A few of the meals that I have cooked over the last few weeks for my wife. This will probably be the last cooking I will do for a while. Her Mom is flying over from Canada and will stay with us for a year now that the baby is born. I assume she will take over the kitchen.
My landlord asked me to check the water metres under the sink. When I went I have a look, I noticed the main water taps look like they are overgrown with minerals or mould. What the heck is this?
Haven’t had as much time to cook or Reddit now that the baby is due in three weeks. Some excerpts from last week:
Mahicheh polo (with ox tail), ash-e reshteh, felfel dolme, and more lavashak with the last of the sour cherries and a mixture of plums from the market.
Ghaimeh for lunch with a summery coleslaw.
The bademjoon is scheduled for Mirza ghasemi
I had some clothing that I wasn't wearing anymore that I wanted to donate to my local Oxfam. The woman doing Spenden intake rejected most of it on the basis that she doesn't recognise the brand and they weren't made in the EU. What I tried to donate and rejected were:
-Brooks Brothers Golden Fleece Suits (Italian wool; made in the USA)
-Allen Edmond's Mora 2.0 Monk Strap shoes (made in the USA)
-Kamakura Shirts 3-Ply Cotton Oxfords (made in Japan)
-J Crew Women's T-shirts (made in USA)
-J Crew Women's Cardigans (made in USA)
-Cardinal of Canada Parka (made in Montréal)
Everything was in great condition. They were just victims of my summer closet cleaning or me ,quite frankly, getting a bit too fat in the case of the Kamakura shirts. Is there a policy that they have so I know for next time? When I was going through the review of the clothing with the woman she repeatedly said 'Nicht in Europa gestellt,'.
I was an early Snapdragon adopter with the Surface Pro 11 launch. Unfortunately for me, it just could not do what I needed it to do. In particular, it struggled with:
The latter was the most glaring issue. DxO utilised my M3 MacBook Air's NPU to do the processing, and so it provided quite fast exports with no fan noise. Snapdragon, in contrast, used the Adreno iGPU, which we all know was not the most performant. Combined with running DxO through emulation, it was glacial.
Has anyone tried DxO with the second generation Snapdragon CPUs?
I was on AC 841 from FRA to YYZ yesterday. After a short wait at carousel 8, I heard my name called over the PA to come to the Air Canada desk. I was informed that my luggage was delayed and I should file a luggage claim. I filled out the paper work for my two missing bags, left security and went to get my rental car.
I got my rental car and started driving to my parent’s house. The Air Canada app sent me a notification, but I did not check as I was driving. Upon reaching my parent’s house, I checked the Air Canada app and it said one of my bags was ready for pick-up on carousel 8. Shit I thought, I wasn’t there to get it, but they would probably collect it and send it to me.
The baggage courier called me today and said they were bringing one of my bags. Okay, weird, where’s the other one I thought? Maybe still en route from Frankfurt? I received the bag today and I’m a bit perplexed. Bag #0014478417 was delivered by the courier, but the Air Canada app shows it’s still ‘Delayed: in transit’. Meanwhile, the bag I don’t have—#0014476676–shows as ‘File closed. Delivered by the courier’. At the same time, the app states the next step is ‘We’re working on getting your bag back to you’.
Seriously, what the heck is going on? I tried calling the Air Canada Baggage Support line, but it’s just an automated voice menu with no option to speak to a human. I’m at my wits end here. I am flying back to Frankfurt on Sunday evening and have no clothes and no clue what to do. Should I just buy new clothes and a suitcase?
I am writing this on the off chance that the people who are doing this read this subreddit. I live in a flat that fronts onto the Rhein in Mainz. I have noticed several times now that people walking by will stare at me when I am out grilling on my terrace. While this is weird, I understand there is nothing that can be done about this. Recently, this has escalated to people taking pictures of me and in one instance, someone flying a drone directly in front of my flat. Please stop doing this. Or at the very least, if you are going to do this, say something to me. I feel like that I and my family are being treated like some zoological exhibit.
I have been searching and cannot find an answer anywhere. Does the BE550 support WoL? If so, is it in the Tether app? I cannot seem to find the option anywhere.
I tried searching their website, but cannot find a clear answer. We finished our beverages, and have returned the empty bottles at various points at REWE. We now have six empty crates in our flat. Can these be returned at any Pfand machine that accepts crates, or only directly to Flaschenpost?
Edit: Thanks for the responses! I was afraid that I was going to be locked into an order/return cycle with Flaschenpost.
My wife has never been to Berlin and we are planning to head up for the coming long weekend. She is 20 weeks pregnant, so I am trying to keep it easy going and avoid night life things.
She really likes seeing landmarks and doing fun experiences (she loooooooved TeamLabs Tokyo). I am more of a relax, enjoy the vibes of the neighbourhood, and take pictures of really cool architecture kind of guy.
Day 1 (May 14)
-Arrive at hotel near Checkpoint Charlie around 13:00-14
-Jewish Cemetery Memorial
-Brandenburger Tor
-Admire the Reichstag from the outside, since getting last minute tickets is highly unlikely
-Spend the night over by Nikolaiviertel / Alexanderplatz / Fernsehturm
Day 2 (May 15)
-Hit Museum Island, take in the beautiful architecture, and spend some time visiting one museum
-East Side Gallery
-Berlinische Galerie
-Chill out somewhere cool in the evening?
Day 3 (May 16)
-Tiergarten, walk around Charlottenberg, and head home around 14 or 15?
Are there any cool experiences or places to check out? I am in particular drawing a blank on what to do at the end of Day 2 and Day 3.
Thanks in advance for your help!
Does anyone know the difference between the M2 Pro and M2SE Pro? I cannot find any information, nor even on the Hisense website. All I can tell is the M2SE Pro has a different coloured exterior.
