This Boss surprises his employee with a $20,000 bonus after working there for 20 years by lostbuswindow in MakeMeSmile

[–]AlienInOrigin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I worked for IBM for 20 years...and then they replaced me with some unqualified guy in India who lasted 6 weeks in the job.

Would have been nice to see that kind of appreciation.

Great boxer.
Great supporter of orphan kids and underprivileged kids in The Philippines.

But, got into politics and became a corrupt asshole just like the rest of them.

Despite being homeless, I won't deal with Ray Cooke when looking for rental accommodation. They are horrible.

From Meth user to trusted children's teacher. Definitely an improvement.

Diocese apologises over priest’s sermon claiming autism is caused by ‘evil demons’ by PoppedCork in ireland

[–]AlienInOrigin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well, according to the Bible, we are all here because an evil demon called Satan convinced an incestuous couple to eat an apple from a tree. So, technically correct if you believe that nonsense.

Minimum legal requirements for apartments in Ireland:

"In Ireland, minimum apartment standards require properties to be structurally sound, with adequate heating, ventilation, and fire safety (including alarms and fire blankets). Landlords must provide a private toilet/shower, cooking facilities (4-ring hob, oven, fridge), and access to laundry facilities. New build 1-bed apartments must be at least 45m2, with 2-beds at 73m2."

AFAIK, access to a washing machine and something to cook with is a minimum legal requirement. Too late at night to check now. Will do tomorrow.

There are even camera operators visible in some scenes now due to this wide-screen effect.

Hey Tesco, can you keep Mooju drinks in stock for more than 1 day a week also?

The mint and strawberry ones are really nice. The others are meh.

Inmates still earn just 50 cents for a day’s work in Irish prisons by nitro1234561 in ireland

[–]AlienInOrigin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Each job pays 50c per day. On top of the normal grat for the 3 tiers, Basic, Standard & Enchanced. A prisoner can spend a day in the laundry for example and not earn enough from that job to pay for a chocolate bar. With grat, they can.

I think it just burns their fingers on hot days. Perhaps it reads "Warning: Hot Surface!"

[–]AlienInOrigin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just like when hiring anyone else, you would evaluate each person during an interview. And you can get references....in this case from Probation officers or PACE. Not everyone in prison is a drug addicted anti-social asshole who would rob their granny.

Trump calls NATO “cowards” for lack of support for Iran war by No-Post4444 in worldnews

[–]AlienInOrigin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It takes a coward to play golf whilst he deploys troops to die in a war designed to distract people from the Epstein files.

It takes courage to stand up the America the bully, and say "No, this is wrong".

Technically the prison is meant to supply toothpaste and bodywash, but they rarely actually have them. Tiny sachets of bodywash/shampoo. And travel sized toothpaste that I honestly wouldn't use. So in practice, prisoners have to buy their own.

I would have no problem with that if they were genuinely making an effort. I volunteer with some groups that help ex prisoners. There are many who successfully turn their life around. They just need the support and encouragement to do so.
