LOL Where I was living there were a few cars, but the only ones who would complain about parking and driving were the US Americans. The rest of us, including Germans, would simply shrug and carry on.

Even if normally they were driving even to go around the corner. ?

Road rage in USA is pretty high

Pretty much!

Looks like I learnt my neighbours' ways correctly, uh? Now I need to learn the language and I'm good to go.

We'll talk about that in 20 years in german xD

If they're anything like the ones in DE, I can imagine so.

Ye, while we prefer a close parking spot walking a 100m is just "whatever".

While in the USA everyone has a garage by now. xD

Geez, no. I won't wait 20 years. I'll get bored in the meantime ?

@Wolfshappen How far are the equinix datacenters from you?

Might be going to one soon

In the town I was, most cars were outside. But most people don't own a car, they use whatever transport is at hand. I saw people renting Smarts and similar electric cars to go to downtown, and others renting them for holidays or special trips. Electric cars are getting popular in Stuttgart from what I saw.

@Wolfshappen How far are the equinix datacenters from you?

Eh, Munich, one hour away by train.

(But i know someone over there xD)

Ah, shame

I think that's general attitude in Germany. If something it's not actually a problem that prevents you from (doing something), Germans simply shrug and carry on. Tons of snow on your car? Clean the window and start the machine. Tree leafs on your vehicle? Well, that's what trees do in autumn, right? Carry on that is late. This street is under construction? Take the other one. It's almost impossible to drive a certain place? Go walking. The place has no parking? Go biking.

Indeed.

As long as we get there on time the "how" is less important. xD

One of my main reasons to love Germany.

Thse parking attitude is better than where I live, where people would leave the cars wherever and then go all "but mr officer, its just for a short time"...

In germany thats allowed in most places actually.

To unload stuff from your vehicle.

Here as well, but not on grass for example

LOL I've seen that many times. "I just went for a coffee!" (and a sandwich, and a talk with the casheer, and the newspaper, and...) They cut that putting machines in the old city (Montevideo, Uruguay), so you can't argue. The ticket shows clearly the time and there is no way around it. Unless you have a collection of stickers and cards with dates and times for every occasion. Or a machine of your own to produce tickets at will. ?

What the... Do people actually park on the grass?

Like on a park or a square?

What the... Do people actually park on the grass?

Yeah, thats why when youre in Poland youll see many grass patches with little stones or stuff that makes driving inside impossible

Like on a park or a square?

Well okay, the actual parks are safe as they have some higher greens like small bushes

Oh. I thought it was simply a careless city hall that didn't bother to replace the grass....

Not really, usually youve got bushes or stones put there on purpose so you cant leave your car there

The funny thing is how the misdemeanor is called "destroying the greens", but when the grass is already destroyed by people leaving their cars then you can't get the ticket as there's no grass to destroy ?

Well okay, the actual parks are safe as they have some higher greens like small bushes

Yeah, but still. That's worse than in Uruguay. Over there people don't park on the grass. It would be like parking on the sidewalk. They do park in awkward places and blocking all sort of entrances, and in such a way that provokes a traffic jam, and in places that are explicitely forbidden to park.... but not on the grass or on sidewalks.

But yeah, I'm one of those who would never park in a place where it's not obviously allowed

Parking on the sidewalks is forbidden here if you won't leave 1.5m for the pedestrians, and people usually don't do that that much

Well, I'm not aware that is forbidden. But people leaving their cars on the sidewalks will get angry neighbours to annoy them, so it's not customary. It is a bad habit, and a hard to get rid of too, to park in corners, blocking entrances and in streets that are far too narrow.

All of that is actually forbidden and the police can step in.

You can even call a company to remove the car on the owners money if parked that wrong for long times.

That rule about leaving space to pedestrians exists in Montevideo but related to bars and restaurants, @michalrud They used to cover the whole place with chairs and tables and it was impossible to pass, so they established that rule so people can walk through.

Here drivers know, that pedestrians carry home keys And home keys leave nasty scratches

Germany ❤️

In Uruguay, it's not the Police job to look after traffic and parking issues. It's a city force that specific to that. And they only work in the city centre, the rest of the city is pretty much no man's land.

We simply have both. xD

Police drives trough streets at random all the time.

Wow. That was agressive. Here often kick the car to set the alarm off. Or ring at the nearest door to complain about the car. Unless you live in the outskirts. If so, you'd better keep your complains for yourself, people is quite violent over there.

Like, if you don't get caught, you get caught ?

As a side note, the first time I saw the police driving around randomly, I felt uneasy because in LATAM the police is a danger by itself. 90% of cases, at least. After a month or so, I got used and didn't bother me anymore. But I know people who can't get used to that.

Yeah, I don't like the vigilante mentality to be honest ? I just call city guards

And that's what 99% of people do, but it's enough to get one a*hole, you know

Yeah, I don't like the vigilante mentality to be honest ? I just call city guards

Well, I used to walk around the car. I don't want to get in a row with anyone, and normally those cars on the sidewalk don't stay for long, just a couple of hourse.

And that's what 99% of people do, but it's enough to get one a*hole, you know

Yeah, I know. One is enough to kick the pot.

Is there a Hacker News-like resource with actually useful comments?

And preferrably where they don't post political stuff

At least not about American politics

I'm so tired of this shit

arstechnica, if you ignore the comments. xD

Because everytime S*it Pie will blow some hot air it'll devulge into "your fault for voting trump".

But else its pretty good.

Sometimes I feel like I should learn another language to have access to the local tech resources

Maybe they will be less cancerous ?
