I bought a Rockwell safety razor for 50 euros after using a cheap 20 euro version for a while. The Rockwell is much better. Heavier, better grip and a reversible base plate for different settings. 50 euros should do and still is much cheaper than my cartridges.

PS: wit good prep I have no rasor burn. A cheap brush, warm water and cheap shaving soap. The soap lasts me nearly half a year.

If not for the EIC then watch it for a superb Tom Hardy.

I suppose they have yo deal with a lot of stuff so after a while they just can't differentiate anymore and it's easier to just ban people than. Being considerate takes effort.

This is about 20 years ago. Anyway, the absurdity of the situation still strikes me today. I was reading the newspaper provided by the company and mister manager was angry that I read something he didn't like so he tried to force me into submission.

Contractual and lawful reasons.

You can't be fired without proper cause so when they fire you without proper cause the wil have to keep you on board for a while or choose to pay you out for that amount of time. I was sort of a foreman with a teal of about 20 technicians and I also had to work directly with our customers. They deemed me a liability because I was fired so they chose to pay out.

Same with salesmen. When you fire them without proper cause they want you out of their network as soon as possible and won't take the risk of letting you work with costumers anymore so they just pay out the amount of time that is needed.

He first lade a threat. Then I called his bluff and then he pushed through.

In that way I got my full year off.

The stupid thing was that I was fired for reading a newspaper. I didn't take it up to court because I knew I was getting a full years pay if they fired me that way.

You're Lemmy is different from mine, so it seems. I have no idea what you're talking about.

8-10-12 hours is just unhealthy, so not bad that you can't do that anymore.

I'm 43 and have been gaming since I was 7 years old. These days I play for about 1,5 hours three to four tiles a week. That still is a lot. The less time I spend gaming the more fun I have when I game. It's really about fun.

Sometimes I feel like Arch users are the vegans of Linux. Can't spoil an occasion to mention it ;-)

Spaces will come but I miss them too. Threads are another feather that I miss on Elemen X

Matrix works great. Element X is my favourite client.

I work in a setting where everybody gets the same wage based on their job level and experience. I assume that out office staff has parity between the genders.

The blue collar part of the company is 99% men.
