TIL that https://steelseries.com/ is danish? If you are a Gamer, they make decent gaming keyboards.

A lot of clothes in specialized web shops like avocadostore.de are produced in the EU.

That’s a pretty bleak outlook. It took me about four months to find a job without any contacts. And I live here now. Granted I do speak German, but I don’t speak Swiss-German and I have made friends with other expats and swiss people alike. There’s a job market that is also open for foreigners. I was expecting much more push back from the people around me but they have been very welcoming.

A B permit was easy to get. You need a job and that’s pretty much it. After 5 years you can apply for a C permit. You can try to become a citizen after ten years but that’s a different beast. I have nine years and three months to go. I played a game of DND with a Swiss, a Russian and an Argentinian(?) here. My kid goes to school with someone whose parents are brazilian and dutch who met in Australia. So, it’s definitely possible.

Left Germany for Switzerland and while I never really felt unsafe in Germany, it’s so much more relaxed here. And I start to really appreciate direct democracy.

You would need to buy the chicken from somewhere. You would only buy the female chicken, because you want the eggs. There would still be male chickens that no one wants, except for reproduction. That would at least be my logic so I’d say no.

My first winter in Berlin was one of the hardest times in my life. That city is brutal in winter.
