@gamambel this is bad on every level and you should delete this and probably consider maybe not trying to psychoanalyze every situation. it's creepy and wrong (ethically, and literally). you also fed in a lot of your biases and not nearly enough of the posts of the army person (most of which are […]

@dx I just finished summing up the costs more or less, and it's ~112eur that we paid for each air purifier, for a total cost of ~563eur (excl. cost of filters, PETG, soldering supplies etc). With filters and PETG it'd be around ~157eur/ea. Of all that cost, only ~150eur will need to be spent […]

I was considering filing one for each gift partly as a protest of hamburg's official guidance (unlike NRW which says that if they're small then you shouldn't file but pay attention that you won't exceed the 20k/10yrs).

I think I'll try a combination of this […]

@extralooping Hey, thanks for your reply but according to both Hamburg and the law, I do need to inform even for Schenkung if I stay below the tax free amount (unless it was done in front of a court or notary).
