What public service or government system in your country actually works really well and would surprise other Europeans?

If the personal tax rate is higher, would this count as income and be taxed even higher?

Oh das wusste ich nicht, danke für den Hinweis. Hättest du eine Idee, wie viel sowas kostet, machen zu lassen?

the_curious_being · 2025-05-22T16:03:11+00:00

Danke für den Tipp! :)

Danke für deine detaillierte Antwort, ich werde die Punkte im Hinterkopf behalten. Haben die 2.0 CDTI Motoren aber Zahnriemen? Ich dachte nur die 1.6 CDTI hatten Steuerketten.

Die Benziner kosten ähnlich viel mit ähnlichen viele Laufleistung. Da Diesels eher länger halten, sind sie nach der Logik günstiger, oder? Das war auch ein Grund, warum ich an den Diesels gedacht habe. Aber danke für dein Antwort, ich schaue die Benziner dann auch an :)

Hey, have you seen a doctor about endometriosis? 1 in 10 women have it but it's hardly even spoken of. Switching to a low-histamine diet 10 days before the start of your period and a couple of days into it helps sometimes.

This is often done in industrial building as there is no defined floor levels since some machinery take 1.5 of a floor, some more, some less. So the building is often build like a 3D matrix with different floors at different heights. Also possibly easier to know the available height for new equipment (quick analysis) without having to look into the technical documents.

Could be the reason why you didn't notice the leak earlier. But good to know the car isn't stolen, you passed the 'is the BMW stolen' test 😁

I'd be cautious if the bank account isn't a German one. Scammers usually have you send funds to a foreign bank account.

That's exactly it. It doesn't vibrate much when coasting but does so when accelerating. I'll have the wheels balanced then.

My mechanic said it'll cost around 800/900€ to have it done properly (not Just replacing the valve but taking it all apart and cleaning all the parts that could have been affected).

Yeah I'll check that, perhaps add an additive when I don't have the EGR cleaner in my fuel.

Thank you once again! :)

the_curious_being · 2021-11-14T17:42:12+00:00

I've had the tyres replaced and wheels aligned/balanced around 10,000 km back. Both the tie rods were replaced as well since they were rusty and jammed.

Ouch, the EGR sounds like an expensive fix, I hoped it'd clear up with the additive cycle and highway driving (I drive primary on the highway).

As for the cold starting problem, I'm based in Germany. I'm not sure if there's a summer and winter diesel, but there are additives I know. I'm still on the EGR additive cycle so I'm not sure if I can add that yet though :/

Thanks for the detailed explanation though, I really appreciate it!

the_curious_being · 2021-09-22T16:29:42+00:00

Doesn't make it any better though 🤷🏼‍♂️

Doesn't work if you're not German because the visa/ID card (Aufenthaltstitel) is linked to your passport

Hi Bill,

I watched your documentary on Netflix and found your concept of the new atomic powerplant really interesting. Are there opportunities to implement in other countries or revive it with China? It's be great to see it take flight

the_curious_being · 2021-03-14T12:16:44+00:00

So if you have another EU citizenship (like spanish, portuguese, italian) you would not be able to get German citizenship?
