Trust and respect are some of the core principles in Swiss education and society. There are those well known newspapers stands that always amaze tourists. They are not locked nor monitored but people still pay for the newspaper.

For the restaurants it can be true but most places will know what you had only because the cash register system works like that (like they take the order on a phone that automatically sends everything to the kitchen and till). It’s mostly because all the systems available on the market works like that.

But as everywhere, things are changing for the worse, there’s more and more violence, disrespect etc.

Fun fact, I once had French friends visiting and they saw a field where you can take fruits yourself, weight them and pay the according price. No human supervision, no cameras. They were amazed and told me "In France we wouldn’t pay for the fruits, steal the money box AND the weighting machine"

That is most likely the right answer.

I’m in Switzerland and we have vending machines (not as cool as the Japanese ones tho) because we walk past them everyday.

They are generally on the pavement near post offices, at train stations and other large public transportation places. For a time there was cigarettes vending machines near bars but I think those are now forbidden.

Not sure about the thumb one but for screws with only have:

• Visser : sens des aiguilles d’une montre (clockwise)
• Dévisser : sens contraire des aiguilles d’une montre (anti clockwise)

I want to cry now.

75% of people working shifts around or inside an aircraft are alcoholics. Never before or at work, but days off are a shit show.

I was wondering how she said it in French cause we don’t really have a translation for fuck (that would be "j’emmerde" or "j'encule" in that specific case).

"Fuck aux réacs, fuck à cette extrême droite, fuck à tous ceux qui voudraient nous enfermer dans la guerre de tous contre tous"

Yeah ok, it’s easier that way, well done Madame La Maire de Paris 👌

Well that's true. I was looking at a Zojirushi rice cooker

One of its selling point is: 'Advanced fuzzy logic technology with AI (Artificial Intelligence) "learns" and adjusts the cooking cycle to get perfect results'

I immediately said no thanks and looked for another model without that, and probably cheaper. It's a rice cooker FFS!

While it is historically true, carriers cannot charge foreign fees for EU members since some time now. They basically said to the carriers "now you stop being greedy fucks".

Since then the European Union is just one large country phone fees wise. Even non EU member Switzerland is included on the EU plan and Switzerland includes Europe as if it is national call/text.

But it was too late indeed, people were already on WhatsApp to avoid sms.

If it’s Boeing, I’m not going.

Yes it was a Max 9, and yes wait for the aviation herald report for details.

North of France for, well, France.

Remote mountainous regions for Switzerland because besides fucking their cousins, they also lack oxygen with the high altitude.
