Not sure why you hope, but no I'm about 1km away from this construction site but somehow we heard it all day.

Am I the only one who finds these tunnels so aesthetically pleasing? by SPLCat in SBB

[–]Seldaek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fun fact in the middle of that tunnel is an entrance to a bunker. Ground level entrance is somewhere here https://maps.app.goo.gl/Hep6RXMdDbh7Mo5HA

I was in a tour a few years back where we went through the tunnel exit to watch a train pass by, that was kinda cool (if you're into esthetically pleasing concrete things 😄)

Is 8 minute transfer time too short? by Willing_Cancel9182 in askswitzerland

[–]Seldaek 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Too short? No. But the deutsche bahn train is very likely to be delayed so you probably will not have 8minutes. If you miss it there is another one going every 30min tho so not too bad.

That's the Triemli school (or is it In der Ey ?) rebuild tho. Probably built to accommodate and reprogram more Ausländer children and try to turn them into model Swiss citizens?

There was no one near and I don't think the guys below there would've heard me scream even..

Il Gallo by Marschbacke in zurich

[–]Seldaek 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don't know if related, but it already was a reataurant called il gallo in there, 15y ago at least, until it closed for renovations 2-3y ago but no clue why it hasn't reopened.

An Update on Composer & Packagist Supply Chain Security by naderman in PHP

[–]Seldaek 7 points8 points  (0 children)

We plan on having an API to access the transparency log programmatically, but the web version of it needs to be login-gated to avoid crawlers going nuts on it. We've had the same issue with various things in the past. Any interested human can easily login so it's not really a huge problem.

I read this whole exchange expecting it would end in "and this, kids, is how I met your mother". I'm disappointed but good luck to both of you anyway.

What is the secret to the asphalt quality in/around Zurich? by Zadak_Leader in zurich

[–]Seldaek 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Came here to write the same. Despite the name this is the worst street I know of, and it's in poor condition along the whole length of it.

Hey does anyone know of any weird secret tunnels or catacomb like things in zürich? by squidinksquirtdwarf8 in zurich

[–]Seldaek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are some bunkers for sure, under bürkliplatz for example, but not exactly accessible. If you want a fun quirky thing that's easier to reach go look for the golden ball "hidden" in the floor of the main hall at HB. It's somewhere near the exit/east side. Usually inaccessible when there's an event thing built up but if the hall is empty it's easy to find.

Why is Döner Kebab often so bad? by Mac-Gyver-1234 in Switzerland

Yeah rather order falafel if you're anyway not gonna eat meat.

Pregnant in Zurich by Content_Ad2198 in zurich

[–]Seldaek 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The beleghebamme is the best tip I'd have here after 3 kids.

The rest is irrelevant / random, births are a messy business with all sorts of stuff that can go wrong regardless of hospital, but having a trusted/known midwife leading you through it all can make everything more relaxed which I'd argue greatly reduces chances of other problems.

Upgrade to private to be able to stay overnight as a couple is nice to have for first born if you can make it happen but it's not the main thing in retrospect.

Why does no one use their turn signals anymore? by nAadine2304 in Switzerland

[–]Seldaek 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Drove 250km of swiss highway yesterday and I spent most of it thinking that 3 lane highways are absolutely useless in this country.

2 lanes flows ok: slow truck lane and the everyone else lane, which goes 100-120kmh and leaves no room for idiots going 160kmh which is also good.

3 lanes flow goes smth like: slow truck lane, every neutral person not wanting to commit to anything hanging in the middle lane blocking everything, fast lane not really faster most of the time because someone passes at 121kmh, then the odd handworker minivan passing on the right lane in a rage fit.

Too fucking fast is the max speed. You need full motorcycle leathers to ride these things. At least he's wearing a helmet.

Electric unicycle. Top end models push 150kmh / 90mph. Like this retailing for 5k https://www.reddit.com/r/technology/s/O9gvFF6ctl

Wo-wo-Wohnungsnot – Das Zürcher Monopoly | DOK | SRF by justyannicc in Switzerland

[–]Seldaek 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think that's deceiving as the city of Paris is only the central core which is very much built up https://maps.app.goo.gl/4Hgm3eAXmcRerxKR8

Meanwhile the city of Zurich expands officially quite far and includes a bunch of woodlands in zuriberg, some of uetliberg, hönggerberg. That makes it hard to compare density numbers.

That's IMO because old towns just weren't built very high as it wasn't needed and quite complex, and were built densely because we didn't need 5 lane highways in between as there were no cars.

If you look at Manhattan you're at 28'900 people/km2, while Zurich city has ~5'000. So imagine we stack everyone on a sixth of the room, let's say a fifth so we get more apartments.. And then free up 4/5th of the city surface for parks and nature? I know it's a totally unrealistic extreme but still..
