A kid not being in school when they're supposed to be can be indicative of family problems, such as abuse. Obviously one day off because the child is unwell is not a concern, but schools generally track attendance, and if they notice a pattern they will notify the family to figure out what's going on. I'm sure requirements for doctors notes and procedures vary by school and by country, but generally what I've seen is that missing one day just on the parents word is fine, but if the child is off for a week or more the school will want to know what justifies it. The school nurse can handle sensitive medical information for that purpose.

Fishstick posted:Doctors notes are pretty standard in Belgium, even for 1 day of absence. Then again, a doctor's visit is around 26eur (of which you get ~18 back), is easy to do same-day, and guarantees your normal days' wage will be paid for the duration. Put your umbrella away, my European friend. It is not distant thunder you hear rolling, it's the sound of the Americans' jaws collectively hitting the floor.

France has a backwards job creation policy that hinges on showering companies in tax breaks so they'll hire temp workers to unload the gravy train. It has nothing to do with unions. Germany has state sponsored training programs for in-demand skills, as far as I understand it. Who could have foreseen that training and forming workers to perform the tasks that the county needs done works better than giving the rich more money? Edit: poo poo, this isn't the thread I thought it was, sorry about adding to the derail.

steinrokkan posted:It|s more interesting to know why somebody is the culprit than who is the culprit. E.g. the good murder mysteries are about exploring the characters and interweaving their motivations - somebody who already knows who ends up guilty still doesn't know the process that leads to their apprehension.  Columbo was a really good show.

A friend's cat has a shoe fetish, but he'll go after everyone's shoes as long as they're leather and left unattended and he isn't aggressive about it. Barudak seems to inspire seething hatred in every cat he meets. My money is on the werewolf theory.

If he’s the guy I’m thinking of he was featured on the radio show This American Life. He had an entire episode devoted to him, then a second one dedicated to the retraction of the story.

Bits are the ones and zeroes in your computer. When you watch an ad it’s not exactly 30s long because computers count time in binary so there are some dangling bits at the end of the ad. You collect them and then you give them to the streamer so they can put them at the end of their video to continue streaming.

Not gonna knock them for that, because I’d be hard pressed to figure out what the British (or any other) army could want in the “snowflake” demographic. “We need your unshakable sense of entitlement” would have sounded even dumber so

I just thought it meant that if you order on their fake menu for pickup they place your order on the real site and charge you a 20% “convenience fee”. You pay them an inflated rate, they pay the restaurant the regular rate, and they pocket the difference, like any good middleman.

Who even gives a gently caress about this poo poo? We’re back in early September 2001, when stupid people could be dragged out of their deserved obscurity one day because the media was bored and suddenly be famous for being famous. We need a new 9/11 is what I’m saying.

I don’t know, it makes sense to me. $11 will get you a slice of pizza, which toppings is up to your personal preference. At these prices, you’re not paying for the cost of the food, you’re paying to eat in a venue you can’t exit easily to get food elsewhere. See also airports, movie theaters.
