Hey, I see a few of the comments regarding my ashes points are being deleted and I don't know why. If you posted a comment about that I am so sorry but it has most likely been deleted.
Long story short: Just tell us if u think it's ok to charge drunk people on a bike. I mean: it is not punishable to kill yourself. And bikes do not kill other people regularly.
@@allein1001 y obv. But the danger sich lower, even If ur Dog runs over the street he can. That danger is Part of Life. There is a reason why u have to get insurance for a car, but not for a pedestrian or bike.
A friend of one of my sons' rode his bike home from a beerfest here in Bavaria and he wasn't old enough yet to have a license. So the punishment was (among others) that he had to wait another full year in order to get the license, which was a HUGE punishment for him.
My brother works for the police. He often has extra shifts, because of football matches, demonstrations what so ever. Then he has longer working times. My husband is a teacher. A lot of jokes about their short working times are made, but in reality they don't have 8 hour shifts. They often work much longer. There is no working time recording for teachers. Probably, because teachers could sue the government for the working hours.
They have the same in UK, particularly for junior doctors. I am convinced that it has much yo do with Machismo in the medical profession, it being a right of passage for a junior doctor as some kind of conditioning. If you look at the actual time spent 'on call', it would be practical for management to intelligently adjust the hours to achieve a reasonable working environment. This goes back to my point about being able to trust the judgement of a doctor who has been working/on call for ridiculously long hours.
In UK you can be changed for being drunk in charge of a horse. Many, many moons ago the original owner of our shop used to travel around the villages with the horse drawn equivalent of a mobile shop. It was not unusual, we were told, that on his rounds he would stop off at the local pub for a pint or several and then go home the full 5 miles fast asleep in the wagon whilst the horse pulled them along. I believe he did get done for being drunk in charge of a horse once but usually the village bobbys could be found in the pub sharing a pint with him and turned a blind eye.
I am shocked all over again at people wearing clothes in the sauna - I thought you meant bathing suits or maybe underwear! But everything and socks and shoes! How clueless can people get... 🤯
Ugh. Even bathing suits in a sauna are disgusting. What definitely does happen in German saunas, which is also unacceptable, is someone who comes in ( nude of cosrse, which IS correct) without a towel to sit or lie on. That person will be shamed out of the sauna faster than one drop of sweat can fall onto the benches! Also: Conversations that others can hear are also verpönt. So shut the f*** up in German saunas!
One thing I LOVE about Germany is that it is illegal for an employer to contact an employee on their off time. My Sister is like the typical American. Wants to talk business on a Saturday night. To me it's just insanity. And I'm so thankful I gave up the car years ago. I work from home and I estimate that I'm saving around $15,000 annually.
Is it actually illegal? All I know is that the employee doesn't have to take the call in that case. I used to work in a home for handicapped people and when I was on shift and someone called in sick for the next shift or the next day I usually had to call my colleagues in their free time to ask if they could take over that shift. Especially the afternoon/evening shift was usually one single person and if that person called in sick in the morning I would be screwed if I couldn't find someone else to come in. Cause that would mean I would have to stay all day, and maybe even without a break if I had been alone in the morning shift. That would have been illegal and if I had to work the morning shift the next day as well I am not sure if the break had been too short for that to be legal as well.
@@folkehoffmann1198 The easy answer is: Yes, it is illegal. The true answer is more complicated, first of all there is being "on-call", in german "Rufbereitschaft", it counts as free time, with often a little pay for being ready to work "on-call", it's something you see a lot in emergency services like fire departments or in hospitals. And since it is part of your work contract, you are required to be work ready and to react to the call. The other thing is, if you agree that you employer can call you, he is allowed to do so, but you are not required to even accept the call, you can just ignore it. Most people and most bosses (not the company boss, but your direct boss) don't even know, that it is illegal and it could happen, that they call you anyway, but nearly nobody will take it to court, as long as it happens rarely, or you are basically ok with it. One case I could see, would be an unexpected really high amount of sickness-related absences of the other employees. (So high that for example production is endangered and that it would be unreasonable to blame the employer for miscalculating worker numbers. Something like 50% of the workers are sick.) In which case I think it is ok that the employer could ask you to come in. (ask, he can't force you and you don't have to fear consequences, if you say: no)
In the entertainment industry (if you are SAG-AFTRA) an 8 hour day is called a straight 8. 9-10 hours are paid at time and a half. 11-15 hours are paid at double time. From the 16th hour on the pay is a full days pay for every hour. It is considered a punishment to the studios for keeping performers on set for too long.
Oh that is nice.... for overtime (for other fields) it is just time and a half. I should actually look it up to see if there is a difference in the amount of hours you work.
@@HayleyAlexis , to be paid those rates one must be a union member: SAG-AFTRA. Non-union members are paid a flat rate for a 10 or 12 hour day (I forget), then time and a half for any additional hours.
Well now, ages ago, I worked in private security, where I worked many a night shift. I don't think you need me to tell you just how exhausting the night shift can be. For a while, now, I've been aware of the benefit that can be realized from a 10-to-20-minute nap, so I would often make it a point to take a 15-minute nap in my car before I drove home, and I would wake up several hours later. I was so exhausted from an _8-hour_ night shift that I had slept through my alarm. And there are people in private security who regularly work 12-hour shifts. I'm glad I've never been one of them.
These work hour laws are sadly not valid for medical staff in Germany either. However, there are still laws about work hours and rest times. They are just less strict. Like 12 hour shifts and sometimes there are even only rest times of 6 hours inbetween shifts. These laws are a lot more situational and complicated. 😊
In Michigan it’s was just sometime between 5-10 years ago that we passed laws making driving boats, snowmobiles, and ATVs under the influence illegal. I had no idea that it wasn’t illegal before that.
I like your approach to talking about hours worked. You discussed advantages and disadvantages equally, bringing personal experiences into the mix. I am (probably) twice your age, and my ability to concentrate on my work is down to something like 4 hours, i.e., the number of errors I make increases a lot after that time. When I was younger, I remember my very experienced boss sometimes working far into the night. But I also remember him leaving us notes that he was not able to solve some problems. Sometimes colleagues of mine were able to solve these problems inside of minutes after they started working the next day. I know things are different in hospitals. You can't just walk out if there is no replacement there. But I also remember that I always checked the number, shape and color of pills that nurses handed to me after operations. And some were obviously wrong and returned. And yes, when younger , I also worked longer shifts ( with reduced efficiency)
Personally, I think that medical professionals shouldn’t work more than an eight hour shift. After eight hours your mental and physical abilities are depreciated.
