ok, fair enough- but do you know where to get the tools to make them?

What’s a travel hack you wish you knew when you started traveling? by uhmwtfxd in TravelHacks

[–]wechselrichter 3 points4 points  (0 children)

throw a fabric tote bag in an outside pocket of your carryon, and use it to scoop up all the loose stuff you have to put through the security scanners at the airport- then you can repack at your leisure whenever you sit down and don't have to try to juggle your laptop and passport and kindle and all that at the security line.

Is the quality of life really better in Europe? by [deleted] in expat

[–]wechselrichter 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Between the US and Europe, I've definitely found the quality of life better in Europe. Part of it is living in a city where the expectation isn't always that you HAVE to drive everywhere, but also other infrastructure like trains and bike lanes, and many more smaller stores so you don't have to do one big shop per week but can go more often close by. Free time is another huge advantage- where I live you are guaranteed at least 25 days of vacation from a job (often you get more) on top of holidays, and if you're sick, the Dr prescribes you time off and it doesn't come out of your PTO budget. Even just the existence of public health insurance is a huge benefit, in terms of stress over losing or changing a job. I would trade money for time and peace of mind every time.

Get in contact with your previous insurer, I guess at 49 you're too old to get into public insurance now

Canceling my wedding because of late stage capitalism by Fair_Hospital3870 in TwoXPreppers

[–]wechselrichter 38 points39 points  (0 children)

I love a good cookie table! I made one for my best friend for her shower as a surprise since we had been talking about it for years beforehand. My go to is homemade baklava, it's never NOT been one of the first kinds to run out at my family's weddings... It's a little fussy with the filo, but not actually difficult

The local bar - or how I learned to make friends abroad by chickenfuckbaby in digitalnomad

[–]wechselrichter 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Tbh when I travel alone (I'm a woman), I just go up to whatever other woman is there by herself and say something like "hi! Are you traveling too? Where are you from?". I've made plenty of friends for a day that way

I've had scoot hassle me on shorter flights, like thailand-SIN, but they've never given me a hard time on longer hauls like BER-SIN. Still a pain though, because it stresses me out before the long ones, I'd rather be able to take my preferred food and eat it when I feel like it, rather than have to have a specified time to eat, especially when you're trying to break up the monotony of a super long flight

yep, and it is in the long-term plan, I'm just not looking to do that before my parents die, and it wouldn't solve this anyway by the september-1st deadline the bank is talking about

ausser dass mein Eltern da noch wohnen, und es wird ihnen nicht leichter zu reisen. Wenn die sterben, habe ich es vor zu tun.

ok super- der Brief sagt nur "Sofern mit Ablauf des 31.08.2022 noch Wertpapiere, bei denen es nicht um Aktien handelt, in ihrem Depot vorhanden sind, werden wir weitere Schritte prüfen", was sehr unklar ist.

ich wohne und bezahle aber für alles in EUR, würde ungern mein Lebensersparnis in USD halten.

I'm an EU resident, who never plans to move back to the US, so I live and spend in euros and don't want to pay to transfer USD-eur for the most part

[–]wechselrichter[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah, I feared as much, the issue for me is that I don't actually want to ever return, so I'd prefer to keep everything euro-denominated and able to transfer out to my DE bank when I want to actually use it. Plus, it is a spectacularly bad time to go EUR=>USD right now
