Germany - Deutschland, but in English

The defendants and their families are barred from mentioning the case. If they do, prison staff end the meeting immediately.

"We really don't know anything because we're not able to discuss, support or advise our family members," she said.

So far, my ire at the Merz cabinet has primarily been focused on Katherina Reiche. But then I discovered that Wolfram Weimer is truly horrible, too.

Roman aka Der8auer, owner/founder of Thermal Grizzly products, got scammed out of €40.000 by placing raw material orders in China and has made this video to alert people to be more aware that these kinds of situations can happen.

Then you might think, ok, what about legal action right?

You try to get your money back somehow in China, but the chances of success for this in China is super low.

Like for a German company doing something in China like this; it's almost impossible that you will succeed and it will cost you a lot more time and money.

I was applying for a senior backend engineer job in this european startup in the healthcare sector.

I passed through 4 rounds of 1 hour interviews. Everyone was telling me this company is remote first, nobody works at the office.

Contract type is as remote on linkedin.

The offer arrived, 80k euros. They are very reluctant in giving the contract to me so I can proceed with the bureaucracy regarding blue card and job change before 12 months.

The contract arrives and it's full of traps:

• They can require work on weekends and holidays with no notice
• There isn't a single mention to remote working on the contract
• They can relocate me to any place with a 2 months notice
• HR refused to add remote clause on the contract

To make it even worse, they were processing my emails through an undisclosed AI tool using chatgpt, in which I've sent my personal documents.

Avoid these traps like hellfire.

Company name is Recare.

It's a "nationwide" strike on local public transport across Germany on Friday and Saturday. Union "Verdi" put out a call to strike on all employees affected by the current negotiations for "öffentlicher Nahverkehr".

If you rely on local public transport to reach your destinations on Friday and Saturday you better check beforehand if your connection is affected.

Not every company that offers public transport falls under the current negotiations. Even if you're using a connection that is not affected but other local connections are or you're using another way of transport, please keep in mind that you might still experience inconveniences because people will have to switch to alternative transportation.

Services from Deutsche Bahn itself should not be affected. Lower Saxony is still under peace obligation and exempt.

Going by the info in the article the decision whether to join the strike is still pending for Hamburger Hochbahn, Verkehrsbetriebe Hamburg-Holstein, and Providers in Baden-Württemberg.

Everyone is protecting the perpetrators! - Everyone is ignoring the victims!

The link has even more floats, as well as Tilly's (the artist) original concept drawings.

This is such a crazy offer I had to come post about it.

It works like this:

1. Buy the Probe BC25 Gold (20 euros for 2nd class, 40 euros for 1st class). Remember to cancel the BahnCard immediately after buying it! Don't bother with Probe BC50 unless you really need it.
2. Pray that Germany wins gold. The German team have won 10+ golds for the past 3 winter Olympics so this is like the easiest lottery ever.
3. The next day, get free travel everywhere in Germany when you show the Probe BC Gold. Yes, this includes ICE. No, it does not include trains not operated by DB (e.g. Flixtrain - I am confirming with DB whether trains with BC acceptance is included e.g. SBB) If anybody has any tips on getting push notifications for German wins please leave it below.

I asked DB on Instagram and they confirmed that if you get a 1st class Probe BE25 Gold, you can travel in 1st class for free the next day.

Offer ends 5th Feb so you're interested, get it now. If you're buying it today (4th Feb), you can set it to be valid on the 5th.

Also, remember to cancel the BahnCard immediately after buying it!

Jacques Tilly's carnival floats mocking Vladimir Putin have landed him before a Moscow court. As the trial drags on, the Dusseldorf-based satirist has denounced the charges as an assault on freedom of expression.

Tilly is not in Russia. The trial is held in his absence.

However, Infineon ignored questions about which countries components might be passing through before reaching Russia and with which national authorities it cooperates during sanctions evasion investigations.
