Australia has 6 weeks of leave at similar service levels, plus 11 public holidays. Turns out many countries have figured out how to not work themselves to death.
And this is why poor and ravaged Ukraine is the only country in Europe that is capable of bringing any real harm to Russians. They have learned how to be violent, for they had to. Rest of Europe didn't. And no, sending some special forces to kill few people in Iraq or Libia is not enough.
Feels like people on their deathbed are allowed to express their thoughts, trite/trivial or not. When you are literally dying the last thing on your mind should be whether some blogger deems your thoughts valuable or cheap.
May we all get to enjoy those final moments free of the need to perform on stage and express those things we truly wish to pass on to those will hear them.
>When you are literally dying the last thing on your mind should be whether some blogger deems your thoughts valuable or cheap.
to be fair when you're dying the other last thing on your mind should probably be your regrets, so there is some truth in the article.
When people go through dramatic events, not necessarily limited to their literal death, there's often a false sense of clarity. It's not uncommon for people with trauma or loss to suddenly have some conversion of one kind or the other, and it's rarely as good of an idea as they think it is. It seems more sincere because for the individual it's tied to some important event, but I think it's often the opposite.
I was tempted to respond with an offhand comment about the size of the industry or similar, but what axe do you have to grind about PC gaming? You'd prefer folks go to the far more injurious mobile gaming space?
Figures this comes from the National Design Studio (https://ndstudio.gov/) which ironically also ignores the government's own advice on web standards and correct use of identifying headers.
One can assume the US Tech Force will perceive itself as also unfettered by those silly rules and good practices.
My actual first thought was "Is this a hoax?" precisely because the website did not identify itself as a US government website in the usual way for executive branch sites.
I know it's par for the course these days, but that's a lot of Js and CSS for a single page app with some text, a few images, and a list of collapsible info sections (whose animations aren't very smooth).
I didn't mean the logo (honestly didn't even notice). I was talking about the robot guy's t-shirt - it does have 13 stripes, but the number and layout of stars look rather play-it-by-ear.
"What's the biggest brand in the world? If you said Trump, you're not wrong. But what's the foundation of that brand? One that's more globally recognized than practically anything else.
...
This is President Trump going bigger than President Nixon"
Of course. Whatever problems the US government had before, mass firings, loyalty tests, furloughs, and endless other shenanigans have only exacerbated them.
There is a somewhat stubborn idea that a government will always have many inefficiencies baked in, since there’s no real incentive to remove them beyond a generic “that would be nice”.
:( I had to click through because I didn't believe you at first... as someone who used to proudly work with feds, this yet another low point in many over the past ten years.
It's a very good system. $20 is the right number to get you off the couch, but not so much as to cripple you. There are exceptions if you have a valid reason for not voting. The maximum fine is ~$180 so you can't simply ignore the Elections Commission and hope it goes away.
