house 120-150 m2 - 4000-4500 kWh / year
house 170-220 m2 - 4500-5000 kWh / year

I'd assume that native Polish contractors will not speak English (that's why they are contractors). Your other option is to hire a Polish foreman/engineer/architect who speaks English and who could foresee the job.

I think the music shop wants to abide by the law (or make it easier for you) by stating the cello was sold on Poland territory. I think it shouldn't matter for you - payment could have been done on the Internet and then the borders don't matter. If you're still worried, you may try to word it differently (eg. that the sale was "executed" in Germany, but payment was made in Poland). In general, I don't think it's something to worry about.

Off-Topic / Use your old PC or smart phone to land on the moon (or Mars) [3]
Asked AI / Google about the processing power of computers in 1970 (a year after "moon landing"). The response is below. The relevant quote:
"The total computing power of the ENTIRE WORLD in 1970 ... is a tiny fraction compared to the processing power in even PERSONAL COMPUTERS."
So your old personal computer is more powerful than all the computing power NASA had available to "put a man on the moon." When Musk has recently traveled 55 miles to, as they call it, "orbit," it was one of the "greatest achievements" in science. Compare 55 miles to 238,000 miles to the moon (55 miles is 0.00023109243 of 238K miles). Then double the miles because the astronauts "returned."
I'm not going to argue, it is just mind blowing how easy it is to fool people these days.

Life / Do young Polish people believe in their religion and God? [150]
I asked the AI bot: Who created the Earth? The response:
"According to the Bible, God created the heavens and the earth. However, according to scientific research, Earth formed around 4.54 billion years ago by accretion from the solar nebula. Volcanic outgassing probably created the primordial atmosphere and then the ocean, but the early atmosphere contained almost no oxygen. Much of the Earth was molten because of frequent collisions with other bodies. Over time, Earth began to cool and oceans of liquid water formed."
"Scientific research" is a joke. If we still assume what they write above is true, then the next questions: Who created the "solar nebula," who created the air, who created the fire, who created the wind, who created the bird, who created a dog, who created the colors, who created the stars, who created the voice, who created the gravity, who created the electricity, who created emotions, etc. We can go through millions of questions and the "scientific research" has only one answer: give it some billions years and it will all be created out of nothing. The Bible is the only answer to all these questions.

Off-Topic / Energy-free rail from North to South? [32]
Since people were told the Earth is a globe, how about this - build a railroad from the North, eg. Sweden or North of Poland down to South, eg. Italy. The train would use no energy because it would just slide from the top to the bottom of the Earth, like on a big ball. It would save a lot of energy. In fact, the heat energy produced by brakes could be stored and sold.

"Early stage" - with technology, the stage has been lowered from 8 months to 3 months (they can keep the child in an incubator to grow normal from 3 months).
Anyway, when you cut off a dick of a man, it doesn't make him a woman - it's a similar analogy.

On a daily chart, first top on May 18, second on May 20.
I'd be very careful investing in the US stock market until after the elections. It is obvious that China, the mass-media, most US corporations (Google, Facebook that face anti-trust from Trump's cabinet), WHO, and the US deep-state have been working together since Feb 2020 to collapse the US economy through the "virus" so that Trump is not re-elected. It appears to work very well (check the US voter sentiment and polls). My prediction is that between June and Sep the next market crash could be here to reach their ultimate goal, ie. removing Trump. Trump trusts the Fed but they could back-stab him; once they do (all they could do is to stop buying debt for a couple of weeks), it would be the final nail to the stock-market coffin by November.