Agreed. As a programmer I used to sometimes work 9 hours early in my career until I noticed for every hour beyond 8 hours I worked I spent two the next morning fixing all my mistakes I made from being tired and unfocused. Luckily in my job my mistakes don't have life altering or threatening consequences, unlike the medical field.
The laws regarding crematoriums vary. If the body is burned in Germany, it must be buried in a cemetery. It is also possible to leave the urn buried under trees or to tip it into the water on the high seas. However, if the body is cremated in the Netherlands or the Czech Republic, it is legal to have the urn sent by post and keep it at home. Although this is not common in Germany. I think that the cemetery laws are the last to be changed.
The 8hrs shift is a Full time maximum payshift that the agency has to pay. All above mostly is payed extra (sonstiges different taxes as well) and the illigal thing is, you have to have a 10hrs Rest time between your shifts (excluding the time you Need to Drive Home and to work). Hospital shifts Are mostly 10hrs+/ doctors 24hrs+ but also sometimes people in office work 9-10hrs depends on the current workload:)
About car insurances in Germany. The longer you have been without damages they got cheaper. It depends on what coverage you have (only liability, damages like theft, broken windows etc., or full comprehensive) - where you live, where you park your car in the night, who drives the car, which model of car and even which color, the mileage per year, and where you exactly live. You cannot just compare the prices.
I think I stated in the video that there are a lot of factors that determine car insurance price but you can take a car that costs almost 150,000 with full cover insurance that is in a metropolitan city, and that is bright orange (Mike's M4) and compare it to a car that cost 15,000 with full cover insurance that is silver, and lives in a very small town... compare those two.... and understand that there is something wrong with the pricing.
Hi Hayley, I was working as a designer of automotiv devices like instrument panels or stuff like that. You have to be concentrated to do your thing and after a while you loose your concentration. Even if you work for 12 hours or more you can`t get a better solution or get a better result. It`s just waisting time. I think you have to have a break and than start again. Sometimes you can work longer but not all the time. It can be ineffective. You work hours and get no result because you think in a certain way and just don`t find an other solutionr. So it`s better to take a break and start again with a new brain.
There are companies that work with "3-Schicht-Wechselschicht" because of technical reasons. Mainly in chemical and steel/aluminum plants, there are processes that don't allow one to just quit work and come back 16 hours later. These processes have to be maintained continuously. The work schedule is e.g. working for 12 hours, having 24 hours free, working for 12 hours, having 48 hours free, and then the cycle starts anew (BASF plant Ludwigshafen). Working in a job with such shifts is strenuous for body, mind, and soul and therefore better paid than comparable jobs without shifts.
People in a sauna will most probably not call the police when someone comes in clothed. First of all, they will most likely not have a phone with them, as phones usually have camaras build in which are also not allowed in a sauna for obvious reasons. Second reason is, there is always some kind of sauna supervisor (Saunaaufsicht) who you will inform if people misbehave (or if someone needs help) and they might call the police if there is absolutely no other way to settle the situation. The only time I have seen people enter a sauna with cloths on, there were two young men, obviously for first visit in a German sauna, wearing bathing trunks. As soon as they realised everybody else was naked, they blushed, returned to the changing area and came back with towels wrapped around them. No big issue, nobody even had to say anything.
I have a friend in Germany (Nuremberg), whose grandmother passed away and the family had her ashes placed in little urns (adorned with a sparkling cross or a heart) for each member of the family. His grandma had even chosen her urn before she passed!
You CAN drink alcohol and ride a bike in Germany. There is a threshold value (0,16% BAC) and it's much higher than with cars (0,5% BAC). So even when having a few beers, you can still legally ride a bike and I know many people who do that. I think the cops were just pissed that you ran a red light.
Yepp, most Germans also acknowledge that the sauna is a Finnish thing that we shamelessly ripped off. Then again, the first _official_ nude/ FKK beaches were here in Germany on the coast of the Baltic. Maybe some Finnish influence? I couldn't understand how anyone would want to wear clothes in the sauna. That defeats the whole purpose of sweating freely, allowing the pores to open and clean themselves. Clothes carry all the dust from the outside which then clogs up the pores because the clothes are in direct contact with the skin. Peace to our great Finnish friends to the northeast.
Small correction: The temperature in a sauna is usually around 90°C. The majority of germs won't survive this heat. You wouldn't survive it either if you wouldn't be surrounded by an isolating layer of air. So it's actually an almost sterile environment inside the sauna.
"Heard from a friend" who has been to the USA, that their saunas usually are a lot less hot, he said like around 60-70°C (Hayley correct me if I´m wrong), In Germany probably like 90°C, in Sweden 100-110°C and in Finland they are f**cking nuts 350°C, A bottle of vodka and plenty of SISU =)
In Italy, you can keep your loved one's ashes in you home, but they must remain in the home where they were registered to be going to after the cremation. You cannot just move them around willy-nilly, as you please. If you have someone's ashes in your home and you move to a new home, you must register the move of the ashes, as well as yourself. After my mother-in-law passed away, her ashes were at my father-in-law's home. My husband wanted to bring them to our home, but the procedure to do so is not simple or fast, so he never did it. And I believe you can scatter the ashes, but you must first get the permission from the comune (town hall). Basically, I think of it like this - the Italian government always needs to know exactly where each person resident in Italy is - you must keep your registered address current - and it does not matter if the person is living, or dead!
I can understand you feel unsure to be naked in the sauna and want to wear swimwear. But why would you ever even want to wear full outside cloths in the sauna wtf???
I think having your surgeon do your 6 hour surgery at the end of his 48h shift sounds like a fundamentally awesome idea because that way, he only has to work 4 days out of 7.
Bicycles are vehicles. The regulations apply just as much to them as they do to cars. And yes, you can in fact have your driver's license revoked for riding a bicycle drunk. Actually, you can even get fined on foot, if you being drunk in traffic causes serious problems for others. There is one exception to that: you may ride a horse while drunk. (unless that's been changed since) On that note, going home after a Father's Day outing, a guy was so drunk that his friend packed him into his Bollerwagen and pulled him home. The guy pulling wasn't exactly sober, either, the police stopped him and he got belligerent. So they threw the book at him. "The Book" being the Bußgeldkatalog. And they cited him for everything they could think of, from being drunk to the conditions of the tires.
When I was a teenager, they still/already had the law that a horse is a "vehicle" too. At least that's what I've been told back then. They had to walk their horse home. Lived in a small town on a farm.
When I was a med school student we had 12 hours shifts in the hospital (we did nursing assistant duties for income) and as an actual med student in training my longest shift in the OR was over 15 hours - allone assisting surgeries, not including station work. And it was me having a blast! These shifts are definitely illegal, even for Switzerland. And our worker’s protection laws are poor in European comparison.
