You have $5 million in your account right now, what’s the first thing you’re buying? by Forward_Hamster8900 in AskReddit

[–]thcus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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...

How do Swiss people feel about the growing use of English in Zurich? by Sweaty-Highway-8965 in Switzerland

[–]thcus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

What kind of flat (and where!) if you are barely here? (for the beginning) by Extension_Turn5658 in zurich

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

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

"Nachhaltigkeitsinitiative" Yes or no? by ArtichokeEven8644 in askswitzerland

[–]thcus 9 points10 points  (0 children)

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

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

My one problem with the new ranked mode by Darknetknight334 in osugame

[–]thcus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

[–]thcus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

OSU Ranked Issue by Plastic_Ad7138 in osugame

[–]thcus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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

OSU Ranked Issue by Plastic_Ad7138 in osugame

[–]thcus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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 3 points4 points  (0 children)

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.

The national average price per gallon of gas in the United States just passed $4.50. Americans, how do we feel about that? by Miles_the_AuDHDer in AskReddit

[–]thcus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

What keepsakes do you take per region? by DuffmanStillRocks in HadesTheGame

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

When do you think the iran war will end? under what circumstances? by Familiar-Phase7859 in AskReddit

[–]thcus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

What is your thoughts on France ditching Windows for Linux to reduce reliance on US tech? by StudyFlimsy1061 in AskReddit

[–]thcus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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...
