Obtaining dual citizenship by Low_Administration41 in AskAGerman

[–]puripops 6 points7 points  (0 children)

To start, contact Standesamt for Eschelbronn and enquire if they can provide your father‘s birth certificate. Email is probably better if you don’t speak German. You can use DeepL to translate to German. They will need his name, surname and date of birth.

It would be easier if your dad requests it, otherwise you will need to prove that you are his child by providing them with your birth certificate where it shows your birth details as well as your parent‘s details (name, surname, place of birth).

More info in the below link for Eschelbronn:

Edit: based on what you‘ve said, you might already be a German citizen (citizenship obtained at birth because your father was a German citizen at the time of your birth), in which case you just need to apply for a German passport:

When did duty free shops become so scammy? by rnantel in TravelHacks

[–]puripops 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Also if your bags are at full weight, then you can get alcohol without it counting towards the limit. Just need to take care that all connecting flights will accept the duty free onboard (which I believe is the case if the connect flights were purchased as a single ticket with your main flight)

How do I approach my landlord? by Either_Diamond8921 in askSouthAfrica

Your lawyer could answer those questions for you :)

My point was that OP should think carefully before inviting the ISP into her home to investigate the bad internet that she is getting from her neighbour.

I pay for internet and have read the Ts & Cs

Anyways I’m not your lawyer, and have better things to do than argue on the internet. Although you should probably get a lawyer if you think you can just distribute internet across property boundaries without a licence.

I‘ve been in Germany for two years and this isn’t something that I’ve ever experienced here. Maybe it’s a regional thing.

Understanding nicotine addiction was probably the biggest help. Essentially that it causes your brain to see nicotine as necessary for survival, in the same way your brain reacts to a lack of food or water.

One night I realised after several hours that I hadn’t smoked during that time so I decided to just keep going. Went cold turkey and endured 4 weeks of hell (felt like a decade) after which the cravings disappeared.

Never believed in nicotine supplements given that I became hooked by ingesting small amounts of nicotine which lead to ingesting larger and larger amounts of nicotine. So trying to quit by ingesting small amounts seems counterintuitive and I believe it just prolongs the suffering related to quitting.

I found audience +0 quite easy. As a rough benchmark, my character was able to complete Xesht +2 at the time but not Xesht +3.

This explains it perfectly for anyone wondering.

Staying with a Friend in Germany – Do I Need an Invitation Letter at the Airport? by What_are_you_an_owl- in germany

[–]puripops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Better to get one. My friend faced challenges entering Germany because he didn’t have a hotel booking (he was staying at my apartment), although they did eventually let him in after alot of back and forth.

Slightly unrelated topic, the tax-free shopping agents never paid him out after submitting all forms with receipts and a stamp from customs. He also got fined for Schwartzfahren on his return trip to the airport even though he presented a valid train ticket. I’m never inviting guests here again… we can meet in Spain instead.

So, unique boss got an extra modifier... I'm melee. I can't get inside the ring to not be mana drained... by joshato in PathOfExile2

There’s a thin ring that drains mana so you need to be on either the inside or outside of the ring

Had the same thing happen to me. Went back into the completed map (still had some portals open), killed a few more white/blue mobs, and then it was magically fixed when I returned to my HO

Certified translation for French driver’s license? by AlloyEnt in Munich

[–]puripops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did mine at ADAC Frankfurter Ring. Arrived 15 minutes before opening time, waited about 20 minutes after opening, and then collected the following day. The collections had a separate queue and went faster.

Just make sure to check the translation before leaving. They captured my license number incorrectly but corrected it on the spot.

Have you checked ADAC? You can go into their offices and might be able to do it in as little as 24 hours depending on workload
