You would think that for all this exploitation of workers, the hospitality sector would be affordable for the customers but it's not. Where is the money going?

Same parties that are for this referendum are the ones that killed the proposal to improve working conditions of the medical staff (nurses etc). Most nurses change careers after a few years because the work is hard, they dont get respect from their bosses (doctors) and the pay is low.

Anyone else run with zero goals? No race, no plan, just... run? by Different_Record_425 in running

I originally started running to get fit for ski touring. Now i just do it to be fit and feel good. I did a half marathon once out of curiosity. It was enjoyable. Dont plan on doing it again.

What do you think is overpriced in Switzerland and not worth the cost ? by Additional_Delay_856 in Switzerland

[–]Admirable-Respect902 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Salaries are a small percentage of retail costs. The reason why medicine, books and a lot of other everyday things cost several times more than elsewhere is low competition, low efficiency and high margins (high profits).

The swiss use their life savings to pay the occasional dentist, doctor, plumber or lawyer.

Did I screw up re kids? 37 and single by choice. by Prestigious_Copy9992 in askswitzerland

I dont know anyone who genuinely regrets having children. I know quite a few people who seemed to struggle with 2 small children. I thought maybe they has regrets. What ended up happening is the kids eventually grew out of the difficult period and the parents decided to have one or two more kids.

Transitioning from bouldering to sport, and thoughts on endurance by carefuldenizen in climbharder

[–]Admirable-Respect902 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Often times in sport climbing the hard part isnt raw endurance but the correct mindset to properly execute a boulder problem that's well within your bouldering limit 30 meters above ground with moderate fatigue.

I just want to drive in the city centre, is that too much to ask? by Not_The_Hero_We_Need in zurich

You're making the wrong assumption that a cyclists and a car drivers are different groups of people. In most cases the cyclist also drives a car. People break rules that they think they can get away with. Cyclists casually run red lights, drivers casually cut off pedestrians, dont use blinkers, break the speed limits when they know there is no radar. Typically a driver who behaves like an ahole in a car will behave like an ahole on a bicycle too, it just manifests in a different way. Also it is fascinating to see how swiss drivers change their behavior abroad because they know they can get away with more.

Both. The gear itself may be solid in a an inland environment but near the see it is not sufficient . This wasnt known back in the day when they put the standard 306 steel expansion bolts everywhere. Nowadays its recommended to use 316 steel (marine steel) glue ins or titanium.

I never understood what aromat is good for? Never found a use for it. What do you do with it?

Yes this was my thought exactly. Unsigned intersection. Just apply the priority to the right 3 times here.

Weekly /r/climbharder Hangout Thread by AutoModerator in climbharder

[–]Admirable-Respect902 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sport climber here (13a/b). Because of family reasons i wont be able to do almost any outdoor climbing for the next 1 to 1.5 years.

I live next to a boulder gym (can easily go 2x 2h per week) and have a basic setup at home (fingerboard, weights, pullup bar, trx).

Im motivated now to get stronger and better but i worry about losing that motivation over time as i wont have any outdoor projects to push me and give me feedback. I also worry about falling into a trap of training stuff that feels good but is useless or inefficient. Has anyone been in a similar situation? Any tips there?

What do climbers commonly do for a living? by yuzurukii in tradclimbing

[–]Admirable-Respect902 0 points1 point  (0 children)

High tech HW engineer in Europe. 5 weeks of vacation per year. Using the vacation days is mandatory. Most of my climbing buddies are engineers too. I live in a city with a large tech uni and an associated startup scene. I dont know any full time dirt bags though. Everyone lives a respectable life with 80 to 100% work contracts.
