One of my cats brought home what I thought was a dead mouse. Turns out it was a very much alive bat.

Rabies in bats is rare in Switzerland but still possible, so I had to go through post exposure prophylaxis.

IIRC, that's the movie they play on loop at the kids section of Landesmuseum in Zürich.

IME Sanjay responds to CLs way faster than I expected.

One of the comments mentions he had a heart attack a few weeks ago and was recovering at home when he passed.

Butantan is not a company, but a public research institute run by the Brazilian state of São Paulo.

Some South American countries under Mercosur, which is being slowly replaced by the Union of South American Nations.

You could add a fourth under certain conditions:

Say one parent is German and the other is British, and the child was born in Brazil. If the kid is entitled to Israeli citizenship under the Law of Return, they get to keep all four.

There are French and Italian speaking regions too (well, there's Romansh, but that's tiny).

But in all seriousness, in the main cities you can get by speaking English.

In Switzerland every 10 years the government sends residents within a 50 km radius (previously it was 20 km) from nuclear power plants a pack of iodine pills (https://www.naz.ch/en/themen/jod_tabletten.html)

There were also some privacy/bureaucratic slow downs (my girlfriend had to sign a monster of T&C regarding data sharing with her doctor).

My partner is type 1 diabetic, and CGMs were a game changer for her (they started rolling out in Switzerland last year).

She's been using the FreeStyle Libre (https://www.freestylelibre.co.uk/libre/), which uses NFC and on select markets has an Android app available, but here we still have to use the handheld reader.

It probably relies too much on internal technology that is not open source.

I've moved my Apple account between 3 countries now - while I can't update some apps through iTunes, the updates are always available on the devices themselves, and if I try to buy an app purchased in another country, it downloads it without any hassle.

The Mac App store is a bit different - you cannot redownload apps purchased on another country (so when I reinstalled Mac OS and needed to install iPhoto, I had to revert my account to the previous country).

Those are called Mersenne Primes, and are in the form 2^p - 1, where p is a prime number.

Yes - June the 30th has a leap second ( http://hpiers.obspm.fr/iers/bul/bulc/bulletinc.dat ).

This is more an annoyance to the 99% that gets such bills (many places don't accept defaced banknotes).
