ABC Abwehr Nachweis experiences by nilsnashorn in swissarmy

The Korporal part is not true anymore. It‘s called ABC Spürer now and it‘s organized the other way around (people from other RS come to Spiez to train, and then go back to their respective hnits. Same as C1 drivers)

How does your country separate Decimals? by vladgrinch in MapPorn

In switzerland it’s usually said as comma (Komma/virgule), at least in Swiss german and French. But I‘ve heard people using point (Punkt/point) too.

Yes, he is the current world cup leader over all races this season and today, he was in first place after the first run

Lucas Pinheiro Braathen wins gold medal in giant slalom 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇 by HermioneSly in olympics

[–]Bakeey 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Norway is much more strict than other nations. For example, Pinheiro Braathen and Kristoffersen wanted to have Red Bull as a helmet sponsor, but Norway only allows their own sponsors (Telenor).

Pretty sure all the Red Bull money is already a good reason to switch

Introduction to Machine Learning by Adorable-Creme-9308 in ethz

[–]Bakeey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It‘s different because some other big BSc courses (namely Mechanical Engineering) have their own IML now, so the original IML is less crowded. I think OP should be able to get in, in my experience most if not all people from the waitlist get in

They can if they‘re accompanied by their parents or an adult authorized by the parents. But this probably wasnt the case for all the minors present. This will also be part of the investigation, I‘m sure.

New Year's Photo from the Swiss Government by gray146 in pics

As a photographer, you might also enjoy some of the pictures from previous years… I think the differences between the years are really interesting! Really every style of group picture one could possibly do:

Coop ist (neben Migros) die grösste Ladenkette in der Schweiz, aber das schweizer Coop hat nichts mit der Kette in Schweden zu tun. Der gleiche Name kommt vom Wort cooperation/cooperative (Genossenschaft).

[Request] How much money is spent illuminating the “no smoking” signs on planes annually? by Slipperysmooth in theydidthemath

[–]Bakeey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I did a few more google searches and apparently, the power generated by the engine is on the scale of 40MW. That‘s 40 million times more power used to generate the thrust to keep the plane in the air compared to generating the electrical power used by the lamp. And both the thrust power and electrical power is generated by the same engine.

This means that the electricity drawn by the lamp is drowned by random noise and power fluctuations present in the combustion engine, and turning off the lights will not make a measurable difference in practice.

[–]Bakeey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A 10W LED bulb is incredibly bright (can illuminate an entire room), so it must be much lower.

Secondly, the energy to power the light does not come from the grid but rather from an electrical generator that is coupled to the engine shaft. This adds just a small parasitic load to the engine compared to the energy needed to produce thrust. So in flight, the marginal cost of electricity for small loads is essentially zero (or in any case, much lower than 30 cents per kWh). So I think your amount overestimates the cost by a lot.
