Everywhere I worked in North America (USA and Canada) paid bi-weekly.

Everywhere I’ve worked in Europe (Germany and UK) paid monthly.

I would guess that this is just a difference in norms

Doubtful, given that Dendi is Ukrainian…

But now that I think of it, he’s a Russian speaking Ukranian so maybe he WOULD be their first choice…

Interestingly, in europe this seems to vary by country!

I was just thinking that I wasn’t sure which was correct, but it seems both are actually acceptable in Germany although after the number is preferred

Ceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeb

I had these during kindergarten (in the 90s) in the US, but they replaced them with cartons by the time I got to first grade.

Which is good because none of us 5 year Olds could operate them

I grew up on a farm and this was the ultimate defense against geese.

They are much lighter than you, so if you can get them off the ground (neck or feet ideally) they can’t do anything

It has it’s own challenges, sure… but english isn’t even remotely close to being the hardest language to learn

The spelling is messed up, it has (like virtually every language) a bunch of exceptions to rules, but the grammar has been hugely simplified over the past 1000 years.

Not to mention that the biggest advantage to learning languages is familiarity and the fact that English is, well, everywhere makes it easier.

Sure Esperanto is easier, but for most of the world something like Japanese would be muuuuuch harder

Good point, it did mention US in the title

I’m going to guess you mean New Hampshire in the USA?

I’m skeptical that this is at all true, but it’s not about being granted the job, but rather getting past the initial HR filtering and actually getting the chance to talk to a human.

Depends heavily on the disability. For, for instance, blind people, the day cars were banned would be the best day of their lives!

Recently got back into Dota 2. It’s still incredibly good!

Depends on the country though as well. Its probably pretty easy to figure out for big ones like the USA, but in smaller countries its often a mess…

For any sort of online banking you generally need a password.

A lot of banks these days are online only.

Honestly, I know you mean we’ll but I find statements like this extremely dangerous and damaging.

There isn’t some ‘international council of men’ that could collectively sort anything out. Ideas like blaming the whole gender is part of the reason why we have a rise in far-right sentiment among young men, as it’s easy to feel like the world is against you for things that you personally have no say in. Young men (just like anyone else) need support, and not to be blamed for bad-behavior of others!

Instead it’s up to those of us (the vast majority) who don’t represent toxic masculinity to set a compassionate example

I use it to run the Sky App to stream football.

The only options are a windows app or an android app (since you can’t watch in the browser) and I couldn’t get the windows app to work with WINE.

The android app runs fairly well with waydroid, although it occasionally runs into some hiccups.

I think they mean “reign supreme” in the sense that, given the choice, most people these days would choose the bluetooth anyways.

Its just so nice to not have a cord…

My most recent issue with Bluez is that it’s been very inconsistent about letting me disable auto-switching to HSP/HFP (headset mode) when joining any sort of call.

It’s working now, but it feels like every few months I need to try a different solution.

I loved the books and found the netflix series to be a pretty enjoyable westernization of them.

There were a few changes/choices that were a bit strange or missed the point, but overall it’s worth watching

When they say something like “60 days battery life” what they mean is using the device for half an hour everyday for 60 days.

OP is arguing that it would make more sense to just say the continuous use battery life, which in the above example would be 30 hours (60 × 0.5)
