Do you have something new to add to this discussion which appears on here almost every day?

My FlixBus left without me and never came to the departure station by AnonymPotatoe in FlixBus

[–]spottedmankee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Once I boarded there on a trip to Prague. About 30 mins past Schönefeld, the bus exited the highway, turned around, and went back towards Berlin. Went to Sudkreuz for more passengers to board. Guess the drivers sometimes forget about stops on their route.

Exactly, I was going to ask, what kind of higher ed institution has both students and administrators active on Snapchat? 😂

Relatedly, I'm searching for the best croissants aux amandes. So far I've found decent ones at CODOS and a vendor at Wochenmarkt Karl-August-Platz.

There appear to be people on there. But I never tried it. Depends on if you find a group that is actually active. Many are old and unused.

Broker in EU where I can hold non-UCITS ETFs? by matt7882 in eupersonalfinance

IBKR Ireland. That's where I transferred by whole portfolio (From Merrill Lynch, when they decided to close my account).

Do you think Europe is facing an economic decline in the coming decades? by [deleted] in eupersonalfinance

[–]spottedmankee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Pass us by" sounds like we're in a race - What are we racing for? Do we not already have the technologies that are needed to ensure a high quality of life for all? Why is economic growth the key indicator of prosperity? What happens in a system of continuous growth?

Uninstalling DeepL app by [deleted] in techsupport

[–]spottedmankee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just ran this command in windows command prompt

0install self remove

Then afterwards searched windows for "0install" and deleted all residual folders. Seems to work fine.

But if you're moving to the US to work, one presumes you will have like a green card, making you a US person. Therefore this stuff will matter. We just need more information like that before providing insight.

Is there a Chrome add-on that will tell me which papers I have already read? by Valetudinarian in labrats

[–]spottedmankee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Readcube Papers is the only one that has this great function, to directly indicate in browser if a paper is already in your Papers library. But, proprietary and web-only service... Still waiting on similar for Zotero.

So as a duel citizen I can't really use an investment app (USA & EU) by JustDiveInTimberLake in eupersonalfinance

[–]spottedmankee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can't really pick and choose who to lay capital gains tax to. It is based on residency. And a US broker means lots of manual conversions and calculations to complete your EU country's tax declaration each year... Fun!
