Target and safe area overlapping
My current mission had a target and a hospital overlapping. Has anyone else seen something like this?

Recommendations of songs like Butterfly
My all time fave Supergrass song is Butterfly. I was wondering if anyone here has any song recommendations from other bands (since I've listened to every Supergrass album a couple of times). Cheers.

~€1300 (or CNY10000) gaming PC, parts from China and Germany
* New build
* Monitor: 1 AOC CU34G4 34 Inch Curved, UW-QHD, 180Hz (DisplayPort 1.4 needed)
* Purpose: Gaming. I play a bit of everything, indie games, AAA games. Can't say that I care too much about having games on ultra, just would like to have a smooth experience
* Countries: I'll be in Taizhou, Jiangsu until 05/09. Not sure where I can find parts here. Then I'll go home to Hamburg, Germany. New to the city, so I'll take any recommendations about stores and such.
* Budget: up to €1300, with some wiggle room, if some specific extra part would make a big difference.
* Wifi or cable: I'd like both, trying to see if I can pull a cable to the gaming room, but that's up to the landlord.
* Size/noise constraints: none
* Color/lighting preferences: no lights and no colors. Don't care about the visuals, so I might as well go with the cheapest option.
* Any other specific needs? Native Bluetooth for my Wii U controllers would be nice.
I'm not sure what would be best to buy here in China compared to Germany.

Tirar carta de condução portuguesa a partir da CNH morando fora de Portugal
Eu sou cidadão português e moro na Alemanha. Pesquisando, vi que Itália, Espanha e Portugal reconhecem a CNH, o que possibilita solicitar a sua troca pela carta de condução equivalente no país.
Pensando em Portugal, pois tenho todos os documentos portugueses e tenho família lá, consigo pedir transferência da minha CNH para uma carta de direção? Alguém fez ou tentou fazer esse processo?

Algo tipo banana prata na Europa/Alemanha?
Muita gente sente falta de arroz, de feijão, farofa e outras coisas da culinária brasileira.
O que mais tenho sentido falta é banana prata. Alguém sabe se vende em algum lugar em Hamburgo, na Alemanha? Ou se há alguma variedade de banana parecida com a banana prata.

Forced to buy two tickets for the same train because of a DB error. Now they refuse to give me a refund.
Update:
They gave me a refund. After the last email I sent (which you can read here), DB responded saying they would give me my money back. I can already see it as a pending payment in Revolut. Thank you for the help everyone.
Original post:
This is the second post I've made about this. To sum up the first post:
- On 14/06 I purchased two tickets from Frankfurt to Hamburg, with an agent on the Frankfurt HBF (so, not online)
- When on the train, on 15/06, the ticket inspector said that my ticket was invalid. He confirmed that I was on the right train, on the right date and time and that it seemed like a DB error.
- I (Portuguese, with a very poor German and on my second time ever in Germany) was given two options: 1- being fined and/or removed from the train on the middle of the night. Or 2- buying another ticket for €309,95, which was literally hand picked by the ticket inspector on my phone.
- I chose the latter, after the inspector said that I would get a refund from DB on my second ticket
- After arriving in Frankfurt, I talked to two different people at DB. I was instructed to fill out a form and send the evidence I had to DB, which I did.
Proof: Picture of the paper ticket. First ticket on the DB App. Picture inside the train. Second ticket I bought. Price of the first ticket.
Since the last post:
Now, I've gone back and forth with DB a few times. Essentially, they're refusing to give me a refund. DB now claims that my original ticket was scanned twice on the same ICE train that night. It indeed was, once before I bought the second ticket and once after. But both times the inspector got an error message on his phone, which he showed to me both times.
Next steps:
I feel like DB is not going to give me my money back. From the very helpful comments on the first post, here are the possibilities I have:
- Asking Revolut for my money back (which is a long shot, having used Revolut)
- Making a complain here: https://schlichtung-reise-und-verkehr.de as suggested by u/Zipferlake
- Contacting the "Federal Railway Authority‘s Passenger Rights Enforcement Body", as suggested by u/felix7483793173
- Looking for arbitration (Das Schlichtungsverfahren), from what I understood, as suggested by u/No_Associate_4528
- Contacting a local politician, specifically Tarek AL-Wazir, which was also suggested by u/No_Associate_4528
- Accept that I lost €309,95
Any advice is appreciated!

Poor German and no payslip yet. Can I rent an apartment?
I'm Portuguese. I recently got hired by a huge company here in Hamburg as an electronics engineer. Net around €3500 My German is very bad, I can only understand very basic German and say some very basic phrases if I think a little.
I moved here last week and I'm staying in a temporary place (I expect a couple of weeks to some months). I'm yet to receive my first payslip, but I have my signed contract.
I'm thinking about signing an immoscout24 plan to speed things up. I also saw that some landlords may request a Schufa. But mine will be empty from what I gathered, since my Portuguese bank data will not be considered.
Under these circumstances, will I be able to rent an apartment? Is there anything else I need? Any advice?

