Is 93k ok for an engineer?
Where is the famous poverty comment?
93 for MSc with 5 years is ok, even though I'd expect it to be already closer to six digits. But it depends on the field. If it is some generic non-pharma related job (i.e.…
I find videos incredibly slow.
I suppose they may be useful for learning a new technique but for a recipe, I just need to know the ingredients, the method and approx. cooking times and I can get all this in thirty seconds from a…
Another FYI:
I mentioned Emily Larlham upthread, a trainer/behaviorist I very much admire, whose articles and videos have helped me countless times.
Here is her website:

Another update, I have a fantastic landlord.
The tables returned on Tuesday - last night, they had the nerve to set up a "smoking station" for their employees. My husband went down and took photos.

Stretch Film/Wrap
Well, in Switzerland I think this kind of plastic, in theory at least, is collected with the household rubbish and incinerated - which means at least it is used for producing heat/energy (albeit in a CO2-unfriendly way) and does not end…

Office Chair for home office
An office chair is bit like a bed, you spend a considerable amount of time in both yet many people loo for the cheapest option and then complain they do not sleep well or have a bad back from too much time in a shitty chair.

Interior Car wash
Wow.
As they say: All it takes for evil to prevail is a few good people doing nothing.
From what I've read, often these scammers - if they are not part of an organized crime gang - are just dumb.
For example, I read a story about…

Monkeypox
Recent data appears to suggest that sex between men, not skin contact, is fueling the spreading of the disease.
The jury's still out on that, the conclusion disputed, but it seems clear that the good old condom at least decreases the…
I recently inherited a six-figure amount in GBP. I no longer have an account in the UK and didn't want it transferred into an existing CHF account with a random exchange rate. My bank opened a GBP bank account for me and the money was…
Kind of what the notary should be taking care of... Also up to you to decide what happens there and is a discussion. No you should not send 10% willy nilly to a third party in a random bank account, yes you should send 10% to an escrow…
FWIW I paid CHF 700 to extend the manufacturer's warranty on our Subaru for two years. But if you now have *no* warranty, then the situation is slightly different.
I would also consider claiming on the seller's liability insurance. When I…

Dog hotel near Buchs
We used to use these folks in Bäretswil (they do dogs and cats)

They were very nice, and our old dog liked them. Then, they took time off to do a bicycle tour of Australia, I think, and we ended up…
Ah, this is new. I was hoping that the landlord agreed to the contract not being valid, and was just trying to forget you. But no, he's going the nasty way (after 2 months???)

2) both yallo and sunrise are basically the same company
