  I have no words for this. I’m… That’s… It’s just… Wow.

  They do here.

  If you fire someone just for getting sick, you can expect the union to sue you. They have really good lawyers. Your best option is to settle out of court. And now you are not popular with the union, giving you less leeway in the next case.

  It just easier and cheaper to do the right thing, which includes documentation of how you did your best to make it work.

  The employer isn’t required to let sick people be sick?? Or are they only required to grant unpaid sick leave?

  This is hard for me to wrap my head around. Here, if a new employee gets sick within the first 8 weeks, the employer can get the pay partially refunded. But the employer must always pay in full during sick leave.

  Number of features that is has? Sure.

  Number of features that I need? Google Sheets wins.

  As I use Excel at work, I’d be happy if you prove me wrong here. Just yesterday I needed to do a simple search/replace with regular expressions. My solution was to copy the data to Google Sheets.

  I spent some time looking into this, getting nowhere. What’s your favorite library that actually works for you?

  Seemingly. 🙂

  My ISP only has symmetric. The cheapest one they advertise costs about 10 Big Macs per month.

  I can’t speed test my connection as my wifi is the bottleneck. But the way our law is, they can’t really lie about speed. The “up to” trick was banned a long time ago.

  if you would just live your life I don’t think you would call it a disorder, more like a different way of processing tasks

  The more I learn about ADHD, the less I see it as a disorder. I see it more as a personality trait. Unfortunately most of our society is based on people not having that personality trait, making it harder to fit in.

  On the other hand, if you’re lucky enough to find a lifestyle that fits your personality type, that personality type is actually very helpful, the opposite of a disorder.
