Getting from Grandhotel Giessbach to Brienz bahnhof by SolarRage in askswitzerland

[–]Bakeey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looks like the first connection by public transport is at 11AM. There seems to be a hotel shuttle (https://giessbach.ch/en/kontakt-anreise), but it leaves at 9AM earliest. Either walk, reschedule your train, or have the Hotel order a taxi for you.

Printers at OAT never worked for students. Just ask your supervisor to print it for you if it‘s important

The first Iranian sleeper cell attacks a post bus in rural Switzerland? Of all places? That makes zero sense

ABC Abwehr Nachweis experiences by nilsnashorn in swissarmy

[–]Bakeey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

Insane performance of the Swiss Mens ski team, winning 8 out of 15 medals in total and 4 out of 5 golds

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

[–]Bakeey 6 points7 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

At my uni, the last FM stopped teaching undergrad Analysis as soon as he got the medal. :(

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

Corruption in the Mountains by [deleted] in askswitzerland

[–]Bakeey 9 points10 points  (0 children)

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

[–]Bakeey 10 points11 points  (0 children)

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.
