According to the union, on average, each worker will receive almost $11,000 in back pay. One worker is set to receive more than $145,000.

You won't believe this, but I found it in the OP's article. Wild. Also:

"The primary underpayment that we first uncovered related to misclassification, so workers being paid in many cases level one in the retail award when, in fact, they should have been paid level three, four or five," Mr Peak said.

"For some workers, that represented up $5 an hour that they were being paid below the legal minimum.

"It also went to the mis-payment [sic] of a range of allowances [such as] not being paid cold work allowances, not being paid the uniform allowance, or uniforms weren't being provided to them as they should be under the award."

Not German, but close enough - there's usually at least one bus within walkable distance, even if it's only like 4 times a day or something, that connects to a larger hub.

I lived in a place where I had to be by the bus stop at 7h30. If I missed that I'd have to wait for the next at 8h15, and if I missed that one, I'd better call to say I wasn't able to go that day.

However, in smaller towns and in the countryside, with no cars, life is so different to the frenetic chaos of big cities that it's hard to put into words.

For science?

You're still thinking in a context where the earth is travelling around the sun, etc etc.

If you assume the Earth as the reference point, then that is fixed, absolutely frozen, doesn't move at all. That's point zero.

You cannot calculate where the earth is. What you do is calculate where everything else, the universe itself and even other dimensions, are with regards to your fixed point.

This can feel counterintuitive, but here's a random visualization: https://youtube.com/shorts/UZyuZVvCE78

Note that, in that video, only the perspective has changed. The solar system is moving as usual.

Are you perhaps experiencing a fever, discomfort or itching at the bite site, and a sudden and inexplicable fear of water?

Because it's been a hot minute since I've seen such a nonsensical, aggressive response to an innocuous comment...

That's outright disgusting.

If you need to regularly scratch your anus, go see a doctor.

Also, even if you do need to scratch your anus, why wouldn't you be able to eat with your hands? SURELY you sanitize them properly RIGHT? RIGHT?!

Mass tourism.

Mass tourism is a cancer that needs to be irradiated from any proper city. That shit brings very little money, and mobs of unruly, uneducated dimwits that think they own someone's soul because they spent €5 on a couple of the cheapest drinks on the menu.

What is that 2 - 12 kmh sign? A speed limit for a pedestrian road?

Ew.

What do you mean, potatoes are closer to tomatoes than to sweet potatoes or onions?

Botany is a scam.

This.

Also, upgrade to Linux.

And probably made of chocolate? I can see where they might have picked that one up.

You're not very good at this...

Well I mean, if you fell asleep with that cute, satisfied look, it was absolutely worth it!

Sounds like a fun party!

A prude, uptight wizard who can't deal with the barbarian's lack of decorum, a bard who's been having wet dreams about the barbarian, and the barbarian itself, who completely ignores the antics of both of them.

"Wizard, make a Wisdom saving throw.”

You fail. Spectacularly.

And so, dear Wizard, your eyes—those twin orbs of arcane wisdom—are assailed by an unspeakable sight. A full, high-definition, slow-motion vista opens before you: the truth. Gronk… is going commando.

There is no lining. No barrier. No modesty. The protection this garment offers is strictly magical, not moral.

In a moment that seems to stretch into eternity, the dress lifts, flutters, and reveals the unrestrained thunder of Gronk’s ancestral pride—swinging with the weight of a hundred rages. Like a pendulum powered by pure barbaric joy. And now... you know.

A single tear of blood rolls down your cheek. Then another. Your staff slips from your hands as your pupils dilate with trauma. You take 1d4 psychic damage and gain the Bleeding (Eyes) condition for the next 1d6 rounds. Your next spell has disadvantage, unless it's Blindness/Deafness cast on yourself.

Roll for therapy.

"Climate crisis is making things slightly too warm for comfort"

Oh my. How bothersome.

I know you didn't mean it that way, just the understatement had me cackling.

I heard the "OUTCH!" In this image.

Don't know about availability in the US, but at least in Europe there are many, many alternatives out there, both from traditional brands (Mercedes, BMW, etc etc) and more recently, from Chinese brands.

A friend bought a BYD Seal the other day, he got a total bargain for their top version at 41k€, but that got me looking into them, and their lineup is looking pretty impressive.
