@Gurth as an advisory: don't stick to close to the house. The bushes on the left side should be a safe zone and since they are poorly maintained by the city should also provide enough stealth.
If you hear the deafening howl of a coonhound: run.

You’re good for now, I still need to find where I left my Belgian franks, but before that I suppose I’d better arrange getting a visa and inoculations first.

I don't think that will get you much. On a recent intersection with Zürich Airport, I paid 11x that for a cup of coffee.

Did you intersect it on a 3° glide slope?

@HardwareGeek Pretty much, yeah.

So, still more than half a Belgian franc would have gotten you 25 years ago.

No your suggestions are for beginners. Or for immediate deterrence, where they'd be appropriate.
Bad Bernie suggests photosensitization. Some plants can do that - you touch them, and some time later, when that part of skin gets exposed to light, you will badly feel it. Enjoy!

3.90 CHF for a scoop of ice cream was my new record, compared to 3.50 EUR in Helsinki previously.
But to be fair, this was a large scoop, whereas Helsinki was an ordinary small one and also 5 years ago, i.e., before 7% inflation.For comparison, a scoop used to cost €1 around here, which is now €1 * 1.072 = €1.50.

If we’re doing used to, then one scoop used to cost, IIRC, ƒ0.50, which is about €0.23 (or, for the non-naïve, about €0.40 to €0.50 today).

@Gurth cumulative inflation means products have been more expensive in euros than they used to be in guilders even before the recent wave of 'graaiflatie'.

@Gurth said in Quotes Out of Context:

But I was referring to a few years ago, not last century.
Otherwise I'd have said DM 0.40 (~= € 0.20).

Yes, it does. I had to think about the context in which I posted that, because I could just as easily have written it in the context you're implying here.

: I remember when a scoop cost $0.05 or $0.10, depending on which store you went to. (And gasoline could be had for <$0.25/gallon. And when gumball dispensers switched from pennies to nickels — 500% inflation overnight!!!)

That's an intersting calculation. The Bundesamt für Statistik (Federeal Statistics Agency) will agree, and gratefully thanks for your creative contribution.

Cent, bitchgroszy, kurwa!Well, in during the era of the good old Deutsche Mark, we had following coin of 50 Pfennig:
And sometimes wechokedjoked: why is the woman on the 50 Pfennig coin kneeling?
Answer: Why would you expect her to lay down for 50 Pfennig?

That was indeed my point, yes. It seems the vast majority of people don’t realise this phenomenon exists.

Well, that is the only logical conclusion I can draw from their official numbers.
