Um, since when was Basel City in the French speaking part. :p
"The results also show large disparities across Switzerland. The canton of Basel City appears as most affected by far, with an average of 17 hospitalisations per 1,000…
The payment is controlled by the canton, maybe not all cantn's have the new machines, i did a license about 8 moths ago, took 20 minutes from entering the building in Blecherette (VD) to leaving with a new license.
Given that the income tax is progressive in Switzerland, is it more tax efficient to divorce than to stay married in this case of alimony ? :-)
Let me think:
- I can declare "a partner" for my 2nd pillar inheritance/pension. Check.

La Redoute Scam
Do not claim it's a scam!

You can legally get around 15 per cent reduction during months of heavy drilling and noise. Ask in writing to your landlord, who in turn will ask in writing to the company doing the work. It can be paid in arrears. The landlord should…
I had 2 pension funds Swiss Life & Axa Winterthur, both charged 500 to be transferred to PICTET one was transferred after leaving C.H. PICTET then charged 500 when I cashed out roughly 7 months after leaving CH.

Another pointer/Suggestion that might help you... the SIP Servers Switzernet use, sipNN.youroute.net where NN is a number from 1 to 31 (I think), the availability is not 100% over a year - in my opinion. So, in my case, if I have a problem…
I think the problem is that the memo that has been send out never reached everybody in the shops involved in this or people came in new and never were told about this, which is why the certified resellers often send you…
It may be less than optimal if the screw bores into the wood (perhaps not enough grip and risk of spliting the pole). Something along this design (perhaps with a very different look) where two metal parts of the Möbelfuss are essentially…

When an airline damaged one of my Rimowas it took 4 months before I got it back, as these days they have to be sent to Belgium for aome reason. It's put me off getting another apart from hand luggage.

Einsiedeln is a nice little town with an easy commute down to Pfäffikon. Taxes higher than Feienbach but still much lower than anywhere in Zurich.
If you like the outdoors, it’s great as you have everything at your doorstep.

Khashoggi in Saudi Embassy.
Every little detail of this story was obvious since day one, just the chopped body is missing. Reason why it takes this long to get the truth out on media is merely due to the US protecting the Saudis, taking further advantage from…

Hi,
I am highly recommending fellow EF member electrician OFX. He came over and hung very heavy chandelier and another two ceiling lamps very quickly. I contacted him yesterday and he came over today and finished the job in no time. He…

Hello from Hungary
Newsflash to you - she doesn't give a single f**k about your employer and what he has to say. Money only.

I went to see an orthodontist in Zug. At the moment I'm waiting for a quote for the Invisalign treatment. The friendly doctor said it's going to be nowhere near the prices that were mentioned in the thread. Well...we shall see...I will…

If you are single and don't speak much German you may want to live as close to the city of Zug as possible. While Zug has a lot to offer, it's likely you will want to be able to get into Zurich easily and the main station in Zug offers…
Let me rephrase myself. In recent years the corporate bureaucracy hijacked the term Agile. It is nothing more but a micromanagement focusing on fast delivery. Engineers should just listen to the stake holders and execute. There's no…
For a Hybrid (PHEV) to be actually useful, you have to have a specific usage-pattern.
And IMO, it only makes sense for Diesel-PHEVs.
Normal, petrol PHEVs have a rather small motor and just aren't that efficient on a long-distance…
