Prep occurs before cooking while the meat is raw.

Unless you’re suggesting cooking our fingers after food prep I think I’ll let someone else try that first.

I’m not sure that works. There were 20 shillings to the pound.

So £0.75 a week.

This inflation calculator:

https://www.bankofengland.co.uk/monetary-policy/inflation/inflation-calculator

£75 in 1843 is equivalent to £8,310.96

So 15s then is equivalent to £83.11 a week, £4321.72 a year.

40 hour week (which is implied to be too low). ~£2.08 an hour

So if he worked over 40 hours you’re talking a sub £2/hour wage. Around $2.70 in US money.

I suspect the stat relies on converting to dollars before applying inflation as GBP to USD was about 1 to 5 then instead of about 1 to 1.33

It’s fun but I wouldn’t want to denigrate Dickens by saying he got poverty wrong to make a political point.

Just my guess. I could be wrong:

As the lens blur is mathematically fairly simple and spread across the whole image it’s likely already consistently replicated by AI in a similar way to real photos.

It’s easier for generative AI to spot, “understand”, and replicate a mathematical pattern than the number of fingers on a hand or limbs on a body.

No headphones jack.

Trash generating hypocrites.

HMD are doing everything better than fair phone now with their latest models. More repairable, more flexible, long term support and updates.

Cheaper too.

It isn’t that simple. Solar power wasn’t economical until China made a push to manufacture at scale.

Wind power received that push in Europe. Then China and India have joined in.

Not buying the massive nuclear reactors and buying smaller units could be possible. They exist. Alternative technologies also exist.

But nuclear generates heat, which we use to heat water into steam. Which drives a turbine to produce AC electricity.

Massive steam turbines are massive because they are efficient. Multistage turbines range from near 70% efficient for massive ones to 25% efficient for the smallest ones in serious use.

NTAC-TE is a technology that converts the radiation into electric current. Like solar panels converting the sun’s radiation into electric current.

NASA uses it in space craft.

If we can get that working at an efficient rate smaller radioactive units will produce power without the efficiency loss of small steam generators. Then we can talk about small modular nuclear energy.

Unfortunately every pro nuclear person parrots the same gumf about nuclear being good, therefore we need to build the massive nuclear reactors.

They only consider talking about any other technology to try and defend nuclear when you point out why they shouldn’t be built anymore.

So in 20 years, if we stop building massive nuclear reactors with the money, we might be able to complete some research and start building the correct nuclear technology at scale.

But that 20 years is vital and we need to spend that on carbon reduction now. That’s reducing usage through insulation. That’s renewables being added to the supply directly now. That’s grid level storage to allow us to stop relying on massive steam turbines to hold a steady grid load.

In 20 years we can talk about nuclear again. Add an additional time for every wasted effort on a reactor like Hinckley C or Olkiluoto 3. Starting out as a thin justification and just economically viable.

But then spending 400% of their budget meaning carbon reduction would have been much higher investing elsewhere.

Agreed.

Also, don’t waste money on experimenting with the others. Just build renewables and grid storage.

And they are all uneconomical.

The nuclear industry only works economically when either we need weapons grade material as a byproduct or we happen to produce electricity as a byproduct when making weapons grade material.

They aren’t an efficient use of resources.

Amazon had their walk in walk out stores.

AI was meant to track what you put in the basket and charge you without you going through checkout.

They launched as an AI store.

Humans were looking at cases and were just meant to be “error correction”.

They were doing 80% of the work of tracking the images and barcodes into actual products.

Amazon closed the store.

Lots of “AI” systems are currently in this state. A computer can do the easy 10 to 20% of the job. Humans are doing the rest.

Venture capital are just investing in anything that looks like it’s working on “AI”. Even when it’s currently taking more human labour than the work did previously.

Companies are launching now as “AI” gambling on getting that percentage up otherwise they end up late to market. Lots will fail to actually use AI and probably fold.

Then they can tell us where the budget comes from then fail to explain why it’s worth five times the price of other renewables with grid storage.

Germany shut down it’s reactors as they reached end of life. It isn’t economical to build new reactors.

Nuclear has always been a military and strategic concern. Better than importing fossil fuels from potential bad actors during the cold war and you get some MAD weapons along with it.

If you support the weapons proliferation, you support nuclear. You believe in the cold war stand off and think it’s valuable. If you don’t, want nuclear war, you have to count that as another negative.

Arguing it’s an efficient way to produce electricity, even if it’s replacing fossil fuels, is disingenuous.

Pick two out of powerful, efficient, safe. That’s nuclear power.

