re: Invented Atrocities on 10/7
Posted by chris44gwlsu on 1/25/24 at 6:10 am
If you have Telegram, look up the chat 'South First Responders' if you want to see unedited proof of some of the stuff. I don't want to link it because I don't know if the rules on here allow linking to such gruesome stuff. It's sick. Most is from Hamas' own body cameras that they used along with se...

I live in Berlin and now that I read this, I wonder if that happened here. I don't remember seeing Pepsi products the last few times I was in my Kaufland grocery store. Next time I'm there, I will pay attention to see if this is so....
re: Latest Updates: Russia-Ukraine Conflict

The light skinned lady in the back is the one who said Ukraine. She's the one who came up to me and showed me the paper. It's a point where I get asked a lot where the Bürgeramt (citzen office) is. That wasn't the building we went to. I spoke to her in german and she shook her head no. Then I said "...
re: Latest Updates: Russia-Ukraine Conflict
Posted by chris44gwlsu on 11/8/23 at 4:18 am
Just thought I'd share a quick story. I live in Berlin. I was walking this morning to work, and a family from the Ukraine approached me needing help finding a goverment building. All they had was an address from a google print out but their phone didn't work well (internet) and they couldn't speak a...
re: Tax Spinoff: The UK has a TV license fee
Posted by chris44gwlsu on 8/4/23 at 6:15 am
You pay something similar in Germany. I've lived in Berlin for 5 years. I recently learned this the hard way. I had to pay a back payment of 792 euros! I love living here but all my mistakes seem to cost soo much :lol:

re: Live abroad for a year+, how would you set up TV watching?
Posted by chris44gwlsu on 7/11/23 at 4:59 am
Thanks, glad to help. For Netflix, I don't use a VPN connection. I haven't noticed any real difference in selection options. I get suggested German movies sometimes because I guess I'm physically in Germany with a German IP. There hasn't been anything that I've wanted to watch that wasn't available ...

I have lived in Berlin for almost 5 years now. Here's just a few of the things that I do.
1. ESPN Player - This works without VPN internationally. It let's you watch all sporting events on any ESPN related network. This includes replays and of course live events. It costs $13.99/month but general...
re: Dog just had a seizure
Posted by chris44gwlsu on 11/4/22 at 5:00 am
I just wanted to share with you my experience with our dog and seizures. We had a shitzu. When he was 2 he had his first seizure. We panicked and brought him to the overnight vet at 10pm. All the vet did was give him a valium IV and we picked him up in the morning. It costs us $500 (he only cost $42...
re: How to watch SEC football in England
Posted by chris44gwlsu on 8/3/22 at 7:03 am
If you are willing to pay, you can use the ESPN Player app. It will get you everything they have on all the ESPN channels (this includes SEC Network). It costs $13.99/month. This app only works outside of the US. I live in Berlin and use it.
Here is the link in the iOS app store. I'm sure there i...

[quote]Every other country has moved on[/quote]
I live in Berlin and I laugh at how they treat it now. We're not as open as the US right now, but it's amazing what a war does. For 2 years they basically shut the country down when it was around 60-80 per 100,000. The news everyday was about Corona...

5G speeds in Berlin on iPhone 12 pro
Posted by chris44gwlsu on 5/20/21 at 7:57 am
I live in Berlin (Adlershof area to be exact) and today was the first time I connected to 5G. I wanted to share the speed experience. My provider is Vodafone and I have the iPhone 12 pro.
The slower speed is from inside my office which I believe is about .75 miles from the tower. The faster speed...
re: If you are white, how much experience do you have actually dealing with black people?
Posted by chris44gwlsu on 4/22/21 at 6:26 am
My neighborhood and schools growing up were 35% black people. I've personally known several people that were murdered by black people including a friend in 12th grade that was shot point-blank as you can read in this article.

re: Bought kickstarter watch now delayed
Posted by chris44gwlsu on 12/30/20 at 3:08 am
Yes. This has to be one of the biggest Kickstarter scams ever. Maybe 2% of the people got something and the ‘company’ walked away with 1.1 million of everyone’s money. Thieves.
