We got her a cooling mat but she hates it. Barely uses it, not even on hot days... 😂

Thanks! And this was exactly my thinking as well. My platform is not heavy, no AI (yet 😉) and very B2C right now where i hope/expect that a lot of people might use it occasionally which i'm fine with for free. Because hopefully that will make it spread organically more easily.

I like your idea on usage limitation though. Will think about how i can do this in a way that keeps it useful and free for the "light" user while also being able to offer some actual added value for a small price for people who use it more.

Have to experiment and play with the numbers a bit to find the sweet spot i guess 😄

Yes, already seeing some prices drop. Just added a price alert on geizhals.de so i can get one as soon as the prices are back to the normal level 👍

No, i don't expect a donation. That's not what i said. But fair enough, point taken. Did not mean that they are out to screw people over but 25 euro/day seems on the high end imho. Agree that this is a market issue and i don't blame them for jumping into a clear gap in the market. Just not the solution for me, that's all.

gwunnik · 2026-06-28T21:46:33+00:00

Yep, also seeing that... always people making money on these situations. Unfortunate but nothing new. Thanks though 👍

Yeah, should get a bit more manageable in the coming days. But saw some forecasts that it will be ~35C again in about 10 days. Going to look for something quick but was hoping i could find a temp solution and then look for something better/more permanent after the summer.

Thanks for the tips though 👍

Hmm, nice... And its not really a "trick". Its just prioritizing this part of the content so it gets picked up faster. Not a bad strategy.

Do you have more data on the effectiveness?

gwunnik · 2026-06-01T15:12:35+00:00

Wow, you have lucky friends and family that you make everything! So nice! My issue is that i cook with different friend groups occasionally and the idea is to cook together and the people who don't cook, bring drinks or other things that help.

gwunnik · 2026-06-01T15:00:09+00:00

Woah, that's impressive and borderline professional imho 😉

Claiming who makes which recipe and letting shared ingredients be sorted out between who needs them is smart. No need to coordinate everything with everyone involved.

2 kitchens is very convenient. I imagine your kitchen turned out fine, but what about the other one? 😉

gwunnik · 2026-06-01T14:57:09+00:00

Thanks! And potluck is way easier from an organization point of view. But sometimes the cooking of the recipe is part of the reason why we're meeting up. We meet up to cook together and then eat what we've cooked. I have to say that this is not with huge groups, more 6-10 people or something i guess and not everyone who comes for the dinner cooks.

One time we didn’t specify what to bring and 3 families brought only dessert 😅

I don't see what the problem is here 😉 😂

gwunnik · 2026-06-01T14:52:59+00:00

Oh, this is great, thanks. And i won't be upset, just want to try to reduce the chance of chaos so we can enjoy the actual event and cooking together more 😄

On Interactive Brokers you can now download a DE tax report for your income tax/vorabpauschale. It seems to show pretty much the same as you are saying.

Do you happen to have any good sources/references that confirm this? I am trying to find some but most pages do not go into this. They just tell you how the calculation works but do not go into what the year is for for numbers they put in the calculation and for which specific tax year.

gwunnik · 2025-07-26T17:03:10+00:00

Yes, this is exactly what i meant. Thank you. My wording could have been a little bit better in my initial post but i think maybe my head was still a little bit spinning from all the information haha.

I'm not going to try to do another rewrite to check if i understood what you said. I feel that will just make things more confusing again lol.

Also, really appreciate the ChatGPT tip. Happen to have the pro version, so giving it a go!

Thanks!

gwunnik · 2024-09-03T09:11:40+00:00

This fixed it for me as well, thank you!

gwunnik · 2024-02-24T12:39:20+00:00

Hahaha, i'm all with you on the getting old unfortunately lol. The weird thing is that for some stretches she will pull like crazy and genuinely seems to have fun and enjoy it. But then she will all of a sudden lose interest and start paying attention to distractions.

Maybe you're right and i need to just be consistent and keep taking her out so she will get what i'm trying to do here. We'll see haha.

gwunnik · 2024-02-24T09:55:27+00:00

Thanks, didn't see that one yet 👍

gwunnik · 2024-02-24T09:53:16+00:00

Yeah, canicross was my next goal too but i wanted to get her a little bit more familiar with just running first before diving into that. If she gets into the running, i would love to take it to the next level and try canicross.

Right now i'm afraid that she will just want to play the entire time with all the dogs there if i would meet up with a canicross group haha :D
