I tried to sign it but I forgot that the UK isn't in the EU anymore ๐Ÿ˜ž

Full time where I work is 37 hours a week with a 5 hour Friday. I've asked for a 4 day week by splitting those 5 hours over the other 4 days but have been refused. This seems to be about giving workers the right to request this arrangement, it shouldn't force anyone to do it if they are happier sticking with their current 5 day week.

Are the drugs provided?

It only takes one person to fuck it up. I agree it's stupid, but introducing a conflicting standard increases the chances of someone fucking it up in the name of progressiveness. Needless to say I killed off the main branch that someone one had tried to make to replace the master branch.

It's all good and well until you start working in a repo that has both master and main branches for some reason, and it is not clear which is actually the master/main branch.

Yeah it looks silly, but haven't they just done what is actually required of them? The local highways authority is responsible for maintaining road markings and they clearly have failed to do so judging from the part of the road that was not dug up

This sort of thing works for me, I think the key is instead of trying to quiet your mind, if you instead keep it busy with something mundane or relaxing until it just switches off. Sometimes I pick numbers and do multiplication in my head, and eventually I'm close enough to falling asleep that I forget the two numbers I'm multiplying and at that point I stop and fall asleep within minutes.

What is the alternative? Piracy?

Anyone who actually needs the winter fuel payment will still get it - people who get pension credits for example. There are many pensioners getting winter fuel payments that are plenty well off and do not need the free cash, my Grandma is one of them. She will make a fuss about how she needs it but she is by far the most well off in our family.

Belgian, so I'm surprised they were sensible enough to wear any kind of footwear

Central funding for further education has been cut massively since tuition fees were increased, so they have had an overall reduction in income from teaching
