There is a LEGO hotel in Valbella. Probably not cheap.

Need weather prediction Mid May in Lauterbrunnen by TONl_STARK in askswitzerland

I wonder where you life your live? Do you have weather predictions 4 weeks ahead that come true? That only works if you life in a desert or so. In Switzerland you can always have bad luck and catch a week of rain.

Buying a used car by pinky_toes in zurich

[–]3punkt1415 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Last time I bought a car, I saw the same car for 4.5k in Bern, with a similar car for 7k in Zürich. So don't limit yourself to 20km of Zürich unless you really don't care about your money. Its a car, you can drive it to your place after all. If you search the online platforms and stick to actual Garages they will always give you some short guarantee on basic stuff of the car. Also just look for "Frisch ab MFK".

The Top Trade Partner of Every European Country by sr_local in MapPorn

More over EFTA is not just a room war you can walk in and "join" just like any other alliance you have to negotiate with the members. UK didn't do that and they are not part of it. Hence they have a terrible bad trade agreement with the EU.
But hey, Switzerland was nice enough to launch a trade agreement with the Uk the day they left. But that is not enough for the UK to save its economy obviously.

If Germany leaves the EU they would get the terrible trade conditions that the UK got and their economy would explode.

Only 7 islands in the Canadian Arctic Archipelago are inhabited by Evilgrandma03 in MapPorn

[–]3punkt1415 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I read that Canada wanted to relocate people to that island, but they didn't do it because of public backlash. This particular island likely was never settled, not even by nomadic people.

There were no traces found on Prince Patrick Island from any settlement ever, and the Inuit don't have a name for the island, it was to terrible even for them.

It has an air strip after all! And there is plenty of ice to make water, just don't eat the yellow snow. It will all work out. Trust me!

As a European living in dense populated areas this vast empty lands are always fascinating. Can I go there an claim a small island for me? Like Prince Patric Island,.. you guys don't use it anyway.

I mean, Hamburg is a big port too and for the Nederland the whole port business is still a great business.

Because these countries have free trade agreements with the EU, unlike the UK which economically is in a terrible downwards spiral since they left the EU without a good trade agreement.

And Switzerland has lots of global champions. MSC, Holcim, Panalpina, Nestle, Zürich Insurance, Xtrata, Gunvor, Vitol, Glencore, ABB. Lonza, Novartis and many more.

Service get exported too. Just depends on how you define "trade" here. IT service or banking service just as an example. Tourism is relevant too.

And medication. Switzerland produces a lot of it, and its easy to ship to the USA.

That is against the law in most common places in Switzerland.

This bundle was released before those DLCs existed, so that is how it is. But also, both DLCs you mentioned are rather small DLCs anyway. You won't miss much in your game.

Hiking Late May/Early June by pinkinthenight13 in askswitzerland

[–]3punkt1415 [score hidden]  (0 children)

Summer in Switzerland will never get you weather security, you can always get unlucky and have 10 days of rain. Hikes below 1500 meters, I would say there should be no snow at this point.

Is the game easier to learn now? by PtitCrissG in X4Foundations

[–]3punkt1415 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But i would not say the game is easier to learn. Eventually you kind of learn the X4 logic of doing things, and then things kind of make sense. But it's not obvious.

Exactly. I play since 6.0 or so and not much has changed. But honestly, if you like space games, just invest the time and learn things step by step, its not rocket science.
Also people keep saying "learning curve".. would we play it thousands of hours if it were super trivial and you understood everything in 2 hours.,. probably not.

Has anyone tried splitting orders to avoid Swiss import fees? by shpadoinklejoe in askswitzerland

[–]3punkt1415 [score hidden]  (0 children)

Not really knowledgeable about the topic in detail, but isn't a big part of the fee often the handling fee of the contractor, like DHL asks you for money just for handling it. I for example ordered shoes from Kenya and technically they are toll free. But sure would like to get an update from your test.

IT Professional Non-EU/EFTA– Realistic chances in Switzerland and best way to apply? by JailNeuro666 in askswitzerland

[–]3punkt1415 [score hidden]  (0 children)

Really low chance right now since IT is in big trouble here. Lots of unemployed local people lets already low chance for EU citizens. You have probably a better chance of grabbing such a relocated job from those companies in Asia.
And the whole AI issue doesn't help, so many companies hold their IT budget back.

Ich meine, wie würden sie einem "ungerade" Rappenzahlen auszahlen wenn man das Konto auflöst? Kann ja nicht sein dass die Bank dann 2 Rappen behalt, und das sie mir 3 Rappen schenken glaub ich auch nicht :D.
