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…
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.

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.
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.
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.
