Just FYI at least here I get compensated for my work as a voluntary firefighter. Not sure how much anymore but it is around 25 bucks per hour. Made like 1k last year, had not really a lot to do except training and 2-3 smaller incidents.
But yeah I don’t do it for the money, I learned about that in basic training 😁
Aletsch glacier, Switzerland
35, intermittent fasting (since I am incapable of eating normal portions per meal), 3-4 session of cardio a week (cycling), climbing twice a week including short gym session afterwards to build up muscles. Also no alcohol for the last two years.
Only thing I need to fix is sleep, I usually only get 7h a night and I feel like it should be 7:30-8.
Added the cardio like 6 months ago, am a voluntary firefighter and we have an event each summer where we run/hike up a hill wearing our oxygen bottles/mask and my goal is that I can do that easily.
What hoops? Being 18? Not having psychological issues, not having been in serious legal trouble before? That’s about it.
The issue the USA has is how they treat weapons, as toys, not as deadly tools we can appreciate and yet should respect and only handle safely.
Uhm not really, I have multiple family members which store quite a bit of ammunition at home and while noone might get them by accident you could easily get the guns and the ammo if you wanted to.
In Switzerland we rejected women’s right to vote in 1959 and then it passed in 1971. I am certain that we have many such examples.
That we actually have. Our apartment has ventilation (not sure if that is the right word, it replaces the air continuous with fresh air from the outside) and integrated into that system is a carbon monoxide detector.
What is even crazier in my opinion is that you can get poisened by smoke while sleeping as you usually don’t smell smoke during sleep.
I guess I’ll get some of those 20 buck ones, they just need to spot something burning.
We had 0.2 deaths / 100k population but I feel stupid for not having one. You are right, they cost basically nothing for some piece of mind.
Living in a country where smoke detectors basically don’t exist and house fires are extremely rare (rare, not nonexistent, we had a pretty terrible fire in a bar on silvester) I always wonder if we are just stupid for not having them or why there are so many in places like the USA.
This has Homelander meme vibes…
Russia can end that state whenever they want.
I am a heavy user of AI tools, I have a Claude Code Max x20 subscription. I basically do not write any code myself but only direct CC to do so. This article is BS. It is a nice tool and it makes tedious work enjoyable (refactoring, searching for files, understanding legacy code, etc.). But it is incredibly incompetent quite often, needing adjustment and guidance. It does stuff in some way, it might even work but the code is a mess, the architecture might be alright, it might also be a complete chaos. I never was able to let it implement a feature on its own, it sometimes fucks up single method implementations.
Yes it is quite a bit better than a year ago (Opus that is, Sonnet is meh, how people use Codex is a mystery to me, that thing is terrible). I do not deny that but articles like these are fearmongering at best. These are tools that can help you quite well, but they are not, in any way, at the level described in this blogpost.
You can customize it.
Nevermind, you can but you can not get rid of that button…
Used it for a while with Nightly, it is such an improvement over the old UI/UX.
He didn’t thank us for our attention!
It was mostly practical effects afaik: https://www.thewrap.com/south-park-how-naked-trump-scene-was-created-not-ai/#%3A~%3Atext=Many+assumed+after%2Cwas+it+practically
I would say just food maybe 800-1000 swiss francs. And then 400 for other necessities like toilet paper, trash bags etc.
Tbf that went down in the last 2-3 months since I stopped eating dinner for 5-7 days a week. No, not to save money, I am intermittent fasting so I only eat breakfast and lunch. More lunch though. So I guess most money now goes towards dinner for my partner. So we spend maybe 600-800 now.

Seems like Shinzo Abe made this constitutional.
