My wife got her first pay check last week at her new job in a US school district. I was certain something was wrong when it came in, but the pay stub did nothing to show the breakdown of hours, rate, etc. She finally got a response today - and I've learned that school breaks are NOT PTO. She gets zero PTO she can take during the school year, and while frustrating not to be able to choose when you take your time off, I assumed that was just because she gets the summer off. But apparently she gets no PTO AND takes 71 days out of the year off without pay, effectively. So they do you the favor of paying you over 12 months, but you still only get paid for hours worked. The rate of pay seemed like it would be a pay raise on the surface, but I never anticipated needing to dock it by 20%.

Zero PTO. Just the perks of American life.

I'm pretty sure that bridge is a portal to another world.

Thanks, my mind when to nuclear radiation, not heat radiation. Makes sense!

Better than 5x at 16h I guess. 😅

Hit and miss anyways. Into the Spiderverse is an incredible series of films, and yet Sony's attempts at live action Spider-Man lately are certainly incompetent.

Don't even utter such heresy lest they hear it.

I actually somehow didn't fully process that it didn't say "ad free", but rather "non-personalized ads". Wtf. €7 and you still get ads? Insanity. This is the sort of site I would never return to again.

Miyazaki has inferred multiple times that they would love to do a remake for PS5 or PC port, but Sony owns the IP and he's thus not allowed to talk about it and they can't touch it without Sony's blessing.

And then if it doesn't sell well, they'll use that as an excuse to discontinue private server development; and when they cancel their live service, it'll be dead forever.

You are exactly right - how could this have possibly been a guess, lol.

Why do people want to look inside a nasty toilet in the first place? Why even INVITE the possibility of your deodorant, lotion, phone, or cat falling in to a perpetually open toilet? I'm a very lazy man, but this is too far. Close your fucking toilet.

It went extinct because the sea levels rose and the island it inhabits was entirely under water. Honestly, we're headed that direction - they might be in trouble again in relatively quick order.
