My workplace (manufacturing) has air conditioning, technically, but it has been busted for the last two years. It regularly gets over 90 degrees Fahrenheit in the summer, and last year, we had several people pass out. Supposedly, management has signed off on getting the air conditioning repaired, but only because it has been causing machines to overheat and malfunction.
If this plan passes, it would make summer conditions inside manufacturing plants like mine safer and more bearable for workers.
My TLDR version:
If finalized, new rules announced by the Labor Department would require employers to develop a plan to prevent heat-related injuries and take proactive safety measure if employees are regularly exposed to a heat index or “feels like” temperature of 80 degrees Fahrenheit (80°F) or higher.
Job site training and a plan to acclimate new workers to hot conditions are also required if the heat index tops 80°F. If the heat index at a work site exceeds 90°F, then paid rest breaks for 15 minutes every two hours become mandatory, and employers must actively monitor for heat exhaustion.
Heat index is the “feels like” temperature relative to humidity, and employees primarily working inside air-conditioned spaces or taking brief trips outside are not subject to the proposed rules. Instead, the proposed workplace standards focus on employees who are engaged in activities that could raise their core body temperature, according to the senior administration official.
Which translates to 0.08% of the cost of a $30,000 car, and a lot of their gas guzzlers cost far more. Literally pocket change for them.
I would play this with my roommate in college co-op to the point where we tried to unlock every upgrade and unit and such. We would try to make the game last by going hard defense against the AI opponent until we could get nukes. It was old and outdated at that point in 2010, and I find it wild seeing that there's a new update for it now of all times.
Learn to crochet. It's not hard to learn, aside from some people whose brains are wired a bit different, and it doesn't cost much to get into. Eats up a lot of time for larger projects, and you can kinda watch tv or listen to radio/audiobooks while doing it.
There are some things we don't have to imagine, because everybody has experienced licking it. One such example is OP's mom.
It's just different scammers now.
For those poor, confused, dyslexic souls reading the title to this: it's not "Fort-nite" the video game, it's "For-ti-net" the cybersecurity company.
Instead of making live action remakes of animated movies, we should make more Muppets remakes of live action movies.
This one is a classic and always pops up in my head when I'm craving pickles.
I have never gotten a reliable answer from a quora result. I avoid them like the plague now.
Every day, my work computers force a shutdown-update, take 20 minites, fail the update, recover from the failed update, and then force a 24-hour timer to do it again that I can't turn off. IT doesn't care.
Microplastics have replaced MSG and are used to flavor everything from noodles to ice cream.
I was hoping for an actual list of jobs he is barred from in the posted link, but it's just another dime-a-dozen article on Trump's conviction and riddled with ads.
Earth comes from OE, which comes from Proto-Germanic, which comes from Proto-Indo-European. Seperate from the Latin "Terra".
I like how this article ends up describing the difference between naming Earth as opposed to other planets and the more in-depth etymological explenations of all the names.
Sorry, I find etymology interesting, and the original post caught my attention, so I felt compelled to point a few things out.
TLDR: article is clickbait title, which goes on to explain the etymological origin of the name "Earth" coming from Old English, and other dead languages have other names for Earth such as "Terra".
The oldest possible record for the term "Earth" comes from Proto-Indo-European "Er-", which means ground or soil.
A little late for a reply, but I use stainless steel 16-14 gauge rings made for chainmail and use pliers to bend them open and closed. The Ring Lord is where I get my material for projects, and then I just use the rings for keychain stuff too.
I got grandfathered into YouTube Music since I was using Google Music when it got shut down. While not as good as Google Music, YT Music works well for me and has been building playlists suited to what I want to listen to. Plus, some lesser known local artists that only have their music on YouTube as video uploads will still show up on YouTube Music. I haven't really tried any other serious streaming platforms, and only YT Music and Spotify natively sync to my car with maps.
I'm diggin' the style of this manga. Have a source?
Happy Solstice to those on Lemmy! What traditions do you hold on this night?
Happy Winter Solstice! What traditions do you practice or have started this year? I always keep a candle lit through the darkest night and share mead with the Gods and Ancestors.
