I do get some extra load some times as a salried worker. It’s my first salaried job, so I don’t know if maybe I’m just lucky. Sometimes I work overtime to finish what I’v started, but compensate it the next day by starting an hour late. If the work becomes too much, i will try to work harder, but if that doesn’t fix it either, it’s possible to either extend the deadline or get extra help.
It’s a total culture shock from my previous, hourly job, where I just had to always work more and more for the same hourly rate. They didn’t care that it took longer and they didn’t care for me as long as it got done, but I didn’t want to work more hours, I wanted to spend more time with my kids.
Terry Reintke, the German Green MEP chair, said her group would “absolutely” not support von der Leyen – the incumbent centre-right commission president who is seeking a second term – if she made a deal with the Italian prime minister Giorgia Meloni’s group in the European parliament, the European Conservatives and...
The parties of the EU are quite a mistery to me though. I know my national parties, but what is the european green party? I’m inclined to vote Volt, but are they part of the green party?
It’s the quantity. And also, by the time you’ve filled a cup of spit, it has cooled and dried a bit, maybe even breaking itself down, resulting in an increased viscousity, giving it a very unpleasant mouthfeel.

It makes sense though. Say you claim there’s 10g per 100g of something in your product. Any random scoop of 100g is not always equal. The 20% range means that any random scoop of 100grams must contain between 12 and 8 grams of something.
Due to personell shortages, this will obviously not be tested enough. But ideally it is and when an average of a dundred tests comes out at something other that 10grams per 100 gram, than they’ll have to change it. I gues… I’m don’t know the procedures.
With the lastest news of AI layoffs, I’m struggling to understand how the idea of a career still holds. If careers themselves effectively become gambles like lottery tickets, how do we maintain drive and hopes in the longterm endgame of our struggles?...
I think google’s recent AI strokes, like them advising you to jump of a bridge, are a great example of companies panicking to innovate, to not be left behind. In the meantime they forget to check their implementations, their products and their quality. They’ll slowly dwindle, transform inyo something unrecognizable, but all through their downfall, they’ll continue making money for the shareholders.
So basically it is up to you to inform yourself and make a concious decision which ai service you use. Like how you can use ecosia instead of google or host your webserice in norway instead of the american east coast (renewable energy instead of coal)
I dont know about others, but sometimes I am not able to check my phone, or be fully present in a conversation that I’m part of. Maybe I’m concentrating on work, or driving, and not able to look.

How about other countries? There has been a cooking advice for my region for the past 5 days. It was lifted today, but a new cooking advice was issued for the region next to mine. The cooking advice says to boil your tap water for 3 minutes before drinking, because they found enterecococcen bacteria in the water.
Could this be a cyber attack? Like, there’s not really a bacteria in the water, but the system is made to think there is.
