He first lade a threat. Then I called his bluff and then he pushed through.

In that way I got my full year off.

The stupid thing was that I was fired for reading a newspaper. I didn’t take it up to court because I knew I was getting a full years pay if they fired me that way.

You’re Lemmy is different from mine, so it seems. I have no idea what you’re talking about.

8-10-12 hours is just unhealthy, so not bad that you can’t do that anymore.

I’m 43 and have been gaming since I was 7 years old. These days I play for about 1,5 hours three to four tiles a week. That still is a lot. The less time I spend gaming the more fun I have when I game. It’s really about fun.

Sometimes I feel like Arch users are the vegans of Linux. Can’t spoil an occasion to mention it ;-)

I work in a setting where everybody gets the same wage based on their job level and experience. I assume that out office staff has parity between the genders.

The blue collar part of the company is 99% men.

I got fired for reading the newspaper during my lunch break. Once a week this newspaper came with a for hire section that also included career advice and al that stuff. I was reading that part but the CEO called me into his office to tell me off. I called his bluff and he fired me.

I was scheduled to lead a team in China for a few weeks and after that had to go to the US for some other job. Sadly people that are fired can’t work off premises anymore so the staff manager begged me to accept their withdrawal of my discharge.

I kindly declined and got payed out a years’ wage. Took the time to reorientate into less toxic work environment. I now work with politicians, don’t know what happened there.

That breeding programme called natural selection is what got us all here.

Need more reasons to stop eating ultra-processed food? How about 32 of them? That’s the number of health problems noted in the largest-ever review of studies about the dangers of diets high in ultra-processed foods. The findings, published online Feb. 28, 2024, by The BMJ, come from a review of 45 analyses published in the last three years, involving about 10 million people in total.

Cooking your own meals with unprocessed ingredients is one of the basic parts of a healthy diet.

If you practice a bit cooking a home made meal can be done in less than 30 minutes. If times a issue I have some 20 minute recipes.

I make sure to have a basic stock of ingredients like pasta, flour, some vegetable stock cubes, some assorted spices, onions, fresh garlic,…

USPCC only makes for a fourth of Cartamundi’s revenue. And to make it even more Belgian, Cartamundi is still run by the same two families that founded the company 6 generations ago Each family owns 50% of the shares.

ING Turkey ≠ ING Netherlands ≠ ING anywhere else

Billiard balls and playing cards. Belgium is world leader in both.

Edit: forgot to add pigeons. Belgian competition pigeons are the most expensive in the world.

Edit 2: Belfries. Clock-O-Matic is a Belgian company and world leader in the automation of Belfries. It’s not that hard because most Belfries are located in Belgium and France, if not all of them.

Edit 3: It never ends. Roller coaster wheels. Let that sink in. No their country produces more roller coaster wheels nor is as good as we arr at it.

Your tv is a monitor. Treat it as such.

I was there, in the days of rotten.com

Considering the state of the phones back then my 1+ 3t was amazing. No bloat, dirt cheap. A real flagship killer, as they positioned it.

These days I only require a phone to have fast charge like OnePlus or Oppo delivers it. 15 minutes charge for a full day of use. That’s awesome. I can never go back to iOS because I’m so used to my custom keyboard and the gestures I use for quick acces to apps and other stuff.
