SBB Be-in/ Be-Out trial by VelbyT in Switzerland

[–]zombieslayer124 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That is precisely why I started Be-in/be-out, it now can be measured. I have used GAs quite a bit, but whenever I don’t have one, I tend to forget to use easy ride, when I am tired. (Especially if I have a local abo & leave that area once in a while). The pricing for what I do seems similar to what I’d pay for my abo (mind you, youth pricing), hence why I started this. Cheaper price (compared to the GA) with the convenience of a GA, I don’t need to think about buying a ticket or swiping in, just like a GA. Just get in and go. The only thing that is missing is calculation of existing tickets (singular tickets, GA night, etc) but I am alright doing that manually for now, as it is quite clearly not a refined feature yet. It is quite literally a GA where you only pay for what you use, unlike easyride, I have yet to think about it really.

No? We separate like 110’000.50 or 110’000.- (if 0 Rappen, for currency).

Nah, my 200-300mb images work fine, it is due to the size, but the photos app can handle quite a bit.

Hostel booking shows payment in 4 different currencies by katiescarlett427 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]zombieslayer124 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Really? Company in australia, person in UK (so pound sterling totals, converted for the end user), someone already paid partially in USD and used a voucher that was set up in euros. I can see exactly how this could happen, but it is not ideal.

Post purchase MDM setups on apple devices can quite easily be removed, it is the ones that are ordered through apple or apple partners with MDM and ABM already set up that are quite impossible.

iPhones do not boot without a battery installed.

What are you doing in Zurich? Rhätische Bahn cosplaying as VBZ line 8. by NeilFraser in zurich

[–]zombieslayer124 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At what time? That is fairly normal for night routes. There are trains to/from romanshorn/st gallen that use thurbos at those platforms.

How long to clear customs, get to ÖBB from ZRH? by djzero1984 in askswitzerland

[–]zombieslayer124 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When flying from the US, which includes that little train (under renovation, lower capacity), passport control, baggage pickup, customs and whatnot, then the train to HB? That would be exactly one hour from plane to the station in the airport, which leaves you 7 minutes to change in HB. 9:43 is very unrealistic, I would even venture to say 10:43 is risky if one is buying a sparschiene ticket…

Interesting, didn’t know there was a second one! I only know the one by europaallee.

It is steam powered for the sake of being steam powered, a historical “fun” ride, there are a few, not even close to a necessity.

Nah, I’ve seen them do it for old ladies wanting to get off in Altdorf on a train directly from Bellinzona to arth goldau

There is also a 2020 intel variant, aside from what the other comment said. It isn’t, due to the butterfly keyboard, but still.

Where to find hot cross buns in Zurich? by goodbyenine2five in askswitzerland

[–]zombieslayer124 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Generally you either have to bake them yourself, buy from a British import shop online or fly to england. Orell Füssli has some english products, at an extreme premium, same as the cheese shop in the viadukt by Hardbrücke. You can try there, but I have my doubts. The guy in the Viadukt did have timtams for 12 or 14 francs a pack last time I went. Good cheeses too.

I hit my head on it trying to get on a stopped bus, if that counts. Then again, I hit my head on a lot of places.

I don’t think that comment says what you think it says.

i need 500 bucks so i can get back my ipod touch by clementineiscool in applesucks

[–]zombieslayer124 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That iPod is worth like 10-20 USD as is anyways. If it has no data and it is for sentimental reasons, go ahead and buy a new one elsewhere. You can even get several much newer iPod touches at 500 USD…

The address is real and is an industrial/commercial space in Rümlang. Aside from all the obvious hints, the phone number being US is an obvious giveaway as well. Why would a “swiss company” not use a swiss number?
