A contract for a salaried position may say something like “you will work 40 hours a week but you maybe have to work some moderate overtime to complete tasks at certain times throughout the year.” (Probably better worded than that) but that means they can expect you to work overtime every now and then if there is a deadline or a project that requires it. But if its every week or an unreasonable amount of overtime per week then you should be compensated with time in lieu or extra money. It all depends on your contract.

When I ready mini painting I though you were talking about doing normal paintings on tiny canvases. 😅

I lean into it. “Oh you only slept for 20 mins? I feel great, I got a full 8 hours. I don’t even drink caffeine because I sleep so well”.

*American apple people. No one else on earth gives a shit.

All hail the fork!

We call that a tactical vom in my circle of friends. My mate was known for it back in the day!

In Australia you can send money via phone number or email (called payid) but it’s not sent in an email or SMS, it’s just that your number/email address is used as a unique identifier linked to your bank account. When someone pays you via either of those, the money gets directed into that account instantly.

And yes, being paid directly into your bank account is standard here and I would say really the only option for most jobs. I’m 35 and have never had a job that doesn’t pay you direct to your account.

But where does a mango?

Yeah Australia is slightly different to the US in that it’s huge but there are very few people living here. Take the largest state: Western Australia which is literally 4 times the size of Texas. But do people drive from Adelaide (capital of South Australia) to Perth (capital of Western Australia)? No, not generally. It takes 28 hours of non-stop driving. And the thing is, there is hardly anything in between. This means you have to be careful about fuel stops and maybe even have a satellite phone. Look up the Nullarbor Plain of you’re interested.

People “from the country” might drive several hours to visit relatives and you might drive 3-4 hours to go to a camping/holiday destination, but if you’re headed to another major city, you are most likely going to fly.

The closest other capital city to Adelaide is Melbourne but that’s still ~8 hours away by car. But there is a really nice scenic route called the Great Ocean Road which you would usually do over a a few days.

I’m a mix between chaotic neutral and lawful neutral. I have a vertical monitor on my left which is mainly for slack + documents. Center screen for code and what ever I’m focused on and laptop screen on the right for calendar, email, other not in focus things.

Their hand is half in very clear water.

They took it further than the incorrect “would of” just to fuck with us.

Who downvotes this? Chris Sawyer is the GOAT.

You guys are doing great!

You heard it here first folks. This is a conspiracy by big popcorn to increase sales.

Yeah that is the only explanation but it’s just an obsession at that point… Keeping power to the literal death sounds like mental illness to me.

Imagine not wanting to retire when you clearly have a shit tonne of money and could live a very comfortable and happy retirement. He probably could have retired like 40 years ago too. I don’t get it.

They meant that they’ll live just fine. You see, they will be dead before climate change decimates our planet. 🤷‍♂️

At one point I watched a few videos about marvel films and the negatives about them. One was about how captian marvel wasn’t a good hero because she was basically invincible and all powerful etc etc. I started getting more and more suggestions about how bad the new strong female leads in modern films are. Then I started getting content about politically right leaning shit. It started really innocuously and it’s hard to figure out if it’s leading you a certain way until it gets further along. It really made me think when I’m watching content from new channels. Obviously I’ve blocked/purged all channels like that and my experience is fine now.
