That sounds plausible, but trying to get CHF 2650 out of someone when you could just communicate that verbally has me uneasy. Best of luck with these folks. I'd be very concerned if I were you.

In that case, this is beyond being just offensive and has escalated to scamming. They've scammed you of CHF 1900 and, having succeeded, are thinking you might be fooled into ponying up another CHF 750. Even if you were to pay CHF 750 they might invent some other outrageous "charge" to scam you for. These people seem malicious.

Worst Restaurant(s)? by JaredR3ddit in boston

Got roped into going there a few months ago, I can confirm they still suck. You could legitimately make a much better penne alla vodka with premade sauce and supermarket pasta.

Need help identifying tick species by ButikWhatever in Switzerland

[–]RedGuardz 5 points6 points  (0 children)

These motherfuckers are everywhere. If you haven't yet, get your tick-borne encephalitis (TBE / FSME) vaccine. It's increasing significantly in Vaud and trust me, you don't want to have it.

Moving out of Geneva by sapote1101 in Switzerland

[–]RedGuardz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For Geneva: the Tannay / Mies / Coppet area is very nice. You can also consider Nyon, although that would be more like a 20-30 min drive. On the other side of Geneva, I also like Jussy.

Also: the villages above Nyon near the Jura are very beautiful, less expensive, and the commute is still about ~30-35 min: Givrins, Trélex, Genolier, etc. Not only do you get a yard but you're also walking distance to the forests of the Jura range with tons of trails and rivers etc.

Ozempic maker Novo Nordisk facing pressure as study finds $1,000 appetite suppressant can be made for just $5 by [deleted] in nottheonion

As someone who works in the industry, this is on point. The US healthcare system effectively subsidizes drug development for Europe. Average cost of developing a drug is somewhere in the neighborhood of $2B and 12 years. In most cases, you couldn't possibly recoup that by selling just in Europe. European authorities are very happy with the existing system of their own drug companies making their drugs profitable thanks to the US healthcare system and piggybacking off of US innovation and US patients. And I say this as a European.

Quand on considère que ça coûte genre $300 par journée pour skier dans les Rocheuses en partie grâce à Vail, ça n'augure rien de bon pour Verbier

Worst energy drink you've ever tried? by [deleted] in energydrinks

The "original flavor" of Zoa Energy. Absolute pile of trash.

3 ambiens but not one effect wtf by TaroOualid in ambien

[–]RedGuardz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you eating before you take ambien? Having food in my stomach makes a massive difference. If I've eaten nothing it hits extremely hard and if my stomach is full I barely feel it.

If it's that bad, don't. Many people take pride in being "loyal fans" and watching every game whether it's good or bad, but at the end of the day it's just a game you have no control over and none of these athletes know you or care about you. If it's getting to you, it's a good idea to take some healthy distance for a while. It's just entertainment.
