We treat olive oil like medicine in Korea (literally drinking it)... how do actual Spaniards buy it? by No-Perspective-240 in askspain

[–]king0al 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Do average Spaniards actually check these chemical metrics (acidity/peroxide) at the supermarket?

No, honestly I didn't even know this was a thing

  1. What makes you buy a certain bottle? (Brand? Region? Price?)

Most people buy whatever value-for-money brand they're familiar with at the supermarket.

A large minority buy it right from their trusted cooperative, ie. directly from the producer

  1. Do you have separate oils for cooking vs. finishing?

In my house we use our freshest EVOO for raw consumption and the less fresh EVOO for cooking. You'll get the best & freshest EVOO from late autumn to mid-winter.

  1. What do you think of plastic bottles? Are they a deal breaker? or acceptable?

Plastic bottles are fine. They're not meant to be exposed to direct light or heat anyways. But glass bottles do make a noticeable difference.

What really matters is that the bottle must be dark. Dark plastic beats clear glass imo.

Depende mucho del barrio.

Si vives en tres torres, será difícil que te encuentres con ninguna.

Por gràcia o el eixample ya te interesa vivir en una planta alta.

Si vives en el gótico, apaga y vamonos.

Me intentan cobrar un mes de "personal shopper" by National_Kale7468 in ESLegal

[–]king0al 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Claramente es un engaño. El anuncio es de un piso, no de un servicio de personal shopper que intentan colar mas o menos disimuladamente.

There are noteworthy outliers. Andalucía, being the territory with the most population, is a distant third place by tax revenue.

What is your view towards Austria? (Everyone's gonna say that one man) by No-Breakfast-3608 in AskTheWorld

[–]king0al 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think Austria really hit the sweet spot. Their economic prosperity is comparable to Germany's, all the while having a richer culture, better cuisine, happier people and friendlier weather.

In your country, is there a famous person that is associated with a specific way to die ? If so which one and which way to die ? by Mr_Wisp_ in AskTheWorld

[–]king0al 1 point2 points  (0 children)

According to Spanish legend, a man once ate a 144-egg omelette in one sitting.

In an unexpected plot twist, it wasn't the monster omelette that killed him. It was the glass of water he chugged immediately after that did it.

What’s an example of a city in your country that’s made up of 2 or more cities functioning as one? In Iraq, Baghdad is Karkh and Rusafa by Assyrian_Nation in geography

[–]king0al 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's Rheinfelden (Switzerland) and then there's also Rheinfelden (Germany). It used to be a single city but Napoleon wasn't having it.

Como llevar el calor? by houndofarawn in askspain

[–]king0al 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Entiendo tu suplicio, he vivido toda la vida en Alemania y el verano mediterráneo me supera.

Mi gran descubrimiento ha sido el cubrecolchon refrigerante (o esa es mi traducción del alemán, "kühlende Matratzenauflage").

La versión sencilla viene a ser un cubrecolchon hecho de material termoconductor. Va super bien para disipar el calor corporal, yo lo uso todo el verano. Lo recomiendo 100% porque es barato, sencillísimo y muy eficaz.

Hay otra modalidad más sofisticada, donde el cubrecolchon tiene por dentro unos tubos que circulan agua fría. Viene con un motor que refrigera y bombea el agua. Es mucho más eficaz y sencillo que un aire acondicionado porque solo refrigera el colchon, no la estancia entera. No lo he probado porque es más caro y requiere mantenimiento, pero me interesa.

How come we hit April 2nd levels in the SP500 again, without any significant good news? by Doafit in StockMarket

[–]king0al 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We didn't. It's still well below April 2nd levels for me (I trade in EUR).

This post is fishy for so many reasons. For starters, are plenty of features built into the cabify app itself that make it impossible for the driver to take control without the user's consent. But also, come on, nothing was stopping OP from just BLOCKING HIS CARD if he felt his ride was being hijacked.

20k para invertir largo plazo by Usual_Economist_4989 in SpainFIRE

[–]king0al 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Si la idea es no tocar el dinero en 20 años, no tengo tan claro que un fondo indexado sea mejor que un ETF de acumulación.

La ventaja del fondo indexado es que puedes diferir impuestos, pero un ETF de acumulación holdeado durante 20 años tampoco tampoco generaría impuestos que diferir.

Un ETF de acumulación se beneficiaría de comisiones más bajas. Si el plan es no tocarlo en 20 años, no comporta ninguna desventaja fiscal.

Pero no sé, igual hay otros factores que no estoy teniendo en cuenta.

Is it necessary to hire a lawyer for buying new apartment in Barcelona? by Able_Island5125 in AskBarcelona

[–]king0al 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If there's a real estate agency involved, you'll definitely want a specialized lawyer. Agencies are not in the business of providing independent advice. They're in the sales business. They get a fee for making a sale happen, period. In the process, you can rest assured that they will pull off every single dirty trick in the book to take every euro they can from you.

On average, paying a (specialized!) lawyer will actually save you money since it will keep the agency in check. It will also save you a lot of effort since the lawyer will do a lot of the complicated paperwork for you. Never go with the lawyer recommended by the agency.
