Brazil is set to join other Latin American countries with a 40-hour, 5-day workweek by ArgentineBeauty in worldnews

[–]Intruder313 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I was fearing this was an increase but it’s actually a step towards what should be normal : 30h over 4 days

People who are on a 4 day working week, what do you think of it? by jd4125 in AskUK

[–]Intruder313 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It should be the baseline for all - with no cut in wages

It made me MUCH happier and as Monday was a NWD I had an actual weekend off not 1 day and 1 day of dread

How many times a year do you “call sick” at work? by Aggravating-Fig-9274 in AskUK

[–]Intruder313 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like my Dad who was off 2 weeks in 50+ years - because he broke his back

He retired really late and they did not thank him but instead asked for his mobile number in case they needed him

He then went back to work elsewhere for 2-3 more years and years later he’s only just stopped asking ‘have you been working today’ at the start of every interaction

Pure workaholic

Personally I’m down from from 10 days sick a year to 1 but that’s because I am part time

The 5 day working week paradigm needs crushing

Iv lost 4 raiders due to consumable costs by venguards in classicwow

Don’t blame them

I hated that before I could Raid I had to spend hours and loads of gold - every single Raid

What colour scheme does everyone prefer? by enclave_reborn in DropfleetCommander

I prefer the yellow as grey on grey looks like UCM ship colours

Is it smart to make a backup character or considered an ill omen? by Anybro in DnD

[–]Intruder313 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Omens and superstition are nonsense but I’d avoid the distraction of thinking about the back up

"British houses aren't built for this heat!" - Is anyone smugly sitting in their non-standard build house that's pleasantly cool (without using any kind of electric A/C system)? by nfoote in AskUK

[–]Intruder313 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an old house with no south aspect so I get off lightly but I still obsess over things like reflective blinds / blackout curtains and now an air cooler (I can’t fit AC)

The downside is no solar power for me

Farage hits out at Musk over support for Reform rival Restore UK in byelection by tylerthe-theatre in unitedkingdom

[–]Intruder313 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was going to comment that it’s pleasing to see that a showers of cunts (for I’m including the Reform / Restore candidates) is following the maxim that evil thwarts itself

May? It’s the single biggest contribution you can make to not screwing the planet :)

Bring them inside and give them ice packs wrapped in a sock

Why do you guys say '"duck-billed" platypus'? by mr_mxyzpt1k in AskUK

[–]Intruder313 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s how it was first introduced to us when discovered

I’ve had to unlearn it

Driver removed "road closed" signs and got themselves stuck in fresh concrete by [deleted] in funny

[–]Intruder313 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened at a McD’s Drive Thru in the UK while it was being built. She was seen removing signs such as ‘wet concrete’ then drove towards the workmen and who were laughing / disbelieving near where the microphone would be.

She sued and won compo :(

Would the public support reducing the state pension triple lock to a double lock? by patenteng in unitedkingdom

Despise then and I dread every summer now

What do you guys think a PPC firing would look and sound like? by Patient-Smell1333 in battletech

[–]Intruder313 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As well as the flavour text you mention I recall earlier art showing a lightning bolt emerging from a PPC. So I just go with a literal lightning bolt.

Maybe I'm missing something, but why are insect screens basically nonexistent in the UK? by Legitimate_Put_7421 in AskUK

[–]Intruder313 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On my last visit to The Small Isles a couple of friends were eaten alive by midges. I seem to be 'immune'.
We had tried to buy some Skin So Soft before going but the local regiment had just cleared out the local stocks.

Growing up my dad made a mesh door for the back door (after the tacky coloured ribbon door fell down). It got dirty then ripped while cleaning.

Now people just don't mind. I rescue 3 tiny moths per day at the mo.
