And FYI for any woman out there, these are better for health, as they don’t blast bacteria from back to front. There was a study about it that I read several years ago, which I kept in mind when choosing a bidet. I went for a handheld one, too, and it’s great.
Lol, we used those little transmitters that you plug into the cigarette lighter plug until several years ago in a mid 2000s car, and they’re still sold and used by people. The funniest thing that happened was when we were overtaking a semi who had one of these, but with a stronger transmitter, so for a couple of seconds we were listening to the guy’s random turbo folk music.
Because most likely the original was translated to another language (Russian, most likely), and then that got translated back to English.
So kind of like in Austria, but not as bad. The overtime cap is 70 hours (total, and does not get wiped each month) before you can start getting paid for each extra overtime hour. But the tax eats enough of it, that many people just exchange it for days off before they reach 70 hours. Or just work longer hours Mon-Thu and work shorter Fridays – of course, this doesn’t work for all job positions. I don’t think employers are legally allowed to force the workers to use up that overtime, and there is a legal daily limit, but how it works in my company, we just transfer those hours to another day instead, so people can still work over that limit regardless.
Yeah, it’s not exactly a worker’s utopia here, for sure, but at least there’s some raise every year that my employer wouldn’t otherwise give me if not for collective bargaining.
No minimum wage, but we do have collective bargaining, for anyone who’s interested.
I’m starting to understand why some people believe in the simulation theory. Like, this is too dumb to be reality, right? Realizing how utterly stupid and hateful people who voted for this are, is genuinely terrifying. Idiocracy, but worse, because at least the president in it was redeemed.
My main issue with the zones is for some inexplicable reason one cannot save their template. You’re stuck with the default ones, and – at least in my case on Fedora – the custom one you set up tends to reset on reboot (not always, which is also ?? unless somehow it gets affected by OS updates?).
Ho-ly, the dedication.
Lucifer… Yeah, the way that show ended, I wouldn’t touch it with a ten foot pole. The rest are cool, though.
If you’re going to give a “MOBA” as an example, at least go for Dota 2, then. Having played both, LoL is quite one-dimensional and rather repetitive. Of course, you don’t have to be smart or skillful to play either, but top Dota 2 players/pros are really something else.
I did not expect to see Severance immediately upon opening comments. I hope the camera person didn’t go full Irv on this seal.
I can only speak for the bedtime, but for some of us, it sucks. My partner can fall alseep within a few minutes. For me it can take anywhere from 10 minutes to a couple of hours, even if I’m absolutely exhausted. So one hour doesn’t sound wild.
Aww, I used to play this on my keyboard some 15 years ago. Fun times.
This meme format always catches me off guard, because it’s from my tiny-ass country lol
Fyi it could be filters need changing. Right now if we turn on the aircon at work, I get terribly sore throat that would last for days. Turns out they change/clean the filters only once a year, and it’s even worse in some other rooms where it also smells bad.
Cries in having no sunlight in the apartment. Mine didn’t survive the dark apartment life, so can’t confirm.
One of my family cats is currently at the end of her life due to kidney disease. It really sucks, glad they’re doing something about it. Now if only they could do the same for dogs.
It’s funny to me how easy English has it. All you have to do is use “they”, and if people think that’s awkward, they should see how difficult it is to navigate it in a language with complex verb conjugations with gendered nouns and verbs. It’s complicated to the point that non-binary people will still use their assigned-at-birth (if that’s the term?) pronouns, to save everyone - including themselves - a headache. There’s of course a movement to change the language, but it’s difficult.
My partner was like that when I got a dog because he thought he would need to compete with the dog for my love. We were in our early 20s and I’m sure being raised by the toxic narcissist of a parent didn’t help. He got over it fast after I asked why the fuck would he ever think that way.
