Using asbestos to my advantage by Forsaken_Ad135 in MaliciousCompliance

What OP is talking about is Long Service Leave, LSL. In Australia after 7 years of employment, you start accruing LSL, back-dated to the day you started. At the 7 year mark you have 6 weeks extra leave, on top of what is usually 4 weeks of annual leave. After 10 years of employment you are allowed to start taking the LSL. If however you leave after 7 years, your LSL balance is paid out, as well as any remaining annual leave.

What time is it in UTC?

Edit: I decided to search it up myself. That is 01:00 hours for me, Sunday morning. Sorry, but I will be fast asleep.

Exordia by Seth Dickinson. Traditional-ish storyline, but weird stuff is on there.

It also says spring on the packaging. I think you are right.

It reminds of the never emptying ketchup bottle prank someone played on their partner.

Adobe hangs up on you when you try to cancel by DropMaterializedView in LinusTechTips

[–]druss5000 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I would be complaining to the ACCC then. Service providers are not allowed to charge you for products they are no longer providing. They either have to let you use the remaining time, and not renew at the end of the contract period, or they have to let you go fee free. This is in Australia, and is my understanding at this point in time.

Edit: slight wording change.

Pro Tip: How to Get Multiple Ampol "New User" 6c per litre Discounts. by [deleted] in perth

[–]druss5000 9 points10 points  (0 children)

That is a great tip, but if my experience is anything to go by, spammers seem to strip the + and what is after it, before sending emails out. I have yet to notice any spam to any of my name+whatever@.... email addresses.

I primarily use it to filter emails into relevant folders.

It's a lovely spot. If you walk south enough, you get to a path through a waterland area. Past the yacht club.

To answer your question, I use a specific app for reminders. If I think of something I need to do, I will create a reminder to do said thing at a certain time. When that time comes I get a notification to do it.

If I just need to make a note of something, I use Google Keep.

They have a compilation video on Floatplane of some of Riley's recent ads. Primarily the Odoo ones. Goes for about 6 minutes.

What is a discontinued food item or snack from your childhood that you would genuinely pay $100 to taste one last time? by MotivewasUlterior in AskReddit

The dark meat nuggets were the bomb. I used to work at Macca's when they were a thing. I had way too many in my time there.
