This is solid advice, although in my case it has been a ticket without Zugbindung, as it has been for a work trip.

I got reimbursed 25% one time last year, but had several trips where the delay annoyingly just stayed a few minutes below the magic 1hr mark. :-)

Feeling the need to state “they are closer to Antifa than anything else” about your opponents might be a good point to rethink your ethics…

Wow, that must be the most frustrating feeling ever.
“Your halt has been canceled today…”

Return voyage working out much better, so l am happy again! :-)

Yes, seatbelts and comfortable seats.
Definitely an improvement to the Regionalexpress!

Sadly a thing of the past…

Celebrating sounds very Italian… We Germans just share some sarcastic comments with our fellow travellers. :-)

What happened […]?

The long term effects of privatization and decades of car centric politics.

Or the Swiss.

You can imagine I gave up and did not go.

Not an option for me, mandatory appointment.

But something similar happened for as with your buses, but fortunately in a good way:
The preceding ICE was even more delayed, so I was able to catch that one instead. :-)

There was a bus substitute on one of my routes some time ago.
Turned out it was faster than the train because it took the Autobahn.
First time in my life arriving 20 mins early at that destination…

So we are still not worst?
I guess that’s… uplifting?

It certainly should be here by now.

But I still value the work ethics of the ICE personal very much.

It’s not their fault that their employer isn’t able to coordinate procedures efficiently…

I am confident that there is still growth potential along the remaining route!

Let me tell you about me once trying to get from Mainz to Nürnberg some time…

Oh no, 8-bit is back again… 🫣

Wow, didn’t think about it this way…

But for me: Hell, yeah! Added bonus!

Signals the primeval parts of your brain:
“Here you have to fight to survive the horrors of the pleistocean ice shield!”

Or, after changing the room:
“This is your dimly fire-lid cave, here you are save to relax!”

Whale oil gang unite!

Edgy Milieu-Romane vermutlich.

Ich kenne es nur aus der alltäglichen Umgangssprache, aber eigentlich eher “Assi-Deutsch”, weil nicht abwertend gegenüber Türkischstämmigen.

Exactly.

Changing the lights in the office room to the brightest daylight variant I could find and adding an additional 5000 Lux desk lamp during winter months was a gamechanger for focus and productivity.

Still enjoy the warm glow of the living room lights in the evening, though.

Bei mir geht’s auch.
