Friendly fire is when you shoot someone from your own team.

Sure it's mangled, but it's clearly a dash (–) and not a minus (-).

A passing car (...) is enough to not hear anything that comes out of them.

Isn't this part kind of the point?

Slang evolves.

My espresso machine would like a word. It's pretty compact yet weighs 17 kgs / 37.5 lbs due to essentially being a dense block of stainless steel, copper and brass.

rigid class start times

This one doesn't count. Can't have a class without a fixed start time.

Would this argument hold up in reverse for a women's shelter?

Finding an expensive apartment vs. not finding an apartment at all, really?

Say you are single, have some experience and get low-balled into a CHF 100k contract. Not counting 13th salary this translates to CHF 7.7k per month gross / CHF 6k net (before health insurance). I.e. at up to 1/3 of your monthly net you can spend up to 2k per month on an apartment. There are plenty of those to choose from inside Zurich city, even if some might be small for the price or have other drawbacks. You can find cheaper/bigger/nicer easily by expanding your search radius to the (extremely well-connected) suburbs.

I would describe my personal experience in Zurich (and having lived in Berlin before) a bit differently.

Everyone loves whining about finding a place to rent in both places, but in Berlin it's about finding anything at all whereas in Zurich it's usually about finding something cheap and ideally in a desirable Kreis 3 or Kreis 4 neighborhood. Yes it's competitive, but you will find something with realistic expectations + budget.

NB: I don't earn a big tech salary either. If you land a Google/Meta/IBM/Disney/adjacent job, the (rental) housing market should not give you any headaches.

One of these is not like the others.

As a rower myself I wanted to type the same correction initially, but then realized that the parent comment is probably referring to a rowboat rather than a racing shell. No sliding seat, no leg drive.

Survivorship bias.

Not to brag, but

Won’t accept non-US phone numbers?

Apple MacOS 12 (Monteray)

Monterey fyi

The Audi A2 has been out of production since 2005. Maybe a Q2?

The design of the first iPhone SE (which came out it 2016) is that of the iPhone 5 (which came out in 2012).

Swiss trains.

Do you ever take your bike off any sweet jumps?

How about

shirt -stripes

That should work on eBay at least.

This seems a very strange observation to make about London.

It was an observation about the UK.

I think cars have an advantage over horses now that they are not in widespread use, because their true infrastructure cost will only appear once everyone wants to get gas at once, and this is certainly not the case right now.

Spiderbot, spiderbot..

Like an X62 or X210 from 51nb?

If they learned their lesson, shouldn't they be pretty much predestined for the job?

For the context of this thread, a better representation of the Moscow Metro would probably be this one

Tried last Saturday, and it was completely unplayable.

I guess they were under too much load. It took us an hour to just start a session of Wizard, and then we never managed to actually play because it keep throwing us out and showing error messages.

(...) doctors at the hospital said they first suggested she be tested for the coronavirus, as she had a high fever. Instead, the woman went to a buffet lunch (...)

Where/how else would you get that experience if your current job does not involve ML?

That's about the nicest way to put it.