The funny thing is: A Sauna, if it is a Finnish sauna, the really hot one usually has a temperature of 80 to 90, or even 95 °C (176, 194, or 203°F). Bacteria start to die off from 60°C/140°F on upwards. So this is well into the realm where bacteria don't just not thrive and grow, they die. Sure, skin itself is alot cooler otherwise we would burn in the sauna, that's what sweating is for. So the skin may be a good place for germs to grow during the 10 to 20 minutes you are in there. But this is hardly one repoductive cycle for most bacteria. And once the human has left, the hot air should actually kill all bacteria. So I dont teally know where this idea about hygiene comes from. But of course youd have intensely sweaty clothes afterwards that definitely need to get a thorough wasglh ASAP after. But maybe after switching the saune off, the xooking down and heating up times are the vulnerable phase because then the temp.passe theough the range where bacterial groth is accelerated. I dont know. Bit I'm.starting to think that the "completly nude" rule is a remnant from saunaing being a very old Finnish trdition and in the time where the tradition was formed, there where no laundry machines, no dryers and people didn't have that many sets of clothing to change, so I suppose it was jist born out of the practicality to not have to wash or chnage your clothes. You sauna naked, dip in the snow or an ice bath/lake ,which removes the sweat, dry yourself off and can then get back into your day clothes without needing to wash and dry them in the cold amd long Finnish winters.
Car insurance, here in the UK you earn a 'no claims bonus' that reduces your insurance cost each year if you do not make a claim. (The basic price may rise but the bonus reduces the amount of increase.) However it was described to me as a no CLAIMS bonus not a no BLAME bonus, so the bonus reduces if you make any claim even if it is not your fault.
Driving a bike in Germany under the influence of alcohol is a bit more complex: - If You have a driving license, the legal alcohol limit for car drivers is valid: 0.8 per mille. The violation of this limit will lead to the revocation of the driver's license, regardless whether You had driven a car or a bicycle. - If You do not have a driver's license at all, then the legal alcohol limit for a bicycle is 1.6 per mille. If You are above this limit, You will be forced to take Your bike out of service, for to walk instead or to use the pubilc transportation. Further You will receive a financial penalty and for some time in the near future, making a driver's license will be prohibited. Some years ago, they prohibited even biking then at all in some regions (Bavaria, esp. Munich). But this legal practice has been decided as illegitimate by the Federal High Court of Justice: Biking is a basic right, which cannot be withdrawn. - If You will have an accident, then the alcohol limit is only 0.3 per mille - bike or car, guilty or not, having a driver's licence or not. Conclusion: Don't drink and drive. Regardless whether car or bike. In the periphery of the Munich Oktoberfest ... it is just foolishness. Nothing is more controlled by the police in any aspect than the Oktoberfest.
As for the ashes (at the risk of being deleted for no logical reason I can think of, which is also fitting here...), it is true that cremated bodies, a.k.a. ashes, cannot be handed over from the funeral services institution. They can, however, be moved from one cemetery to another. Through a funeral home. Which might or might not turn a blind eye and leave the room in which the urn is in transit for long enough to switch out the contents of said urn. A sea "burial" is also possible with the right permits. OR: It is also legal to have the cremated remains sent to Switzerland with proper paperwork where there are businesses who put the ashes under pressure and turn them into diamonds for about € 10 000. I, personally think that is pretty cool (albeit one expensive simulated diamond), but it turns out that my child finds it morbid. 🤷
Car insurance in germany is also based on how long you have driven without accidents. At least when i started driving over 40 years ago it was that way. I think it started then with 120% and could go down to 40% as lowest after x years without accidents. I started however driving under my grandpas insurance who was on 40%. The problem was with that that my own % didn't went down, but after x years i was able to "inherit" the % from granddad so in the end i always just paid 40%.
working hours are apparently regulated in the EU, and there may be some individual rules in the countries in force. Among other things, in Denmark we have the 11-hour rule, which says "Working time must be organized so that the employees have a rest period of at least 11 consecutive hours within each period of 24 hours." If I'm not mistaken, these are some rules from the EU.
To the story about ... cemeteries: I just heard a reasonably reliable story about an aunty who was cooking in an unfamiliar household and put some interesting-looking spice into the soup. For the sake of not getting deleted, I'll leave the story at this point. You can imagine what the spice was, and that is a good reason to keep such remains in designated places and not somewhere in homes or apartments.
Unless you cause a serious accident while driving a bike drunk, at least in Sweden, it's got nothing to do with its driver's license since it's not motorised Don't know exactly about the details but "The extraordinary" swedish police gave fines to men riding their lawnmowers while intoxicated 😂😂😂
You getting paid overtime and are your hours banked or just added to your next pay? Interested in a German versus American comparison in overtime and vacation pay also employment insurance e.i.
Good question... It honestly depends but usually they are paid out. I don't know if German overtime laws are the same as in the USA but you get paid time and a half for overtime... So if you work 10 hours overtime you get paid for 15.
The bicycling while drunk in the USA... it's also illegal in Florida. My brother was underage and had been riding his bicycle while drunk in Osceola County when he was "pulled over" by the cops. They had him do the breathalyzer and of course he failed. As a consequence, he got a DUI and he was forbidden from operating a motor vehicle till he was 18. Not sure if that was a power thing with the judge to forbid him from driving, but that's what happened
In Germany to keep body parts or whole bodies of dead persons is legally disrespectful to the dead. Also playing human bones is also disrespectful to the dead. Some of the German soldiers is Afgahnistan played ball with offen omniprevalent skeletons (specifically the head) for fun. These soldiers were punished when they returned to Germany (Störung der Ruhe von Toten).
A co-worker lost his license due to multiple DUI so he got a China moped to get around it, and he got hit in traffic while he was drunk and on pain killers.
In german hospitals long shifts for doctors are also normal. I don't know, why the law is not enforced there. I do not want to be treated by a doctor, who did not sleep the last 24 hours. You are not allowed to take part in road traffic, even on foot, if you are drunk. But as a pedestrian, you have to be really drung, so much, that you are not able to walk staight.
falls die Urne wasserlöslich ist kann sie auch (durch ein Beerdigungsinstitut) im Meer versenkt werden. NICHT in Flüssen oder Seen. Die Asche selbst darf nicht verstreut werden
Well, shoot. It's unfortunate that, wherever your mother was, at the time, she had not had (or not been aware of) the option to go through any driver-training programs like _MasterDrive._ That's a program they have in Colorado that _I_ went through. It was started by a racecar driver after his daughter died in a car crash. In it, one learns the techniques racecar drivers use to optimize control of their vehicles. At graduation from the program, one gets a certificate one can show to the company that provides one's car insurance and they respond by lowering one's rates, since one is now officially a safer driver.
