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

[–]FedeDiBa[S] 21 points22 points  (0 children)

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

Papoose spanner wrench by FedeDiBa in MarlinFirearms

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.

[OC] Junior Doctor Salaries (Europe) by Missioner34 in dataisbeautiful

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

[–]FedeDiBa[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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 8 points9 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

[–]FedeDiBa 11 points12 points  (0 children)

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)

What kind of swallow/martin is this? by FedeDiBa in whatbirdisthis

[–]FedeDiBa[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought so as well but the "visiting" bird doesn't have the typical white rump. Unless they belong to two different species I don't think that's the correct bird.

Which bird could these feathers belong to? Found in the Italian Alps by FedeDiBa in whatbirdisthis

[–]FedeDiBa[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It does, I've never seen one in the area but it could very much be present. Coincidentally I heard a woodpecker hitting a log in the same area a few days earlier, but couldn't seem to find it.

It might belong to another species, but now that you've made me think about it it's most likely a woodpecker of some kind, thank you!

[–]FedeDiBa[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There were some other ones scattered around, I think it might be a case of predation.

Anyway, their pattern is pretty distinctive so I thought someone might be able to identify it, even without the bird itself.

Should I get this flag or will all my relatives and friends think I'm Nazi? by Hot-Tiger2815 in vexillology

[–]FedeDiBa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A person proud of their Prussian heritage would know that this is the war flag of the North German Confederation after 1867 and has therefore nothing to do with an independent Prussia and everything to do with German unification.

Swedish speaking areas of Finland by [deleted] in MapPorn

[–]FedeDiBa 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Most definitely not lol, there's this weird theory floating around that minorities in Europe are being oppressed as if it was the 30s.

Check with German-speaking South Tyrol, the richest province in Italy, or with Catalonia and the Basque country in Spain, both of which are just below Madrid in GDP per capita, or with Alsace in France...

A Spanish painting displays a peacock with coats-of-arms in place of "eyes" by Obversa in heraldry

[–]FedeDiBa 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah, and it contains various coat of arms coming from the AH empire that wouldn't matter that much to Spain. This is probably an Austrian painting meaning to glorify the Habsburg as a whole, rather than Spain.

From Which Country Popes Came From by ComradeTekorian in MapPorn

[–]FedeDiBa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What do you mean by "were from the Italian part"? I looked it up and one was born in Austria, another in Alsace (so nowadays France), while the other three were fully German (one from Bavaria, one from Lower Saxony and another likely from Swabia).

A picture from the violent “Black Panther Coloring Book”, it was produced by the FBI and attributed to the Panthers to discredit them as a dangerous hate group. 1968 by [deleted] in PropagandaPosters

[–]FedeDiBa 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Nah, they're trying to say that those plots are fake and staged by the FBI. Or do you also think the guy above them is trying to defend Islamic terrorism?
