I cannot provide advice about this specific case. But as a general advice to everyone, unionize before it’s too late. By the time you realize that your boss has been fooling you for one year in a way that will make it harder for you to claim a resolution, it may be too late. Don’t wait for problems to appear, unionize sooner to get advice and prevent things like this from happening in the first place.

I would call this more than just mildly infuriating. Every time there is soccer, a big part of the Internet stops working for me (including my own Netxcloud and Matrix instances, which I am proxing via Cloudflare).

No, the whole IP addresses are being blocked. Which is causing a huge issue for sites hosted in Cloudflare because thousands of sites share the same IP address and, when they find one single infringing site, they block the whole IP address affecting thousands of innocent sites. This has been widely reported by TorrentFreak, you can search there about how this works.

That moment when he says “grab what you want”. Like, you know… I’m actually speechless.

Instead of mildly infuriating, I would call this vicariously embarrassing.

It always happens when a street is made pedestrian-only: the argument that it will reduce sales for small local businesses. I fail to understand how seeing cars drive past your shop is better for sales than people walking around your shop.

3 km sounds like too much to me. I don’t think most people here would walk that far to do their shopping, especially in 30°C heat, mostly because we usually have small supermarkets all around.

I currently walk 500 m to my small neighbourhood supermarket when I just need to buy a few things and I don’t recall ever living further away from some small supermaket. When I am running out of provisions, I take my car and go to a big hypermarket 7 km away. There are other hypermarkets closer by, even within walking distance (2.3 km), but that farther one is the one I like for doing a big shopping.

Of course, distance isn’t the only factor. It’s not the same 500 m in London or Amsterdam which are mostly flat than in the city where I live now, where the 500 m to my supermarket have gradients of up to 15 %.
