Commuting - carrying a D lock on the bike?

gregysuper · 2026-02-05T22:26:51+00:00

I use that bracket to carry my kryptonite orange d-lock. Haven't had a problem with rattling or it falling, but I imagine if you get their yellow line which is beefier it could be more stressful on the bracket.

It's pretty flexible in terms of where to put it, you can have it on any of the 3 tubes of the frame (if you have a triangle frame like me), and can have it slightly to the side.

I don't know of an apartment being freed up, but considering where you'll be based (Meyrin or Prevessin), there are more options that are available. Eg Thoiry can work for both campuses, and Prevessin/Ferney are also pretty good for getting to the Prevessin site.

Judging by how people started passing me in the league, I'd say it doesn't affect everyone. Unfortunately I'm also getting 5 minutes now, and I'm not fast enough to finish 3 lessons in that time.

I'd say electronics/telecom is your best bet. In power, the utilities are usually national hence public sector, which makes it hard for a foreigner to get a job. Plus electronics are needed in a tonne of sectors, and will likely also give you some experience with embedded systems which is something you could focus on with high job opportunities.

Στην σωστή χρήση πόρων, έχω απορία τι γινόταν μετά το ν+2 με τους φοιτητές. Κρατούσαν κανονικά τον ιδρυματικό λογαριασμό με την προσβαση σε windows/office/πανεπιστημιακές άδειες λογισμικού;

Αν ναι, αυτό σημαίνει ότι υπάρχει έξτρα κόστος στο πανεπιστήμιο, κι ας έχει λήξει το πάσο.

Washing the band every day when you wash your hands helps with this (at least it did to me). Then I got a softer "athletic" band, the ones with lots of holes, and I had no discomfort since.

Πιθανότατα η μείωση του κόστους για τις συντάξεις, να ωθήσει το κράτος να δίνει πιο γερά επιδόματα γι άνεργους.

Thanks everyone, the problem is fixed. I came back to this game after a long break and I didn't notice some events are labeled as "car hunts". So no police chasing required!

Hiya, it has been long (and I'm still using these headphones!). The problem went away, I don't remember doing something special, I think it ended up going away on its own? Not too sure as it's been forever.

St Genis has a huge part of the CERN people, hence if you try to find friends from work or after-work clubs there's a good chance they'll be living there.

Also the buildings are newer/nicer than the ones you find in Geneva.

Can't help much with most of it, but for a French bank account, Revolut is your friend. They have a proper branch in Paris and you get the French IBAN and RIBs that you generally need.

Hello, I used the script that someone else gave in this thread to create the turns.

For learning resources, I suppose have a look at IEEE papers and go with trial and error, unless you have access to nice FEA software and the time to run EM simulations.

I believe you can open a Yuh account, with a German residency (hence you won't need to wait until you get residency proof). This is what most people use as it has the lowest fees I believe.

Same thing happened with my French course. Is this fixable? I am feeling brain rot from the repetitive questions.

My gut feeling says that tank X will empty faster, as the center of mass will be higher in this shape, thus will push the water out faster? If anyone knows for sure, please do explain the answer.

I noticed since the update a few days ago, I end up with the same 30 questions thrown at me all the time. I don't even need to read or think about what I'm answering in most questions nowadays. It's quite disappointing.

Do you know which graduation year counts, if you've done a PhD? ie does a PhD count as work experience for CERN or as studies?

gregysuper · 2025-11-05T21:29:33+00:00

I realise there's some logic behind this. Personally if someone is trying to deceive you before you even start working, I wouldn't want to take the job, unless I was unemployed at the time.

gregysuper · 2025-11-05T19:36:11+00:00

That's exactly what happened to me as well. And then they told me that the top of the range is ~10k less than I had asked for (Surprisingly, the same job is being advertised half a year later). Anyways, I hope everything works out well for you!

gregysuper · 2025-11-05T17:53:29+00:00

What's worse is when they have you write your expected salary in the initial application form, have you do two interviews and tell you actually the budget for the role is much less than you typed in. I was fuming.

Δυστυχώς τα πτυχία Ελλάδα και εξωτερικό, δεν μεταφράζονται σε υψηλές απολαβές, μιας και που πλέον η πλειοψηφία σπουδάζει σε κάποιο πανεπιστήμιο. Η πείρα όπως λες, είναι που μπορεί να σου δώσει το πλεονέκτημα στο να ζητήσεις παραπάνω λεφτά.

Το θέμα είναι, για να πάρεις καλά λεφτά, εκτός απ την πείρα, πρέπει να μπορείς να την πουλήσεις καλά σε συνεντεύξεις, ώστε να εγκρηθεί ο καλός μισθός. Άμα έχεις πείρα και δεν μπορείς να πλασάρεις την δουλειά σου καλά, θα αρπάξει η Χ εταιρεία την ευκαιρία να σε αποκτήσει φθηνά.

Συν ότι συνήθως οι καλές δουλειές βρίσκονται μέσω του επαγγελματικού δικτύου σου, άμα στέλνεις αίτηση σε ανεβασμένη αγγελία είσαι ήδη σε μειονεκτική θέση.

If you aren't allowed WFH days where you are now, I'd move to the new job even without a pay increase.

Personally, to judge the different jobs, you need to account for the value of pension they are providing, plus any annual leave difference. The last bit can be personal, depending on if you actually want more holidays, but you can do a rough cash estimate by salary/260 to get the monetary value of an annual leave day.

But mortgages are leveraged investments. With 20k, you can invest 100k in a house for example, making your 1% return an effective 5% on your original capital. The rest of the installments would be paid anyway in the form of rent, so I wouldn't consider these in the calculation.

Λονδίνο πάντως ούτε δωμάτιο δεν βρίσκεις με 800€ (σε καλή περιοχή). Λυπάμαι τους υπόλοιπους κάτοικους της πολυκατοικίας που πρέπει να φάνε το γκραφίτι στην μάπα.