Bought cheap train ticket at the station. It was deemed as invalid and I had to pay 309 euros for another one on the train
Update 1:
For those asking, I talked to two different DB employees over the phone. One of them had no idea what could be happening. She said it could be related to age, reservations, dates and more (none of which make any sense to me). At some point she said it could be related to not having an email linked to the purchase. Sounded like another guess at the time. Nothing useful came from this first phone call.
Second time talking to an employee and she quite quickly thought it could be related to the fact that the DB agent that purchased my ticket didn't associate my email to my ticket. She told me to fill out a form and send it over by email.
I did it. I also added pictures and screenshots of the tickets (first and second), the error screen on the inspector's phone and line I took. They quite quickly responded saying that they wouldn't give me a refund.
Clearly whoever got my email responded without reading it. I sent another email but I'm not too hopeful that DB is going to give me my money back. I'm not sure if there is anything else I can do to compel DB to refund the money they unfairly took from me.
Original post:
I bought a ticket at a train station. Horrible time but cheap ticket.
Later, on the train, when the ticket guy came to see it he said that it was invalid. I paid for with with an international card.
I then had to buy another ticket for 309 euros to not get kicked out of the train or fined.
Has this happened to anyone? What should I do? How to I get my money back?
Edit:
The ticket absolutely is the right one. The ticket guy double checked and said so himself. When he scanned it, it was marked as invalid.
Edit 2:
Here's all the info I can think of:
I booked seats for myself and my father. We bought them at the DB station. Paid by card. We have a receipt. The transaction is shown in my bank history.
We are on the right seats. Second class tickets. When the ticket guy came to scan our tickets he said that it was invalid. Not the wrong train or type of ticket. Not the wrong class or seats. Just "invalid". As if it didn't exist on his end.
I went ahead with the check-in procedure on the DB app with my ticket after the ticket guy came here and it worked as it should. It's now on my DB app and I can see the details of the train I'm on.
But like I said, I have already bought a new ticket, for 307 euros. So I bought two tickets for absolutely no reason.
Edit 3:
Images. Ticket price. Ticket in the DB App. Picture inside the train. Picture of the paper ticket.

Procurando apartamento ou quarto na Alemanha
Vou me mudar para Hamburgo em 20 dias. O plano é ficar em Airbnb por umas semanas e depois alugar um quarto ou apartamento.
Meu emprego está certo, tenho minha via assinada do contrato. Começo a trabalhar dia 01/07. Meu salário mensal vai ser de pelo menos €5500 bruto, mais alguns adicionais, por causa da área e da rotina com muitas viagens.
Eu tenho cidadania europeia (se é que isso ajuda) mas meu alemão é muito básico. Meu inglês é bom.
Eu não sei bem onde procurar imóvel (quais sites) e quais preocupações devo ter. Prefiro um quarto ou apartamento sem mobília. Quaisquer dicas são bem-vindas.

Tenho 23 anos, sou engenheiro eletrônico (formado em julho/2025) e comecei a trabalhar na área offshore no mês seguinte.
Recentemente, vi uma vaga boa mas fora das minhas qualificações. Apliquei no "vamo vê". Fui aprovado milagrosamente, começo a trabalhar 01/07/2026.
- Vou trabalhar em Hamburgo e, considerando adicionais do offshore, meu salário será pouco acima de €80.000/ano bruto, incluindo os adicionais. Trabalho em regime de projeto, não de escala.
- A empresa pede que eu more próximo de Hamburgo. Ocasionalmente tenho que ir ao escritório, mas não é frequente. Mais importante é morar "perto" de um aeroporto. Estou pensando em morar em uma cidade menor, não muito longe de Hamburgo e do aeroporto.
- Sou cidadão austríaco, então não preciso de visto. Sei que preconceito é algo que sempre é mencionado nos posts daqui. E sem dúvida qualquer um que conversar comigo vai saber que não sou alemão. Mas não acho que a minha aparência vai ser problema.
- Meu alemão é básico: estudei há alguns anos e estou retomando agora. Para o emprego preciso apenas de inglês.
- Estou em um relacionamento há 5 anos. Minha namorada é professora e pretende ir futuramente, após aprender alemão. Nesse momento penso em casar com ela com divisão total de bens (ou um equivalente), pra ela poder morar e trabalhar legalmente.
Eu tô bem perdido com essa mudança... É algo que eu sempre quis mas não achei que aconteceria agora na minha vida. Qualquer conselho é bem vindo, mas tenho algumas perguntas específicas:
- Quanto devo gastar com custos básicos, com entretenimento e quanto separo para investir? Como e no que investem na Alemanha? Alguma dica de pra onde levar meu dindin do Brasil pra Alemanha?
- Devo me mudar com quanto tempo de antecedência pra procurar imóvel? Alguma dica pra procura de imóveis, tipo preocupações ou plataformas pra usar/não usar?
- Consigo me virar por alguns meses sabendo só inglês, enquanto aprendo alemão?
- Se algum professor daqui mudou pra Alemanha, como foi essa transição?
Obrigado pela ajuda!
