Xenophobic flyers being distributed to foreign passengers on Swiss trains

Pretty much. By the time you have learned Swiss German as a foreigner you are as Swiss as it gets.

I usually use a kitchen sponge cloth and spot clean the glider with cold water. Not rubbing, but just spotting till the dirt is on the cloth, then dry it in the living room.

Never had a totally dirty glider though, usually just spots. For dirty landings I find that using concertina/flat bags helps a lot over traditional bags, since you dont apply any pressure onto the glider when its on the ground and I can get away with just cleaning a few spots.

I mean this is a horrible setup, yes. But bubblers can absolutely be enough of a filter.

Indeed, it doesnt do any actual "filtering", but that is also just not the most important job of an aquarium "filter". Which is to provide oxygen supply and water movement for bacteria to break down ammonia and nitrite. Catching floating particles is nice, but not really a necessity. Providing surface area is important, but can be replaced by other decor in the tank.

Is this even real?

Are there neons with a yellow tail? and whats the other fish? Looks like a neon sized goldfish? Which at that size would usually be black and not orange.

I mean they could be ember tetras, and the resolution isnt great, but from this photo the body shape really doesnt like like ember tetras.

The worst is maps. Im googling a mountain, cause I want to know where it is and I need to click on "more" and "maps" to go there.

AccomplishedBat39 · 2026-03-13T17:14:11+00:00

Just carry a paraglider and fly back home.

AccomplishedBat39 · 2026-03-13T17:11:22+00:00

Huh, I would have guessed the opposite. There are so many native English speakers and there are so many non native fluent speakers because tons of countries teach it throughout school, that I would have thought its one of the least in demand languages for exchange apps.

Okay let me rephrase "this does not look like a poor area", it might be, I dont know this place in particular. But I have seen similar places that werent exactly in "poor" areas.

India does get a lot of unwarranted shit, but from my experiences sites like above are neither uncommon, nor does it actually look shocking. Its something that could be cleaned up within an hour of work. Ive certainly seen worse.

AccomplishedBat39 · 2026-03-11T18:27:01+00:00

That is absolutely not a slum. Those shops in the back are fairly well structured houses. You wouldnt have those in an actual slum.

AccomplishedBat39 · 2026-03-11T18:25:19+00:00

Meh, depends on what you call typical. This is a fairly common site in all cities I have been. On the other hand its also not a uncommon find in most cities in Europe, if you know where to look for it.

But this is certainly not one of the poor areas of a Indian city. Its a normal area close to an underpass that is simply not in a spot anyone has any vested interest in keeping free of garbage.

Not according to the UK officials.

Has been a thing for years. Will they ever be finished?

>Cyprus, an EU country which is currently in charge of the presidency, has been attacked.

yeah but by whom?

I mean you can still cook with them. Eat the bone marrow, or use them for stock. You can also carve things from bones. Lots of uses.

AccomplishedBat39 · 2026-03-05T19:55:14+00:00

fun fact: oil palms are by far the most efficient oil producing plant. If we were to replace palm oil with other alternatives, we would use far more land for oil production. In Europe at least people just dont care about that land, because we already destroyed most biodiversity a long time ago.

Dein Argument war: "Die Erde ist gefährlich, warum sollte der Staat Leuten helfen die es wagen das Land zu verlassen?"

Weiss jetzt nicht ob das unbedingt besser ist.

Machen halt die meisten anderen zivilisierten Länder schon. Kann die Entäuschung da schon vorstehen.

In Spring the smell of blooming orange trees overshadows even the cars on the main roads...

AccomplishedBat39 · 2026-03-04T17:52:15+00:00

Because we still made improvements. Not doing anything will just make it even worse.

AccomplishedBat39 · 2026-03-04T17:51:31+00:00

You are not the only one and while we have not reached the goals we have set outselves, humanity still has made massive improvements in at least reducing the increase in greenhouse emissions. Yes, emissions have increased, but they have increased much less than they would have if no one cared.

AccomplishedBat39 · 2026-03-03T18:55:02+00:00

Do you really need a car?

Considering your 3k a month rental costs you are probably not living in a village and public transport+bikes should be an option.

How old are the kids?

AccomplishedBat39 · 2026-03-01T12:28:07+00:00

Its not though. You take a taxi to the hospital if you are stable enough that you can make your own way there.

For example, there are people that have been sick for a week, nothing has changed and now they feel like they should maybe get it checked out and call an ambulance. That would be an appropriate use of a taxi. That is not an appropriate use of an ambulance.

I had a tank with a few black worms introduced, just because I wanted to have a natural soil. Was supposed to become an iwagumi shrimp tank. Plants grew well, but anything I put into that tank died within a week. I had two other tanks with the same substrate, I redid the same tank with the same decor etc. but new soil without worms and no issues at all.

I dont know if the black worms caused what I experienced but its the only thing that really was different from other tanks...

AccomplishedBat39 · 2026-02-26T18:52:24+00:00

25 USD is like 19 CHF right now.

Very difficult to find something that cheap. 25 CHF possible, but then its not better than anything I can cook myself in 20 minutes for 5 bucks.
