Travel / Bus in Kielce (schedule) [5]

You're right - they suspended bus # 207 in 2022. However, this page: gorno.pl/asp/mpk-uruchomilo-nowa-linie-o-numerze-207-na-trasie-kielce-nowa-slupia-przez-bieliny,4,artykul,1,2570 suggests that a new bus line # 207 will start on Sep 21. There's no year mentioned and the PDF links with the schedules aren't available but they may be available on Sep 21, so check back then.

Maybe this will help. You have a PKS bus schedule between Kielce and Rudki (in black color it's for Monday-Friday and in red on the weekends).

Off-Topic / Energy-free rail from North to South? [32]

Of course they don't exist. All the "alien proofs" are as legitimate as the pictures from the moon or CGI pictures of the earth.

Off-Topic / Energy-free rail from North to South? [32]

Let me mention something else. I really hope PF people don't live the big lies:

1. The moon has its own energy source. It's like a bulb which is mostly gas. It does NOT need sun to give light. Sometimes when you see the moon during the day - why it doesn't produce any shade? Any object with mass reflects a shade when exposed to the sun, but moon doesn't. It doesn't because it is a light itself, just like each star emanates its own light.

2. Regarding gravitation - it doesn't exist. It is all BS to justify all other theories about the universe. What happens to an apple when it falls from a tree? It falls on the ground because the apple is MORE DENSE than the air. Now throw the same apple into the water - it will FLOAT. Why won't it submerge deep down the earth if gravitation is so strong to keep gazillions gallons of water in the ocean from falling down from the "spinning" Earth? Because the water is more dense than the apple.

There it is. Think about it, this NASA / planets / galaxies "science" is all a lie.

Feedback / Who deserves to inherit Polish Forums? [344]

Funny, it's basically a long version on what I wrote earlier on search engines and forums, a very interesting read if you're into marketing and stuff:

Feedback / Who deserves to inherit Polish Forums? [344]

Don't know if it's a coincidence but I see more and more search results in google from various forums, reddit, or quora. It looks the AI is managing search results now and it realized people are looking for real content, real connections, no matter if it has spelling mistakes or unpopular opinions. People are tired of robotic content sold in a nice package. Google has been manually pushing "brands" in the last decade because they could make money selling ads to those brands and their competitors, but maybe they gave up and will try again giving searchers what they want, just like they did back in 2000-2015.

Study / "Dirty Polish" - I want to buy this book [22]

The cover is a little confusing. They call it "everyday slang" but then there's the word "fuk off" in Polish. I'd assume "fuk off" is not a slang, but a curse word. Slang usually refers to regular words commonly used in everyday conversations, but said in a different manner; usually not by the way of cursing.

Real Estate / Never Rent Your Home in Poland! [9]

I've heard similar stories, but not in such details, thanks for sharing. Some Polish guy told me that they have been dealing with a similar situation where tenants wouldn't pay and wouldn't leave.

His solution was to rent the same house to share to a couple of Ukrainian contractors. The original tenants who stopped paying called the police but when the owner explained that he doesn't want to "illegally" evict them but just wants to have new tenants to share the house, the police couldn't do anything about it because the owner doesn't want them to move out, which is allegedly "illegal" without a court eviction notice. The original squatters moved out a few days later. But it's a pity the law doesn't care about landlords in Poland and they have to go through this.

I wonder on how many forums you'd been banned from before PF embraced you and you even become religious which is the best thing that could've happened to you ;)

Genealogy / Searching for lost ancestors / information [5]

I don't get why they would use so many curly letters. Being Polish I understand only a couple of words, like "Z wojska na Piekary 15"? on the last image.

Feedback / Who deserves to inherit Polish Forums? [344]

And seriously, do you know any other forum or social media that allows completely anonymous posters (hi Ron ;) to post without having an account? I imagine it's not easy to manage it and keep it from spammers but PF did it (probably on and off to keep spammers and abusers at bay).

Feedback / Who deserves to inherit Polish Forums? [344]

To me a forum like this is not just a form of communication. It's like going to a place where you can hear stories you'd never hear otherwise from people who still have the guts to tell it how it is. On other means people are either forced to self-censorship or are censored by shadow-banning and all this AI stuff. If you cannot handle the truth, PF may not be good for you :{}

But would they? This site has history, search engines rankings, people who know it from recommendations etc.. A new website would take years or decades to catch up with someone devoted to the cause.

