. Proportionately, he uses 13 percent more all-or-nothing terms like “always” and “never” than he did eight years ago, which some experts consider a sign of advancing age.

If you ask me this is a sign of worsening mental health as much as it is just getting older.

Good. Dems should engage hostile media more, Pete Buttigieg gives masterclasses on how to do it. Not everyone can be that good but shining a light in the darkness is important. Ignoring it just lets it fester.

The email continues that UK employees “need to be mindful of the hours they work and are asked to have 11 hours outside of work in each 24-hour period.”

This is an attempt to stay within working time regulations in the UK but they are violating this bit

By law (The Working Time Regulations 1998), employees and workers have the right to the following rest: …. between working weeks – 24 hours every 7 working days or 48 hours every 14 working days

By having a 19 day unbroken run which, as I understand it, is not legal.

In the UK they’re called ‘idents’. You can find a huge collection of UK ones here https://theident.gallery/

My current bugbear with QR codes is that lots of folks have started putting their company logo in the middle of the code.

Sure it still works but it makes the error correction work harder so your users need to be nearer or have better cameras than they would otherwise. Annoying.

Yeah. The thing is that full retail price is hiked up, not the normal price. Side stepping the legislation designed to prevent this kind of behavior.

Not in every instance but for sure it does happen. Some of those ‘non member’ prices are so high as to be laughable.

I wish someone would take a look at ‘Clubcard Prices’ and ‘Nectar Prices’ etc. Ie discounts if you have the loyalty card.

I’m sure they’re just a way to circumvent trading standards legislation about needing to have been on sale at the higher price before starting a sale. Because it’s not a sale is a ‘club price’. The store can show a massive discount when it was never on sale at the undiscounted price anyway.

I wonder how many millions they need to be inspired to update their platform so it doesn’t need a regular outage every Tuesday.
