This old thing - a Barmah Squashy hate, made from Kangaroo leather. I clearly don't regularly treat it with leather conditioner like they tell you to.
This hat is my constant companion whenever I go camping. We're literally tomorrow leaving for a three week trip through the Outback, so it's about to get a lot of use.
Are you sure? I went looking after I upgraded and I still only have Assist; Scripts; Actions; and Open Page.
Well, that’s probably because he’s hit the cap on base salary. After a certain point in Amazon, the majority of your income at Amazon is derived from shares.
That said, after the signing shares are yours after the first 4-5 years, you’re down to the yearly grants they hand out, which come the year after they were granted, in quarterly amounts.
Also, if your brother is high up, he probably got more shares this year than usual, as Amazon announced that only certain levels and below were getting salary increases. Higher up only got shares.
God, that's bleak
How are they retaining staff?
They retain them for the 4-5 years it takes for signing cash and signing stock units to all run out, at which point many people start to get itchy feet.
Yeah - they call it URA, for "unregretted attrition". Tell me that doesn't sound like a shitty way to manage your people.
You know, at some point, you gotta assume they'll eventually hire and fire/lose all the usable talent they have access to, and shit like this will prevent them finding new talent. Until some exec "invents" WFH as a perk...
Cheers! I certainly hope it will be. We're traveling the Aussie outback - want my wife and daughter to have a whole bunch of life experiences on this trip.
Awesome. Literally about to leave for a three week caravan trip. This will make a nice addition to the playlist for those relaxing arvos around the campfire.
A lot less VCDs and MP3s downloaded from FTP servers and BBSes.
Not sure if I’d bring it back, but I sure do miss the fun of playing Quake against my mates on public servers.
IMO, this is yet another government initiative that's turning out to be an absolute joke.
My 9yo daughter has been hounding our household to not throw our 10c deposit containers into the council bin. Instead, she wants to collect them and cash them in using the CDS Vic scheme. As she puts it, we get money AND the containers get recycled properly, rather than what happens with our commingled recycling bin.
The problem is, every time I go to one of the reverse vending machines in my area, they're out of order, or there's only one receiver working, with about six people in line, all with several bags or boxes each.
Then the CDS Vic app itself says the same operator is running an over the counter collection at our local netball club, but someone was dreaming when they put that into the app. I've never seen anyone collecting recycling there, and I drive past it at least twice daily.
The operator in our area (Return-It) should lose their contract for being fucking useless.
This has been going on for so long now, that I'm now holding an estimated 400-600 bottles and cans, which my daughter is begging me to not toss out, so we can get rid of them "the right way".
I'm all for doing the right thing, and making sure recyclables are, well, recycled properly, but when the personal inconvenience level is so high, all it does is cost more taxpayer dollars without moving the needle on our recycling performance.

Can't even take a short break from 3D designing stuff. Glad I'm switching over to FreeCAD. All I wanted was to grab some dimensions from an old model.
This is ridiculous. It is truly ridiculous. How can something that enables the user to efficiently control their AC cause “significant economic harm”???
We're discussing this over in [email protected]. This absolutely has to be about them losing access to data they can sell to 3rd parties. The hOn ToS will no doubt have a clause that enables this.
It's a dick move for sure.
Ah, no worries mate. Almost got excited for a minute there.
