Actually "refusing to work overtime is considered to be a strike" is certainly not boring from my point of view. I would have expected it to go the other way, i.e. "refusing to work overtime is not considered to be a strike&q

Just to be clear, I don't pass any judgement about forcing overtime / forbidding strikes. I also think those are bad practices, and I'm pretty sure both are not legal in my country (in which most labor advances were a hard-wo

What's crazy when you read the company memo and the collective bargaining agreement (both linked in the article) is how the company has done a horrible job at wording the memo, that has been picked up by the news. If I understand that

Isn't it already the case? A brand new C1 is about 12K€. That's not even twice the price of an electrified cargo bike (I saw about 7/8K€ floated around the other day). And if you go for used, you can get cars in good enough s

It's worth noting that 2006 and 2011 for diesel are not random numbers: they match Crit'Air 3. Incidentally, any vehicle on Crit'Air 3 will become restricted in about a year (July 1th 2023) in low-emission zones (most big cit

The silliness of letting kids ride powerful e-bikes unsupervised as been well debated already. I'll just add that speed (20mph or about 32km/h) would actually classify that e-bike as a motorcycle on the other side of the pond (the

I'm surprised the popping sound doesn't surface much more than that. I recently bought a 2021 M1 Macbook Pro (so a 2K€+ machine) and this popping sound I get when I use the built-in speakers is awful. After Googling around, it see

1. Indeed, there were serious trials before those were made available and prescribed. Those trials have to demonstrate that the medicine is better than placebo effect. I personally don't like to hand-wave away those trials to "big

The game is a one-shot purchase though, and Steam doesn't offer a per-platform pricing. It doesn't look like a game where micro-transactions would work either.

I can confirm first-hand that it's the main noise pollution source there. As I stated in a sibling thread, 3 of the 4 sources I cited come from motorized vehicles: mopeds, general ICE noise, honking (in that order). This is better expl

Do you litter your entire house or allow others to do so? How you deal with it is make it explicit that memes (or at least off-topic memes) are not allowed (and even excessive usage of on-topic meme is frowned upon), heavily enforce that ru

That differs from country to country. In France, pedelecs (pedal-assist, assist is capped to 25km/h) are allowed on bike lanes, but speed bikes (not limited to 25km/h, they can reach the same speed as cars in cities, often 50km&#x
