While FMLA can be used in the case of a pregnancy you have to meet the following conditions first:

In order to be eligible to take leave under the FMLA, an employee must (1) work for a covered employer, (2) work 1,250 hours during the 12 months prior to the start of leave, (3) work at a location where 50 or more employees work at that location or within 75 miles of it, and (4) have worked for the employer for 12 months.

So basically if you work for a smaller company, or just started, you can’t use it.

Also note the per location employee rule. You could have a large nationwide business that purposely keeps the regional employment low in order to circumvent FMLA payouts

I miss the OG massive Xbox controllers! I wish they had kept the bkack/white buttons

I mainly do drip and pour overs and have this Mr. Coffee blade grinder. It’s not the most consistent grind but it’s pretty good considering the price

Can confirm, my brother laser printer has lasted 14 years and the current toner cartridge was purchased 6 years ago.

To add to this, due to the scale that the major grocery chains operate at, even if you do have a local grocer, baker, etc their prices will be higher than the big box stores

The police in America are very much not trained for anything.

Police in some countries are required to obtain at least a four year degree and attend a two year police academy before they can start.

Contrast that to the city I used to live in where they had a written test to be a police officer. A written test where they had to reduce the math competency portion from a 4th grade math level to a 1st grade math level due to too many candidates failing the test. Other than that, the only other requirement is a two year degree that is very generic

It’s a thing jeep

Same here. I like the idea of Lemmy but the decentralization makes it really difficult to find the content I want. Reddits centralization, while causing some problems, definitely made it easy to find communities. That lack of ease is what makes Lemmy not as easy to use for new people.

A NEW HAND TOUCHES THE BEACON!!

It’s the same where I live. Do I shop local and spend 2-5 times more for the item or buy it from lowes or Walmart? The kicker is that it is sometimes even the exact same brand and model item.

It’s the lemmynsfw.com instance. It’s also not loading messages so maybe it’s an issue with the instance?

I tried that but no luck

One of the Foundation books by Isaac Asimov has a main character that is agoraphobic and has to deal with going outside the massive domes that humanity lives in

Nice! I missed the beta so I’ll just wait till it goes live
