the wikipedia take:

But it works well for public opinion, which is what politicians care about most, unfortunately

I see thanks, tbh my car is pretty crappy but if the uphill is too steep I will back up a little without handbrake and the guy behind me wont be happy :D

I’m curious, how do u do it? I mean you need a foot on gas and one on the clutch to start, how do you keep your car still without handbrake (other than just being quick after moving away from the brake)?

I agree with you, and yeah the convenience factor is in fact a huge problem and is highly exploited. The only thing I saw working are in fact laws to make the switch to another “service” more convenient (e.g. you have a messaging app? your protocol must be open source so that other clients should be possible by law, idk how feasible is this, but u get the idea).

In Italy it’s required by your contract, but you no longer need HR fortunately, there’s a dedicated website, and yes employer notice MUST be the same as the employee one…

If you throw it in just before it’s boiling yes, you will see the water bubble up for a moment for the reason you said… once dissolved if anything at those amounts, it raises the boiling temp a little
