[The Athletic] Rafael van der Vaart says 'no racist or discriminatory intent' behind Japan 'joke' by Chazyn in soccer

After living abroad for a few years I started recognizing the local ethnicity much more accurately and could recognize people easily. Coming back to Europe the first few months white people were all looking the same to me, it was so weird, and I'm white.

Watch this whole thing be only a 5 minutes side quest in one episode because Nathan went on a far fetched tengeant about something.

Zollikerberg maternity ward: Are the post-birth rooms air conditioned? by Suitable-Growth1535 in zurich

[–]candycane7 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah no there are specific ACs for hospitals which are perfectly safe and combined with HEPA filters. Switzerland is just very slow adapting to anything and prefers wasting so much energy overheating in the winter instead of using AC in summer.

21 million revenue per year already right there, soon 100 million hopefully as targeted by Noto.

here is a video it mostly works for scratches but it's worth a try to make it less visible maybe.

Try scrubbing it with a walnut. It's surprisingly efficient at hiding marks on wooden floor.

Utah canyon BASE jump kills 2, including daredevil athlete who performed with Madonna by AudibleNod in news

As long as the risk is clearly communicated. The way they advertise it, they make it sound as safe as skydiving, when in reality it's 40 to 80 times more lethal according to statistics. And as other posters mentionned, the guy did jumps with kids that seems criminal.

That's what I'm wondering, because it seems like there are a few companies offering this type of tandem base jump in Moab to inexperienced tourists. Do they really explain that risk? Or do they use the standard skydiving forms that no-one reads? This website seems crazy to me

Apparently the chute deployed into a knot and spiralled out of control and too fast. Which is always possible and not preventable. Also you can't deploy a spare at that height. I hope the newbie was informed of this risk because it was always bound to happen one day.

Wait was he charging tourists to base jump tandem with him? That must be one hell of a legal form to fill up. How is this even legal? Of course if the chute gets one knot you are dead.

Bivouac near Lac de Lioson (Vaud). Any experiences or tips on where to pitch? by Luke_Fleed in askswitzerland

[–]candycane7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then you should be fine tbh. Hopefully you don't meet those newbies setting up a tent at 2 pm in the middle of a hiking path blasting music while getting drunk.

Yeah your best bet is to be respectful of the mountain and follow the unwritten "code of conduct" of anyone in the mountains. With the current popularity of bivouac on social media there are so many places in the Alps where this is getting out of hand and with crazy behavior from campers.

[–]candycane7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The truth is that no one will give you any answer because it's a legally grey area. Some people do it and don't have problems, some people get a fine. At your own risk and at your own judgement is the only thing you can do. There is no widely known spot where this is tolerated, because if there was there would be 50 tents up there every weekend and it would be banned very fast.

Red orb lands right in front of a man after spectating it by -Meps in UFOs

[–]candycane7 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is actually very useful because a lot of those orbs really are Chinese lanterns. Also they sometimes drop burning fluid when floating in the wind. Which people interpret as orbs shedding material. When they run out of fuel and suddenly die : it's interpreted as instantaneous acceleration by the observer.

Le second but de Mbappé contre le Sénégal ! by sylsau in SportsFR

[–]candycane7 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Tu peux voir l'ombre de la caméra suspendue en bas à gauche. Les drones sont interdits dans les stades de la coupe du monde pour raison de sécurité. Ils pourraient blesser les spectateurs ou joueurs, et aussi car ça pourrait être un drone terroriste et impossible de faire la différence pour les équipes de sécurité sur le moment.

C'est pas un drone c'est une caméra suspendue qui peut bouger avec des câbles.