Oh. I forgot to mention, because ages ago, I actually knocked someone down with my car, but I immediately put my car in park, turned on the emergency blinkers, and I and my car insurance provider got in touch with her and her medical insurance provider and I agreed to cover her medical expenses (since it was my fault), and not long after, my insurance rates actually _dropped,_ because I had had a birthday and reached a less risky bracket.
Would you trust the judgement of a staff member who has worked hard for a full 8hr day and then carries on for a further 2, 4, 6, 8 hrs? I wouldn't and in the medical world this verges on criminal negligence. There is a truism in employment that says that 'if you have to work overtime then there is something seriously wrong with the management of the organisation'. Also, when you work such extended hours your productivity drops off and its illogical to pay overtime for less effect.
@@HayleyAlexis I agree. The European Working Time Directive actually says that you must have 11 hours of rest in every 24hours and work a maximum of 48hours per week. When this was brought in 1998 in UK, junior doctors hours often contravened the Directive and there had to be wholesale changes that didn't actually affect very much. My point about overtime is where the working week is say, 9-5:30, Mon-Fri, working outside of those hours is overtime. its still not a good idea to work longer than 8 hours per day if the work is arduous or strenuous and I would suggest that 12 hour shifts for 3 days, with 4 days off per week still means that you are unlikely to perform at your peak for the whole of the 12 hours, despite the subsequent prolonged rest.
The thumbnail is a reminder of my ex😂 He was drunk like hell and the police followed him on his bike for 3kms 😂 He basically drove home and they followed him all the way and up to his apartment. He was barely able to speak, but signed paperwork that night.😂 They found some more drugs in his place. He lost his license on the spot. Had to proof to the court it wasn't his drugs. That was before I met him! We met like 6 months after. He had quit alcohol completely, the drugs weren't his. They were left from a party the week before. I actually believed this part. Cos it would be a thing that would show in his behaviour. He wasn't someone who liked that. His need for alcohol however... kept showing more and more the closer he got to getting his license back. Like ANYTHING with hidden alcohol, like marcipan chocolate, he would devour! He never ate dessert. He would maybe take a second piece of chocolate, if we decided to have some sweets. He would eat marcipan in other desserts. But the day he bought that specific chocolate...by the time I wanted a piece...it was totally gone. He acted like it wasn't anything unusual.😅 Total narc. But that memory makes me laugh today. It's been almost 10 years. Still it's so funny. He would start buying this regularly 😅 Oh the bs I endured...but that blindness he had for his alcoholism was somehow really funny. Cos that lie was one he believed himself. He really thought he didn't have a drinking problem
I have never understood the appeal of saunas. I mean, a sauna is just a heated room. Maybe it's a _wet_ sauna, maybe it's a _dry_ sauna, but it's just a heated room. You go in, you sit down, and then... what? You nap? I mean, it's heated, so that response sounds natural. If you're gonna be awake, though, it sounds like a good place to sit and be bored. If you're gonna go with friends and socialize, well, that could be fun, but is a heated room really ideal for that? Aren't there better places to sit and be social?
In Germany, people in the medical field have to work 24 hours shifts. Part of their working time is declared as "Bereitschaftsdienst" but in fact, they have to be present in the hospital, and they work normally in order to step up. So it is actually illegal to work that long in Germany but it happens regularly anyway. 😕
I assumed that medical professions had their own rules or didn't follow them as strictly because it is a very understaffed sector (no matter what country you are from).
You should have corporal punishment of children in the list. Sweden was first to make it illegal in 1979 but it has been illegal in Germany since 2000.
I never thought about driving bicycles in this way. Sure, if you're drunk, you can be a reason of an incident with different consequences. Driving whatever with a foggy brain should be regulated, I assume. Hmm, nice topic to discuss, actually.
If you are a self employed person, you laugh about 8h working time, especially when you start your business and have to build it up..... Not to talk about building a home simultaneously, or... Yes there can be more: a baby or a seriously sick partner. Can be 😵💫😮💨 in the end.
You can carry a gun in germany. Muzzleloaders with match- or flintlock ignition are not subject to any restrictions. Most Germans just don‘t know that. You only need a permit to purchase black powder. I‘m just afraid you won‘t be taken very seriously.
after all this resistance against a breathalizer test, the police was surely surprised that you were basically sober 😂 you acted for some minute like someone who has drunk something like 8 beers or half a bottle of whiskey or so - and then the breathalizer probably showed just 0.1 promille (0.01%) or less😅
can you say what the work ethic in the us is? In Germany I dont feel their is a very positive mindset about working more,it probably is also because in Germany taxes are high and you dont really get compensated enough often times
I think Germans have a healthier relationship with work than US citizens but to be completely honest I believe a lot of people (in the US and in Germany) don't LOVE working 🤣
I think the insurance is high in the US because of the high rate of car accidents,the insurance in the USA probably loses a lot more than they can afford!
I just looked up the top 5 insurance companies in Florida which make up about 80% of all insured vehicles and they all brought in multibillions in profits in 2023 and going into 2024. An insurance company is not struggling at all here
@@HayleyAlexis hmm, then maybe the price is based on the frequency of accidents? That’s common, they would calculate risk. But I don’t doubt they are also trying to full their pockets😒
@@HayleyAlexis 🤔 that amount is really high, I am just trying to make sense of it. With a 1000 per month I don’t understand how people could have a car in the US! damn..
@@ThePinkPearllyeah, I think there is a connection. They take a look at their cost (depending on the number/cost of accidents plus a safety margin), management expenses (including boni) and planned profits for their shareholders and then they know how much to charge their customers. If there are less accidents than expected they will have to raise the boni or shareholder profits.
Hey, I see a few of the comments regarding my ashes points are being deleted and I don't know why. If you posted a comment about that I am so sorry but it has most likely been deleted.

Ja. That is absolutely true.
In Germany too, 24 hour shifts aren't so uncommon in hospitals. They call it "to be on call" (Bereitschaftsdienst).
Yes, those I know about :)

If you look at the actual time spent 'on call', it would be practical for management to intelligently adjust the hours to achieve a reasonable working environment. This goes back to my point about being able to trust the judgement of a doctor who has been working/on call for ridiculously long hours.
In Ontario, Canada, you can't drink and boat either. 'Beer on the pier, water on the Water" is how we say it.
I don't know the rules about it in the US but I am pretty sure it is not allowed
In UK you can be changed for being drunk in charge of a horse. Many, many moons ago the original owner of our shop used to travel around the villages with the horse drawn equivalent of a mobile shop. It was not unusual, we were told, that on his rounds he would stop off at the local pub for a pint or several and then go home the full 5 miles fast asleep in the wagon whilst the horse pulled them along. I believe he did get done for being drunk in charge of a horse once but usually the village bobbys could be found in the pub sharing a pint with him and turned a blind eye.
