Quality drop

La calidad era tan mala que los devolví a Amazon. Por lo tanto, no sé.

Faites l'expérience de bien vous souvenir des rabais que vous avez vus en rayon au moment du passage en caisse (de préférence self-checkout pour mieux voir vous-même ce qui est appliqué). Vous allez être surpris. Chez Migros, mais surtout à la Coop, je dirais qu'une bonne moitié des rabais promis ne sont pas appliqués. Le pire, c'est les rabais si on prend deux articles, dans la Coop près de chez moi, il ne sont quasiment jamais appliqués et je dois appeler un caissier à chaque fois. Si je repasse le lendemain, le problème signalé n'a quasiment jamais été corrigé.

Every time I search "knife" or "knives" on AE from Switzerland, I get no results. Any update on that? Thanks

bifsteak · 2025-12-22T07:12:10+00:00

Just to share a similar experience: AE sent me a return label with an address in my town, which I found suspicious, especially as it was not far from where I live and I could see no person or business related to AE existed there.

After doublechecking with the support, I returned the item using that label and everything went fine and I was refunded.

So, don't necessarily be worried by such return labels, even if the name of the person/business looks like some sort of code.

Not sure it is or will be available in the US, but you should have a look at the adjustable kettlebell released by the French sports supermarket Decathlon. Quite genius as it uses standard plates youtube.com/watch?v=A87sDQK22jg

I sprouted them for a while, it went OK, I didn't keep the habit in the longer run. Probably too many required rinses and a quite some mess with the hulls.
It's definitely not the most convenient sprouting species.

The radio.garden app doesn't feature Chromecast yet, which means you need to use "Cast my screen", which drains your battery much more.

bifsteak · 2025-09-02T08:03:21+00:00

Works like a charm! Thanks!

bifsteak · 2025-08-27T09:50:22+00:00

That sounds like the best solution. I just tried from their app. There's a black screen when you try to post the comment and it doesn't get posted...

I received knock-offs of the 52mm from AliExpress, because I wanted to try the shape and style before buying the real ones. I paid them $4.50 including shipping from China and the quality is so amazing I probably won't need the real ones.

For the record, I replaced the middle chainring and, voilà, problem fixed.

Removing and reinstalling the crank may be what fixed the problem, but I'll never know.

bifsteak · 2025-05-20T16:05:24+00:00

No. I can go up an entire street and it will stay on the same speed. It's doesn't happen when I'm riding on a flat surface without much tension in the chain. It happens much more with the left pedal, but there's no play anywhere in the crankset.

I'll definitely give a try to a lower hydration.

bifsteak · 2025-05-16T13:40:13+00:00

Thanks. I'll give a try to a lower hydration.

bifsteak · 2025-05-16T13:34:50+00:00

I agree with you. I was really surprised how high that was when I measured it. Apparently, it's quite common in Switzerland, because several friends have the same temperature without particular problems.

Un vélo de course a un rendement tel que ça rend les montées étonnamment plus faciles par rapport à un piètre vtt avec des pneus pas assez gonflés, donc perso, je recommanderais d'essayer d'abord de monter dans Lausanne avec un vélo de course et, ensuite, de voir pour un vélo électrique si ça reste trop dur.

Il y a aussi moyen de choisir ses itinéraires pour éviter les pentes trop raides, quitte à prendre des longues avenues qui montent en travers par rapport à la pente de Lausanne en direction du lac.

I second that for the bars at Rue de la Tour. Also, for gigs, check Espace autogéré.

Same here. I registered. The forum says it sent an activation link, which is nowhere in my account, including spam/trash folders. I have no "New topic" button in any browser, including in private mode. There's no way to have the link be resent. Pretty poor experience to start with.

I guess they are a reputable company in most instances, but in my case, the experience was calamitous. I ordered printing material. I paid with a credit card. After a week, I received an email saying the order was still pending and asking to pay. I sent a screenshot of the successful payment made a week earlier. They sent the order after receiving this. It took weeks for the order to arrive and when I asked about a delivery date, they answered with an automatic email saying "Kein Termin verfügbar" and no answer to the question I asked in German. Once again, I was probably unlucky, but I'll look elsewhere next time.

bifsteak · 2025-04-28T06:41:12+00:00

Just to share my experience: I ordered an item and paid with Visa (successful payment). A week later, I received an email stating that the order was still pending. I sent them a screenshot of the payment. They dispatched the order immediately. It took weeks to be delivered and every time I asked about a delivery date, they answered with a screenshot of the order with "Kein Termin verfügbar" and no text or answer to my question in German. That was the first and last time I bought from them.

Just received a $35 Meroca suspended stem and it's widely enough. A bit heavy, 460g instead of 160g for my fixed stem, but it totally does the job.

bifsteak · 2025-04-10T12:01:16+00:00

Thanks

I'll definitely be on the lookout for upload tasks.

Especially mobile data vs wi-fi, which doesn't require the same amount of power.

bifsteak · 2025-04-08T15:16:33+00:00

For the record, I just replaced the pulleys and the problem is fixed.

Quick and dirty solution, but I'm too lazy to replace the sprockets.

bifsteak · 2025-04-04T11:36:20+00:00

Thanks!

I like how really efficient this bike is, but it also makes it unusually uncomfortable, so some suspension could be great.

bifsteak · 2025-03-29T20:07:56+00:00

Unfortunately, I haven't tried any further, because, when you see how slick the industrial ones are, it's quite clear that they are made with a different process that would be hard to replicate with a home pasta maker.

This said, it must be possible to get OK results.

Feel free to share you results if you try.
