Who really want to be called an uasian? They can not pronounce Uranus properly, the planet. Same word for an ancient god. No wonder they are god forsaken if they can not speak/utter their names...
By law it is 24 days (work days, but based on a 6 day wok week, means it is something like 2,5 days per work month... did not research it perfectly) in Germany. However I never heard about an employer offering less than 30 days (because the longest school holidays in summer are 30 days, and many vacation laws are obsolet because of contracts with the trade unions)
There is no Europe wide law about vacations. In France the minimum is e.g. 30 days.
I guess in the UK they have no right for vacations... that is why they riot during soccer games I guess (just kidding, surprisingly they have the second most vacation days. In UK the minimum is 28 days.)
Unfortunately googeling gives no good results as newspapers mix up laws with trade union agreements and "how it is lived".
Less than something around 45 days in France is unthinkable. First of all, the before mentioned summer holidays, are already 6 weeks, and of course they have easter and winter holidays, too.
On the other hand, obviously a burger flipper wont get 45 days vacation.
I have no idea about the situation in PR particular. However I doubt privatizing the power company will change much. (That was the reason for my post)
One part of the problem basically is, that much of the infrastructure that is over ground should be under ground. They should have switched away from oil long ago. To volatile, to expensive, to dirty.
In a sim city world you would switch to renewables as quickly as you can... does not really matter if you have no power during a hurricane because there is to much wind and no sun, or because your power cables are ripped away and transformers are under water.
Anyway, to be on the safe side you have to burry the cables and make the transformers water proof.
PR is a developing country... that is the main problem. They don't know or have no plan how to put their resources to an effective use. Same like rest of the US... well, technically they are not really a part of the US:
There are no particular reason to take such routes (Germany to Chile), and a container ship is not going 15-20 knots but about 25. You are mixing them up with oil tankers.
Anyways, both of your numbers are below "a month" and far below "months" (note the s).
To find a route that takes "about a month" you need to be particularly picky.
Iran is since 45 years at the brink to a civil war.
Sorry, your american propaganda does not cut it.
What fucking deal should Obama make with a country he basically was at war with? Sorry, that are completely retarded ideas.
The "high priest" caste is suppressing the population, and they want to be free. There are protest every single day, thousands of people are in prison because of political reasons.
Do you really think that young people, that kiss in the park at the campus, and get put into jail for that, have voted for the regime and are happy about it?
In what strange world do you live?
And to answer your question: I know dozens of Persian people who left when ever they could. But we don't talk about politics in their country, why would we? They are happy that they don't have to talk about that anymore.
If your entire knowledge of Iran comes from protesters, you're not getting the whole story. I live in a country where we have news. And when I was about 5 my mother, the only thing she did good, taught me to read books!
My neighbouring country is France, where "they" have even more news. And then again we have BBC, a broadcast station from UK, which gives us more new and more news. We european usually know what is going on in the world... if we want to, at least.
You probably don't even know that the Shah was disposed by the CIA and that the current regime is a result of that... sad sad sad.
Here we have close to 30 days by law. Most people have 32 to 35 days.
I personally would not go below 90 days... but that is not fully vacation, half of it is sports the majourity of the rest is studying new stuff, mostly project related.
The USA is a place completely out of question for working as a European (unless you want to do rocket science, work for Intel or Apple etc.)
I can not "relax" at a wok place, even if we would run on "low demand", and I should be present, I would always be kind of "high alert". Other people just sit at their workplace and are half asleep, nothing for me.
Transparent aluminum, also known as aluminIum oxynitride, is a transparent polycrystalline ceramic with a cubic spinel crystal structure made of nitrogen, oxygen and aluminIum.
I guess you can use every low atom wight metal to make a 'glass'...
Well, if you would realize that a year has 365/366 days. And that your claim would imply over 360 sunken ships per year, you would realize how implausible (actually retarded) your idea is. I doubt on the whole planet we manage to have so many sunken ships. A big ship sinks about every five years, probably even less frequent, and that usually makes world wide news.
Toyota, Audi (obviously all VW brands), Mercedes, BMW have self driving cars since decades. And they work perfectly fine... (and no, they don't use ANN or proclaimed 'AI').
You are correct. Most ships already drive 90%/95% of the time fully automatic. Basically every sailing yacht has an autopilot. Only in/close to harbours and on high traffic lanes the skipper and/or helmsman is running the ship. And: a pilot is not what you think it is. Plenty of routes have a pilot requirement, a guy with special education/knowledge of the local waters. It is unlikely that he would run the ship on autopilot.
I had a Win 95 PC, it was the first 'useable' Windows. But it was in no way better than a Mac, hint: Y2K problems, no working internationalization, short file names (in the GUI looking long, but cut off on disk)
It was much easier and faster for me to leave class, go to my dorm, do my assignment on my $800 PC, print everything out, and walk back to class than to do the work in the lab on a brand new $5,000 Mac. That does not make any sense. Why would working on a PC be faster? My first PC bought 1993 costed $5000 (actuall DM 13,000)... not $800, I doubt you got even the simplest computer for $800 at that time, the monitor alone for my PC that time was nearly 3 times the price. Heck, the hard disk costed more than $800!
All Macs that time where 68k based. A/UX ran on all Macs. And the bigger ones had 68030 and 68040 processors, far far far superior to an 80286 or 80683... the never really was a Windows PC compareable with a Mac, still not now.
Slashdot Mirror
A contractor can not unionize ... how should that be possible?
Well,
they tried to introduce "sick days" here about 10 years ago. I think it was 3 sick days.
They miserably failed.
If you are sick, you are sick. If your child is sick and you need to take days off: you take days off. End of story.
Obviously: full payed. Obviously not obvious for american anti socialism morons.

The parent was talking about Chinese ships only.
And someone answered to my my post and pointed out that world wide ship loss is in the range of 50 per year (plus ships on rivers etc.)

That time includes several port stops

There is no transparent Aluminium.

As long as it is not forbidden by law, it is legit.
Get a damn clue.
Amazon prime is probably only interesting if you use their video on demand services.
But they have motherships, speed boats, bazookas and automatic weapons.
The navigation gear can not report a false position, as AIS etc. is picked up from orbit via sattelites ...

There are no month long voyages anymore since about 100 years ... just saying.
Well, we have some 'green cargo sailing companies' that use sailing ships and run classical routes ...
You are correct.
Most ships already drive 90%/95% of the time fully automatic. Basically every sailing yacht has an autopilot.
Only in/close to harbours and on high traffic lanes the skipper and/or helmsman is running the ship.

I never had one. :)
Half my friends had Amigas, the others Ataris. And like 4 or 5 Macs.
I miss the Midi Maze parties on Ataris

But the average Joes of Iran really like their Islamic government.
No they don't.
How ignorant and actually stupid are you?
I don't know what kind of debts they have. ...
I only see the $9B and the outrage
As they are government owned or more precisely "state owned" their debts are completely irrelevant.