I am shocked all over again at people wearing clothes in the sauna - I thought you meant bathing suits or maybe underwear! But everything and socks and shoes! How clueless can people get... 🤯
😆😆😆 yeah a lot of people commented under my video asking what people wore
Ugh. Even bathing suits in a sauna are disgusting. What definitely does happen in German saunas, which is also unacceptable, is someone who comes in ( nude of cosrse, which IS correct) without a towel to sit or lie on. That person will be shamed out of the sauna faster than one drop of sweat can fall onto the benches!
Also: Conversations that others can hear are also verpönt. So shut the f*** up in German saunas!
One thing I LOVE about Germany is that it is illegal for an employer to contact an employee on their off time. My Sister is like the typical American. Wants to talk business on a Saturday night. To me it's just insanity. And I'm so thankful I gave up the car years ago. I work from home and I estimate that I'm saving around $15,000 annually.
Is it actually illegal? All I know is that the employee doesn't have to take the call in that case. I used to work in a home for handicapped people and when I was on shift and someone called in sick for the next shift or the next day I usually had to call my colleagues in their free time to ask if they could take over that shift. Especially the afternoon/evening shift was usually one single person and if that person called in sick in the morning I would be screwed if I couldn't find someone else to come in. Cause that would mean I would have to stay all day, and maybe even without a break if I had been alone in the morning shift. That would have been illegal and if I had to work the morning shift the next day as well I am not sure if the break had been too short for that to be legal as well.
@@folkehoffmann1198 The easy answer is: Yes, it is illegal.
The true answer is more complicated, first of all there is being "on-call", in german "Rufbereitschaft", it counts as free time, with often a little pay for being ready to work "on-call", it's something you see a lot in emergency services like fire departments or in hospitals. And since it is part of your work contract, you are required to be work ready and to react to the call.
The other thing is, if you agree that you employer can call you, he is allowed to do so, but you are not required to even accept the call, you can just ignore it.
Most people and most bosses (not the company boss, but your direct boss) don't even know, that it is illegal and it could happen, that they call you anyway, but nearly nobody will take it to court, as long as it happens rarely, or you are basically ok with it.
One case I could see, would be an unexpected really high amount of sickness-related absences of the other employees. (So high that for example production is endangered and that it would be unreasonable to blame the employer for miscalculating worker numbers. Something like 50% of the workers are sick.) In which case I think it is ok that the employer could ask you to come in. (ask, he can't force you and you don't have to fear consequences, if you say: no)
In the entertainment industry (if you are SAG-AFTRA) an 8 hour day is called a straight 8. 9-10 hours are paid at time and a half. 11-15 hours are paid at double time. From the 16th hour on the pay is a full days pay for every hour. It is considered a punishment to the studios for keeping performers on set for too long.
Oh that is nice.... for overtime (for other fields) it is just time and a half. I should actually look it up to see if there is a difference in the amount of hours you work.
@@HayleyAlexis , to be paid those rates one must be a union member: SAG-AFTRA. Non-union members are paid a flat rate for a 10 or 12 hour day (I forget), then time and a half for any additional hours.
Well now, ages ago, I worked in private security, where I worked many a night shift. I don't think you need me to tell you just how exhausting the night shift can be.
For a while, now, I've been aware of the benefit that can be realized from a 10-to-20-minute nap, so I would often make it a point to take a 15-minute nap in my car before I drove home, and I would wake up several hours later. I was so exhausted from an _8-hour_ night shift that I had slept through my alarm.
And there are people in private security who regularly work 12-hour shifts. I'm glad I've never been one of them.
I just dislike working
These work hour laws are sadly not valid for medical staff in Germany either. However, there are still laws about work hours and rest times. They are just less strict. Like 12 hour shifts and sometimes there are even only rest times of 6 hours inbetween shifts. These laws are a lot more situational and complicated. 😊
In Michigan it’s was just sometime between 5-10 years ago that we passed laws making driving boats, snowmobiles, and ATVs under the influence illegal. I had no idea that it wasn’t illegal before that.
I like your approach to talking about hours worked. You discussed advantages and disadvantages equally, bringing personal experiences into the mix. I am (probably) twice your age, and my ability to concentrate on my work is down to something like 4 hours, i.e., the number of errors I make increases a lot after that time. When I was younger, I remember my very experienced boss sometimes working far into the night. But I also remember him leaving us notes that he was not able to solve some problems. Sometimes colleagues of mine were able to solve these problems inside of minutes after they started working the next day.
I know things are different in hospitals. You can't just walk out if there is no replacement there. But I also remember that I always checked the number, shape and color of pills that nurses handed to me after operations. And some were obviously wrong and returned.
And yes, when younger , I also worked longer shifts ( with reduced efficiency)
Personally, I think that medical professionals shouldn’t work more than an eight hour shift. After eight hours your mental and physical abilities are depreciated.
Agreed. As a programmer I used to sometimes work 9 hours early in my career until I noticed for every hour beyond 8 hours I worked I spent two the next morning fixing all my mistakes I made from being tired and unfocused. Luckily in my job my mistakes don't have life altering or threatening consequences, unlike the medical field.
The laws regarding crematoriums vary. If the body is burned in Germany, it must be buried in a cemetery. It is also possible to leave the urn buried under trees or to tip it into the water on the high seas.
However, if the body is cremated in the Netherlands or the Czech Republic, it is legal to have the urn sent by post and keep it at home. Although this is not common in Germany.
I think that the cemetery laws are the last to be changed.
Crematoriums in Germany are legally restricted to send the ashes of humans to either a cemetery administration, funeral home or a pastor
Yes! there are ways around it! lets just say my dad was cremated in switzerland.
The 8hrs shift is a Full time maximum payshift that the agency has to pay. All above mostly is payed extra (sonstiges different taxes as well) and the illigal thing is, you have to have a 10hrs Rest time between your shifts (excluding the time you Need to Drive Home and to work). Hospital shifts Are mostly 10hrs+/ doctors 24hrs+ but also sometimes people in office work 9-10hrs depends on the current workload:)
About car insurances in Germany. The longer you have been without damages they got cheaper. It depends on what coverage you have (only liability, damages like theft, broken windows etc., or full comprehensive) - where you live, where you park your car in the night, who drives the car, which model of car and even which color, the mileage per year, and where you exactly live. You cannot just compare the prices.
I think I stated in the video that there are a lot of factors that determine car insurance price but you can take a car that costs almost 150,000 with full cover insurance that is in a metropolitan city, and that is bright orange (Mike's M4) and compare it to a car that cost 15,000 with full cover insurance that is silver, and lives in a very small town... compare those two.... and understand that there is something wrong with the pricing.
