Instant Pot
LOL, as to the eggs, yes they are easier to peal if cooled down quickly in iced water - which I was taught to do under the tap at the age of ... 7?
Anyway, back then I decided against buying a pressure cooker, simply because I…
Probably true, but no harm in that. Seems like a good way to reduce waste.
I eat cauliflower rice quite a lot but always make my own. TBH I prefer the taste and consistency of conventional rice but the cauliflower version is great for…
I am pretty sure your post will be ignored!
Yes, probably some parents will be more concerned than others. It's so shocking and brutal. At the end of the day trying to figure out a motivation for such a cruel and absurd act is…
Just wanted to say the figure of 1000k is a bit high for a new build since even in Beobachter they mentioned 800chf per cubic meter. Our bank is using 850chf per cubic meter which they are willing to finance. Anything above goes into…

Removable Wallpaper
I guess it depends why you would want to remove the wallpaper in future.
If it is a rental appartment and you don't want to pay for redecoarting when you leave, as others have said, even removable wallpaper is likely to leave some stains…

Family reunification
Are you aware that a child born in Switzerland does not automatically get Swiss citizenship. The child would have the same nationality as the parents and the same legal status.
If you child is born in Finland he or she would not have…

Outdoor First Aid Training
We've some more dates for 2019. As before, suitable for all NGB (BAIML, BASI, MTUK, BHPA etc etc) awards and I've had some approvals from forest schools programmes as well.
We've accommodation available in Leysin (of our own) and from a…
That's not what the letter says, as per your initial post. Now, of course they may have made an error and provided the false reason, but if I had to bet either on what you assume or what's mentioned in the letter I'd bet on the letter…

Change property deed...
A friend works in a large bank. In the course of restructuring, his department had to take on tasks from a newly disbanded department. Too much work, but no approved hiring headcount. The manager, seeing everyone taking strain, got a…

Co-working area at Zurich ?
Once in a while, even the trolls on EF seem to take a break from here and visit Real Life. Now, thanks to a most un-troll-like EF member, we have a clue where they may be lurking... at least the ones in Zurich.
For a senior scientist position in pharma you are looking at 150K + ~25K bonus easily. Pharma companies in Switzerland have a hard time filling scientist positions in general. Plenty of room for salary negotiation, especially if your skill…
Attached see the document 'Nachteilausgleich' from the Volkschulamt Zürich for children with special educational needs, and what adaptations can be made in tests and exams.
If you are not in Kanton Zürich, your educational authority…

Tax on property sale...
I've merged this with the most recent of many similar threads. Yes, I know Canada isn't the US, but for the purposes of this question I think there's enough in common, so here'sa load of other threads for you to…
In Zurich, Mesa (as recommended earlier) is an amazing choice. Kasier's Reblaube also good.
But my personal tip for the top is the Hotel Storchen. Don't be put off by the fact it is a Hotel restaurant. Upstairs and inside, there's a…
What do you mean?
Worms were suggested as a therapy.
Fasting, btw, is awesome treatment for...all (seems to me). Gut health is a must, indeed. I can't find enough fresh fermented non-dairy stuff, don't have the time to ferment myself.
Hello,
My advice to you is to live in Zug as they have low taxes in that Canton and to send your child to the local school. Their education is better than in a private school (my opinion as a teacher). You have to wait, however, until your…
It is indeed. You can deduct the BVG contributions under cypher 16.
However, if you fill the amount from the Lohnausweis social security contributions are already dedected from into cyphers 1 and 2, you can ignore cypher 16. That's why I…

Racism in Conforama
Today I was in Migros City ( Zürich ) restaurant. There was a big word fight between an elderly guy and 3 head covered women. They were accusing the man of being a racist and it got pretty verbal. One of the kitchen staff had to come to…

Fascism parfumes ad WTF?
By accepting the offer the Palestineans would have accepted Israel's claim on their soil, the Palestineans part of Palestine as outlined in the UN's proposition. It's as if Germany had invaded Switzerland(*) and offered free German…

Document translations
I would only use the English originals (simple copies not the actual originals ;) ). But certainly do not use Google Translate :eek:
deepl.com is pretty good for an automated translation. A German speaking person might still proof…

I had a practical example of that last month - I had to drive out of an underground garage in Davos where our car had been parked for a few days. The garage was dry but the ramp was steep and covered in snow.
I tried to drive out…
I am a UK citizen, marrying a US citizen in Mexico this year!
Do you need a certificate of no impediment as our wedding planner at hotel in Mexico hasn't flagged that, I just got my birth certificate with an apostille and that will be…
I would go for something like a Honda Varadero, they seem to be able to bridge the gap between a tourer and a bike for the rougher terrain, comfortable enough for those long trips to centers of civilization and fast enough to do a wheelie…
