Totally agree with you BUT Pather only suggested to move the bed.
Like I did. I don't really care if it's really me not sleeping direction South/or South East that causes me sleeping problems. Should I have such problems again…
From the research I have done so far Zurich would be a good location from a transport hub perspective for the interim contracting work but Zug with its "cryptovalley" would be a good location for my own project (given the nature of the…
Same thing. The conditions of carriage and fares enforcement of a transport company are within civil law. It only becomes a criminal case if, for example, you punch the ticket inspector on the nose. If Germany has a law that says…

Is there a waiting period?
You're welcome.
No I don't have a straight forward answer how to sort out which version you would like/would be best for you ;) Also I am not a insurance agent.
According to this (German but hey, you quote Polo Hofer :)), you…

Learning more about bike repair?
Yes, that's a big reason why I avoid doing too much as well. I'm lucky enough that I don't NEED to take my bike but I hate not taking my bike to work so I'm always worried about putting it out of commission for too long. I also don't…
Will try and get a long this year (I always seem to forget it is on until these EF reminders :) ) . The list of systems that will be there this year looks very interesting.
Note to self - Must enter a note in the diary and email them in…
Maybe you can find something for yourself amongst startups? You did not write anything about your skills. Can you help in office IT, customer support, sales? I hope that startups may be more willing to hire you quickly as they usually…

Unilateral Holiday Cut?
Chocolate is a comfort food; the best chocolate for anybody is very usually the chocolate they had when you were a kid.
As usual, the best is very relative and what is good for you is not good for me quite simply.

Employment in Vaud
I got the language classes sponsored, cannot really recommend it. It is nowhere equal to a traditional course.
I know people who learned the language quite fast by self-learning courses, youtube, TV and language exchange tandems. Of…
It's expensive, but so is Switzerland. For my car the lowest quote I got was 900 chf for oil and filter change and inspection. I ended up driving just across the border in Germany and paid around 250 eur. Additionally I claimed back…
But seeing the stations are in the air, they can easily fit in above existing facilities at said stations, with some modifications of course to provide access to the platforms.
I don't think the strains on cables are an issue. The…
Good day to you all,
I have recently moved to the French side of Switzerland. Getting a hang of the Swiss way of life... Must say its not the easiest.
I lived in UK, Germany and now in Switzerland. Travelled quite a bit around the…

Jiffy Cornbread
Amsterdam rocks! Everyone knows it and that's why you're trying to compare it to a whole country like Switzerland. And you can't even compare Basel or Zurich...it's so much more alive, esp at night. And their parties are way more…
BTW, if you are a member of Coop's hello family then you can print pdf from this page sbb reduction and get the junior card for 20 CHF.
Actually, nobody asked me at sbb if I'm a member... I just gave them printed gutschein.
Hoi Tom,
I'm thinking of installing the Aqara switches from Xiaomi. Tested one and works beautifully. Works without Internet too.
However, no European or US certifications for the switch yet (only Chinese ones).

Seriously?
First of all this is not the point of my thread.
And second of all, I didn't say that I consider that an abuse.
I gave an example as he said it is a 50/50 fault situation.
FIY- I work 60hrs/week and he works…
Hi everyone, Just had to buy and fit winter tires here. Found a partner garage and phoned them to make an appointment. Then out of curiosity asked for a quote on the tires we'd decided on. It turned out to be the very exact same price as…
My friend recommends the following as at least being honest but I have no personal experience.

Kinderkrippe Globegarten
Dear parents, our opinion on Globegarden is based on our experience, as our child has been visiting a Globegarden daycare for quite a long time. We decided to take our child to a Globegarden daycare because of

Just Moved From HK
Did you have in mind some sort of app that would show you where a book you're interested in is being sold and at what price, the way it exists for gas stations and probably many other consumption items? If so I doubt it'd catch on, as the…
My daughter left hers on a tram and I picked it up from the Fundburo the next day. Ok, it is very retro (or old as I call it, it might even be older than her, her dad gave her an old one) and the back is covered in Monster High art, so…

CV for an Apprenticeship
We all know that it is very difficult for young people to make such a decision and from what I have heard the thinking is that if the kids come from a background in the area they want to enter then they are better bets for the employer…

Insurance for 2019
No.
Exactly 30.70CHF difference for 2500CHF franchise (and even not with the same model, but lowest, Telmed for Assura vs. HMO for Swica), with my parameters.
Absolutely worth it for me, if only for the fact I can speak English with them…

A behaviour of a Teacher
Not me.
I've had teachers repeat absoluetly outrageous statments in my face.
This was about 15 years ago though. Not sure if schools have upped their act since then and got those teachers to quit or fall back into line.

Swiss Gipfeli Croissant
Exactly! I've done that in a Michelin Star restaurant in Hong Kong. The boiled tree fungus was the final straw.
For gipfeli, I love the Migros pack of 6 a bit too much, to the point that I've had to give them up because I was packing…
