Is this another stupid American thing? I’ve never heard anyone getting in trouble for just laying around on public property

Or a gay James Bond man who sleeps with all the other men.

The best inflation is zero. The second best is slight inflation. The third best is slight deflation. Because they can’t control it that well they aim for slight inflation so it doesn’t go negative.

Inflation. The money you have is worth less every year by design. It’s a secret tax on all of us.

Aren’t hospitals mostly free? Or tax payer funded.

This could have been done by any engineer. You need systems in place that make these things impossible. No easy access to prod environment. Proper backups. Clear APIs.

Straight to the pool room!

Oh yeah, and also that other comedian I’ve forgotten the name of. What a dick.

Wireless charger for my phone. No more fiddling with cables.

Some little wireless ear buds. I just got cheap ones but I use them all the time, they’re small, the case charges them, so they last ages. The sound quality of mine is mediocre, but I’m sure there are ones with better sound.

Good for him! Live your best life!

Biking in Melbourne is relatively good compared to many other cities. I hope this fuel crisis gets more people in the habit of riding more often.

A clown. They’re pretty funny

I did do it before I retired. But not as much. I knew that my employers allowed it, but I also knew it wasn’t universal.

It doesn’t bother me that someone might get help for caring for people. I’m just saying giving flexibility to parents and not to non-parents assumes only parents are helping people with that time.

I think you’re fighting a straw man there. I’m saying people should be all allowed flexibility at work, and that parents should get special flexibility. As we can’t judge if what someone does with their flexibility is good for society just based on if they’re parents or not.

I give blood all the time and help out with my parents. But I’m retired so don’t have to clear it with an employer.

People saying that kids are important to society so we should allow parents extra flexibility, it rests on the assumption that what non parents would be doing with that flexible is less important to society. What if I’m giving blood, or helping an elderly parent, or volunteering at a homeless shelter? It’s hardly the employers role to judge pass judgement on what is a worthwhile use of time.
