The intersection of people who are cheapskates and the people who complain when they receive what they pay for on this site never ceases to…

They exist to some extent, sure, but I wouldn't put any faith in the optics. If China had a truly competitive robotics industry we'd be…

This is going to be fairly state specific - it also comes into that renting issue that the law can say one thing, but a bad relationship…

Robot maintenance. More seriously though, robot development is freaking ridiculously expensive, and trying to hit viable levels of…

You're going to get a lot less microplastic from this than you would using cling wrap over a bowl of something instead. That said, the vast…

Lol. There's a lot of hate you're spewing here, and far too little ability to read. I am not on Ozempic, nor am I dieting. I do have eyes,…

No, losing the drive to eat is a means to an end. It's hard to keep taking a drug that leaves you miserable with little to no psychological…

You get release valves on most diets for the times you're feeling particularly shit. Cheat days, things that are surprisingly low calorie…

There are potential mental health side effects to the use of ozempic and basically all dieting drugs (probably inevitable given the body's…

Nope, cause then it would prevent new redundant rules from being made. The trick is to make another rule nullifying redundant rules, now…

Eh, if you're doing anything that calls for closed-toe, I'd be opting for something that actually encloses. You're probably better off…

There's no law against redundancy in government rules.

As if crocs weren't enough, now we have home brand crocs... I shudder to think what wish crocs look like

Disappointed this wasn't related to [Beware of Chicken](https://www.goodreads.com/series/324882-beware-of-chicken) :-(

Considering the ombudsman isn't where those cases go (the ombudsman doesn't hear cases of any kind), I feel pretty confident calling either…

And if you read a little bit further down, you will see that the protections against unfair dismissal still apply. You can't arbitrarily…

Lol. Did you really just rely on an HR company blog post for your legal knowledge? There was a reason you couldn't find a more reputable…

How exactly do you think resignation works? You appear to be thinking it applies from the time an employee says "I am going to resign on…

Fantastic rebuttal, great points you made there.

Even nanoplastics are too heavy to remain airborne for long - they are a food and drink issue, not an air issue. That's why it's not about…

Assuming we are talking about someone employed on a continuing basis (i.e. not casual, which has no notice period), then there are…

Not guaranteed pay, because the company can legally terminate within the notice period for all of the normal termination reasons. It would…

It's the opposite of defeatist - it's realist. You can spend your limited effort and energy on something that will do something meaningful,…

This is like trying to save the oceans by banning plastic straws - it's an almost entirely useless gesture that causes maximum…

Whole bunch of people missing the point - the shares being in the toilet are all the proof the pudding needs. Nobody said the game wasn't…

The game might be amazing - that wasn't the point. The point is that you can make an absolutely incredible hamburger, but calling it a soup…

Not really - they went with an action game, so very few FF fans actually want to touch it. It honestly feels dirty for them to call it a…

Curiosity and asking questions are great things to do - making claims of what is and what should be when you don't know what you're talking…

>A lot of Jewish people there, and they get along with everyone Why. Why do people with no clue about history feel qualified to make…

Yes, it was a stupid idea. But once again, *present an alternative*. It's like Churchill saying that democracy is the worst form of…
