I got my first extra hour the day after I was born.

Edit: I was wrong, it turns out there was no DST in my country when I was born. So I definitely banked it.

Looking up the article the baseline is French and English I’d say. So it might be biased, but I didn’t read the article and even if I did, I’m a chemical engineer so what do I know of this field.

LOL. Also, it wouldn’t be my ass since I’m the donut stacker.

Calorie restriction is not the same as not eating.

Depends on the thickness of the donut and the butt cheeks. So probably less than one.

I’d rather not stop eating…

Depends on your definition, but most foods are healthier than not eating.

I don’t think I’ve ever owned any version of Windows.

Was zur Hölle ist los mit deine Buchstabierung?

I read earlier “someone” were a couple of college students.

Thanks

Yikes!

I get the hate for Comic Sans, but lets face it, 2004 is a long time ago. Also, this is a comic…

I actually get the graph that way.

Here you go!

I live in the Netherlands, and fired for cause is very hard over here. Basically the employer needs solid evidence of misbehaviour, and even then most judges will still rule in favour of the employee.

Three months would be excessive in the Netherlands. The legal minimum is one calendar month. When you resign you can always negotiate to shorten the period, but most of the time people will work the remainder of the contract. Also, your new employer might actually think there is something wrong if you can quit your current job faster than the one month.

How I’ve learned it is, that cognitive dissonance arises when one of your beliefs or behaviours is challenged by new information. This can make you uncomfortable, and to alleviate that, people have coping mechanisms. It’s probably these coping mechanisms which cause other people to say you suffer from cognitive dissonance. There’s a quite good Wikipedia article on this imo.

Haarlem is not a suburb but it’s own city, it is actually the capital of the North-Holland province.

That article literally says the other one is what New Zealand is named after.
