It’s because they reckon on 8-hour days but then under UK law they have to give you two 15-minute breaks and one 30-minute lunch. So they decide that they don’t like that so you’ve got to work the hours back so they add an extra hour on and then claim that your break times don’t count.

But the problem with that is the only reason that I’m having a break in the town rather than at my house is because of all the other hours I’m doing around it. So really they should be paying for it. Capitalism is going to capitalism.

Well, it’s all Earth.

Is that the ones where they claim it’s remote but really they need you in the office 3 days a week?

I once made the mistake of saying I was willing to relocate, like to a different city or something, and they took that to mean anywhere on the planet. And all the jobs they were asking me about when weird places like Saudi Arabia, and it wasn’t even well paid.

Edit: actually I’m not sure if Iceland included these specific EU rules, so maybe they can actually sell it there?..

Unless the Icelandic government explicitly passes a law to override an EU mandate, then the EU mandate applies in Iceland. It’s a weird setup, as they are not actually in the EU so I’m unclear about why they follow EU mandates at all. I assume it makes trade easier.

It’s hard to see why they would pass a law to override a safety consideration unless there was a grassroots movement to be able to drive cyber trucks.

It’s also fun how massively expensive it is. And their currency makes it feel even more expensive. Want a loaf of bread that’ll be 23,000 krona.

But it’s got hot spring and a surprisingly vibrant nightlife so it’s all worth it.

It’s some kind of hair gel, you don’t eat it.

What brains

Presumably it started in childhood and it hasn’t gotten any better. Even after moving house which is weird.

Pretty sure this image is from Google maps.

It’s not a good method is it? It relies on others not being really stupid

Oh hay Lets just make they reacted paid rise same length render tone, since that is real really easy.

But they hide everything before the @ so how does that help?

I suppose we could just ask whatever AI it is that they’re selling the data to.

I think there’s a term for that but I’m not sure what exactly it is.

An animal’s population is counted as distinct between the wild groups and the groups in reserves and captivity. So I think it’s correct to say that they are endangered in the wild.

Oh well I guess that’s alright then. Move along.

It’s about cognitive load. When you’re driving you want reduced cognitive load so you want things to be as unambiguous as possible.

It’s a difference between reading a shop sign as you drive past as a passenger and reading a shop sign as you drive past as a driver. You’re focusing mostly on the driving so you don’t have extra brain capacity to read the sign.

Same thing here, you are focusing on driving so you don’t have extra brain capacity to work out what the person in front of you is doing. If you’re used to it it’s fine, but if you’re not used to it it’s dangerous.

It isn’t broken though it’s operating as intended. Which is just stupid.

Yeah regardless of what the above guy says I’m pretty positive separate indicators are actually EU mandate that the UK still follows because it turns out most EU laws are actually sensible, who knew.

I thought it was an EU law but maybe not. All indicators have to be separate lights, you can’t flash the brake light like that. It must be a proper indicator light.

So here they have the same basic look for the lights, i.e. the union jack effect, but that LED panels and they kind of pulse in the direction of the indication so it’s much less confusing, they don’t just flash on and off.
