You ain't fooling anyone
  • Some office work too though. If you want to actually win the contracts, you gotta go fast. Granted, it's not fast all the time, and we can plan when those contracta sprints are coming, to an extent, but I would definitely describe my office job as fast paced.

    Not to mention when the customer changes the statement of work you're bidding on...

    President and foreign minister of Iran confirmed dead after helicopter crash
  • Helicopter crashed into a mountain in basically zero visibility fog. Chuck Shumer said that the is suspected no foul play. Sounds to be just an accident. If I remember, this is what brought down Kobes helicopter too

  • Boeing 787 employees falsified inspection records; FAA opens probe
  • That video provides literally no value. "Spend money on share holders and cut corners." Examples?

    A big part of what's going on is a reverb of covid. The whole aerospace industry got hammered during covid, which forced a lot of experienced people to retire. We are now seeing what happens when a company with has a ton of tribal knowledge loses a lot of experienced all at once

  • Despair makes young US men more conservative ahead of US election, poll shows
  • Thats not how extraplation works...

    Went toward freedom in any amount of time, extrapolated to any other time, will still be in the same direction, aka toward freedom. The direction cannot change when you have two data points and linearly extrapolate

    If they went up 0.1 in 10 years, if you extrapolate 10 more years, they'll go up 0.1. If you extrapolate 5 years, they'll go up 0.05. They'll always go up at the rate of 0.1/10 years

  • I never heard of a hexbear before lemmy, and frankly, I don't understand them. They don't really seem to support any thing, they just actively don't support things. They're just negative about everything and basically, just annoying. They're not on any political spectrum I understand

  • Ukraine packed a Cessna-style plane with explosives, added remote controls and kamikaze’d it into a Russian drone factory 600 miles away
  • Yeah pretty sure that's a war crime under the Rome Statute. Emphasis mine.

    The law applicable in international armed conflict forbids “mak[ing] improper use of … the military insignia and uniform of the enemy …” (Art. 23(f) of the Hague Regulations of 1899 and 1907; Art. 39 of Additional Protocol I; Art. 8(2)(b)(vii) of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court). Not all uses of enemy uniforms are prohibited therefore; only “improper” uses. For example, wearing enemy uniforms in order to flee the fighting or escape capture does not run afoul of the law (U.S. Department of Defense Law of War Manual § 5.23.1.4). On the other side of the spectrum, engaging in attacks while wearing the uniform of the enemy is flatly prohibited, as affirmed in the treaty law and numerous military manuals (see here, here and here, for example), and is a war crime under the Rome Statute.

  • The soft life: why millennials are quitting the rat race
  • The problem is, you used to be able to comfortably live that life. Now if you stay at the same company, your wages won't increase at a rate to sustain your life style. Companies care way more about acquiring talent than retaining talent, so you need to move around to make enough money

  • Majority of Americans now use ad blockers
  • My wife does. But she's a sucker for "a good deal"

    I dont ever click on them myself, but if I start searching for something I need/want, and I see a brand I'm familiar with thru advertising, I'm more likely to explore their product, at least. Simply just because, "of I've heard of this before"

  • Ponybert Rule
  • As a dad of two girls, these jokes exist in a lot of kids stuff. Part of what makes it funny is you're not expecting it, so it catches you completely off guard. Then you laugh out loud and you kids either laugh too because they think there was something funny to laugh at, or they just look at you like you've got 2 heads. Both responses only make it funnier to me
