During a bad day the bosses mom asked me why I wasn’t my usual chipper self. I said if you want me to smile all day every day I need paid more. Then the boss yanged at me “why are you telling mother you want paid more?!?” and I told him, because I want paid more.
Boeing is for sure a shit show and terribly managed, but I don’t think they would blatantly kill guys like that. I think it’s far more likely that the first guy did kill himself because he figured everybody would think Boeing whacked him and that would do far more damage to the company than his testimony would. Now any news...
I don’t know if others are experiencing a similar situation. My all feed is very sparse with engagement. If I sort top six hours or by top 12 most posts have between 5-10 comments. I feel like there was more in the past? Is engagement dropping off? I’m on lemmy.world as my instance.
Lemmy has way, way too much dross. Any user that pops in to check it out finds a billion foreign language posts, a billion weirdo anime shitposts and a billion Linux posts. It’s a massive turnoff. I spent 6 months blocking communities that had zero interest to me and I’m left with news and Star Trek posts. I don’t even like Star Trek but it’s the only OC in this place.
This is kinda stupid, and just for “culture” but I sometimes see women wearing overall or jumpsuit are fashion accessories, but when male do so it’s professional clothe (and sometimes sport clothe)....
rebuilding it will actually not be expensive because (some insane shit nobody has ever done before). Elon Musk got in on this one!
Let me guess, they’re going to make a tunnel instead. But instead of underground they’re going to put it above ground, suspended over the water supported by pillars. 🧐
It was shared on here that that story stemmed from the fact that classrooms are keeping kitty litter handy so kids can shit in a bucket during school shooter lock down incidents.

The Great Lakes used to be a source of ice for peoples ice boxes. There were railroads built to move it to cities. In my town there was a huge building full of ice and sawdust that would keep it frozen into the summer.
There hasn’t been so much as a skim of ice on the shore this year.

This says 4000 people died by suicide in California in one year. 2k people over almost 100 years isn’t crazy. These nets won’t make a dent in the yearly total.
I took my phone number off my Google profile and the spam calls dropped off immediately. I do custom work and only locally so I don’t want to cast a wide net.
I wrote my number on a piece of paper and took a picture of it and uploaded that. A low tech captcha.
I liked this guy’s dodger so started following him. He’s a cruiser but got invited to a regatta and filmed it. I think it gives a great perspective of what a sailboat race is like. I think more cruisers should go racing, it teaches you how to react under pressure and how to use your equipment. And tests your equipment,...
If you ask a scientist what pi is, they will tell you it equals 3.14159. If you ask a mathematician, they will tell you pi equals the circumference of a circle divided by its diameter. If you ask an engineer, they will say “about 3, but let’s round it up to 5 to be safe.”

I’ve been thinking about this for a while. All these starlink satellites are ^just going to burn up on reentry. That’s like throwing tv’s into the bonfire and saying “don’t worry, they burn”

How did overalls and jumpsuits went from male work clothe to female fashion without becoming "male fashion" ?
