Are there any games cafes or clubs in Basel where I can meet and play Tabletop Role Playing Games?

Are there any shops that sell games?

Hi, I’m just getting into cycling and could use some advice.

I want one bike I can ride to work during the week and take on gravel and forest tracks at weekends. Budget is under CHF 1000 all in. I’m size M.

I’m not naming any models because I’ve read too many reviews and still have no idea what actually matters.

What would you buy at this budget?
Is used the smarter option here, and if so where do you look and what should I check?

Anything beginners usually get wrong that I should know before I spend the money?

Thanks a lot.

im 18, from serbia, came to basel a few days ago. came by myself for a “vacation” but i have a grandpa here who is retired and does nothing most of the time. im kinda bored, idk how long i will stay so im wondering what to do here during the day - mostly alone because i dont know anyone here.

After long last, some real respite from the heat. I woke up in such a better state of mind than I have these past weeks. No fan, blinds open, and an afternoon coffee in the balcony — heaven.

Hello everyone!
I’ll be moving to the wonderful Basel this year, and hoping to have some savings by the end of next year so I wanted to ask the following: What are ways you save money when living in Basel? Do you really venture to France or Germany for things?
Please let me know if you have any advice!

I’ve been very unfortunate to experience rare toxic damage to multiple tendons (from fluoroquinolone antibiotics) and am really struggling to find a physiotherapist who is experienced in tendon matrix damage rehab, advanced load management and entire kinetic chain retraining. The standard physiotherapy approach to tendonitis won’t work here. I am an athlete and regaining strength is extremely important to me - at the moment I can’t even walk properly.

I’ve tried contacting physioswiss, but they’ve been largely unhelpful; sending me to their search engine. It’s a rare condition and my doctors have so far not suggested anyone.

I’m hoping maybe someone here knows how to approach my search or who to ask? I would be extremely grateful for any hints!

Anybody travelling from SH to Basel for work interested in sharing a ride?

ich bin auf der Suche nach einer ruhigen Wohnung in Basel oder Umgebung, ab sofort oder nach Vereinbarung.

Am liebsten wäre mir eine 1.5–2-Zimmerwohnung, 3-Zimmerwohnung ginge auch, gerne EG (Hochparterre, UG ebenfalls möglich) idealerweise mit Balkon/Terrasse.

Eine unbefristete Wohnung wäre ideal, eine Zwischenmiete für mindestens 5 Monaten käme für mich ebenfalls infrage.

Meine Mietzinsobergrenze ist 1600.-.

Zu mir ich bin Schweizerin, 30 J., Nichtraucherin. Einkommensnachweis, Betreibungsauszug alles vorhanden.

Falls jemand etwas weiss , würde ich mich sehr über eine Nachricht freuen.

Hello, I am 29 years old from Belgium. I have 5+ years experience as a process operator in an A+ chemical company as a process operator in Antwerp.

After the closure of the company I used to work for, I went to do a bachelors degree in applied computer science (3years). I am now about to start my third year bu I have only heard negative news about the job market in IT. I am considering to start something new somewhere else when I finish my degree.

Im native in dutch, my english is good and french basic.

Because german is a main language in Switzerland, especially for the chemical industry I am considering learning it the coming year.

1. How important is the knowledge of german for a good job as a process operator?

2. What can I expect as a salary there, I used to have around 7500 brut in Antwerp but pay 50% in taxes

3. Any other tips/advice?

Werden wir das so hinnehmen? Dass unsere Politiker in klimatisierten Büro sitzen und unsere Kinder zusätzliche Lernschwierigkeiten erhalten?

Meiner Meinung müsste man dem Herrn **Isaac Reber (Grüne)**Direktionsvorsteher, Regierungsrat - mal kräftig die Meinung sagen?

Kann mir jemand erklären wie man hier politisch Druck machen will? (kurzgesagt: Der Typ ist von uns bezahlt und macht seinen Job nicht).

My children go to a public school in Basel. We are facing a severe heatwave like everywhere else in Europe. Yesterday the temperature in the afternoon was 37C. They had sports and the teachers took them outside at 2.45pm and they were doing sports partly in the sun and partly in the shade for 1.5 hrs. Several children complained that the heat was too much and perhaps indoor activities would have been better. But the teachers were adamant that they have been inside throughout the day and it is only healthy to be outside and get some fresh air. I find this logic bizarre. Maybe they do this because they have been used to such a routine from the past when summers here used to be milder. But the orange warnings issued by the health departments in Switzerland strongly recommend that we stay indoors.
My daughters came back exhausted, dehydrated and with a nosebleed. I come from a place where we have grown up facing extreme summers. This is not healthy and quite dangerous for children especially. What can we do to bring this to the notice of school teachers and management so that such outdoor activities are not carried out until the temperature cools a little bit.

Hi, my name is Alex - I am from the EU and traveling to Switzerland for vacation. 21-30 August. I will be in Italy and Switzerland - Dolomites.

Hi everyone!

I will be in Basel tomorrow(Sunday, 16th of August) and I’m wondering if there’s a flea market or a thrift store open tomorrow that you’d recommend to visit. I recently started going in my own country and I’m wondering how different it looks in such a different area.

Thank you in advance!

Hello, I'm a French journalist for ENTR, the youth media from France 24 and Deutsche Welle.

For a social media video report, I'm looking for skilled swimmers who plan to swim in the Aar in Bern or in the Rhine in Bâle on Friday afternoon (I saw that it will be hot there), who know the place very well, who have all the equipment, who can give advices to newbies and even better who have surprising stories to tell.

Let me know if some of you are interested and please share my request if you know people that could be interested.

The goal of the video is to show that In Switzerland, the relationship with urban rivers is not the same at all as in France and that we should maybe get inspired from you!

I will travel from Paris to Switzerland to make the report so interested people should be okay to be filmed and should speak French or English fluently (I don't speak German unfortunately)

Looking forward to reading you!

Hello!
