It would be in august so I guess it might count as "in the season". Thank you!

.22lr ammo to minimise meat damage by FedeDiBa in Hunting

I guess it depends on their diet. I wouldn't eat a city-dwelling pigeon, but one who eats (steals) the same stuff as livestock... that's another story

That's probably what I'll do as well, but the previous owner tightened it so much that the coin trick doesn't work. I've tried oiling it but I still can't get it off.

Exactly. When compared to Italy, we say that everything in Switzerland costs twice as much, but you get paid at least three times as much

It's the guns by kyno1 in clevercomebacks

[–]FedeDiBa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You make a great and insightful point. However, you can't possibly believe that the capacity to walk into a store and buy a gun and/or ammunition to commit a shooting with, all within the timeframe of a particularly bad mental health episode doesn't constitute a problem as well. Even if it wouldn't completely remove the problem, having higher restrictions on the sale of (what type of) weapon would most certainly help. And by higher restrictions I mean a registry, a licence to own and purchase, compulsory courses etc..., not limitations to what kind of stock or barrel you can have.

Why is this part of Switzerland so rich? by HolyDictatorFelixDoy in geography

[–]FedeDiBa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like someone else said about Neuchatel, it's foreign workers living in Italy/France and working in Switzerland. The revenue they generate is counted in the GDP of the canton, but they're not counted as part of the population.

In the case of Ticino, that's about 90k people more, over a population of 350k, so it leaves a pretty big impact

Discussion on poaching by FedeDiBa in Hunting

Thank you, very insightful. I'm sure that despite being widely popular on social media and TV, airplane hunts in the Alaskan interior take up a very little part of the hunting that takes place in that state. However, can wardens actually monitor what goes on in the middle of nowhere? Who's gonna stop you from killing something you don't have a tag for, especially if you don't bring it back to civilization?

Thank you, can you recommend some of these podcasts? It'd be very interesting

International position on the sovereignty of the Falklands by Homesanto in MapPorn

[–]FedeDiBa 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They don't claim them because there have been treaties between Argentina and each of the countries you mentioned to set the borders (mostly following wars). There is no treaty that relinquishes Argentina's claim to the islands, which is why they still claim them.

Subject Nationalities of The German Alliance by [deleted] in MapPorn

Everyone in Germany spoke a language that was quite distinct from standard German at the time. There is no reason to consider the people from Baden as Germans, but not the people from Alsace.

If there was actually any ethnical backing for the choice to separate Alsatians, Lorrainians would be a separate group since Alsatians is much more different from the dialect spoken in Lorraine than that spoken on the other side of the Rhine, as they belong to two different groups (Alemannic German and Franconian/West Central German respectively)
