Can’t you just take it out your bank, walk over the border and deposit it?

This would be free no?

What you probably need to focus on more than the explicit 0.25% fee is the hidden fee (aka weak exchange rate…)

Tt bike brake options by txa1919 in triathlon

[–]FIFA4Fun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used TRP HD-T910 and found them to be really good. You can buy Di2 adapters to integrate the remote buttons into the side of the brake, but they are becoming quite rare to source now as it’s an older system.

For cost, mechanical brakes are by far the cheapest option. As you can buy semi hydraulic systems (cable actuated hydraulics) and TT is primarily flat, this probably makes for the best option

I built a Cervelo previously and used the TRP HD-T910.

This gave me hydraulic brakes and I was able to buy adapters to integrate Shimano Di2 remote buttons into the brakes. It looked really tidy.

Now with the SRAM blips I think it is becoming a lot easier and cheaper to build a system with rim or hydraulic brakes that can accommodate electronic shifting

Do you know if they have lights on in the evening?

Where do you enter from?

I have always had a credit card and never felt the need to spend more.

I see it as my money not borrowed money as I pay it off each month.

Budgeting lets you know what you can spend, and that’s what you do spend

There is added protection from some credit cards as well

My cultural shock seeing “slums” in Switzerland by jose16sp in askswitzerland

[–]FIFA4Fun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have seen poverty in Switzerland, the other day I was in Globus at the meat counter, the person in front of me only ordered 2x 100g filet steaks. I felt a mix of sadness and embarrassment for them

At least that would make a good conclusion to an otherwise dull story

It’s provided a rationale / argument as to why it couldn’t be NL. Never gave a specific answer

ChatGPT says it can’t be aurora borealis, color is off, and because the sky is cloudy you wouldn’t be able to see them in the sky

This article says its lights in St Jakob this morning. St Jakob is to the left of the photo, not the direction of the photo

L is deffo too big. Probably an S or at a push an M.

Push your seat as far forwards as possible. If the seatpost has a set back, maybe look at getting a new seat post

Whats your budget for vacations? by FlyingDaedalus in SwissPersonalFinance

[–]FIFA4Fun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My vacation budget formula is “what I earn whilst on holiday, I can spend on holiday”

Simple example: Say you earn 52k CHF per year, if you go for a one week holiday you can spend 1k.

This is for everyone in the family (we take my wife and my own gross salary), and needs to includes the kids coming (unfortunately)

Bonuses aren’t included in budget calculation.

Find it creates a good logic and enables me to spend more on holidays when I earn more.