On a shallow note, I love how you look in that dirndl!
Hi Hayley, I was working as a designer of automotiv devices like instrument panels or stuff like that. You have to be concentrated to do your thing and after a while you loose your concentration. Even if you work for 12 hours or more you can`t get a better solution or get a better result. It`s just waisting time. I think you have to have a break and than start again. Sometimes you can work longer but not all the time. It can be ineffective. You work hours and get no result because you think in a certain way and just don`t find an other solutionr. So it`s better to take a break and start again with a new brain.
There are companies that work with "3-Schicht-Wechselschicht" because of technical reasons. Mainly in chemical and steel/aluminum plants, there are processes that don't allow one to just quit work and come back 16 hours later. These processes have to be maintained continuously. The work schedule is e.g. working for 12 hours, having 24 hours free, working for 12 hours, having 48 hours free, and then the cycle starts anew (BASF plant Ludwigshafen). Working in a job with such shifts is strenuous for body, mind, and soul and therefore better paid than comparable jobs without shifts.
People in a sauna will most probably not call the police when someone comes in clothed. First of all, they will most likely not have a phone with them, as phones usually have camaras build in which are also not allowed in a sauna for obvious reasons. Second reason is, there is always some kind of sauna supervisor (Saunaaufsicht) who you will inform if people misbehave (or if someone needs help) and they might call the police if there is absolutely no other way to settle the situation.
The only time I have seen people enter a sauna with cloths on, there were two young men, obviously for first visit in a German sauna, wearing bathing trunks. As soon as they realised everybody else was naked, they blushed, returned to the changing area and came back with towels wrapped around them. No big issue, nobody even had to say anything.
I have a friend in Germany (Nuremberg), whose grandmother passed away and the family had her ashes placed in little urns (adorned with a sparkling cross or a heart) for each member of the family. His grandma had even chosen her urn before she passed!
You CAN drink alcohol and ride a bike in Germany. There is a threshold value (0,16% BAC) and it's much higher than with cars (0,5% BAC). So even when having a few beers, you can still legally ride a bike and I know many people who do that. I think the cops were just pissed that you ran a red light.
Nice that Germans copied that sauna thing from Finland. It is natural and part of our Finnish sauna culture to be naked inside sauna.
Yepp, most Germans also acknowledge that the sauna is a Finnish thing that we shamelessly ripped off.
Then again, the first _official_ nude/ FKK beaches were here in Germany on the coast of the Baltic. Maybe some Finnish influence?
I couldn't understand how anyone would want to wear clothes in the sauna. That defeats the whole purpose of sweating freely, allowing the pores to open and clean themselves. Clothes carry all the dust from the outside which then clogs up the pores because the clothes are in direct contact with the skin.
Peace to our great Finnish friends to the northeast.
Small correction:
The temperature in a sauna is usually around 90°C.
The majority of germs won't survive this heat.
You wouldn't survive it either if you wouldn't be surrounded by an isolating layer of air.
So it's actually an almost sterile environment inside the sauna.
"Heard from a friend" who has been to the USA, that their saunas usually are a lot less hot, he said like around 60-70°C (Hayley correct me if I´m wrong), In Germany probably like 90°C, in Sweden 100-110°C and in Finland they are f**cking nuts 350°C, A bottle of vodka and plenty of SISU =)
Actually, when you work a 12 hour shift you prabably are less productive than someone who works an eight hour shift - both per hour and in total.
I enjoyed this video. 😊❤
Thank you :)
In Italy, you can keep your loved one's ashes in you home, but they must remain in the home where they were registered to be going to after the cremation. You cannot just move them around willy-nilly, as you please. If you have someone's ashes in your home and you move to a new home, you must register the move of the ashes, as well as yourself. After my mother-in-law passed away, her ashes were at my father-in-law's home. My husband wanted to bring them to our home, but the procedure to do so is not simple or fast, so he never did it. And I believe you can scatter the ashes, but you must first get the permission from the comune (town hall). Basically, I think of it like this - the Italian government always needs to know exactly where each person resident in Italy is - you must keep your registered address current - and it does not matter if the person is living, or dead!
I can understand you feel unsure to be naked in the sauna and want to wear swimwear. But why would you ever even want to wear full outside cloths in the sauna wtf???
Love you!🤗
You too!!
25 hours shifts in the hospital are normal for doctors in Austria.
I think having your surgeon do your 6 hour surgery at the end of his 48h shift sounds like a fundamentally awesome idea because that way, he only has to work 4 days out of 7.
Bicycles are vehicles. The regulations apply just as much to them as they do to cars. And yes, you can in fact have your driver's license revoked for riding a bicycle drunk. Actually, you can even get fined on foot, if you being drunk in traffic causes serious problems for others.
There is one exception to that: you may ride a horse while drunk. (unless that's been changed since)
On that note, going home after a Father's Day outing, a guy was so drunk that his friend packed him into his Bollerwagen and pulled him home. The guy pulling wasn't exactly sober, either, the police stopped him and he got belligerent. So they threw the book at him. "The Book" being the Bußgeldkatalog. And they cited him for everything they could think of, from being drunk to the conditions of the tires.
When I was a teenager, they still/already had the law that a horse is a "vehicle" too. At least that's what I've been told back then. They had to walk their horse home. Lived in a small town on a farm.
It IS the law that work above 8 hours a day is not allowed but there are exceptions like the medical field.
When I was a med school student we had 12 hours shifts in the hospital (we did nursing assistant duties for income) and as an actual med student in training my longest shift in the OR was over 15 hours - allone assisting surgeries, not including station work. And it was me having a blast!
These shifts are definitely illegal, even for Switzerland. And our worker’s protection laws are poor in European comparison.
DUI it's the same in Italy, althoug I think not everybody knows it. The law, and alcohol level, is the same for any vehicle, so for bikes too.
The funny thing is: A Sauna, if it is a Finnish sauna, the really hot one usually has a temperature of 80 to 90, or even 95 °C (176, 194, or 203°F). Bacteria start to die off from 60°C/140°F on upwards. So this is well into the realm where bacteria don't just not thrive and grow, they die. Sure, skin itself is alot cooler otherwise we would burn in the sauna, that's what sweating is for. So the skin may be a good place for germs to grow during the 10 to 20 minutes you are in there. But this is hardly one repoductive cycle for most bacteria. And once the human has left, the hot air should actually kill all bacteria. So I dont teally know where this idea about hygiene comes from. But of course youd have intensely sweaty clothes afterwards that definitely need to get a thorough wasglh ASAP after.
