thx for the suggestions

Austria: relativly strict: you have to have a reason (hunting, self defense or sport). depending on the category of weapon a mental assessment could be necessary (not in case of hunting rifles only). automatic weapons, explosives and some other weapons are not legal to own privately. you have to securely store the weapon and need an extra permission for carrying - which is nigh unobtainable, even for active police. Transportation in a locked container and unloaded.

Well, seems like my gdpr knowledge got too rusty. at least to me its an interesting topic to actualise

that would be illegal too, because that information is not strictly necessary for their service - they could only opt to not provide the service in the eu

i used osmad successfully in austria, germany, chech republic, slovakia, denmark as pedestrian, biker and driver. i tend to download the maps because i dont like depending on internet. it works fine, routes are nearly identical to google maps (my wife doesn't trust osmand). of course you don't have actual traffic warnings - on the flipside: google does tend to invent streets ...

One time my hungry sister came by and ate a handful at once, saying it doesnt matter if they are hot ... lets say she didnt a second one, ever

i use a very similar one, in german we say: everything that doesn't pay rent gets thrown out

Same in Austria but passiv-aggressivly framed as a rhetoric question: "War dein Vater ein Glaserer?"

it seems to me (as an austrian) that the underperforming ruling parties - especially the "conservativ" övp - already started the silly season and that means thinly veiled racism is the rule because the conservatives want the right-wing votes. The sudden change could just be stupidity - the chancellor and his party are not made of the brightest because loyalty counts more atm. i sincerely believe they vetoed romania in the last moment and weren't even aware what was going on until then ...

Gratulation zu neuen sportlichkeit! nur zur info: gerade am anfang sollte man es nicht übertreiben weil die Stützmuskulatur zb in den Knien die Belastung nicht gewohnt ist und man sich daher leicht verletzen kann. und dann hat man zwangspause ...

austrian here: absolutely correct, the decision was simply xenophobic. The poll-failing government tried to its push inner austrian popularity by this. Actions like this one were common place when Kurz became chancellor, his successor is stupid beyond belief and doesn't know what else to do.
