Usually the way it works is that you keep working the same hours, so 40 is the usual, and the difference you get as extra paid vacation days. So 2.5 h/week * 47 weeks = 117.5 hours or a bit over 14 days. That's almost 3 weeks of extra paid vacation.

We don't need the vulgar discourse of X on the worlds favorite porn site.

Risa is my favorite community. It took over the warm and fuzzy spot in my heart that I had for r/lotrmemes.

Then the singular would be scrotex

I used to have the app, but that was ad galore. Now when I browse it, usually for some book series, with firefox and some ad blockers, it's perfectly fine to read and browse. So I don't really get the hate, but that might be because I don't usually browse it for new content, but as a reference for finished series, like the wheel of time.

How do you find these? You search alternative video players or is there some site where you enter a youtube url and it gives you alternatives?

When you build a country on debt, don't be surprised when the banks end up holding all the cards. Those landlords took a risk and now it's biting them in the ass. And honestly, looking at the conditions in those loan contracts, those are pretty big gambles. I understand putting your money to work, but then it never was their money to begin with.

Good question, but I don't know the answer. I'm sure there are, but I would guess those will likely be in French.

I feel like Oprah now

What kind of monstrosity is this?!? What about Darth Pringles? I think a sith with a 'stache might give some dark swagger.

I think mine would be disappointingly boring

Gaan met die banaan!

While from a technical point of view it would allow for the continuation of combustion engines, and is thus an attractive alternative for car makers, it doesn't make sense to use hydrogen on such small scales. Making hydrogen cleanly requires a lot of energy, so the idea generally is to use renewable energy to generate hydrogen from water. This works for industrial applications like steel making, but on a small scale it just doesn't make economic sense because it needs to be cooled down so much.

The main reason why hydrogen is pushed is because it is also a byproduct of natural gas exploitation, so called blue or grey hydrogen.

I find them all good, but he does make some episodes about lesser known aspects. He has a series of 4 or 5 episodes where he really takes a deep dive in Haiti and its tumultuous history. This was a french colony at the time and one of Napoleons, if not the most questionable, decisions. He dives into the history of the Haitian resistance, the slavery, the politics, etc .. and then ties it in with why Napoleon did what he did (reinstate slavery in Haiti). The guy who makes the podcast is a history student and took such a deep dive in the history of Haiti he is now considered one of the foremost experts in the field, and has been asked to give lectures about it. Fascinating stuff.

But if you want to know about Napoleons brilliance in battle, the entire Italian campaign is legendary for a reason and the episodes do it justice, while also doing a good job at separating fact from fiction (and in the process explaining the birth pf Napoleons propaganda machine).

Also the battle of Eylau episode gave me goosebumps. Incredible episode.

I'm a history buff, so :

-The Age of Napoleon: brilliant podcast that covers the entire Napoleonic era from different angles, currently about halfway, one episode per month

-The history of Rome: finished podcast that goes over every era and emperor in Roman history

I love a normal F1 weekend, but this sprint shit ruins it. You get a half assed quali because they didn't get enough practice, then another half assed quali followed by a stupidly short race and only then you get some proper racing, if people aren't getting disqualified for breach of regulations due to not enough practice sessions.

The original F1 weekend format is perfect, why mess withit?!? (Yes, money, I'm aware)

I checked it yesterday as I was suffering through a meeting that should have been an email and the content quality on reddit these days is appalling. I don't have an account anymore, so I was just browsing r/all, but still, it's very noticeable compared to a year ago.

Ah, that's a shame in a way because I liked the idea of this guy walking around irl. Still a great image though.

It's not that simple. Caricatures are easy, but the fact remains that the Chinese auto makers are heavily subsidized and it's that government support that allows them (partially at least) to undercut the European auto makers.

That being said, the European auto makers really deserve to be hurt for their arrogance. And that's coming from someone whose income is directly related to how well they do.

It's probably a futile question, but are there any republican representatives that could switch to the democrats?

I mean, some of them are probably pretty close to the most right leaning dems.
