Some stretches do have limits. But even where there are no speed limits there are suggested maximum limits. If you’re over that limit and have an accident (that normally might not be deemed your fault) you’re more likely to be held liable.

I finally started Frostpunk! Things were going so well…then the storm came, my people started freezing to death and executed me. Looking forward to starting another uplifting play through today!

I still love my fairphone 3+. Had it for several years and have yet to need to do any repair or replacement. Pleasantly surprised and impressed! I also love that I can easily put a different OS on the phone (currently using e/os).

Reflections on my first Star Trek Conference (medium.com)

I went to the Star Trek Convention last week - it was my first time there and I had a blast. Overall a great experience and it’s safe to say I have some new friends that I’m looking forward to seeing again next year. At the same time, I found all of the cash-only photos and signatures with the actors to be pretty...

I have a who is a screen actor and they often work for very little pay. Even a recurring character on a hit TV show might not even be making enough to afford health insurance.

This friend recently landed a small but important role in a movie that gained somewhat of a “cult” status after its release. The money he makes from selfies and autographs at conventions is sometimes the only money he earns that month. I can see why it disappoints fans, but I can also understand these actors who are just trying to stay afloat. Especially the Trek actors who often don’t seem to get much other work.

I don’t known if you’ve been paying attention to the SAG strike, but it’s been really eye opening for me! Of course it sucks to pay 10$ for an autograph from a millionaire, but I wouldn’t assume to know how much they all actually make from acting gigs.

Omg I didn’t know this! Though I did wonder why my “all” feed seemed to empty.

One of the few books that made me cry! I really loved it despite the spiders.

I just finished “The Singularity Trap” by Dennis E Taylor. Super fun SciFi book! Ich you don’t know his Bobiverse books you’re missing out.

Well I don’t want to give any spoilers, but a particular spider dies at some point. I found it very moving!

I’m deep into TOTK, though I’m looking forward to getting started with Don’t Starve on my Deck.

I don’t remember the exact page, but there are a few websites that will deDRM an amazon eBook for you for free.

Same in Germany. The big grocery chains all deliver for a reasonable fee. Also, at least in big cities, most neighborhoods have a grocery store in walking distance for most people. Delivery becomes almost unnecessary (for the able-bodied folks)

Bin gerade zu Besuch in den USA und hier hat auch Netflix schon Werbung mittendrin. Echt widerlich!

Wohl schon seit November 2022 gibt es die günstige Abo mit Werbung, hab ich gerade nachgelesen. Mein Abo ist wohl ohne Werbung, deshalb nicht bemerkt. Außerdem zocke ich nur noch :D

I’ve had a Fairphone for a couple years now, didn’t realize its Ubuntu ready? How if the Ubuntu smartphone OS?

kilgore,
@kilgore@feddit.de avatar

Ob es legitim ist, kann ich nicht sagen. Für viele Angebote da scheint man WBS haben zu müssen, deshalb so “günstig”… Alles andere ist am Stadtrand…

I’m on Ubuntu Studio and using Ardour (though I also got Reaper and have been meaning to try it out). There is a LinuxAudio community here on Lemmy you can visit to get some advice!

Genau daran habe ich auch gedacht. Wenn ich an Unsinnsurteile denke, kommt Deutschland nicht wirklich im Kopf. Aber doch werden ganz viel Unsinsurteile ausgeteilt, scheinbar.

As an American who has been abroad for many years, can confirm! I’m visiting the states at the moment and its crazy to hear a family member talking about trying to convince their boss that the employees should get five paid sick days a year instead of only three. Three! A year! Insane.

Der Juli ist da. Reddit Exodus Thread; Wer behält seinen Account, wer löscht? German

Es ist Mitternacht und passend zum Monatswechsel habe ich alle meine Kommentare editiert, gelöscht und meinen Account entfernt. Nun war es nicht ganz so dramatisch, da ich meinen Hauptaccount bereits vor einem Jahr gelöscht hatte. Dennoch fühlt es sich so an, als ließe man etwas zurück....

My preferred app (RedReader) was allowed to stay,apparently for free, but I still deleted my account. A shame, it was a great app!

But isn't the the employer who is the asshole for not paying a living wage?

kilgore,
@kilgore@feddit.de avatar

In all honesty, I will probably just tip the minimum amount and try not to let it get to me. Its not like I’ll be out eating by myself anyway, there will be plenty of social pressure to help me along :)

But imagine if all jobs worked this way. Oh, you wanted a good outcome for your surgery? Maybe you should have tipped your surgeon! Oh, you wanted your taxes done correctly? Should have tipped! Sorry boss, I would have gotten you that report on time, but you forgot to leave me a tip!

I also think its silly that tips are based on the price of your meal, as if that has anything to do with the service whatsoever. So the person who ordered a steak pays more in a tip than the person who ordered a salad? Why? It would make way more sense to tip based on time spent in the establishment. I would understand a standard 5$ tip per half-hour or something way more.

kilgore,
@kilgore@feddit.de avatar

A tip less than $4.81 means you expect the driver to earn less than minimum wage.

I disagree - it means you expect them to earn a wage regardless of how much you tip. Bosses should pay their workers a living wage, period. DD drivers shouldn't have to rely on the kindness of strangers.

ha ha thanks for this!

kilgore,

One of the best answers so far, thanks! I'm not a foreigner, but I've been gone for over half my life, so it certainly feels like it. Coming back it always a culture shock.

kilgore,
@kilgore@feddit.de avatar

Thanks for this! I'll be in CA, seems like they're getting minimum wage plus tips. At least a step in the right direction towards fair pay.

I feel the same way about big games, and just yesterday I was feeling the same anxiety after the tutorial island in TOTK. I usually feel I need to find every secret and every korok sees etc. But this time I'm trying a new strategy - letting the game lead me. Some NPC says "go do this now", OK I do that and try not to get side tracked. Supposed to visit a certain town next? Then I go there! The game (so far) does seem linear or at least it offers that option*, so when I'm overwhelmed, I follow that line.
