To explain for those not in Canada… It is usual in Canada for a job to start with a low level of PTO an then add a week every few years that you stay with the company. This usually is capped at 6 weeks.

You can, of course negotiate an amount of PTO when you accept a job. Someone coming into a more senior position wouldn’t expect to start with just two weeks of PTO.

I just assumed it was a reference to Klaus Barbie. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Klaus_Barbie?wprov=sfla1

there will be serious sand in the gears of global commerce for the foreseeable future.

Or will there? Certainly, serious issues for US trade, but the rest of us can trade with each other just fine. We’re already seeing that start to happen.

I cannot express adequately how different blades are from each other. Some are smoother than others, some are sharper and some improve after a few uses. Some last longer.

I have fairly fine whiskers, so I don’t need a crazy sharp blade like Feather. My skin is also a bit sensitive, so a smooth blade is best.

For me Big Ben, blades made by Lord in Egypt are really good. One of the versions of Shark, also made by Lord are pretty good too.

I find Wilkenson Sword blades to be horribly scratchy, and the name for some of the Gillette blades. Voskhod aren’t bad, except they are Russian.

You don’t realize how different they are until you try.

Religion. Ruins. Everything. Every. Time.

Blades vary greatly between brands. Get a sampler pack from eBay to find ones you like. Then buy them in bulk. 100 blades will generally cost from $8-$14, depending on the brand. Some, like Feather, are more expensive.

We’ll, the article was about the jobs maintaining the robots, not humans building stuff in factories.

Wait til the OP learns about the Easy Bake Oven.
