13esq, to asklemmy in Which song are you currently obsessed with?

Be careful with over listening to a great song!

There are a few tracks that I absolutely can’t enjoy anymore only due to the sheer amount of times that I’ve already listened to them. They’re still amazing songs, but any joy I can derive from them has been ruined.

You can absolutely have too much of a good thing.

You’re arguing about semantics, it doesn’t change the point that I was trying to make.

I mean, that is kind of what a paycheck is for. . .

Why not just live near your work place and save money and time yourself instead of making it your employers problem that you have a long commute.

Don’t get me wrong, I understand the appeal of getting paid more for any reason. I just don’t think that it’s going to go down well in a workplace where some people would be getting paid substantially more for no other reason than they’ve chosen a job that’s far from where they live.

I was comparing two different, but very reasonable scenarios where two employees pay would be hugely different for a very silly reason. It’s not apples and oranges.

You seem to assume that I was implying that the two people in the scenario live an equal distance from the work place.

My scenario implies that the cyclist might live less than ten miles from work and that the driver lives a multiple of that away and ridicules the idea of financially rewarding someone for living further away from the workplace in terms of distance, time and carbon footprint.

Stupid ideas get stupid questions!

It seems silly to incentivise long commutes.

Why pay someone that drives an hour each way more than someone that cycles to work in twenty minutes?

In that example, based on a wage of £20ph, the driver would be earning £6,666 per year more than the cyclist, that’s nearly an additional £300,000 over a 45 year career… You’d be an absolute idiot to not sell your house and move as far away from your work as reasonably possible.

Can we not direct people to Reddit? There are many other ways to share an image that don’t give traffic to a site that many of us came here to avoid.

13esq, to asklemmy in What is a fun gadget you have purchased that has added value to your life?

I’ve had a look, not purchased, but watched a lot of review videos and I’d recommend you to do the same as no one here is going to have really tried all the different models available.

Unfortunately, the price does seem to correlate with the quality and performance and the most expensive auto vacuums cost in the £300 region. They also will never be as powerful as a traditional upright, can’t do stairs and of course you still have to empty them and take them up and down the stairs to do the different floors of your house. But yh, the price is the biggest reason I’ve not gotten one myself.
