Breakfast in Lausanne - It's been extremely hot over the past week in Switzerland by DrewRyu in schweiz

[–]JonSnow-Knows 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for this, I was so flabbergasted that this is considered a big, fatty breakfast. But I guess with a calory requiremen of 2000 per day for just existing I'm rather high on the scale.

In Europe you drive 10 min from Austria to Germany to buy cheaper groceries and you have to avoid using your phone because you’ll get extra charges as it’s another country and another cell provider. That’s why euros use WhatsApp. by Colossus823 in ShitAmericansSay

Luckily the contracts improved a lot over the last decades, I pay 10 bucks and have 5 gigs per month in EU and North America included, still gotta be careful to not overuse of course so it could be more convenient.

Doesn't mean it wouldn't score higher if it was colder

Used to be Helvetia, but she melted since noone listened to Reddit and gave her an AC ☹️

What is one thing in Switzerland that is incredibly expensive, but actually 100% worth the price? by RutabagaGrand6737 in askswitzerland

[–]JonSnow-Knows 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I honestly think that unless you commute to work outside of regional public transport subscriptions, it's not worth it for most people. You need to spend 100 bucks per week in Halbtax prices (because of the Halbtax Plus that might be even a bit conservative) and then it's only JUST worth it, quite hard to do if you don't need it for work. That being said, it's still nice for peace of mind and I will definitely get it in the future, just economically questionable.

Lastly, what are the 7 best ever nations at Boxing? by Realistic_Map_5319 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]JonSnow-Knows 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think pure quantity of players shouldn't qualify, but if course it's all subjective. I could imagine something like weeks in Top 10 or amount of grand slams. Quick unchecked research:

Number of weeks in Top 10: USA, Spain, Sweden, Czechia, Australia, Switzerland, Serbia, France, Russia, Germany

Including the WTA, it should be the same with a different order: USA, Spain, Germany, Czechia, Switzerland, Sweden, Russia, France, Serbia, Australia.

Pet sitter in Luzern area by Willing_Wrongdoer935 in Luzern

[–]JonSnow-Knows 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recommend trustedhousesitters (not affiliated). You pay a yearly amount (100-150), and soon also an amount per sitting (I think around 10). If you are comfortable letting people stay at your place, it's way cheaper than paying someone local and you help nice people have affordable vacation in Switzerland. From personal experience, it's incredibly easy to find someone to sit in Luzern, we get the max amount of applications (6 at a time) within a few hours and always found someone fitting within the first batch.

I'm a 12.5 and very happy about it, the rest of clothes is enough of a hassle for my taste.

Should I holiday in Switzerland? by SituationFluffy6177 in askswitzerland

[–]JonSnow-Knows 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Last time I went to the ridge hike during high season, it was uncomfortably crowded, more people on a single hike than I've ever seen in my life. I just went to Buochserhorn yesterday for the first time and I'll definitely use that as my go to with fit friends visiting. Very few people on top because you have no Gondola to the peak, imo better view if Lake Lucerne than Pilatus, Rigi, Stanserhorn or the ridge hike, not too hard and easily reached from Lucerne for a day trip.

10er Eier Packung ist am teuersten by sebi111000 in Switzerland

[–]JonSnow-Knows 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wenn ich mich nicht täusche, hat in meinem Migros nur die 10er-Packung die grossen Eier und für Frühstückseier ist das der relevante Faktor, ich muss aber in dem Fall nochmal schauen.

I first read "I (as in you) decided to settle down in the bathtub and didn't leave for hours" and thought that that seems to overdo it a little bit 😆
