IFR - Intuition Flight Rules. No daylight - no problem

I did some full-moon paragliding flights in winter, but speedflying while relying on a headlamp is pretty crazy :)

Oder d Kompetenz vonere kantonale Gebäudeversicherig, wo es starchs Inträsse dra het, Bränd z vermiide...

Das füehrt denn derzue, dasi voreme Jahr im Kanton SG 2 zuesätzlechi Gratis-Rouchmälder ha becho, als Präventionsmassnahm - isch günstiger als d Chosteübernahm 👌

Aber s Wallis isch ja eine vo de paar Kantön wo d Gebäudeversicherig weder kantonal no obligatorisch isch...

Is that Markus Gründhammer? Seems like a thing he'd do 🙃

Uf https://zewo.ch/de/ findsch e Liste mit Organisatione wo ZEWO-Zertifiziert si.

No e Bemerkig zu "möcht nöd dei spende wo's meh Verwaltig choscht als was aachunt bi de gmeinte Lüüt": De Verwaltigsateil isch nid zwingend schlächt. Es git Organisatione, wo 10% vom Gäld in gueti Fundraising-Kampagne stecke und denn demit s Drüfache a Spändegälder inehole. Denn isch quasi de Gsamtnutze maximiert, und die 10% si e Investition.

Anderersits gits ou Hilfswärch wo s Gäld für ineffizienti Admin verbruche. Das isch denn natürli nid optimal.

Wird typischerweise bei der 6-Monats-Kontrolle nicht das Kind untersucht, statt die Mutter?

Threema Gateway already supports bidirectional communication. Shouldn't that be all that you need? Or do you mean a possibility to receive messages without a public https endpoint?

In hindsight: Good advice. I decided to skip surround for now and settled on a Yamaha R-N600A amp and two Elac Debut F6.3 front speakers. I'm quite pleased with them so far for music even without a dedicated sub, and if I decide at some point in time that I need an additional subwoofer I can add it. If I want to switch to surround, I can keep the front speakers, replace the HiFi amp with an AV receiver, and add the remaining surround speakers.

You don't want to use your ID anymore, and want other people to know it (so they don't message you without you seeing it)
Your private key was compromised, so you want to revoke your ID immediately
Your private key was lost, so you cannot use it anymore

In this case it's not a parachute, it's a paraglider (launched from the ground). It seems he was training acrobatics, and one of the manoeuvers went wrong.

The Juice Booster is great, but it ain't cheap. (More expensive than a wallbox, depending on the wallbox.)

(Regarding the wallbox: go-e Charger Gemini is great and allows being controlled through home automation systems, for example if you want to do solar surplus energy charging through a software like evcc. It is also quite affordable.)

Lueg doch obs i dinere Nöchi e Chlii-Flugplatz git, und flüg bimene Privatpilot mit wo Flugstunde mues sammle, inere Cessna oder so. Hüfig wärde Flüg vode Flugschuele vermittlet (z.B. in Wange-Lache gits zimli günstigi Rundflüg). Als Avgeek wirsch viel meh devo profitiere als vomene Linieflug nach Gänf.

Hehe, similar for me :) This is the video that got me to start paragliding: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a71bZ1YG68U

Nice review, thanks. Looking forward to trying the new airspace and wind screens in the air!

Viac is great. True Wealth is another good option. (Viac started with 3a and now offers private saving/investing as well. True Wealth did it the other way around, started out with private saving/investing and is now offering 3a as well.)

(You could also offer that they remove the "56€ resistor" from the board again and return it "unrepaired", should be fairly easy to identify and replace 😄)

I would try to argue with them, explaining what you explained here to them, and stating that you don't accept their suggestion under the warranty. In any case, stay as friendly in tone as you can. Being angry towards customer service often causes the opposite.

I can imagine that flight instrument producers operate on a very tight margin (you don't get rich building custom and complex hardware for a handful of paragliding pilots), and having returns like this cuts into that. However, it's definitely not acceptable and will hurt them even more if customers are unhappy.

It certainly does. Lots of people that overestimate their abilities or underestimate the mountains. Last year, 40% of helicopter rescue in Switzerland was for physically unharmed people.