But maybe after switching the saune off, the xooking down and heating up times are the vulnerable phase because then the temp.passe theough the range where bacterial groth is accelerated. I dont know.
Bit I'm.starting to think that the "completly nude" rule is a remnant from saunaing being a very old Finnish trdition and in the time where the tradition was formed, there where no laundry machines, no dryers and people didn't have that many sets of clothing to change, so I suppose it was jist born out of the practicality to not have to wash or chnage your clothes. You sauna naked, dip in the snow or an ice bath/lake ,which removes the sweat, dry yourself off and can then get back into your day clothes without needing to wash and dry them in the cold amd long Finnish winters.
Car insurance, here in the UK you earn a 'no claims bonus' that reduces your insurance cost each year if you do not make a claim. (The basic price may rise but the bonus reduces the amount of increase.) However it was described to me as a no CLAIMS bonus not a no BLAME bonus, so the bonus reduces if you make any claim even if it is not your fault.
We have the same thing here but I don't think it is really implemented... at all
That is why we have un-insured driver insurance in NC as the neighboring states don’t require insurance.
Driving a bike in Germany under the influence of alcohol is a bit more complex:
- If You have a driving license, the legal alcohol limit for car drivers is valid: 0.8 per mille. The violation of this limit will lead to the revocation of the driver's license, regardless whether You had driven a car or a bicycle.
- If You do not have a driver's license at all, then the legal alcohol limit for a bicycle is 1.6 per mille. If You are above this limit, You will be forced to take Your bike out of service, for to walk instead or to use the pubilc transportation. Further You will receive a financial penalty and for some time in the near future, making a driver's license will be prohibited. Some years ago, they prohibited even biking then at all in some regions (Bavaria, esp. Munich). But this legal practice has been decided as illegitimate by the Federal High Court of Justice: Biking is a basic right, which cannot be withdrawn.
- If You will have an accident, then the alcohol limit is only 0.3 per mille - bike or car, guilty or not, having a driver's licence or not.
Conclusion: Don't drink and drive. Regardless whether car or bike. In the periphery of the Munich Oktoberfest ... it is just foolishness. Nothing is more controlled by the police in any aspect than the Oktoberfest.
As for the ashes (at the risk of being deleted for no logical reason I can think of, which is also fitting here...), it is true that cremated bodies, a.k.a. ashes, cannot be handed over from the funeral services institution. They can, however, be moved from one cemetery to another. Through a funeral home. Which might or might not turn a blind eye and leave the room in which the urn is in transit for long enough to switch out the contents of said urn.
A sea "burial" is also possible with the right permits.
OR: It is also legal to have the cremated remains sent to Switzerland with proper paperwork where there are businesses who put the ashes under pressure and turn them into diamonds for about € 10 000. I, personally think that is pretty cool (albeit one expensive simulated diamond), but it turns out that my child finds it morbid. 🤷
Car insurance in germany is also based on how long you have driven without accidents. At least when i started driving over 40 years ago it was that way. I think it started then with 120% and could go down to 40% as lowest after x years without accidents. I started however driving under my grandpas insurance who was on 40%. The problem was with that that my own % didn't went down, but after x years i was able to "inherit" the % from granddad so in the end i always just paid 40%.
I work as a resident doctor in Germany and we have 12h and 22h shifts. So I guess that’s legal (or am I being lied to).
it all might be a lie... and you are technically only working 8 hour shifts in the multi-verse
There are always possibilities to trick the laws. Or there are exceptions for special fields.
working hours are apparently regulated in the EU, and there may be some individual rules in the countries in force. Among other things, in Denmark we have the 11-hour rule, which says "Working time must be organized so that the employees have a rest period of at least 11 consecutive hours within each period of 24 hours." If I'm not mistaken, these are some rules from the EU.
To the story about ... cemeteries: I just heard a reasonably reliable story about an aunty who was cooking in an unfamiliar household and put some interesting-looking spice into the soup. For the sake of not getting deleted, I'll leave the story at this point. You can imagine what the spice was, and that is a good reason to keep such remains in designated places and not somewhere in homes or apartments.

Unless you cause a serious accident while driving a bike drunk, at least in Sweden, it's got nothing to do with its driver's license since it's not motorised
Don't know exactly about the details but "The extraordinary" swedish police gave fines to men riding their lawnmowers while intoxicated
😂😂😂
You getting paid overtime and are your hours banked or just added to your next pay? Interested in a German versus American comparison in overtime and vacation pay also employment insurance e.i.
Good question... It honestly depends but usually they are paid out. I don't know if German overtime laws are the same as in the USA but you get paid time and a half for overtime... So if you work 10 hours overtime you get paid for 15.
The bicycling while drunk in the USA... it's also illegal in Florida. My brother was underage and had been riding his bicycle while drunk in Osceola County when he was "pulled over" by the cops. They had him do the breathalyzer and of course he failed. As a consequence, he got a DUI and he was forbidden from operating a motor vehicle till he was 18. Not sure if that was a power thing with the judge to forbid him from driving, but that's what happened
I believe in Florida they changed the law to "vehicle" and removed motorized from the description which leaves bicycles in the category.
In Germany to keep body parts or whole bodies of dead persons is legally disrespectful to the dead. Also playing human bones is also disrespectful to the dead. Some of the German soldiers is Afgahnistan played ball with offen omniprevalent skeletons (specifically the head) for fun. These soldiers were punished when they returned to Germany (Störung der Ruhe von Toten).
A co-worker lost his license due to multiple DUI so he got a China moped to get around it, and he got hit in traffic while he was drunk and on pain killers.
In german hospitals long shifts for doctors are also normal. I don't know, why the law is not enforced there. I do not want to be treated by a doctor, who did not sleep the last 24 hours.
You are not allowed to take part in road traffic, even on foot, if you are drunk. But as a pedestrian, you have to be really drung, so much, that you are not able to walk staight.
In Deutschland herrscht friedhofszwang,d.h.die Urne muss auf dem Friedhof oder einem friedwald beigesetzt werden

Another Point: Car Registration nor insurance expires in Germany, you have to cancel it.
that is very interesting
You look very , these rose suits you very well! 💗
Thank you so much!
Well, shoot. It's unfortunate that, wherever your mother was, at the time, she had not had (or not been aware of) the option to go through any driver-training programs like _MasterDrive._ That's a program they have in Colorado that _I_ went through. It was started by a racecar driver after his daughter died in a car crash. In it, one learns the techniques racecar drivers use to optimize control of their vehicles.
At graduation from the program, one gets a certificate one can show to the company that provides one's car insurance and they respond by lowering one's rates, since one is now officially a safer driver.
