I think this is outstanding. Employees should have regularity of the time their work starts and ends so they can have proper work-life balance. Regular overtime is absolutely draining over the long term. I've had terrible managers that couldn't organize themselves properly and almost always invariably forced employees into crunch time. Eventually, critical life tasks, like exercising, sleep and family time are what takes the main toll, regardless of increased compensation. We can't just throw money at people to compensate destroying their balance and call that a functional model. Managers need to learn how to make due with the resources and time constraints they have.

It's particularly jarring in white collar, project based teams, that don't have fixed tasks from the get go and it depends on how the current project is going.

I oncelived where there very old houses on one side of town.

Wrap-around porches shaded the ground floor. Basement stayed cool even in hottest summers and canned foods were stored there.

I've seen homes that were not that old, and built to rent. No overhang/shade, no basement, no insulation, no garage

Don't even need to take PrEP daily, on demand is fine: 2 pills at once 2-4, or up to 24, hours before sex/needle use, then one after 24 hours and another after another 24 hours (48 total)

That's it

Oh and generic PrEP from India is like $50/30 pills and works just as well

Wait this is a different cat?

Someone needs to make a cat specific tourism list, like visit this cat, that statue cat, the cat museum in Amsterdam, the cat island and cat train station in Japan, etc.

Polish mountain

😘

That cat was in israel actually!

It is a moral exaggeration, but you don't need beef, and you don't need slaves. What nuance are you talking about.

He has since died, but don't worry a statue of him was placed in the spot so you can still visit his likeness.

As opposed to Wall Street fat cats which have a 0 out of 5 star rating.

Damn I wish I could afford to heat or cool my house in this economy. Got quoted for 5k for a new heat pump a few years ago. I know that's cheap but damn. $400 electric bills are keeping me under. Either that or go cold right now

... What?

This is exactly what I needed to brighten my day 🌞

Well me must certainly be a good boy then.

Everywhere I rented apartments in Arizona came with a heat pump that I had to pay the electric for, landlords didn't profit directly.

So if a California power company buys power from a coal power plant in Utah you equate that to say that California exports pollution. Amazing!

Surely the Utah power plant has a choice to generate power from other sources no?

Don’t worry that deal won’t go on for long, along with the money and jobs. California has a 100% renewable power mandate so it will be phased out. They have been adding a ton of power storage projects to manage the intermittency of renewable power

It's a bit of renter's vs landlord market as well.

If the available renter has a budget of 1500$ for rent and utilities, you bet the landlord has an interest in efficient appliances so he can charge a higher percentage of those 1500$.

Now, if the renters have to be happy to find a place at all, it doesn't matter that much unfortunately...

We needed a new AC and then were told about this option, since we have solar now it makes perfect sense. Also, the Feds and our Local government are providing rebates, so win win!

We're seeing a major industrial boom here in northern Sweden thanks to this, as well as several other kinds of manufacturing facilities being built to use our cheap green power.

... Of course, with demand set to spike on account of major manufacturing, the "cheap" part will soon be a memory... But if that's the price we pay for reducing climate change, it's a bargain no matter how much I'll miss the teeny-tiny power bill...

The article mentions that the founder (a woman) couldn't find enough time to spend with her kids during Covid due to work pressures and came up with this policy.

But about your point, caution such as your stepbrother mentioned is common in lots of parts of the world with crime problems. I was in California for some time and when I got there I was shocked to be told by my neighbors that I shouldn't walk around outside the apartment building after 9pm, even as a guy (but driving and even biking was ok). The Citizen app gave ample evidence of why. Earlier, during my college years (also in US but in the midwest), the school pretty much said female students should avoid walking lone outside campus after 10pm and offered a hotline that would bring a male guardian to walk anyone home. I found out later that college towns in the US are notoriously crime-prone as there are lots of distracted, innocent kids walking around for criminals to prey on – they even come in from other cities for the opportunity. This doesn't apply to everywhere in the US of course.
