If the employee’s gross pay works out to less than $7.25/h, then the employer is obligated to make up the difference.
I imagine the result it that any employee demanding the employer to fill the gap is fired because obviously they provide bad service, otherwise they'd get more tips. Right?
It's not a visa but an ESTA. The visa is still granted on the fly on entry.
The U.S. require the same the other way around, only the one granted by the EU is $10 cheaper and valid for 3 years instead of 2, so still U.S. citizens get an advantage
EU citizens (like all other non-immigrants) have to, as far as I understand, disclose all their social media accounts when applying for a US visa
What if applicants participate in multiple online platforms? Are they being asked to list all of their handles, or only one?
Applicants must provide all identifiers used for all listed platforms.
I reached that document via https://www.ustraveldocs.com/de/de-gen-faq.asp#qlistgen21 ("Apply for a U.S. Visa in Germany") and didn't find any hint for exemptions for German citizens or E U citizens, so I assume it applies. (But I might still be wrong.)
Since it's not Twitter anymore, we should replace "tweeting" by "Xcreting". (It's not mine, saw it on Reddit, but I think the idea deserves more exposure!)
Only "they" is actually "us". We voted those clowns into office. We knew (or should have known, the information was available) better at least since the 1970s.
Most religion is incitement to hate-crimes. While I think Sweden has probably bigger Christian societies and should probably rather burn bibles, the guy burning the Quran is an Iraqi, and therefore choosing the Quran is understandable. Afaik, he protested against his own former repression by Muslim religion whe still lived in Iraq.
Religion is notoriously used to reduce other people's freedom. Be it fundamental Christians e.g. in the US or Poland denying healthcare to pregnant women, be it the atrocities committed by the "moral police" in Iran, be it other religions killing people for their sexuality. I support the idea that religious law should be limited to followers of that religion, and no person should be forced in any way to follow or keeps following any religion. Those are fundamental human rights principles in my eyes.
Most religions try to impede the rights even of nonmembers of that religion. That is disrespectful as well. Burn any book or other goods you want, if you want to protest any of my convictions. TuX-puppets, books about string theory, the FSM, my national flag, I don't give a shit as long as you own those things and you don't physically harm others.
We’re going to be the first species to go extinct due to stupidity.
Because we act global. The mechanism isn't new at all, though. We as a species are just as stupid as yeast: Watch a slice of bread mould. It starts with a tiny dot, within a day or two the whole slice is green and the bread already unrecognisable, after a couple of days the yeast will die because there isn't any bread any more.
Currently kinda controversial, but currently it's still Fedora, the xfce4 version.
I had Debian for some time before, but had my apt packages messed up a couple of times to the point I had to entirely re-install. In stable, I was missing sufficiently recent versions, in testing I had other problems.
With Fedora dnf I had less problems recovering, usually more recent versions.
Xfce4 is just more suitable for my needs than Gnome.
Not at all, the old, chunky office printers you get for cheap work even without any special driver or so, just postscript. (You might get better quality for pictures with the original driver, but for simple letters it just works.)
Edit: Where HP really sucks is the consumer market.
I had a Brother printer, the costs were prohibitive. For over a decade now buy discarded office laserjet printers, chunky as hell, but for 100€ you get tens of thousands of pages out of them. And for those 100€, often a duplex unit is included. Am currently on my 2nd printer over 15 years.
I think that's a fundamental problem: A tool like faceit takes freedom from the user away. If it was open source (i.e. modifiable), it could lie in favour of its owner. Since Linux is open source, a good programmer could probably get Linux to lie to the tool to send the wrong data and therefore allow cheating. Controlling the user requires a system the user has no control over :-)
If the LED is more or less on the surface, it works, although I don't like the look much. If the LED is somehow deeper inside, to give an "elegant" shine spread through a bigger area of the casing surface, tape doesn't work well...
The case is waterproof, I'm not sure that's still so once I temper with is.
My other concern is I'm not 100% sure, if LEDs are always on a separate path or maybe part sometimes part of a signal path, i.e. if the LED is removed and that current can't flow anymore, could the device stop working.
I wonder which of those appliances will stop working if I drill into the LED with a micro drill... Tape is good, but not perfect. I have a bluetooth speaker in my bedroom, and of all colours it has to use bright blue LEDs as a power on indicator :-( I have the speaker now in a leather bag at night, which does not exactly improve the sound quality.
He's consolidated the military under the MoD umbrella,
Has he? He lost capable military leaders from Wagner, and those forced to fight alongside Russian troops fight now alongside troops which bombed them before. I hardly imagine there is much trust or comrades between Russian military and Wagner troops.
his comradery with Lukashenko likely improved,
It strengthened Lukashenko.
the West is admitting that Ukraine is running out of ammo (thus the cluster ammunition)
... which has nothing to do with the attempted coup
and he (or rather Lukashenko) has a strong private army close to the Ukrainian border, about 90km from Kiev
It really depends if that army still fights for Putin. The smear-campaign against Prigozhin wouldn't make sense in this scenario.
Putin looks like messing about, trying to make the best of the situation, with no clear plan. He looks weak, and maybe worse, plan-less.

Not yet, but I already elected ultra-capitalist parties to make sure not to stop the exploitation, so I can become the exploiter eventually :-)

Controversial opinion of an atheist:

If we went back to that, I'd probably immediately miss the days when objects in our day-to-day were attainable for one Euro or so :-)

Sounds like "screen"? (I never heard about tmux until today, I work a lot with Linux on a daily base, maintaining servers etc. I use screen a lot.)

Pretty SUS,eh?

How? The whole point of the GPL is that they can't.
