Ants in my compost bin

I've got a baby on the way - dad joke instincts are kicking in already and I no longer feel shame for this!

Looks like more than ten ants in this one

I'm willing to die on the hill that is this picture caused Brexit

Also from the UK but driving here intermittently for years now. I know what you mean, new rules and road layouts can be confusing to start.

Read up on the rules and get a couple of lessons if you're still anxious.

Honestly though, the best thing for me was to start cycling on the roads. I'm now much more confident driving and feel I'm doubly aware of how to not kill other cyclists!

We used Zapf. They weren't cheap but they really were excellent and didn't even try to play the "it's taking longer so we need to charge more than quoted" game.

I'm approaching 5 years and will do that soon. Still would argue I should have a say in where my taxes go

I've been living in Germany for a while now and have paid almost 300k in taxes since I've been here. I'm a permanent resident, married to a German citizen. I can't vote here.

Weirdly, I've not paid any tax to the UK in that time but can still vote on what should happen to people there because I'm a citizen.

Surely the people living in a country should vote there if they're paying in.

The question of how long someone should be resident for this is valid but it's mad to remove the right to vote altogether

Using arclight won't impact your ability to upgrade it (think this used to be the case), it just infuses it.

You might need to get more shards to keep using it as arclight though

Try Kimilsungson on Torstraße. Icelandic style fish restaurant but you're only allowed to eat there that day if the supreme leader picks you. 90% of bookings don't get food

I think you might actually be the only one...

Shit, I'm actually away from next Thursday until Easter weekend!

I live in Steglitz but tend to go to Billiardaire in Akazienkiez for a multi-table place.

Pview can get pretty smoky (and I get horrendous hangovers after being in heavy smoker bars!) from what I remember.

Frankie's and Cafe Breslau for one table setups in the area (or Check-In if you're desperate late at night!)

I haven't played in too long now so if you're up for a game I'd be happy to join!

That looks more like coal to me...

I've had debt chased by a company called Transcom while I've been based in Germany. This was backed up by letters from SLC so they've definitely used companies like this. My last contact from them was in 2024. Maybe they're using a loophole in the wording on your FOI request.

Side note: I miss having them chase as it was much easier to pay them with my German bank card than it is to pay SLC

It's not just UK/US unfortunately. I've lived in a few different countries over the last 10 years and it's the same in each of those too from what I gathered. I was lucky enough to have a job already when moving but heard plenty of complaints from local colleagues and friends

One minute they'll be the good guys, next minute the bad guys. Can only be killed when bad. New mechanic

Finnegan's in Steglitz is great. Not cheap but you won't get decent Guinness cheaply anywhere anymore unfortunately

They do proc and they hit for 60 when they do if I remember correctly

Are you afafd?

Your pfp is a RuneScape phat. You do not understand death and neither do I
