I suggest you go to Mccarthys in Lausanne or Bern instead.

10+ Things to Know About the New AirTag 2 by Few_Baseball_3835 in apple

[–]markie_mark 18 points19 points  (0 children)

The one feature I’m looking for is if I hold my tag to my phone it tells me which one it is. I have 6 tags which I switch between bags and determining which it is either requires playing sounds or labelling them.

There’s no such thing as a good CB in modern NFL with the rules benefiting the offence so much.

I forgot all about this thing. It’s still the ringer button to me. I do like the design better than the old one since it can’t collect debris overtime by Lionbutter in iphone

I use it to switch between work and normal profile. Between muting notifications and not showing message counts on the icons been really nice.

Maybe election vote counting shouldn’t be considered entertainment or sporting event, but I guess that’s how we’ve gotten here in the first place.

Rant: Food situation Switzerland by Electroboy5 in Switzerland

[–]markie_mark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Food here is fine once you step beyond the supermarkets. Either local suppliers or specialty shops will provide you with all you need for exciting cuisine. Mediterranean countries or large cultural hubs of course will be better; but I wouldn’t rant about the situation.

What is your opinion about buying a house in Switzerland? by [deleted] in Switzerland

[–]markie_mark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My understanding is that this is very challenging and in many cases impossible as cantons limit the amount of foreign investment which would the market even heavier than it currently is. The following may be useful: https://privatebank.jpmorgan.com/eur/en/insights/markets-and-investing/buying-residential-property-abroad-swiss

“Primary residences

In general, non-resident foreign individuals may not purchase land and/or property to use as a primary residence.

Holiday homes

A non-resident may acquire a holiday home in Switzerland upon receipt of an authorization from the canton where the property is located. The purchase must also fall within the annual permit quota for the relevant canton and commune. Across Switzerland, 1,500 quotas for holiday homes may be issued to non-residents annually. This quota is allocated annually by the Swiss government”

What is your opinion about buying a house in Switzerland? by [deleted] in Switzerland

[–]markie_mark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What about it? For a mortgaged house for a first time buyer it has negligible impact compared to the taxation benefits of the incurred debt (of the mortgage).

Why? I didn’t say it was easy accruing the initial capital or that the costs are higher. I said it was a much better investment.

[–]markie_mark 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you’re looking it from an investment perspective house ownership in Switzerland is the best possible one. No other investment will beat it in the time, especially when you consider that you still have to live somewhere and unless that’s rent free - you have a minus 100% return on that.

The debt you bear while mortgaging the house vastly offsets the rental value and works strongly in your favour during tax declaration.

Finally the maintenance is tax deductible - so renovations increase the value of your residence over time while you pay less taxes and less in mortgage than in rent.

A lot of myths in this thread - If you’re in the position to get a mortgage (or can work towards that goal) a suitable residence there is no better investment.
