I asked Reddit AI for hidden gems in Switzerland 🇨🇭 .
Here's what it suggested:
Marmot Wrestling Rings in Valais: A quirky and unique experience.
Aromat Mines Under Olten: A peculiar and interesting visit.
Cheese Wars in the South: Witness a 100kg wheel of Emmental launched by a trebuchet

Weird feeling as while looking to answer to the question "how do I get the coordinates of the minimal value of a numpy.ndarray ?", found that I already asked that question ten years ago: https://laurentperrinet.github.io/sciblog/p…

LŠ, je suis tout Š fait d’accord avec M. Ganzer: «Ce que je constate, ce sont des manquements. Et des manquements ne doivent pas arriver dans un pays tel que le nôtre.»

Why do I have the feeling that the word "nihilism" was difficult to avoid in this quote:
“I think Silicon Valley is immersed in a titanic battle between the hippie value system of the Steve Jobs generation and the Ayn Randian libertarian values of the Peter Thiel generation.”

So the new #Kreutz #comet #MAPS is *still* following the constant rapid rise in brightness it has shown since discovery: a dumb extrapolation - https://cobs.si/analysis/?comet=2688&from_date=2026-01-15 00:00&to_date=2026-04-30 00:00&observation_type=V&observation_type=C&plot_x_value=1&plot_y_value=1&fit_option=1&exclude_faint=on&exclude_issue=on&observer=&association=&country=&compare_values=compare - has it get 10,000-times brighter than the Sun at its extremely close perihelion which makes so sense at all, of course, physically.
"It must therefore be assumed that this increase in activity will level off significantly in the near future," writes https://fg-kometen.vdsastro.de/koj_2026/c2026a1/26a1eaus.htm: "More likely are parameters m m0=12.0 mag / n=4 (or even lower), which would still result in a (very short-term) maximum brightness of about –9 mag (but this would probably still be significantly too bright) – always assuming that the comet survives its perihelion passage unscathed."
For other views see http://www.cbat.eps.harvard.edu/iau/cbet/005600/CBET005663.txt and https://arxiv.org/abs/2602.17626 and https://www.facebook.com/photo?fbid=10236580364221799 and https://cometografia.es/cometa-kreutz-2026-a1-maps-analisis/ - and the actual brightness is tracked at https://cobs.si/obs_list?id=2688 where it has reached ~11.5 mag. now.

As cheesy as this sounds - even if you’re failing by all the world’s metrics of success, if you can lift someone else up today - even in the smallest way - you’ve done something of weight and - for all involved - kept the darker things at bay.
And multiplied by many, a society that values this will outlast every society that doesn’t anyway.

Mass pilot whale stranding in Indonesia raises questions about ocean health
Villagers in central Indonesia rescued 34 short-finned pilot whales following a mass stranding on March 9, but despite their overnight efforts were unable to save 21 others. Mongabay Indonesia’s Ebed De Rosary reports that residents first discovered the pod in the shallow waters off Deranitan village, in East Nusa Tenggara province, at approximately 3:30 p.m. […]
