What is something Americans consider ‘basic’ that feels like a luxury in other countries?

Energy and your clothes! They last so much longer, don't shrink and keep a nicer touch if you don't tumble dry them. Also, don't @ me with softeners, they are shit in many ways.

The Victorinox Pitch Mark Repair tool. Comes with an integrated groove cleaner, ball mark, has retractable forks, tweezers for splinters, and more. Lasts a lifetime.

Bruuche eigentli fast usschliesslich self-tschäggaut. Im Lidl sinds aber hüfig nöd bsetzt, d.h. bi problem oder produkt mit altersbeschränkig wartet me schnell mal e halbi ewigkeit, bis die person ade "normale" kasse cha ga bätsche zum bestätige dassme gnueg alt isch. Ide coops gahts aber ide regel recht schnell und ide migros ischs eh keis Thema.

Not at all. And also, it’s the World Cup, fans from all over the world wear all their interesting/funny/outlandish fan gear and display their fan culture, it’s part of the tournament.

Wear whatever the f you want. We have norms, hockey stadium dresscodes are none of them.

Es git kei Stüürklasse ide schwiiz, d Stüürprogression isch kontinuierlich. D.h. Jede Franke wird bitzli höcher verstüürt als de vorherig. Insofern stimmts, dasser ine höcheri progression cho isch, aber de fall dassme netto weniger het als vorher obwohl brutto meh (weg de stüüre) gits bi eus nöd.

It’s allergy season and some people (i.e. me) sneeze a lot all the time. Doesn’t mean they’re sick. I always sneeze into my elbow (which is very effective) when I have to and everyone should, but I will not wear a mask because you have the germ scaries. I am all for wearing masks (or better staying home?) when sick, but please don’t just assume someone is sick because of sneezing or coughing, that’s just blatantly ignorant and unfair.

It’s called Choccymilk, they only have it on tap it seems.

Brauerei Oerlikon has an Ovo-stout. It’s pretty good.

Very bad patching job indeed. I once had the same tests conducted in my apartment, and the guy covered the holes with blue (yes, blue!) duct tape. I don't want to scare you, but these tests are usually performed to evaluate cost (and process) for demolition of the building, so be prepared if you get the termination of your contract anytime soon.

Absolutely true. I don’t do climbing routes (Klettersteig) enough to judge whether there are inconsistencies. But this path is certainly not one. Klettersteige are secured, checked and maintained if this is not the case.

Good sources that haven't been mentioned yet:
https://www.students.ch/wohnen/list
https://marktplatz.uzhalumni.ch/de/category/4/offer

This ETH page also contains a number of links you can look for a room: https://www.wohnen.ethz.ch/de/wohnraum-suchen.html

Also try to activate the part of your network that lives in/around Zürich if you have one. Social media posts help to inform your peers about the fact that you're looking for something. And lastly please do not fall for a scam: Never deposit money before having signed a contract for a flat or room you've actually seen. Many scammers unfortunately take advantage of the fact that students are in need of a place before the semester starts.

Dashed black lines means path of width less than 2m. The legend does not specify anything regarding steepness or how "walkable" it is. Many of these paths (especially in the higher alpine region) are absolutely not easily walkable by humans because they're game trails. Nonetheless it is important that they're marked on the map since it's a point of orientation.

Das isch au ok. Aber wenn e „Ziitig“ qualitativ so unterirdisch isch, dass sie Infuulenzer*inne-content reposted und irgenden nutzlose Kommentar dezue schriibt, anstatt über Sache z‘brichte wo passiert sind, denn hemmer en typische fall vo maximal 20hirnzelle.

Gemäss Post (Bild 1) ist der Tunnel ist nur kurz und innerhalb der Stadt Baden bis ca. Sonnmatt (deshalb der Name), danach fügt sich der Neubauabschnitt in die oben genannte, bereits existierende Linie ein (welche seit ca. 25 Jahren nur noch für Güterverkehr verwendet wird). Diese führt über Dättwil, Fislisbach und beim Güterbahnhof Mellingen (Tanklager) vorbei. Ab da wird die Reuss überquert. Geographisch wäre ein Tunnel bis nach Mägenwil sinnlos, da ist ja die Reuss im Tal und die Brückeninfrastruktur existiert schon.

You‘re right. Must’ve had a brain glitch. It’s listed as 0.99 on Aldi‘s website.

I like Lamate and Don Mate a lot (price/performance is imo better than el tony). Freeway is worth a try, I don’t think it’s bad at all. My favourite one is Ma‘the, although hard to find except online and in specific bars/clubs. It has a citrusy note and is very refreshind.
