Sorry maybe I wasn’t clear. I meant that sometimes hospital have a policy to not let you in to see or stay with your significant other if you are not a family member. If you are not married you are not family so they could refuse you seeing your partner in some situations.

Think hospital: “Sorry, family only”. Do it before you need it.

I’ve done Halloween for the first time in the uk with my 2 year old, and we passed a few lightly decorated doors (apartment block). Most other flats had a bowl of candy outside and is this one not having it, we were not sure if we could knock or not. I found myself thinking that they were out or didn’t want to be bothered. It has become very unclear. I think next year even if I’m at home (before we go trick or treating) I will put a sign on the door if I want them to knock, so I make it clear to all.

Wouldn’t the hidden text appear when highlighted to copy though? And then also appear when you paste in ChatGPT because it removes formatting?

A 12 year old drew a recognizable picture of another 12 year old? Doubt it.

In case you missed the markings on it, it’s also free and runs on electricity, which in France is low carbon.

His parts are covered. Even so, what is the issue with nudity? This is a global event, in many parts of the world people are not as prude as occidentals. Some go naked to public baths, or beaches.

I live in Greater London and I’m right past a busy street going straight in London. I see a good number of electric vehicles but it’s nowhere near 70%. Do you remember where you read that? I’m curious to check the rate of progress. (I would love for my street to be quieter)

Solar is getting so cheap Poland will end up buying its electricity from its neighbours. Coal plants are destined to shut down. I’m pro union but they’d better advocate for reconversion rather than digging a hole for themselves.

I joined a union, but aside for legal help, they’re probably not ever gonna be of other help in my case. I work for a big international company (~5000 worldwide) and there’s only about 10 of us in the uk. Collective bargaining is going to get us nothing but fired. That’s assuming I can convince my 9 colleagues to do so, which is less than likely. In general I think it’s tough to get anything out of a union in international companies.
