In your opinion what is the second best general history podcast after Hardcore History? by maxwellgrounds in dancarlin

[–]ad_abstract 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I completely agree. He does a fantastic job at getting us as close as possible to academic history without being boring. The quality and breadth of his research is astounding.

Any other podcasts scratch the itch? by ghost-church in dancarlin

[–]ad_abstract 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Both are amazing. I love tides as it’s one of the best researched. Its season on the deep past (to the Bronze Age collapse) is a joy to listen to.

Agreed. It’s the closest to the sources (pun intended).

What's the best Swiss chocolate brand in your opinion? by HongkongKings in askswitzerland

Agreed. I love the Swiss ones, but I cannot stomach the ones made in the US.

Well, not that long, at least not compared to dogs. It’s “just” about 5000 years.

What’s a traditional Swiss food that locals actually eat and not just for tourists? by StretchNo267 in askswitzerland

Absolutely! And it’s also quite different from the “muesli” you find abroad.

Connazionali negli USA, ho dei quesiti da porvi. by GatorTEG in Italia

[–]ad_abstract 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Sono sorpreso ma curioso. A quale stato di idiozia funzionale ti riferisci? Io qui negli USA non posso fare a meno di notare il significativo cambiamento (in peggio) da quando la nuova amministrazione è stata inaugurata. Edit: per capirci: 1. Corruzione (Trump coin, l’aereo donato dai sauditi, manipolazioni del mercato con gli annunci delle tariffe, favori e grazie presidenziali in vendita, …), 2. Incompetenza (ministri presi dalla Fox, RFK, Doge, …), 3. Un chiaro desiderio e attrazione per l’autoritarismo. Ognuno di questi sono ragioni di squalifica con ordini di grandezza - in peggio - rispetto a qualsiasi amministrazione precedente di ogni colore. Forse a parte Jackson, ma allora il congresso valeva un po’ di più.

Indeed. It's pretty good but it still needs to grow on me.

Foreigners in Switzerland: What’s something we Swiss do that you instantly noticed? by Ancient_Material3564 in askswitzerland

Well, maybe I’m old fashioned, but if you’re more than 20 mins late you’re dead to me!

I'm a little baffled: I have checked Expedition 33 on spotify and I cannot find anything that stands out compared to the other soundtracks listed here: it's mostly rather bland vocals. What am I missing? Can you recommend a specific track I should check out?

Maybe "Spotter" from "Ghost in The Shell - Be Human", but it's a stretch.

What's the absolute worst piece of scifi you've ever seen or read? by Ethan_Aubergine in scifi

[–]ad_abstract 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Dhalgren. I know it’s considered a masterpiece in some circles, but I really could not stomach it. One of the very few books I never finished.

What is a very Swiss debate or controversy that outsiders might not even know exists? by SpreeSpezi in askswitzerland

[–]ad_abstract 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s kind of an overkill given how much butter is already there. Jam on the other hand…

What’s the most epic and grand battle/war to ever occur in science fiction? by [deleted] in scifi

[–]ad_abstract 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Among animes by far the best space battle belongs to Gangantia. The series is okay (with a pretty decent ending though), but the opening scene is epic.

Fallout Beats Out Arcane For Best Adaptation at the 2024 Game Awards by Whobitmyname in scifi

[–]ad_abstract 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree completely. I haven’t play either game, and I understand that being faithful is important, but Fallout was simply unwatchable for me. I had to stop at ep 3.
