I'd love to see it the Americans follow up once Tesla has unionised in Europe.

I'd also love to see what Tesla would've done without a stubborn idiot as CEO. Maybe it's time for the shareholders to take another look at the supermajority voting that Musk is abusing to run the company down.

It's scrambled eggs in a bag.

They're used in hotel restaurants, canteens, cafeteries etc. for making a uniform product when serving many people in a buffet.

It's alright, I guess. Eggs are great for this kind of product.

It would be nice to save the plastic bag and just make actual scrambled eggs, which is about as difficult as opening the bag anyway. However in kitchens like in hotels where the staff is new every month, it's an easy way to keep that dish from fucking up.

I was once at a 4 star hotel where a chef would cook each dish of scrambled eggs individually for each guest from a selection of additional ingredients and spices. Sure it was a luxury experience, but I could as well have eaten the bagged eggs and added some stuff myself if I actually needed mushrooms and peppers etc.

I've had Opel, Renault, Peugeot, VW, Skoda, Mazda, Suzuki.

None of them were worse than 7 L/100km. Pretty much all modern cars go at 5 L/100km unless you get something with a larger engine.

Never had a hybrid.

I grew up with km/L.

I don't mind using whatever scale, but it's somewhat better for comparing the numbers that cars actually use, because with l/100km every car is five something or six something.

Also the higher numbers are better like everything else on the car comparison cards.

The payback happened through a fund, where victims could apply, I suppose.

The sentence was to pay back 17 billion and 150 years in prison, so it was inevitable that he'd die in prison. The losses were estimated to be 18 billion, so he got off one billion short in that regard.

However, he paid another heavy price. Both sons died before him. One of them off'ed himsel on the anniversary of his father's arrest.

(To be honest, I just googled all of that. I've never heard any details on this case before because I live on the opposite side of the globe.)

It's the same quote in all the stories on this. The key being "at some point", meaning that he probably just noticed that the stock was running low one week and bought the remaining 8 to resell.

However if it really was an ongoing scheme, he could also have bought them from other prisoners and resold at a higher price than he offered them. Basically asking someone who doesn't buy their own quota of chocolate to buy it for him. If chocolate cost 10$ and he's offering 11$ to someone getting it for him they'll gladly carry the entire stock to him, so that the people actually needing chocolate would have to buy it from him for 12$.

The prison could easily stop this by increasing the stock if they knew it was going on at all.

Anyway it's not ongoing. He died some years ago.

Yes that's also very common, but that's a little more complicated. It's only an option for people who have had the same job for more than a year and for those who agree on settling the entire holiday pay in June even if they don't actually go on holiday then. It varies how people do it.

Unlike Norway, most EU countries tax the holiday on accrual so it's always without a deduction when paid out regardless of when. Norway taxes it in the payment year though it is spread over the other months.

There are pros and cons to both ways. Personally I think that EU has the better one, not because of the taxation but because it's not necessary to accrue holiday in advance.

Something funny I've seen is that in Norway it's customary to distribute the income tax deduction over 11.5 months instead of 12, so that in November or December people only get deducted half the regular tax on their payslip. This is done to ensure that everyone has money for Christmas. It's so dumb and beautiful that I can't help but love the idea.

I think it's a size thing. At some point it just doesn't make sense to put in a lowered ceiling, because it costs a lot of money for no purpose and still looks like shit. Large stores in Europe also have visible airducts and supports etc.

Also, some malls have rules for what tenants are allowed to do with it, either for safety reasons (water sprinklers/fire alarms) or just because they don't want to repaint or remove whatever the tenant did with it before they went bankrupt.

Okay. I read he article and read (some of) the source, but I still have to ask: What is "News" in this context?

Leading me to think about what even "News" is, and in particular what is "News" to the people who answered this, and does that kind of opinion on "News" disqualify them from having an opinion on "News" in the general sense?
