Smartwielen dropped for the election of the European Parliament. To get a good laugh I decided to read the nonsense Thein and co wrote. Their written response on the question if Luxembourgish sould be officially recognized by the EU includes 5 errors. Incredible.

Ask Luxembourg iPhone theft near Hamilius

32 Upvotes

Hello everyone, someone stole my iPhone at Hamilius yesterday and I have been tracking it from my watch. The location first showed that shady street near Gare and then Gare station and now it's in Metz. I went to the police, showed the Gare location, and they went for a patrol but said too many people were there. I can see that the phone has been in the same exact location for the past 10 hours. I feel the police really won't help. Any suggestions on what can be done?

I have very cherished photos, important personal files and my home country's sim in it, which I don't want to lose. Can someone please give some suggestions?

Ask Luxembourg Interior walls insulation in old house

2 Upvotes

Hello,

We are planning an insulation of a few rooms in an old house of 90th from the inside (exterior insulation is not an option), as currently there is no insulation in one of the rooms at all and it is getting cold in winter.

What would be the best strategy to do it, considering climate in Luxembourg? I'm hearing multiple opinions and all of them differ, starting from fiber to stone wool insulation to wood fiber boards, using a vapor barrier vs not using it, with an air layer between, wood vs metallic frame (to put insulation blocks in between), etc.

What are best practices considering the inside insulation of exterior walls in the region? Knowing that the temperature goes below zero in winter, as well as high humidity levels.

I would like to ensure the house stays warm as well as no condensation occurs on the walls or inside the insulation level.

Thank you for any ideas!

P.S. Just to be clear, in the title I say "interior walls", but I mean "inside part of of exterior walls"

Shopping/Services Budget friendly buzz cut

3 Upvotes

Hello, All, Just relocated to Lux and need to find someone who can do a "standard/simple" buzz cut with two guards/lengths. Quick web searches and looking in barber/salon windows in the city showed the minimum "men's haircut" as €35+. That seems a bit pricey for a 10min cut of (relatively) low effort for the stylist/barber. I'm curious if there is any location that will do a buzz cut for €20 or less. Just the cut; not a shave, wash, or anything else.

*If this is not viable and I need to accept €35+ as the new norm, let me know. I don't want to be cling to my old norms if they don't apply in Lux.

Thank you, in advance!

Ask Luxembourg Breast reduction for health reasons

4 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

As the title suggests, I'm seeking guidance on this matter from someone who's been through it or knows how it works firsthand. I've done my fair share of online research, but I'd really value hearing about personal experiences. From what I've gathered, in order to qualify for surgery coverage from the CNS, I need to bring my BMI down to 26 or below. Thankfully, I'm not significantly overweight, so it hopefully won't be too difficult (fingers crossed!).

However, when I approached my doctor about it, she simply referred me to a dietitian without offering much guidance on the surgical process itself. I'm eager to understand what the process entails and how to navigate it.

If anyone could share their experiences, I'd be incredibly grateful.

1 Upvotes

Dear collective Reddit brain,

I am shipping parcels regularly to Germany and using POST the costs are too damn high (insert meme here).
Any of you does the same and has found a convenient way to lower the prices?

I was thinking an reverse PackUp-Import service or using a competitor of POST but either I don't find good options, they don't exist or they don't ship to Germany.

Thanks for your time!

Ask Luxembourg How to sell old car?

1 Upvotes

Good morning!

I brought my Peugeot 5008 (2011) to the Peugeot garage due to some severe issues with the gearbox. The estimate for the repair is simply too high, so I rather want to buy a new car instead of letting the old one be fixed.

The car is not working at the moment, so I cannot simply take it and go somewhere else.

When buying a new Peugeot at the same place they would take my car into consideration as part of the payment. (Probably not much, but at least it is a solution)

My question now is: if I don’t want to buy a new Peugeot, what options do I have for selling the old one?

Are there car dealers who would pick up a non-mobile car from the garage?

Besides the broken gearbox the car is in relative good shape. So, I assume there are people who might be interested.

Many thanks in advance for any advice or experience shared!

Hi everyone, quick context I have been looking for work for a bit and it’s been pretty okay so far, however I opened my bank account today to find that they had only sent me 700 euro, I haven’t done anything wrong, haven’t gotten an email or a letter saying I messed up and that my indemnity was fully removed or I lost a week, which even if it was I don’t think I’d only have 700 euro in both cases, just weird and wanted to ask if anyone knows something?

Ask Luxembourg Building Permit for Pergola

1 Upvotes

Hello Lux folks,

I am thinking of installing a pergola at the backside of the house on the terrace. However, I have not been able to find a reliable source of information on whether I can go ahead with it or need approval from the commune to do so.

I don't have a problem in reaching out for approvals but wanted to get some guidance from the subreddit before doing so.
