There are also USB-C earbuds. I've kept a pair in the glove box in case I'm out and don't have my wireless in my pocket. My wireless are not a part of my every day carry, so it's nice to have a backup. I'm grateful to have them when I need them, but I HATE using them now that I have grown accostomed to true wireless.

They're in spring right now, and Tazmania is below freezing and snowing in some areas literally this very moment. So I guess it does. It is VERY far south, almost as far south as the tip of Argentina.

I understand what they're trying to do - bring attention to total cost of ownership and the price disparity between petrol and electricity. It's clearly marked and impossible to miss when you're on the website speccing out a car, so it's maybe a little initially deceptive, but not scummy imo. But it also leads to screenshots like this...

Well there's already a preexisting list. Presumably, projects today that might have been at the top of the list are now deprioritized in favor of projects that meet these criteria.

From the thumbnail, I assumed this was a British story for some reason.

"I'm lovin' it" wouldn't have been better in this case, however.

(laughs in European)

She's not a teacher, shes in the library. But - she is allowed absolutely zero ot. She's already had her time card adjusted on days that she worked early or late to match her scheduled hours. And they only pay her for 7 hours a day, but it's an 8 hour work day and she hasn't once had the time to take a hour for lunch.

What even IS the recourse when it's not a comproration, but the government that is stealing your wages? 🤷 I think I'm more upset about it all than she is, because the quality of life is way higher than her last job. And so I'll just keep it all to myself.

I don't think you understood the exercise.

Thanks, Disney.

Thanks. Damn, he just has so little control, he'll say almost anything. It's not exactly encriminating but leaves little doubt that Drumpf knew exactly what was going on, as if we didn't know he participated.

Can you link that quote?

My wife got her first pay check last week at her new job in a US school district. I was certain something was wrong when it came in, but the pay stub did nothing to show the breakdown of hours, rate, etc. She finally got a response today - and I've learned that school breaks are NOT PTO. She gets zero PTO she can take during the school year, and while frustrating not to be able to choose when you take your time off, I assumed that was just because she gets the summer off. But apparently she gets no PTO AND takes 71 days out of the year off without pay, effectively. So they do you the favor of paying you over 12 months, but you still only get paid for hours worked. The rate of pay seemed like it would be a pay raise on the surface, but I never anticipated needing to dock it by 20%.

Zero PTO. Just the perks of American life.

I'm pretty sure that bridge is a portal to another world.

Thanks, my mind when to nuclear radiation, not heat radiation. Makes sense!

Better than 5x at 16h I guess. 😅

Hit and miss anyways. Into the Spiderverse is an incredible series of films, and yet Sony's attempts at live action Spider-Man lately are certainly incompetent.

Don't even utter such heresy lest they hear it.

I actually somehow didn't fully process that it didn't say "ad free", but rather "non-personalized ads". Wtf. €7 and you still get ads? Insanity. This is the sort of site I would never return to again.

Miyazaki has inferred multiple times that they would love to do a remake for PS5 or PC port, but Sony owns the IP and he's thus not allowed to talk about it and they can't touch it without Sony's blessing.

And then if it doesn't sell well, they'll use that as an excuse to discontinue private server development; and when they cancel their live service, it'll be dead forever.

You are exactly right - how could this have possibly been a guess, lol.

Why do people want to look inside a nasty toilet in the first place? Why even INVITE the possibility of your deodorant, lotion, phone, or cat falling in to a perpetually open toilet? I'm a very lazy man, but this is too far. Close your fucking toilet.

It went extinct because the sea levels rose and the island it inhabits was entirely under water. Honestly, we're headed that direction - they might be in trouble again in relatively quick order.

An expert witness who testified in the RNC case estimated that “approximately one-third of a [percent] of non-Hispanic White voters [in Arizona] are Federal-Only Voters, while a little more than two-thirds of a percent of minority voters are Federal-Only Voters.” So the universe of voters who registered using the federal form isn’t that large, but it is disproportionately non-white, which likely explains the GOP’s interest in this case — among other things, Republicans wanted to prevent these federal-only voters from casting a vote for president.

In 2020, President Joe Biden lost white Arizona voters, but very narrowly won the state due to his strong performance among Latinos. Biden’s margin of victory was only about three-tenths of a percent, so even a small shift in who was allowed to vote in Arizona might have changed the result.

I can't parse this. They can't possibly be saying 0.33% of non-Hispanic white voters are federal only.

Yeah, that could be the difference - I definitely lived in a right to work state. But they certainly sold it even there as if you must join.

I'm sure the union rep made it sound like you must, but I wonder if you were actually required. The major US grocery chain I worked for, the union shoved themselves down your throat but it was NOT required. It felt to me that their negotiations amounted more to collusion than actually fighting for the workers. I hope they're the weakest union in the history of the world and that they don't all suck as badly.

There is also just the one straight path from the US east coast (Florida) to Asia.

I mean, if we're talking about real solutions - a highly effective and efficient option would be airships. Could replace mid and long distance freight trucking shipments. Could replace international freight ships too.

RFK can appear very appealing if you don't look hard enough. Sit him down to watch the John Oliver segment and see what he thinks then. If he's a rational person, he might see the error of his ways.

They didn't post hoping to get lambasted, they already admitted to the mistake. Take it easy.

These companies should be paying fines in the BILLIONS of dollars for their malfeasance. I got a notice from work this morning, this is horrifying.

Venezuela. But that certainly seems to be the idea.

Not only that - but he's a flight risk, literally laying out his plan to go to Venezuela when he loses the election.

I believe it was an interview on Kimmel that I just watched where she indicated she absolutely is for Medicare For All, not opposed.

Edit: well, I cannot for the life of me find this interview.

Not precident in the legal sense, but you're right - if they back off of this defense and agree to take it to court, they'll be fielding way more of these potentially because there will be blood in the water.

Yeah, it certainly has the potential to go sour too. And if they were shopping around for favorable courts, that could be more likely than I would hope. Because to your point, our justice system does not actually work particularly well as it turns out. If the highest court in the land is so corrupt, all these little courts with even less visibility and oversight scare me.

It's hard to believe that they decided to take their stand on a case destined to be as high profile as this one. What a monumental misstep. But I hope they stick to their guns now, and that precident is set that stops this practice dead in its tracks.

I'm not exactly sure that it DOES contradict the law, which is the problem.

My hope for this case is that it sets the precident of crushing their bullshit terms of forced arbitration before this happens again and deems terms like these unenforcable. To date, I'm not aware of anyone challenging this in court - meanwhile every company in the country is adding terms like these to their software agreements. So let's throw this shit out for good.

You're absolutely right, ~80% of Mozilla's revenue is from Google's paying to be the default search engine in Firefox - and the US is going after Google for it's anticompetitive behaviors as we speak. Ad blocking aside, Mozilla is going to need help pretty soon anyways if Google gets their monopoly broken up.
