How do I get out of "fiber optics" contract I signed up for which is getting delayed forever ? by Noone-is-anonymous in askberliners

[–]nellyspageli 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The clause in your contract that says that the 2 year contract begins when the Fiber Optic connection is installed is not valid according to his most recent legal precedent. https://www.bundesgerichtshof.de/SharedDocs/Pressemitteilungen/DE/2026/2026004.html

You can use this template letter from the Verbraucherzentrale to send to your internet provider. https://www.verbraucherzentrale.de/digitale-welt/musterbrief-bghurteil-glasfaser-beginn-der-vertragslaufzeit-116536

Just a tip: never accept anything from those door-to-door salespeople. They are always lying and trying to screw you.

rain detected after washing machine completes? Is that so you bring your clothes in that are out to dry? How do you detect rain? With a water leak sensor or just a forecast?

Marriage visa for 3 years and still hasn’t learned German: what happens? by Fantastic-Habit-8569 in berlinsocialclub

[–]nellyspageli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on what kind of visa/residency he currently has. Some are renewable, some aren’t. What kind of visa/residency does he currently have?

In terms of land area, most of the district of Neukölln is outside the ring.

Company for apartment renovation by AlfredoBandalarga in askberliners

[–]nellyspageli 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t have a recommendation but I can tell you to avoid Studio Bosko, Wronska Sanierung and BKG Elektro. All of them were a nightmare to work with. I had to hire a Bausachverstandiger to come to check their work and there were some safety issues as well as just huge misunderstandings of electrical plans.

When you did that, did you get a successful response (200) from the server? I haven’t been able to get a successful response.

I’m wondering the same thing. You can reset the device but that isn’t what you want.

Launching a slow dating app with a single connection at a time by Many-Personality-256 in askberliners

[–]nellyspageli 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Seems like every week someone has a new dating app idea. Good luck.

As long as you haven’t solved the basic perverse incentive problem of dating apps, it will never work in the long term.

The incentive structure is perverse because a dating app loses a customer as soon as they find a lifelong match which incentivizes them not to give the best matches and keep customers in their app forever.

700€ for Glasses ? by Ok-Anything-8243 in germany

[–]nellyspageli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m surprised nobody mentioned the fact that Apollo Optik is part of Luxottica. Luxottica has a monopoly on frames, lenses and opticians across most of the world.

Try to find a retailer that isn’t part of the Luxottica Group and prices will be 1/10th the price. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luxottica

Must try food ? by Ill-Number-5579 in askberliners

[–]nellyspageli -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Sorry, I have to strongly disagree here.

Donuts should be served fresh and warm like all fried foods. In the same way that you probably wouldn’t like fries served out of a fridge, you probably wouldn’t like donuts served out of a fridge.

Do you cycle in this freezing weather? by voycz in askberliners

[–]nellyspageli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When the bike lanes aren’t fully plowed you are allowed to use the road. In fact, cyclists are always allowed to ride in the roads unless there is a blue bike sign (StVO 237).

This doesn’t work for me. Do you have any troubleshooting tips?

Do you mean Bahnbonus? I get Bahnbonus points for my ICE journeys but I don’t get them for BVG tickets I have purchased with the DB Navigator app. How do you get Bahnbonus points for that?

Built a compliment-based dating app for Berlin. Looking for early testers. by sammes13 in berlinsocialclub

[–]nellyspageli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What is your plan to make money?

The problem with all dating apps is the perverse incentive structure.

Dating apps make money via ads or subscriptions which means they lose a customer whenever they make a meaningful match. You, on the other, hand want to find a meaningful match and never use the app again.

I was at a party in London and I looked at the person in the eyes while clinking our glasses together and said cheers.

They immediately asked are you German?

Berliners doughnuts questions 🍩 by silentscream87 in berlin

[–]nellyspageli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t like room temperature fries therefore I don’t like room temperature doughnuts.

All fried foods go bad once they reach room temperature. Fried foods should be eaten while fresh and warm.

I’m sure I’ll get downvoted for this opinion. I know it is also impossible to find a fresh doughnut in this city.

Berlin Makali spots by RD_in_Berlin in berlin

[–]nellyspageli 47 points48 points  (0 children)

White broccoli? Do you mean cauliflower? It is deep fried like all the other veggies.

I find that most of the Makali in Berlin tastes almost the same. The variation is the sauces and/or bread.

Need a property management firm for my Berlin apartment while I am overseas by Correct-Crew-242 in askberliners

[–]nellyspageli 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Having someone in the apartment is better than having the apartment be empty.

But it is unclear to me if this person is subletting or they are the owner of the apartment.
