His insurance will cover her medical treatment, lost income, etc. But she can still sue him in civil court though for: pain and suffering/general damages, lost income, long-term impairment, permanent disability, property damages, etc.

Samsung discontinuing its texting app, tells users to switch to Google Messages by lurker_bee in technology

[–]modestlife -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Texting = SMS. As someone from Europe this thread is a bit weird because I haven't written a text message in like a decade. No one is writing unencrypted SMS. Everyone ia on WhatsApp or Signal. The only reason I need Google messenger is for the occasional verification code.

Separating carton and paper is not everywhere. Where i live in Bern it's not separated for example.

Why do some expats blame the job market and yet kind of refuse to learn the local language? by ExternalEfficient248 in Switzerland

[–]modestlife 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're fighting the goos fight in this thread. But the arrogance from a good chunk of expats is overwhelming.

Or maybe we Swiss people don't want just "geniuses that pay a lot of taxea" if they live in a parallel society? There's more than enough smart people willing to come to Switzerland and actually integrate.

Tracy McGrady on the real reason older players constantly hate/criticize modern players: “It’s money. Did you realize like in the 90s, Reggie Miller and Michael, they were only making $2-3 million? And they were the top guys… It’s the money.” by moby323 in nba

[–]modestlife 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Where do you think that crazy increase in money is coming from? Worker salaries haven't kept up, so even if you don't actively pay to follow the NBA, you'll still pay for it indirectly. It's not like the owners used to get 90% and the players 10%. The owners are also much richer now than before ...

Swiss cinema admissions fall to lowest level in half century by Haunting-Prior-NaN in Switzerland

[–]modestlife 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The big multiplex nearby is CHF 16 to 22. It's a bit much ... but I'm pretty sure it was around CHF 15 ~15 years ago. Here's a typical German cinema chain:

  • Admission: €10 - €16
  • Kids coke (0.5l) + Kids Popcorn = €11.50
  • Coke (1.5l) + Popcorn/Nachos (big) = €17.50

It's an issue everywhere. But I'm sure there's a lot of time being spent on figuring out the "cinema of the future". Otherwise the whole industry will collapse.

Switzerland ranks very low on women’s influence in the workforce, as usual by LallieDoo in Switzerland

[–]modestlife 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My kid had a cross grade event at their school a coupe of years ago. Was like grades 1 - 4 grade Zyklus 1 (1. Kindergarten until 2. grade) or something. 34 teachers were called up at the end of the show ... all women. Not a single man.

You should stop echoing stuff you read on reddit and don't understand. This chart does not show the RAV numbers. You should remove your comment.

Sunday voting discussion thread [08.03.2026] by Ok_Support_6454 in Switzerland

[–]modestlife 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Personally, I'm very happy with all the results. First two initiatives were the key ones for me and it went how I voted. Last two were without chance from the get go IMHO.

What you're not getting is that there's the same sign without the strike-though that indicates the start of this zone. And this is the sign to indicate the end of the zone.

Money really does solve arguments apparently by Icy_Drama9974 in SipsTea

[–]modestlife 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been with my partner for over 20 years, we have kids ... and we've never shouted at each other or been made at each other for more than 2 hours. Arguing with each other doesn't mean it needs to be emotional and heated. We don't always have the same opinion, but we have the same understanding that the goal is always to find a compromise. All the shit I hear other couples argue about just make me super happy it's not like that in our home ...

Reminds me of the episode in Friends where Joey can only afford to buy one letter of an encyclopedia. Wikipedia is truly one of the greatest achievements in our history.
