And things that people are allergic to, like wasps and bees
The reason why some people think they did it was because it was their job to take the mail to the mail room. But they were also the person who needed to go to the mail room to get our mail every day, which they did, every day. If they were already taking the elevator down to the mail room to get the mail, why not take the outgoing mail?!?
We also found out that they were just marking tasks as complete about 20% of the time, so we had to double-check every task assigned to them for the previous 6 months.
I earned my living with a hammer or a forklift for most of my life, and I never thought I would like the office gossip. But, It’s kinda great.
It’s generally a different level than it was with the construction guys.
“Joanne’s boyfriend might be emotionally abusive, and she won’t break up with him. Be kind to her.”
vs
“John got drunk last night after losing custody, and put his new girlfriend into a coma. We’ll need you to help with the gable overhangs.”
From my current workplace:
Someone was putting mail in a cabinet under their desk instead of the outbox, we’re talking hundreds of letters/cheques/invoices and some life-changing documents from a few months.
The mail outbox was on their desk, and easier to reach than the cabinet.
From previous workplaces:
And outrageous in a different way:
for only beating last year’s sales by 3% instead of by 4%.
Not sure why you’re being down voted, it’s a fair question, and I don’t have a specific study to link to.
I just have anecdotes from working with criminals, and game theory.
If something will add X% to your time in prison, but has a Y% chance of preventing you from being convicted in the first place, there are numbers where it makes sense to risk it.
Granted, it’s much more likely in a single-victim sex-crime scenario than a fraud case that leaves behind kilometer-long paper trails
Firstly, fuck this person and everyone else involved.
Secondly, she was a supportive witness that likely helped to get other convictions. She might be the reason that any money is recovered.
Thirdly, if the sentence for a crime gets too high, murdering the people who can rat you out becomes the best strategy. Dead people don’t take the stand. It’s why certain awful crimes, like assaulting children, seem to have too light of a sentence.
Not a surprising statistic.
Women seem to be sick of being treated as a “mom you can fuck”, and the younger generation’s men seem to be more right-wing.
This isn’t a question.
Yeah, I think Lemmy and Mastodon should be made even more separate than they are currently, they are different platforms with different styles, goals, and uses.
Women can play in the NFL, NBA, NHL, and MLB
The saying “dog days” is related to astronomy, and how a certain star appeared in the sky during the warmest months.
edit: Maybe we can consider all Fridays cat days?
It being Frigg/Freya’s day, and Freya is known for her 2 kitties.
You need to use a carot/arrow on both sides of the word to use superscript on lemmy.
^this^
becomes this
Edit: Header removed: maybe we shouldn’t encourage the use of headers.
Not clickbait at all.
Wet-bulb is the combination of heat and humidity, and it is deadly in 6 hours. The article is about the first time they have lab tested the conditions on humans to determine the exact numbers, instead of just using the 35C estimate that we have been using.
Reader mode of Firefox helped me be able to read the content of the article, despite the unacceptable layout.
Here’s the short version:
Wet-bulb weather is when, because of a combination of humidity and heat, you can’t naturally cool off with things like sweat.
There are certain combinations where the weather only needs to be 25.8C for a health younger person, or 21.9C for an elderly person for “wet-bulb” to be achieved.
Climate change is real, and it’s causing more instances of “wet-bulb” weather.
Outside activities may not be possible in the summer in certain parts of the world, people will die, the rich will move.
That doesn’t make it any less awful.
Thankfully, a lot of browsers have a reader mode to undo such sins.
That’s some awful website design.
It definitely looks like it’s solid enough for a bed, but it doesn’t look like it’s solid enough to hang a sling from or tie up a fella to.
That’s poor notation on my part.
I’m the dense one, not the ice cream.
If it’s soft but cold, that means it’s not dense. If it’s not dense, that means there’s likely a lot of air. Probably almost half.
a 3 gallon pail of their stuff is 15 pounds. Let’s turn that into useful measurements.
3 gallons = 11.356 litres
15 pounds = 6.8 kg.
1 ml of water is 1 gram, so if the bucket was full of just water, it would weight nearly double what this bucket weights.
From my time working with the product, I know that Soft-serve is commonly 40% air.
6.8kg is 58.8% of the weight of the ice cream. That’s pretty darn close to 60%
Edit: Changed g to gallons to make things less confusing.
It’s tiny, about 2% too small.
