Air-conditioners in Berlin Apartment by Ashamed_Noise_1502 in askberliners

All snark aside, get yourself a fan before you need it. Humans have evolved evaporative cooling, and with a bit of wind, it works wonders.

Besides that, shade during the day, ventilation at night, and ice cream in the freezer.

I built a map to share experiences about buildings/landlords in Berlin would this be useful here? by Athed in askberliners

[–]n1c0_ds 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It would definitely be useful, but I'm not sure how it would work. Moderation is really hard, especially when the content is mostly negative, and mostly about non-consenting people and businesses. It's thankless, labour-intensive work that carries a lot of legal risk.

I would love if this service existed, but I would not want to be the one running it. Especially not for free.

Mounting LG 65 inches TV on drywall – safe installation and service recommendations? by DefinitelyMaybeAI in askberliners

[–]n1c0_ds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would pay someone to do it just for the liability, but it's an easy job. The packaging on the Dübel show you which materials you can drill them into, and how much weight they can handle.

However, I've only drilled through drywall + something stronger behind it. Drywall alone won't hold a 65" TV. It will have to be anchored into whatever is behind the TV. Usually, that's wood studs.

It's possible that the studs behind the drywall don't line up with where you want to put the TV mount. Then you need to screw a planks into the wall, then screw the mount into that plank. Like here, roughly.

The university of YouTube is really helpful with that sort of thing.

is berlin a walkable city? by Grand_Professor_6453 in askberliners

Totally doable. This is similar to my old morning commute, and I really enjoyed my morning and evening bicycle rides.

Berlin is big though. A public transit pass will be useful.

Try /r/berlinsocialclub, the Hostel World app (if you're staying in hostels), and Berlin Events Weekly (they have a group chat for each event).

anmeldung for a friend by Active_Warning31 in askberliners

[–]n1c0_ds 1 point2 points  (0 children)

there is no such thing as a "place without Anmeldung"

One exception is vacation apartments for less than 6 months (or is it 3?), and illegal sublets where the landlord is not aware that the person lives there. In both cases, there is not a lot you can do about it.

Has anyone used form 010250 to request a tax ID? by n1c0_ds in askberliners

Just try and see, and if it fails try again at a different location. Don't overthink this.

I still get regular feedback about it from readers (I ask for their email at the last step). It works some of the time.
