Wow they really went into their stupid useless plan in the most ham-fisted way

Repeated surgical corrections for your ever growing earlobes

Let’s hope they have lots of GILF-hunters

Except Battle for Wesnoth and Pingus.

Maybe OpenRCT and Osu! a little further down the line.

I know, that’s a lot better than many people that have been forced into 5 days a week or similar bullshit

I hope for your sake this isn’t just their first test followed by an escalating series of demands :-/

Ah yes we have some general contracts for whole sectors as well that ususally contain better conditions (called Gesamtarbeitsvertrag GAV).

My workplace, also IT, also gives 180 Swiss Franks a month to help with lunch (much appreciated in Zürich, shit’s expensive). There are some tax rules concerning workplaces either offering cafeterias or lunch subsidies. I believe 180 is the most they can give you before it counts as a separate form of reportable income that needs to be taxed. I think this is common for office jobs, but I also don’t have hard numbers.

There are various exceptions in Switzerland too, I think the weekly maximum if going over your contract is 50h and that can either be paid with 25% extra, or compensated by free time in another week. And then even this maximum can be surpassed by another 2h/d, for a real max of 60h, if there is exceptional work that needs to be done, also paid with 25% extra, or compensated by free time in another week.

It seems a little complicated to me, lukily I haven’t really had to deal with those protections in the law yet, since my workplace is pretty sensible overall.

Ah that’s interesting, thanks.

Here in Switzerland if a shift is longer than 5.5 hours it needs to have at minimum 15min unpaid break for lunch by law. Longer than 7 hours means 30min unpaid lunch and longer than 9 hours means an hour unpaid lunch by law. Additionally if the split is uneaven such that the period before or after lunch is over 5.5 hours, then you recursively get another break following the above rule by law. But these are all unpaid and do not count as hours worked.

The usual reality for typical 8.2 h/d office jobs is that people take half an hour to an hour of lunch, unpaid, and companies allow two 15 min paid coffee breaks, one in the morning, one in the afternoon, despite not being forced to by law.

improperly included GPL code

Shouldn’t that force a GPL release of the rest of the code, at least the bits they had the rights to?

You get paid for lunch? Where is that? We don’t either in Switzerland

Nevermind the world. Even here in Europe in Switzerland the standard is somehow 42 hours a week.

And these days magnet links are everywhere, making it even a little simpler

my tool bag in which I have a wide variety of capability

Somehow that sounds a bit threatening, like Liam Neeson in that one oft-memed scene.

Don’t bring a truck or guns with you. Change some dollars for euros. Remember that the US has an insane tax system that follows you abroad and you still have to file taxes in the US in addition to the country you live in.

Meiwenn has very openly talked about their relationship in interviews & many of the films she has directed incorporate autobiographical aspects.

Her being very open about it is also the impression I got.

she talked about how they knew eachother for about a year before she really fell in love with him and they began dating, which puts her at 13 (12 plus a year of knowing each other).

Okay thank you. It’s unfortunate that these things are so hard to find, but I’ll take your word for it then.

My personal opinion is that they got married after she was already pregnant

This part seems to be firmly established. Every report I saw says marriage at the end of 1992, birth in January.

had likely been intimate for years prior to the marriage at 16. I think the story that he waited until she was 15 comes from the international push back they received after luc became famous and people found out about the relationship.

That sounds plausible.

Thanks for sharing!

Just send the robot instead!

Just to be sure, who created the invite? A German native speaker by chance?

The first page of results when I deliberately google in English “what is a Jour Fixe” are the following:

• Blog entry in English written by someone from a Liechtensteiner Organisation
• Blog entry in English written about the German usage of the Term
• English Wiktionary entry
• German Wikipedia article
• Blog entry in English written by someone from a German Organisation
• Translation website treating it as a German term
• Blog entry in English written by someone from Austria
• Translation website treating it as a German term
• Blog entry in German
• Blog entry in German

Some of that may be personalized to me as a Swiss user of course. But it seems a bit much to be a coincidence. Maybe it is a loan word making its way from German into English now.

Jour Fixe

I don’t think they use that term in English. And even more surprising, they don’t even use it in French. It’s a French loanword that somehow only exists in German.

Including a 15 year old he started seeing when she was 13, who he left when she turned 21.

Some more detail: That’s Maïwenn, born 17. April 1976. They married at the end of 1992, when she was 16 and a half, and in January 1993 at 16 and 9 months of age she gave birth to their daughter Shanna Besson. They then divorced in 1997, apparently because Luc Besson left her for Milla Jovovich who was the lead actress of his film The Fifth Element.

Various articles claim that they met when she was 12 and started dating when she was 15, but none cite the source for their original meeting time or beginning of the relationship, neither do the French or German Wikipedia articles. The English one links to this paywalled article so I can’t verify.

Can I ask where you saw the claim that they started seeing each other when she was 13?
