  • 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 have a French accent so I say data.

  • We don’t really have dates in my culture. Either we like each other and hookup or we don’t. So when you finally go to the restaurant or whatever, it is with someone you already know and not a total stranger.

    But I’m referring to IRL meetups, where you meet people during social events like a party, going to a bar etc (I do that as an introvert that loves being alone, I just don’t go out every night).

    I’ve never tried apps like Tinder so maybe the first rendez-vous could be considered a date. I don’t know and don’t plan to discover it.

  • Bien cordialement by The toxic Avenger.

    It’s in French but the lyrics are a cover letter for a job, telling the hard truth about how she is unhappy to apply to an unknown company for a job she doesn’t want to do, only because she needs money.

  • Nice, it’s probably the ancestor of the TOSA which is the same thing without the flywheel, and also from Switzerland.

  • Amir, we don’t care about SEO and your 50min old account only posts about that.

    Fediverse is the wrong place to spam enshitification methods, this is not Reddit. We only care about cats and bearded users of Arch.

  • Yeaaah!

  • Hardware related on a Linux home built NAS.

    My mobo has 2 nvme ports and supports 10th and 11th gen intel cpu. I have a 10th gen i5 and 2 nvme ssd for cache.

    The biggest 512Gb ssd is on the front (normal) side of the mobo, under a heatsink. The smaller 128Gb is under the mobo, inaccessible once fixed onto the case.

    In bios and in OS I can’t see the 512 cache drive, only the 128. Quick RTFM on the motherboard manual states: "Front nvme slot only works with 11th gen cpu".

    FFS 🤦‍♂️

    The server is fully built in a hard to fit everything ITX case.

    Guess who is having only 128Gb cache instead of disassembling everything ?

  • AFTN/AMHS expert at an ANSP so definitely yes.

    When people understand that it is about air traffic control and say "Oh so you work in the airport tower" you just answer yes.

  • I don’t really care about those but I guess the 16 mini wasn’t announced?

    FFS, us 13 mini users only wanted that, hoping that maybe the mini will be made every x iPhone generation. Apparently it won’t be every 3 generations.

  • From the forum in my comment below.

    Yup, they used it, only for paratroopers but they had some.

  • Terrot 500 RGSTA ?

    Peugeot 175 D4 ?

    From this forum (en français bien sûr). It speak about motorbike since 1950, so that would make sense with Indochine and I think I can recognise some of the models from archive photos. It says that before 1950, French army used a bunch of brands like BMW, Harley, Triumph, Gnome et Rhone and others from 1930 and WWII, but from 1950 and onwards they tried to harmonise the material and the list is on the forum.

    Otherwise, your best bet would be searching for CEFEO material (corps expéditionnaire français en Extrême-Orient) as it was the more involved in the war.

    There is a book about material used in this war but I don’t know if they wrote anything about motorbikes.

    The forum from the first link seems to be a good source of information tho.

  • Feldup, the French version of scare theater or other channels like that.

    If it is really noisy or I need to sleep during the day (working shifts), waves sound from my Ozlo sleepbuds.

  • My ex wife was going to quit her job. She had the papers printed in her purse, the conversation ongoing in her head. She is the right-hand of the boss, keeping the company afloat and they have a friendly relationship, like knowing each others family around Christmas dinner ect.

    Her boss asked her out at lunch to talk outside of the office in a nicer environment. She took the opportunity to give her resignation at the same time but first she had to listen to what her boss wanted to say.

    He told her that he's been very lately diagnosed with throat cancer, too late to do anything about it. Doctors gave him 6 month to live. He then started to cry.

    Her resignation papers stayed in her purse that day...

  • Well his 18 years old daughter died onboard that day, much like the kid in the titanic submarine. Only her mother survived. Maybe she was a little rich brat, maybe she would have become a world savior, who knows.

    I’m all for eating the rich, but not before they are at least 45 years old, 18 is just sad.