History / Szeptunka Greek Catholic? [2]

It's very rare to use or hear this word "szeptunka" but it does exists in Polish (had to make sure ; ) It means something like a healer / whisperer indeed and is related to the Orthodox church. Still, I don't think it's actually related to the church (for sure not to Catholic); it's like a Polish version of Indian healers. They believe more in nature than God.

Feedback / Who deserves to inherit Polish Forums? [344]

I've been a member of Reddit on a few different topics, including Poland. To sum up - people there are idiots. Most are aggressive and overly sensitive when you point out their stupidity and lack of knowledge. What's funny is that they *think* they are a part of a cool and free community where anything goes without censorship, but Reddit went public on stock market this year and they are no different than other corporate / FBI / CIA connected entities like Google, FB, Google, X, Youtube with shadow banning etc. The stupidest (or the "loudest") posters or posts get the most "karma."

Study / "Dirty Polish" - I want to buy this book [22]

It just confirms the fact that whenever I mention I'm Polish to a foreigner, they start cursing at me (dirty words are for some reason attractive to people to learn).

News / Polish Border Security Forces allowed to use deadly force on the Belarusan border [26]

I thought the use of deadly forces on the border has been established a long time ago in Poland. I mean, a few years ago I saw Polish border patrol with guns - they looked real to me.

Could be a good opportunity for the right people who work or do business online. A well-established website is like real estate in good location. I don't mind posting as long as I'm not bothered by an overzealous moderator ::

Polonia / Almost not allowed in Sweden without my Polish passport. [2]

It's not quite normal. Dual citizens can carry whichever passport they want. However, IF they know you (can they know it somehow?) that you had entered Poland on your Polish passport, they may require to enter the bordering country on the same passport. Today's system may be interconnected and they may know more than you want them to ;|

Life / Opole Voivodeship - opinions and experiences [3]

I like Opole in general, but personally prefer the Wroclaw or Sroda Slaska areas.

Life / Expectations of Godparent in Poland [2]

You're expected to participate in the child's important milestones in life, that includes: confirmation, marriage, death. Besides, if something happens to the child's parents, you promise to take care of the child as if he/she was your own. You may also be expected to give gifts on these milestones.

Real Estate / An equivalent of heating range / cooker in Poland? [4]

It doesn't look like central heating system to me : )

Law / How to obtain a driving licence. Can I use my own vehicle for a car test here in Poland? [3]

I think you cannot do the 30 hours of practical driving using your own car. The reasons: 1) the company needs to make money by letting you use their own car, 2) I think the company's car is supposed to have an "instructor break pedal" in case something goes wrong.

Your private car is not equipped with such safety features. On the other hand, you can take the test using your own car as long as it has valid insurance, registration.

Real Estate / What's your opinion on cooperative ownership (spoldzielcze wlasnosciowe prawo) when buying a flat? [2]

I think the ownership type is not a problem, but make sure they don't want you pay for heating all year long and watch out for other fees. It's similar to an apartment managed by an association. There are a lot of such flats in Poland and overall it makes sense to buy as long as you're aware of these fees.

Law / How to find lawyer in Poland to contest ZUS (social security) benefit amount [2]

I'd do a search for the keyword "prawnik" (lawyer) and add a name of the area / town to get leads. Most lawyers in Poland, especially from the new generation, should be able to speak English (if not, they have automatic translators).

Genealogy / Information on a surname prefix / affix + side question [4]

"Kasp" or "Kas" doesn't mean anything in Polish ("Kasa" means "cash money" in colloquial Polish). A short form of Mikolaj? Well, could be Mik, Miko, or Misiu ;) - there's no established short form here.

Travel / Białowieża on the ground [2]

I'd recommend visiting there between May and September. The less tourists, the better ;) Maybe it was due to a little panic in Poland back then about the Ukrainian/Russian war.

Work / Popular Food Delivery Apps in Poland? [4]

You can look up online: Cecha, UpMenu, Pyszne, Uber Eats (Poland), Glovo, Wolt, or Bolt Food.

Real Estate / Sentimental values considered by Poles when moving into a new rental home [2]

It's up to an individual. To me a reliable renal home without the need to do repairs is much more valuable than a sentimental or historical building that leaks from the roof or where heating doesn't work. Location is equally important.

History / Poland relations with Italy 1939-43? [4]

An interesting question. I don't know the answer, but Italy being close to Germany during the WW2 may suggest the relations weren't too good back then. Still, I doubt Poles would blame Italians for the war or damages.
