I live in Zurich. I used to live in Pully, a suburb of Lausanne. It's much more car-centric in the French part. But at the same time our neighborhood had a Pedibus location where children met and walked to school from in a group.

I'm in Zurich which is far from rural. Not really very homogenous either - it's 50% non-Swiss.

Here in Switzerland children start walking to school at around 5-years. Parents aren't allowed to bring them to school. If a parent escorts their children to school they'll be told not to. If they keep doing it they'll get a

It's strict here in Switzerland and from what I've heard similarly in Japan. There really isn't much that can actually be recycled - PET can be but other plastics are incinerated to produce electricity so they have to be sort

I had a project at the Smithsonian's conservation analytical laboratory in the later 90s and made friends with a girl working in the lab that was working on these: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/251028779

I have an ancient forest near where I live in Switzerland. In the core zone of the forest they do no maintenance whatsoever. The trees live, they get gigantic and very old. They die. At some point the top breaks off and then many years late

US government is stealing money payed by Switzerland for F-35s. Basically Switzerland bought 5 patriot batteries but the USA couldn't deliver so they cancelled payments. Then the USA took payment for the F-35s and applied that as patri

Here in Switzerland when children order shrimp at a restaurant I tell them that they come from the shrimp mines in the glaciers.

It's like Swiss watches. Sure, a digital watch would be better but if you're really into mechanics and engineering a fancy hand-made swiss watch is your thing.

Seems like you'd end up with even more waste in the end. For example, the navy's nuclear reactor graveyard: https://interestingengineering.com/military/trench-94-the-ee... You could probably just sink it all

I wonder how long they had from the collapse to it reaching villages. Here in Switzerland glaciers and thawing mountains are monitored pretty closely with sensors. Villages are evacuated when it starts to get dangerous.

I'm so embarrassed now, thinking about how we have to use an extension cord for our Raclette grill... we have an 8-tray Raclette Grill and our neighbors have a 12 tray grill which also made us feel inadequate but at least they have to

The picture of the proposed development is really very jarring and would change the image of Menlo Park drastically. I guess that's fine though, they need housing, but it looks like something in downtown San Jose.

I met someone at a party in San Francisco who had been an American soldier stuck in a place without support in Afghanistan with his squad. He said dog bbq was pretty good, especially the ribs.

I have an active project where parts of it still uses on the back-end WebObjects, an ORM framework originally from NeXT and later apple. Over the years parts of it are being rewritten (WebObjects is not threadsafe) but it just keeps running

The weirdest thing I read about was weightlifters taking viagra to increase their blood flow when working out at the gym. Hopefully they shower at home.

I think the cows are very stressed here in Switzerland. I make cheese every now and then - ricotta and paneer. It's simple. I buy the milk from a "milch-Automat" - farms around here (Zurich) have machines where you can buy a

I had a coworker from the democratic republic of Congo who insisted that if he was back home he would do ok fighting because he played lots of first-person shooters. I mean he was 100% serious about this. We argued about it. He got a commit
