Dortmund airport administration personnel here? Why does this happen?

Dortmund airport administration personnel here? Why does this happen?

I've never lived in Dortmund, but have visited it at least a couple of times per year since 2024.

Having been to over 90 countries and hundreds of airports, I've never seen this anywhere else in the world:

Why are aircraft at DTM most of the times "parked backwards"?

(only replies from people who actually know what they're talking about, please)

Vielen dank!

Question for Accountants - EU seaman

Dear Lithuanian accountants/tax lawyers:

Consider the following scenario: a EU citizen who spends 6-8 months onboard, 1,5 to 2 months shoreside. He wants to settle down, have a small place to call "home", store his belongings and so on. He is single and childfree.

If he chose Lithuania to live: found a studio, signed a rental contract, then he went to Migracija and based on his savings, he obtained a residency permit.

Considering this person will most likely be away for 183+ days each year, will he be a tax resident? And if yes, what then? By obtaining a residency permit, is he already given a Lithuanian TIN (tax identification number) , or will he need to proactively go to some tax office and sign up?

Note: at no point will this EU citizen perform paid work, or have any kind of income in Lithuania.

Not sure if it's too late to ask this: does anyone know for sure if sleeping in a van is allowed inside the festival grounds?

Obrigado!

MVNO no Brasil é impossível?

Pessoal, alguém do meio sabe como funciona MVNO no Brasil? No geral, porque na prática só existe uma mesmo, a Correios.

Na minha opinião, e comparando com o mercado super desregulado como os dos países europeus, telefonia móvel no Brasil e também nos países vizinhos é basicamente uma roubalheira.

Como é possível que existindo três operadoras e uma MVNO, a gama de alternativas de pacotes de telefonia móvel é algo extremamente restrito?

Um exemplo se você quiser ter um número, pagando um mínimo por mês basicamente só para receber, isto é impossível. Ou aquela pessoa que precisa de internet ilimitada no celular, isto também não existe.

Estou falando de modalidades pré-pagas, para esclarecer. Pós pago é um pouco melhor e controle nada mais é que um "pós pago que você paga antes".

Tenho acima de tudo muita curiosidade de saber quanto uma operadora oficial cobra, para vender pacotes a uma hipótetica MVNO. E se não é por isso, qual é a razão que inviabiliza a existência de mais MVNOs no Brasil

Transfer from card to ACH

I get paid in USD into a debit card, which charges fees for everything, so I usually transfer any monies straight into my Revolut (top up USD account within Revolut using the debit card number), at zero fees.

I'd like to use Wise instead, but using card as a top up method incurs a fee of USD 15-20 (proportional to the amount.

Can you think of any app where I can send a USD transfer to my Wise using its ACH details, for the minimum possible fee?

Western Union, for example, charges USD 9 in fees, if I want to transfer USD 1200 to an ACH account.

EDIT: Silly me, forgot to say this important bit: I am not a US person, do not have US bank accounts (ACH is provided by Wise), both my Wise and Revolut are EU-based. Therefore, I do not hold a US current account and cannot have one (for the time being)

Alguém consegue ajudar com dicas ou indicações de médicos ou clínicas particulares, nas capitais do Rio ou São Paulo? Saberiam indicar preços?

Especialmente interessado em em médicos bons mas que também não cobrem um absurdo "só para saber o preço" ou "consulta de avaliação"

Se você foi paciente e passou por este procedimento, agradeço por suas opiniões

Obrigado

Translating your driving license - Chengdu

Chengdu is my last city on a 8-week China trip, and I'd like to visit some places around the city by car.

Has anybody here successfully managed to translate a foreign driving license? At which company and for how much?

Subtitling.

For some reason subtitling on capcut used to be free for me, but it's not anymore

Do you have any tips for a free or cheap subtitling software that works on laptop, and as easy to use as possible?

Yanjin, Yunnan (aka. "narrowest town in the world)

More precisely Yanjinzhen. First two. The others are from the bus Zhaotong - Yanjin. Took the 11 oclock from Zhaotong South Passenger Terminal.

There is a daily train from Zhaotong whose ticket can only be bought at Zhaotong station, but you can buy to Shuifu and get off at Yanjin North. Today and tomorrow 's train have been cancelled both ways "due to weather", as per notice affixed solely at Yanjin North station (not in Zhaotong).

I flew into Zhaotong. No idea about trains from/to anywhere else.

If you're travelling Northbound like I am, Yibin is the closest bullet train station, so my hotel arranged for a minivan to collect me from the door, direct to Yibin.

Been photographed by police twice today, after 7 weeks in the country. WTF?

I decided to visit Yanjin, Yunnan. I didn't fancy the 10-hour bus from Kunming so I flew in to Zhaotong airport which is the closest airport.

The train I was going to catch was a little bit weird because it sold tickets Zhaotong - Shuifu which is after my final destination, so I bought the ticket and I was just going to get off at Yanjin. When I arrived at the train station this morning the train was canceled. The ticket counter employee didn't help much so I went to ask for help to a Police guy, very friendly btw. After 15 minutes talking to this police guy his colleague came and took a picture of us. After lots of Google translating I ve realized my best option would be catching the bus.

I came to the Zhaotong bus station and bought a ticket to Yanjin. (Also very friendly) police guy at the metal detector took a picture of me and my passport.

Is it because nobody visits this town that police all of a sudden have an interest in me?

is it the same situation as on

Jinkouhe Water highway

Any way to confirm whether this road sector is fully operational or not?

Has anyone here been there? Is it easy to find a taxi driver willing to take us for a ride?
