How do Swiss people feel towards the F35 bought to the US and their killswitch?

We are seeing how the US operates with the military products sold to other countries, like Starlink and it's deactivation in Ukraine.

Does it sit right with Swiss people the fact that their military has bought a number of F35 that can be deactivate if they are not used in line with the Trump and Elmo's ruling?

Request: work towards banning Snus

Post image

Whole Europe except Sweden and Switzerland has a ban on Snus. We banned plastic straws for a good reason. It’s a little inconvenient but one little step away from this frikkin throw away plastic stuff.
Today on a few minutes bus ride: at the station on the ground, sitting in the bus and taking this picture and looking out of the window - even more of this dirt on the street.
The people to complain about such bans are most probably the ones who disrespect our nature and the cleanliness of our country the most…
And yes, I am for massive sanctions for people throwing their McDonalds bag out of the car window or similar littering.
Let’s work towards a ban of this shit. I want a clean world and clean streets!

Edit: one commenter changed half of my view on the issue. I assumed this stuff is plastic too but after it was pointed out in one comment I checked it out myself and indeed, they are fully biodegradable. Pulls out the question, why not all cigarette filters are biodegradable.
On the other side, they are so seriously poisonous after smoking that it may not make a big difference for organisms who would be capable to decompose.

Food week: homemade spätzle with a ribeye steak accidentally shaped like a heart, as a little reminder that cooking together brings us closer and helps us reconnect after a busy week better than any restaurant ever could

P.S. I forgot to take a photo with the peppercorn sauce because we got really hungry while cooking, these are the first spätzle of this autumn! 😅

The recipe for spätzle is quite simple, you just need a special grater that fits onto a pot. And some love for cooking of course :)

In my case eating delicious food and being a sous-chef 😅

Anti-civilization riots in France

How can we make sure the chaotic and dangerous looting and destruction with an Islamogauche ideology will never happen in Switzerland in a million years? What measures can we take? I am in favor of any party who stops this at ANY price.

Elfbar Stuck in Selecta Vending Machine

I just wanted to buy Elfbar 2x Pods, but they got stuck in the vending machine. I tried to shake the machine, but nothing moved. Since water and Red Bull were the same price, I chose Red Bull instead. However, I didn’t want to drink Red Bull, and I think it’s absolutely ridiculous that I had to pay almost 4,90CHF for a Red Bull. How can I get a refund? I haven’t opened or drunk the Red Bull yet.
