I’m always horrified when people talk about how it’s not that easy to pass your driving test (Victoria Australia).
Yikes, I hardly drive, rent a car when I need one, and I’m considered “good” by some, because I passed on the first try? I feel like the barrier to entry is far too low.
Though, such is life when you allow the city to expand to the ridiculous levels it has without adequate public transport…
It’s for this reason voting machines are a bad idea.
Journalists (as a whole) are some of the worst when it comes to referencing. “A report from organisation found…” yes, okay, what’s it called, when was I released, better yet LINK THE DAMN REPORT.
Journalists, why you so bad at this?
This is the one time Australia’s terrible defamation laws could do some good, if they lived in Australia.
I guess not retail, which I randomly plucked out to get some numbers. I also thought 2.5x ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Fuck, you Americans are getting ripped off. Here the legal minimum is 2.25x pay for public holidays (Australia)
1.5x? Are ya serious? That’s like the lowest tier of overtime. Or sunday penalty rates.
For real, I can’t believe people aren’t even getting that.
(Illegal underpayment still happening here, aside).
Oh yeah, I like this hypothesis
I like this train of thought, but 99 x 230 = 22,770
This is probably some US nonsense where the battery was $220 without tax, and the value at the register for the 99 batteries was with tax.
Needless to say: 🤢
Wait, this artist is serious and not mocking drivers with this opinion? Lol
I am a bit of a dunce lol, clearly need my joke meter checked. Hope you’re having a good one also
No, according to the poster, this post was removed from r/NCD (on Reddit).
What a joke, considering the message haha. May he lose!
I think this source hasn’t sampled their data very well. The figures for china seem wildly wrong.
The figures from the same source even list the number of automobiles in China as 319 million in 2022, no where even close to 64% of the population.
The 64% commuting with own car in China is way off. So I’d question the entire chart.
Apparently vote.gov is a thing.
Yeah, I’d be super sus doing this via a 3rd party.
So why are they asking?
This isn’t click-bait. An unpaid internship IS unpaid work.
In Australia and a number of other countries they are ILLEGAL. (Other than when it forms a small part of a degree).
Unpaid internships are work, and it seems you agree. This CMO is literally saying people should be willing to work for free to get their foot in the door, a disgusting and illegal practice which only gives employers even more power.
The drawbacks are many and the benefits are few.
Watching foreign films would be a pain, where is this in the world again, what does 19:00 mean for them? More exposition, or you just have to guess based on languag and accent.
I need this work done by our team in XYZ country, what are their working hours? (wow, look at that, still using timezones?)
When you arrive somewhere on holiday, now you have to get a sense of the time there. Or continually be thinking “what’s that in my home time?/what’s that in solar time”, which is why solar time just makes more sense.
People aren’t going to stop thinking in solar time, ever. We’re hard-wired to be awake with the sun. It doesn’t matter what the numbers are, you will associate them with the sun. The question then becomes, would we rather all use roughly the same numbers (timezones, what we currently have), or different numbers (everyone using UTC).
Using UTC solves only 1 problem, you can say verbally to someone across the world, let’s make the meeting 15:00 - but this is already easily solved by using a calendar which converts for you…
There’s a reason we have never used a single non-solar time, it’s just worse and I think there’s a reason these posts always end up on programmer focused places on the internet. Yes, I’m sure their job is annoying, and it would be easier to not have to solve time conversion problems, but the time conversion problems wouldn’t even go away if you forced everyone to use UTC. You’d just start having to do conversions to solar time, or looking up waking hours (which is just timezones)
This is a solved problem.
The neat part is that businesses can be in the bottom couple of floors. Though often this doesn’t seem to be done unless it’s the CBD…
