  I don’t think my thought processes are garbage. They at least have evolved past the mistakes most people here do.

  Anyway, you haven’t provided any argumentation, just came here and started throwing feces. I don’t argue with monkeys, at least not after I fully realize I’m talking to one.

  I didn’t consider overtime. Just what the title says - 32hr week with the same pay as 40hr week with all other things unchanged.

  With this interpretation - yeah, but then Bernie’s mention of “no loss in pay” doesn’t make sense, it happens automatically.

  I’ve been responsible for some relatively important things from time to time, and that’s just as likely to happen in future.

  While your reply is not very convincing and recursively makes me think I’d not entrust to you anything I really want done in a satisfactory way at least.

  Yes, with 4 days, 8 hours the idea is what you described.

  With 5 days, 7 hours the idea is that you don’t work effectively anyway in the last 1-2 hours, not doing many useful things, adding to depression and also obviously still using that time, so it’s better to get some rest or social activity or take a walk instead.

  Well, jobs are different. It’s just that sometimes you get too tired to do anything effectively an hour or two before your work technically ends.

  32hr week is fine, but what does he mean by no loss in pay?

  The mandated work week is something a central regulator controls, and the pay is not.

  The drop in productivity because of working 32hrs instead of 40hrs will be much less than 20%, that’s for sure. Maybe there’ll be no drop at all. That doesn’t always translate to no drop in pay.

  If by 32hrs we mean 4 days, then it frees that day for other workers (if we imagine any job with a physical workplace). The pay is a result of the balance of interests. It will become less.

  And personally I’d say 35hr week is a better idea - as in 5 days of 7hrs .

  MacOS has userland tools from some FreeBSD version (quite obsolete, IIRC). Also there’s a port of bhyve called xhyve for MacOS. Its kernel I wouldn’t expect to have much in common with BSDs.

  I mean, real life recommendations are more often than not that too. I mean, ones you get asking friends.

  Well, it’s kinda depressing when you conclude no particular task for a day, yet still feel boiled due to tired eyes, headache etc.
