Weightlifting shoes?

Just go with a flat sole shoe that doesn't have a lot of padding in the cushion. Converse are popular and I used to wear them but I like wider soled shoes. I got some flat and wide Pumas on clearance and they work great. There are lots of skateboarding shoe varieties that also work great. Just not the really cushiony ones. You don't want your shoes to squish when deadlifting.

Modern lies

Recently moved to an area with hard water. Wife and I were noticing more hair loss while showering. Turns out an ingredient "EDTA" can help remove buildup from hard water that damages hair. This is a common ingredient in expensive shampoos but it's also in Head and Shoulders. Wife started using expensive shampoos to help and I switched to Head and Shoulders. She just ended up using my shampoo(much cheaper) and it's been working well for us. Hope this helps others.

I love not having to drive anymore. Public transit is sometimes a little longer than driving but it's so low stress and if you do have to drive, the massive public transit infrastructure helps alleviate traffic on the roads and thus speeds things up. Win/win. I realize it's not for everyone but for me it's a huge reduction in stress, anxiety, and the extra walking was a contributing factor to losing 25 lbs in my first year here.

I hate that government stuff is painfully slow here. I lived in one of the big cities before I got a job. I booked an appointment with the immigration office in the middle of January and the earliest they could see me was mid July. 2 Months after my visa expired. It took 2 months to get an appointment for my german driver's license. We're in a smaller city now and it seems a lot faster but I haven't been here long enough to get a good idea of how much faster it is for everything.

Something that I really miss is mexican food. If you are from an area of the US with good mexican food, you'll be missing out on that here. There are some decent taco places around but otherwise I think most "mexican restaurants" here have just seen pictures of mexican food and guessed how to make it. But Döner is awesome and everywhere, so I suppose I traded Burritos for Döner.

Shows like HarmonQuest?

Faster Purple Worm! Kill! Kill!

Every episode is a one-shot with a different group of level 1 adventurers that culminates in a TPK to a way overpowered boss like a Beholder, Tiamat, etc. How they die and the story that's told is what's important. Lots of cool guest comedians/actors and TTRPG celebs. You can stream it for free on Plex.

Mindestens kostet ein 0,5L Bier nur 3€. Mit einem Bändchen muss ich mir auch keine Sorgen um Taschendiebe machen. Trotzdem verstehe ich Ihren Standpunkt. Es könnte besser sein.
