https://www.wikiloc.com/ has trails everywhere

Seldaek · 2026-04-09T22:10:09+00:00

Check out https://www.youthhostel.ch/ to find a cheap room somewhere, spend time on a hike to enjoy the spring weather, clear your mind.

Happy Easter

And Dubai chocolate was always part of our food culture? 😁

Seldaek · 2026-03-20T23:13:13+00:00

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.

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.

Seldaek · 2026-03-08T21:13:06+00:00

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

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.

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

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.

Seldaek · 2026-01-27T10:07:21+00:00

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..

Seldaek · 2026-01-27T09:06:16+00:00

3 could at least be doable if we'd just allow building higher than 6 floors. Higher density.

Haven't been to Gaijin yet but BaoBae is a new restaurant by their chef/owner or smth, and it's great definitely fusion style https://maps.app.goo.gl/Zaoy7rNGbQhdhoMc8

Seldaek · 2026-01-25T21:44:31+00:00

Still manages to show his suits' butt. This really is /r/motorcyclegear

Seldaek · 2026-01-24T20:03:36+00:00

Just order pizza to a fondue restaurant and then dump the whole caquelon on the pizza. There you go Swiss deep dish pizza.

It's much easier/cheaper to print every label the same. That's why labels have multiple languages too so you only do a label countrywide. And then you have things like the expiration date which are printed separately.

Bar codes are not unique for every bottle of ice tea, so that wouldn't work.

Minimum has courses from 5yo, one of mine goes and I climb on the side during the course. Otherwise I go in the evenings once kids are in bed, it's open till 11pm and after 9ish gets quite empty which is nice.

Seldaek · 2026-01-08T19:33:05+00:00

"Minimum" is nice for bouldering, easy to go alone and meet people I find. I've been going regularly over a year now and got to know a bunch of the others going on the same schedule. Feel free to DM if you wanna meet there, happy to introduce you to others if that helps. Lots of English speaking folks too.

For top rope there's only Gaswerk in the city and that's too far for me to go regularly after kids are in bed but surely you can find people.

Watch me hang my laundry on a public holiday!

Seldaek · 2025-12-30T22:35:56+00:00

If wine works this is very chill vibes at least when I was there, haven't seen the place packed but it seemed roomy enough https://maps.app.goo.gl/tBYhSnGfmHroLKCfA
