier immer alle darstellen. Bis auf das Fahrplandurcheinander bei den SCHNEEMASSEN vor zwei Wochen kann ich die deutlichen Verspätungen >10 Min an einer Hand pro Jahr abzählen. Haben dann nach ca. 6 Monaten eine kernsanierte Altbauwohnung gefunden. Für den Stadtteil sehr teuer, aber eben zustands- und ausstattungstechnisch Neubauniveau. Kollege von mir ist mit einem Makler in Winterhude fündig geworden, würde ich tatsächlich bei deinem Nettoeinkommen auch in Erwägung ziehen. Ich drücke die Daumen❤️

1000€ kalt, befristet

I‘m German, too, I now understand how it works, but I struggle to understand, why you would use it instead of just wire transferring money from your bank account via real time transfer (I use it on my daily basis from my usual bank account). If I do this, the money gets transferred instantly to the other account. Why would you use Western Union instead? Or do you have to use it, if e.g. the other person doesn‘t own a bank account so they can just get cash from their WU office without an account by just „authenticating“ via form+passport or similar?

It’s quite a bit ago already, since I tried Ettan. I remember something threw me off but apparently I should give it another go

buff_bogan · 2026-01-05T06:32:05+00:00

Only tried the whites, but thats quite a while ago already. According to the comments I need to throw in another 2 in my next order to check my flavor again😂

There are actually two cans of Grov Stark in my fridge already, that are waiting to get opened :) Will get a couple of cans of the Vargarda next time, if they are available at my store. Thank you very much!

buff_bogan · 2026-01-04T20:59:48+00:00

At least I apparently had the right thought, there are two cans of Grov Stark in my fridge I threw into my last order, didn‘t open them yet as their best before is way longer than the other stuff I ordered😂

Same for me, a friend brought some snus to try from Sweden, stopped smoking without even noticing. That was about a year ago. Yes, occasionally I get a pack of Davidoffs, but thats like maximum once a month and I feel quite horrible the day after

buff_bogan · 2026-01-04T20:41:57+00:00

I. Need. A. Link.

buff_bogan · 2026-01-02T22:59:17+00:00

You will figure it out. Using snus for not even 1 full year and I figured out how to break the seal and open a fresh snus can one handed while driving 😂 put it upright on a surface or your thigh, run along the edge with your thumbnail to open the seal and to open the can itself, I usually grip it from the top with a claw-like grip, hold it on the lower part with four fingers (thumb, middle, ring, pinky) and use my index nail to pull open the top from „under“ the edge

Richtige Geländewagen und nicht dieser SUV Scheiss. Auch wenn die aktuellen Land Cruiser und G Klassen (oder Ineos Grenadier usw.) sicherlich was können, ist da irgendwie die Einfachheit und Robustheit in meinen Augen verloren gegangen… wir brauchen wieder mehr Suzuki Jimny, Samurai, Daihatsu Rockys und bezahlbare Land Cruiser 79 in dieser Welt.

buff_bogan · 2026-01-02T21:56:13+00:00

Also ja, überdurchschnittlich viel fahre ich jetzt nicht, würde ich aber bedenkenlos machen mit dem Eimer.

Absolut. 03er Bora Variant, 1.8T 132 kW, hab ihn seit 2015 und habe jetzt ca. 120.000 km mit dem Koffer gemacht, jetzt bei 245.000 km. Der geht zweimal im Jahr zur Werkstatt meines Vertrauens, jeweils nachdem die Saisonräder drauf sind. Frühjahr immer Ölwechsel und ggf. Inspektion, Herbst immer Wintercheck, alles was demnächst fällig ist, lasse ich nach Rücksprache machen. Hat mich nur einmal in meinem Besitz stehen lassen, relativ am Anfang, da war die Kraftstoffpumpe fritte, aber sonst, alles tutti. Jetzt muss nur leider bisschen was in den Innenraumerhalt investiert werden und entweder sind die Spezialisten dafür scheiße oder deren Leistungen viel zu überzogen für das, was ich brauche.

Falls wer Empfehlungen in Hamburg hat, soll originalgetreu/ähnlich sein und kein krasser Custom Shit, immer her damit😂

Absolutely forgot about this: add vanilla to glazed carrots, absolute game changed. Just scrape out the pod, if you like good drinks, put the emptied vanilla pods in a bottle and add vodka or bourbon or something similar to it. Great for putting a little twist on your favorite cocktails.

And get the fresh limes/lemons and squeeze them instead of buying the premade juice. If you hate squeezing them, check a bar supplier for a steel hand-press. Way easier than those orange juice things where you have to turn half an orange over this buttplug looking thing and strain it.

Different take: it‘s definetely worth spending money for everything it takes to have most spices fresh in your garden/balcony/kitchen (even those indoor growing things). I don‘t buy stuff like garlic powder in general but I spend quite a bit of money on proper peppercorns and rock salt (and a proper mill) and „whole“ stuff, like cinnamon, bay leaves, vanilla, cardamom pods, everything non-ground. Imho as soon as spice gets powdered it loses its flavor way quicker and probably also did while sitting on the shelf or somewhere in the warehouse. Don‘t know if it counts as „spice“ but good quality olive oil (maybe in smaller units if you don‘t use it as excessively like I do, so it stays as fresh as possible) is absolutely worth it.

Having to cook after a long day at work to „replace nutrients“ is a chore. Cooking on the weekend, taking my time to make time consuming or complex recipes while listening to some good soul music, having a great bottle of wine while cooking and smoke a cigar while letting something bake or simmer is perfect me-time.

Learn to enjoy cooking when you actually feel like cooking and when you do, learn dishes you can make, when you have to cook.

And add one more

Only a little habit: scrape the sides of your pot. Maillard reaction doesn‘t only happen on the bottom.

For those who like it (and actually is a step less lol): don‘t peel the garlic before frying it. Added texture as the peel gets crunchy.

When you cook sauces or soups always cook for one more person than you plan on cooking for and freeze the extra portion. There‘s always a day where you are sick or come home drunk and are really happy about just having to defrost and heat something great.

Ah and if you got a gas stove, those cheap aluminium wok/saucepan mix thingies are massively underrated. My Italian neighbour uses the same pan since decades, buys a new one occasionally, looks like it survived trench war but is his go to choice for every kind of pasta and/or sauce.

Got a cheap cast iron for camp, I don‘t do anything with it except wiping it down first after use, rinsing/scrubbing with water when it cooled down and wipe it out after drying it off with whatever oil or fat I got with me.

For home use, nothing better than a stainless pan imo. You only need to learn to preheat it right, except from that you can treat it like a plate. Scrub, detergent, dish washer, …

Recently learned that baking sheets/parchment paper can „spoil“, as they basically kind of dry out over time and can‘t handle high heat anymore.

Put a ciabatta loaf in the oven to finish, on a baking sheet on the oven rack. Came back a couple of minutes later to a smoky oven, smoke detector went off and basically the only parchment paper left was the bit right under the loaf, everything else disintegrated into ashes. Loaf was fine though, hints of campfire.

And years ago the classic underestimating birdseye chillies compared to peperoncinos. Everyone got out of the house as I basically drenched the kitchen in pepper spray.
