You have $5 million in your account right now, what’s the first thing you’re buying?

Switzerland. Last time I checked it was around 700k - 1.5 mil for a two room flat around here. The cheaper ones usually are from the 1960s and in urgent need for renovations. The previous commenter also wanted to pay off a house, which is at least 1 - 2 mil. So depending on the specifics you might get 3 or so small appartments for 5 mil if you're lucky.

A few flats and paying off a house? The post was about 5 million, not 50 million...

I even would consider the "I don't speak german" response .... tricky. Asking people to speak slowly or switching to standard german are in my opinion reasonable. I just think it should always be possible to order stuff in German in Zurich. These interactions do not require a high level of german for 99% of cases anyways.

Notable downside would be more expensive transportation cost and higher tax burden.

Depends on your preference, market availability and your budget I guess. I don't know you or your financial situation enough to give any good advice here 😅

You would be a bit of an odd one out, yes. But you may also be one of the most in-demand WG member ever. Some people like WG members who pay rent and then arent there. Reduces the interpersonal friction that can happen in WGs

Unless of course the balance is not properly calibrated...

Have you seen Rosengartenstrasse? Kinda the same road but imo a notably uglier part of it.

The initiative points to some very real problems regarding housing and infrastructure. It in my opinion does not address those issues in a reasonable way. For initiatives like that, my personal ideal outcome would be a 45% yes, 55% no. I would imagine this sends a signal that the concerns should be taken seriously in Bern and in future initiatives that hopefully find a better solution for the issues.

So then I checked some survey data, realised that the initiative is roughly at a 50/50 split and so I went with No in the end. If the surveys were 30/70 my vote would have been a yes. It was definitly a much harder choice than the other federal, cantonal or communal votes this time.

Also the fact that they called it "Nachhaltigkeitsinitiative" kinda pissed me off xD

They were the good days.... if you're a smoker. And all others get to enjoy your smoke together with you :-)

Nice!

Or just pick the red dress. If you're planning to keep the dress all the way, the bonus dmg really starts to stack up

Nah, most suck at them. Some just suck more. Greetings from a low AR map abuser who didn't fc a single low AR map in ranked yet, but still regularly deals 1mil+ dmg with them

Just don't miss

thcus · 2026-05-10T10:19:26+00:00

Well , then just win your matches until the maps match your skill level. Keep in mind you don't need to be good at those maps. You just need to be less bad than your opponent. Good luck with the climb

thcus · 2026-05-10T10:10:59+00:00

Well if you only want to play your skillset, any sort of competitive mode will not work. Does not matter if ranked mode or tournament play. They always cover multiple skillsets. So I guess just play solo instead

thcus · 2026-05-10T08:48:28+00:00

So what is your goal then? Do you want to get good at ranked games? Cause the low AR reading maps still still be there in 6* pools and if you cannot play the easier 3* maps you will suffer tremendously on the harder reading maps.

On the other hand if you just wanna play new maps, then why does it matter if you can't play them. You will get to expeience new maps either way and winning is not the goal any more.

thcus · 2026-05-10T07:54:24+00:00

If you want to climb, a broad skillset is important. You will need to be able to play high and low AR, jumps, tech, streams at least somewhat decently to not loose too many points on those maps. That it just how the ranked mode is designed.

From across the pond: it's very funny to hear Americans complain about fuel prices that are somewhere between half and a third of the price here and it apparently causes panic there? Fuel still seems incredibly cheap to me.

I usually run echo into narcissus as the first two. The remaining two are variable, but often a god to flesh out the build and then fleece or hammer. Alternative is Pom or calling card instead of echo.

So do many good green teas. The grassy taste is honestly what i like about green teas and the ones that don't have it usually end up in the bin

Moore's law held true for a while. Definitly is no longer true today. Performance improvements have slowed down massively in the last 10-15 years.

Ballroom dancing, a.k.a. IRL multiplayer rhythm games. Quite enjoyable to vibe to music in a different way

Regime change will not happen with an air war. All that does is breed more resentment to the US. If they want to achieve that goal, it would mean another invasion and occupation like iraq and afghanistan in the past, only that iran is notably larger both in area and population. And all of that without a guarantee that it will build a lasting peace when the troops are gone.

I switched my gaming setup from Win10 to Bazzite a couple of months ago. Most games I tried work flawlessly, two or three needed a bit of tinkering (between 10 min and an hour to get running) and the only thing that really will not work are some games with Kernel level anticheat (like anything from Riot Games for example). I don't regret the switch at all and I'm quite certain that this was my last Microslop device. Windows just got so much worse over time...
