If you use KoReader, you can use Wallabag for the same purpose.

They're the easel from the first frame, shoved up his ass.

And there is not a single thing here I can recognize

Czechia. I get 20 days off mandated from the state, plus some (12-ish?) public holidays, plus every day I donate blood (that's up to 5 days a year).

My job gives me 5 extra vacation days, and when I'm on sick leave, pays me the full 100 % of my salary.

I take vacations for as long as I need :) But mostly I try to chip away at my supply with one- or two-day vacations, usually around weekends and/or combined with public holidays. I am obligated to take vacation at the end of the year, and I always take 3-4 days for a yearly local metal festival.

Why can't it be neither? Being wet or dry is a property of solids, or maybe gasses (where you'd say "humid" rather than "wet"). It doesn't make sense as a qualifier of water itself.

I used to hate the Android vs Apple drama vis à vis romantic partner choice, but then I realized that it's in itself a great filter of people I don't want in my life

I love diversity in the ND community! 🙂

Is your workplace bustling?

Not really, it's actually pretty quiet even though it's open space. But I am at my most productive when I have my headphones on and I listen either to instrumental music (post-rock or post-metal works great) or rainycafe.com

Add another one person to the list. I am a software engineer, I have ADHD and I go to the office 3 days of the week instead of the mandated 1 day. It's just much easier for my brain to focus when I'm in a work environment than at home. Part of it might be how my working space at home is set up, but at home, I have never matched my productivity at the office. Plus, commuting to work is a large majority of my outside time and social time. I touch grass and attend social events relatively rarely and I know I need to work on that, but the fact remains that commuting to work is good for my sanity.

EDIT: Regardless, I understand why people don't want to commute to the office and when given the opportunity, I will always advocate for people's right to choose one, the other, or anything in between.

I didn't click through into the article, but while the achievement is huge, it is not as much a success story as this post makes it seem and the fight is far from over. Babiš is still in the Parliament, he's been in opposition, but the current (neoliberalism-friendly, status quo friendly) government is not very popular and Babiš's party is projected to win the next elections based on polls. He still has about 25-30 % of die-hard voters and other parties are fragmented and disjointed. I fear that he might be able to assemble a government with Communists (who have already quietly tolerated him in a previous government) and right-wing populists...

Thinking about it now, I think a US-like scenario is quite likely--a first term of madness, oligarchy and corruption, then a brief one-term respite which does not address the systemic issues that got us the first term in the first place, and then another return to the madness. Though I've also heard speculation that seeing Trump's antics in the second term is what might make people here less likely to vote for Babiš.
