Layoffs: that one weird trick to solve all business problems, the working class hates it!

I knew I had heard of Greenwood County SC before. It was the county that saw the highest portion of it's population fall into poverty after the 2008 financial Crisis.

Anyway, when South Carolina is first in anything, you know it's fucked up.

I'm glad that the US is putting pressure on Iran against a wider war. I wish we had that kind of leverage with our ally Israel.

It's neat because this seems about half-way between an East Asian dumpling and an western European savory pie, and it's about half-way geographically too.

They will happily throw it out even if it has good uses.

Your comment is passive aggressive criticism without any substance. I'm going to challenge you to back up that claim. Name the good uses.

They named the outlet "reason" not because libertarians honor or practice the concept, but more as a trophy; something they defeated.

The best part about this joke is that it's spoken, not written.

Why are you measuring yourself by the standards of a Hallmark movie?

If you think being successful and having sex with good looking people will make you happy, why is Beniffer getting divorced again? Does Elon Musk seem happy to you?

There is a concept in psychology called "adaptation" where over the long run, people maintain about the same level of satisfaction with their lives. Extraordinary fortunes like becoming paralyzed, or winning the lottery only effect this base-line of satisfaction temporarily.

A literate person takes grammar and spelling seriously - - - writers prefer clarity and creativity over conformity.

I'm sure when the NTSB completes it's investigation of the "door flying off" incident the first recommendation to improve the safety culture is to do a layoff and restructuring. Professional managers know this can really turn around a moral problem, the surveys prove it.

Dishwashers won't clean these gaskets if they're washed while installed. Oh, and those silicone straws can come out of the dishwasher nasty too.

The Proud Boys have an initiation ritual where new members are beaten by the group until they can recite the names of five different breakfast cereals.

How do pagers work? (lemmy.world)
submitted 3 weeks ago by yesman@lemmy.world to c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

In recent events, I learned that some pagers only have receivers. How are discrete messages sent to these devices? How is it authenticated? How do they know the device got the message?
