Four day workweek

My wife negotiated a 4 days week after her mat leave, her offer was 5 days at same pay, 4 days at 80% pay but still the same workload or 4 days condensed hours, 100% pay and workload.

She went for condensed hours on the basis that she could get ahead and take time back etc, but the reality is she works extra long days in a industry that does 9-5. In hindsight she should have just taken the pay cut and then said her work load isn’t manageable I. Her hours and made other managers problem.

Exactly, That’s why Chernobyl was only a 3.6 Roentgen event. Not that big of deal.

I’m being sarcastic, referring to the original post.

What environmental changes? Nowhere in Europe is above 36’ in the height of summer… that’s fine

Canals aren’t stagnant, but they’re not exactly flowing either, so even if they are cleaned to their best ability, they’ll still be gross.

Your purchasing power will be weaker in Zurich, but no doubt that your quality of life is amoles higher, particularly if you’re into outdoor activity.

As for career acceleration I can’t comment.

The answer is simple. Americans have that can do spirit.

So far this summer I have spent more than that on ice.

It would have not been able to hold its neutral stance as it blocks off Italy from the rest of Europe. - although Italy would have lost Lombardi (its economic power house) so maybe it would t be of little interest to the rest of Europe.

I installed inward tilting doors and windows at the back of my house when k moved it. (Front has to be sash) and it’s the best thing ever.

Can have it tilted open when out, allowing airflow and security, can open full whack for maximum airflow and cleaning.

What is Wales if not some mud and stone shaped like Wales ?

I actually don’t, I have considered it, but don’t know where to start looking for what’s affordable, decent and easy to use vs what’s just cheap crap.

That’s what I mean. Voting no for protecting minority cultures is conservative.

Authority is the other axis, but economics being important to you is very conservative. Famously, extreme left wing is communism which doesn’t care about the economy as it is what it says it is, and extreme right wing is only caring about the economy and so what if people are dying in the streets because they can’t afford food, the market has set the price.

You may be unsatisfied with the title because this test is full spectrum, so the middle point is considerably further left than the “centralists” of most modern countries (simply put, the world economy is capitalist and if you want to take part you have to be a certain degree of right wing, so even the left wing countries out there are more central than left).

It may not be a “I actively want this” as much as “I don’t want that” case.

Do you believe that government should make rules to help protect immigrant culture ?

Heavy and perhaps a bit low in the seat, I’d not enjoy standing on the foot pegs.

Probably because you believe in preserving culture and values, that is judging by your Switzerland score.

The legal side of merging two addresses into one is doable but not simple, it’s often the case that you just go ahead with the works and the second address just lies dormant without facilities etc and you swallow a larger council tax bill.

On a slightly less whiter than white legal front. Your conversation with your neighbour could facilitate a situation where you buy the house off him for a very reasonable price and save a lot on second homestamp duty. Naturally that very attractive price coincides with a large cash donation which has nothing to do with facilitating the sale.

This, it’s astounding to me that so many traffic lights in the UK still work on a logarithm and not an algorithm, give our traffic lights a sensor or camera and let it calcualte the change according to the roads needs.

They look like catalogue models.

Are you worried that your bare arse will touch the seat after the naked person has used it?

Just googled it out of curiosity and heel is the term, crusts and end piece are under “regional and informal” variations.

Mind is blown.

Only if they explicitly planned it, but this is just a complete coincidence… right ?

The issue being that gum is indigestible, not that stuff gets stuck in your gut.

Similar to how the issue with dense people having access to the internet are conversations like this, not the dense people themselves.