Oh. I forgot to mention, because ages ago, I actually knocked someone down with my car, but I immediately put my car in park, turned on the emergency blinkers, and I and my car insurance provider got in touch with her and her medical insurance provider and I agreed to cover her medical expenses (since it was my fault), and not long after, my insurance rates actually _dropped,_ because I had had a birthday and reached a less risky bracket.
Cute hairstyle 🙂
Not Fritos and cheese. 😅
It really is the WORST smell ever!
Would you trust the judgement of a staff member who has worked hard for a full 8hr day and then carries on for a further 2, 4, 6, 8 hrs? I wouldn't and in the medical world this verges on criminal negligence. There is a truism in employment that says that 'if you have to work overtime then there is something seriously wrong with the management of the organisation'. Also, when you work such extended hours your productivity drops off and its illogical to pay overtime for less effect.
working 12 hours is not overtime if you are only working 36 hours a week.... plus in Germany you work overtime as well....
@@HayleyAlexis I agree. The European Working Time Directive actually says that you must have 11 hours of rest in every 24hours and work a maximum of 48hours per week. When this was brought in 1998 in UK, junior doctors hours often contravened the Directive and there had to be wholesale changes that didn't actually affect very much. My point about overtime is where the working week is say, 9-5:30, Mon-Fri, working outside of those hours is overtime. its still not a good idea to work longer than 8 hours per day if the work is arduous or strenuous and I would suggest that 12 hour shifts for 3 days, with 4 days off per week still means that you are unlikely to perform at your peak for the whole of the 12 hours, despite the subsequent prolonged rest.
The thumbnail is a reminder of my ex😂 He was drunk like hell and the police followed him on his bike for 3kms 😂 He basically drove home and they followed him all the way and up to his apartment. He was barely able to speak, but signed paperwork that night.😂 They found some more drugs in his place. He lost his license on the spot. Had to proof to the court it wasn't his drugs.
That was before I met him! We met like 6 months after. He had quit alcohol completely, the drugs weren't his. They were left from a party the week before. I actually believed this part. Cos it would be a thing that would show in his behaviour. He wasn't someone who liked that.
His need for alcohol however... kept showing more and more the closer he got to getting his license back. Like ANYTHING with hidden alcohol, like marcipan chocolate, he would devour! He never ate dessert. He would maybe take a second piece of chocolate, if we decided to have some sweets. He would eat marcipan in other desserts. But the day he bought that specific chocolate...by the time I wanted a piece...it was totally gone. He acted like it wasn't anything unusual.😅 Total narc.
But that memory makes me laugh today. It's been almost 10 years. Still it's so funny. He would start buying this regularly 😅 Oh the bs I endured...but that blindness he had for his alcoholism was somehow really funny. Cos that lie was one he believed himself. He really thought he didn't have a drinking problem
I have never understood the appeal of saunas. I mean, a sauna is just a heated room. Maybe it's a _wet_ sauna, maybe it's a _dry_ sauna, but it's just a heated room. You go in, you sit down, and then... what? You nap? I mean, it's heated, so that response sounds natural. If you're gonna be awake, though, it sounds like a good place to sit and be bored. If you're gonna go with friends and socialize, well, that could be fun, but is a heated room really ideal for that? Aren't there better places to sit and be social?
This might enlighten you a little more on sauna culture. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sauna
In Germany, people in the medical field have to work 24 hours shifts. Part of their working time is declared as "Bereitschaftsdienst" but in fact, they have to be present in the hospital, and they work normally in order to step up. So it is actually illegal to work that long in Germany but it happens regularly anyway. 😕
I assumed that medical professions had their own rules or didn't follow them as strictly because it is a very understaffed sector (no matter what country you are from).
Every rumor about US food seems to true
You should have corporal punishment of children in the list. Sweden was first to make it illegal in 1979 but it has been illegal in Germany since 2000.
I never thought about driving bicycles in this way. Sure, if you're drunk, you can be a reason of an incident with different consequences. Driving whatever with a foggy brain should be regulated, I assume. Hmm, nice topic to discuss, actually.
If you are a self employed person, you laugh about 8h working time, especially when you start your business and have to build it up.....
Not to talk about building a home simultaneously, or... Yes there can be more: a baby or a seriously sick partner. Can be 😵💫😮💨 in the end.
And y'all say we germans are nasty because we don't use super strong no sweat deodorant?! Yet you use the sauna dressed to shoes... Tststststs ;-)
Carrying a gun is another thing 😉
You are speaking out of my soul.
I wish that was illegal as well 😅
@@HayleyAlexis I disagree, but I respect your opinion. Thanks for answering 😎
You can carry a gun in germany. Muzzleloaders with match- or flintlock ignition are not subject to any restrictions. Most Germans just don‘t know that. You only need a permit to purchase black powder. I‘m just afraid you won‘t be taken very seriously.
Wow you work 12 hours. Omg
😵💫😵💫😵💫 hence me not having much time for UA-cam at the moment
@@HayleyAlexis oh really
after all this resistance against a breathalizer test, the police was surely surprised that you were basically sober 😂
you acted for some minute like someone who has drunk something like 8 beers or half a bottle of whiskey or so - and then the breathalizer probably showed just 0.1 promille (0.01%) or less😅
i was so shocked at the time... granted it was almost 10 years ago but still....very interesting experience
can you say what the work ethic in the us is? In Germany I dont feel their is a very positive mindset about working more,it probably is also because in Germany taxes are high and you dont really get compensated enough often times
I think Germans have a healthier relationship with work than US citizens but to be completely honest I believe a lot of people (in the US and in Germany) don't LOVE working 🤣
@@HayleyAlexis thanks for the response, working without a vision and not getting paid enough is probably a bad combination
Your mom must have Geico. What a terrible insurance company.
Actually no but they are crappy
ROTFLMAO
I think the insurance is high in the US because of the high rate of car accidents,the insurance in the USA probably loses a lot more than they can afford!
I just looked up the top 5 insurance companies in Florida which make up about 80% of all insured vehicles and they all brought in multibillions in profits in 2023 and going into 2024. An insurance company is not struggling at all here
@@HayleyAlexis hmm, then maybe the price is based on the frequency of accidents? That’s common, they would calculate risk. But I don’t doubt they are also trying to full their pockets😒
Could be a factor but the person I know is in a smaller town where accidents are not that common.
@@HayleyAlexis 🤔 that amount is really high, I am just trying to make sense of it. With a 1000 per month I don’t understand how people could have a car in the US! damn..
@@ThePinkPearllyeah, I think there is a connection. They take a look at their cost (depending on the number/cost of accidents plus a safety margin), management expenses (including boni) and planned profits for their shareholders and then they know how much to charge their customers. If there are less accidents than expected they will have to raise the boni or shareholder profits.
