Does anyone have any idea where to look for a reliable handyman in the Oberbaselbiet area, besides Coop, Google or Ofri? Or maybe even could recommend a reliable handyman ?

I need someone to help to carry some bulky boxes, chairs down to the basement.

Not sure if it's the right place to post, but I will try anyways 😀 We are a team of musicians organising a third edition of Project Agora festival. We invite musicians from different genres to collaborate and perform together. So far we have an exciting line up with 6 concerts, 2 afterparties at 3 locations around Basel. Please check it out and enjoy the unique Project. Projectagora.ch

P.S It's a young festival that we dream to grow and continue for many years, so any word of spreading information about it would be incredibly helpful.

Have a nice day!🙌

Anyone knows what is happening at the airport this evening? It seems there is a security issue. Another bomb threat?

Two summers ago I passed through Basel traveling through Switzerland, and on the train leaving Basel, I saw on the bank of the river a large warehouse that looked to be a well-established squat. There were anarchist declarations in large lettering and just generally looked to be very much open and active. I relate strongly with the movement and will be coming back through the area next month. Can someone help identify what this place is? Pm also works. Thank you!

Created a custom chat GPT for the 2023 tax declaration in BL (Baselland) and had it tested by 2 tax advisors (one from BS and one from BL). They loved it and got a bit scared. Some people from mustachian also try it right now

It works pretty well, for my own declaration and for friends. If enough people like it and provide feedback, I will do the leg work for other cantons as well.

When using Tom the taxpert 2023 BL always prompt “look in your own document library for detailed answers, and say you want references”.

It might also work without the prompt but is a lot more sophisticated and exact with it. OpenAI seems to save on GPU and that is why some GPTs seem lazy or buggy. You can see from the purple “searching my knowledge” sign that GPT Tom is following your instructions.

You can also ask Tom for the % of certainty in the answers.

Feel free to test it and either message me here or via GPT feedback form. It is still non-public, you can only access it via this link: ChatGPT - Tom der Steuerexperte 2023 Baselland (Schweiz) 35

I am super curious what does work well already and what is needing improvements.

Will edit with more info about FAQ that are occurring here or on Mustachian.

__________________________
FAQ
Q1: What is the knowledge base for the GPT?
A1: It contains 90% official documents. Including the taxbooks, the tax laws, ESTV-documents, press releases for 2023 and presentations from the officials but also from the most common financial products and some less common ones (e.g. DFA funds, tiny crypto currencies) that I had to use for my own declaration (100% referenced). 10% is tax advice from public (referenced) and non-public sources (referenced where appropriate). Total is about 12k pages of PDF and .txt files.
Additionally, I asked the tax officials at Baselland 19 questions and I included all their answers (which were great btw, easy to understand, exact, short, non-ambigious). If you asked the officials and received answers I could add them to the knowledge base.

Q2: Is there a BS version yet?
A2: Nope. I did not collect enough feedback for the BL version, so my processes become more efficient.

Q3: Does it automatically looks for recent publications or someone needs to feed it?
A3: It previously offered excessive, irrelevant details while searching for new online publications and often provided inaccurate, verbose responses. Also, lying was more prevalent.
Currently, it requires manual effort (on my side). Thankfully, 2023's laws and regulations are fixed and finite. While integrating APIs is feasible, I first need to assess if others find it user-friendly, given that I configured it myself.

Q4: Could you create that for ZH?
A4: I was planning ZH and BS next, due to size and ease of language for me but would need more feedback on possible improvements, so play around and lmk what I might improve.

Hello,

Me and my gf are passing through Basel in early June, and we have some 2-3 hours to spend before taking a train to Germany from Basel SBB. Are there any places worth visiting that are close to the train station and we could fit in that time window?

We'd love to either see some nice architecture or have a nice meal at a budget-friendly restaurant in the area. Any tips or recommendations? Thank you in advance!

Hi guys, does anybody have a recommendation for a place to buy meat and specifically lamb that won’t cost a fortune and is of decent quality? Cheers!

I'm surprised that a city like Basel doesn't have a system for kitchen scraps.

Our building doesn't have a compost (doesn't really have a garden).

I walked past some of these neighborhood composts. But i don't know how they are organised.

Hoi zemme🙋‍♂️

Ich studiere an der ZHAW School of Management and Law. Im Rahmen meiner Bachelorarbeit untersuche ich die Kreativität in der Malerei und führe eine Umfrage durch.

Die Umfrage dauert ca. 8 bis 12 Minuten. Bei der Umfrage geht es hauptsächlich darum, die Kreativität von Gemälden zu bewerten und ein paar anschliessende Fragen dazu zu beantworten:

Es fehlen nur noch die finalen 50 Teilnehmende. Daher würde ich mich über Eure Teilnahme freuen. Das Teilen und Weiterschicken der Umfrage ist natürlich auch gestattet😁

Herzlichen Dank im Voraus für Eure kostbare Zeit und wertvolle Unterstützung!🙏

Ich suche nach Menschen, die die Anwaltsprüfung in Basel-Stadt ablegen wollen. Hierfür würde ich mich gerne mit Gleichgesinnten austauschen. Daraus könnte eine Lerngruppe entstehen.

Gibt es eine Interessengemeinschaft o.ä.?

Freue mich auf Rückmeldungen.

My son's bike was stolen in central Basel. Thanks to an AirTag, we tracked it down to Basel Train Station!

Upset and worried, my son approached a train conductor for help. He explained the situation and that the AirTag clearly showed the bike was on the station premises. The conductor just directed him to security.

Security, unfortunately, wasn't much better. They simply advised him to file a report at the police station, which was already closed at around 8:00 pm. Basically, they left him with limited options.

The AirTag continued tracking the bike, showing it move to several locations in Mulhouse, France! It’s now stable in some location there.

So, now we're stuck. The Basel police can't do anything since the bike is likely across the border. They suggested contacting the French police. Do you think there is any point in doing that?.

Here's what I'm wondering:

How would YOU react in this situation? Is this typical behavior from SBB staff? Shouldn't they offer more assistance, especially when the stolen item is located on their property? What else can we do? Any advice on navigating the French police system for stolen property? Any insights or suggestions are greatly appreciated! This whole situation is frustrating.

I(28 M) land in Basel third week of April, I’ll be there for about 10 hours. Just hoping to get recommendations on how to kill the time. I’m physically fit, I was thinking about doing a hike or potentially a bike ride around the city. Also lunch recommendations would be greatly appreciated to experience the local cuisine. Thanks for the help.

Hi all.

I plan to work this summer in Switzerland and Basel is one of the cities I'm interested in. My idea is to stay in Saint-Louis France and take local trains or buses.

What was your experience working in Basel? What do you do in your free time? Any experience with hiking? What are your favorite things to do in the city / close towns?