And Hollywood profits aren’t from movies, honestly you’ve fallen for basic accounting tricks…

A franchise that doesn’t make money devalues the retail space. McDonald’s model links rents to sales so they take maximum value at all times.

Royalty fee: 4% of gross revenues

Brand marketing and promotion fee: 4% of gross revenues

Location rent: Unlike most other franchises, McDonald’s owns the land and buildings at its locations and franchisees pay rent that can be based on a percentage of sales or as a fixed amount. Percentage rents are 31.75% of sales. Fixed rents are typically £100,000 to £225,000 per month.

So Corporately it looks like they make their money from rent. But that rent is directly linked to sales and labour in most cases.

Without sales they don’t get rent unless they’ve agreed a fixed rent and that’s increasingly rare. Usually only the highest value sites.

The real estate value of the property is linked to business revenue as well. If a franchise fails and doesn’t get another investor then the empty building is worth a lot less.

By picking McDonald’s you’re actually about as wrong as possible. Everything of value is linked back to labour, even the value of the land.

It might work differently in other countries but I doubt it. Economics work the same everywhere and McDonalds didn’t like to standardise when they find a winning model for themselves.

When fusion or fission occurs you get new atoms.

It’s Hydrogen that’s existed since the universe cooled enough for electrons and protons to make atoms. Seconds after the big bang.

That’s most hydrogen.

It’s never been fused into heavier elements just still sticking around and caught in the planetary part of the solar system rather than the sun itself. Or any previous suns.

There’s some helium like that but most helium was formed inside suns later, and heavier elements all formed later in suns or supernovas.

But the SEO garbage sites active up to 2023 have updated since 2023 to keep up with each other.

So it works really well.

Exceptions are possible. Money isn’t everything for everyone.

It’s based on Hamlet. So Shakespeare, not the bible.

Is the internet scarier?

Or is it just millennials and “internet natives” having kids and more of them knowing better what the internet actually is.

I tell people to imagine a public place with everyone in it, the majority wearing masks or costumes. With constantly recording surveillance. Do you take off your mask.

Sure the mask is not perfect protection, and there are areas off to the side where people seem to not be wearing masks. But go ahead and choose a way to keep your kids safe.

If they cite one of the few things Freud is right about, it might not be awful. But better to cite the person who actually has a peer reviewed paper and proved it. Probably a red flag they they haven’t studied properly I’d it’s not buried under copious other citation.

Anyone with a main citation from Freud these days is a century behind.

People have the option of bashing their head against a wall as a patient. Someone should probably try to stop them doing that. Therapists especially. Quacks won’t and that’s the problem.

It’s amazing you’re concerned about a country with decent peer reviewed journals “biasing” articles and not the quacks who still cite Freud

The point is is anyone has a use for psychology they should pick someone alive to listen to instead of Freud.

Because it doesn’t matter if he got some things right when he got lost things wrong.

But I’m glad we at least agree no one should be using what he says as medicine.

Please read the articles on Wikipedia yourself, they’ll be a good starting point for you as they’re usually very balanced. Unlike the other material you’ve read.

You’re just being silly now. Urban designers do not have patients.

Victorian is a description of the time period. It is factually accurate. If you want to infer something else from the word Victorian then I can’t stop you but you’ll be wrong.

“Victorian engineering”, “Victorian Science” and “Victorian medicine” will definitely have different connotations.

“Victorian science” has the connotation that, unlike say Darwin, it’s not considered part of the modern consensus.

You should not learn Victorian science or medicine in the modern day outside of a history class.

Evidence based medicine that relies on evidence even 50 years old should be re-examined. Let alone 130.

From the article you posted.

“For example, meta-analyses in 2012 and 2013 came to the conclusion that there is little support or evidence for the efficacy of psychoanalytic therapy, thus further research is needed”

“In 2017, a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials found psychodynamic therapy to be as efficacious as other therapies, including cognitive behavioral therapy”

So low to no effectiveness, trying to reach a low bar of another “treatment” which is in question.

The fact is Freud is right except in the majority of what he’s said and done.

Mental health is health.

If you’re practicing medicine and are not medically trained or supervised by someone medically trained you’re in the same bracket as quacks.

Quacks who read Freud and implement his Victorian ideas when we know them to be false are a problem.

That’s why it’s important to discredit old ideas, whoever they’re from.

Old mistaken ideas in science are the most credible and often the most harmful pseudoscience.

Freud shouldn’t be studied outside of a history class these days.

Ideas of his which have survived scrutiny will still exist. He may get passing mentions. But he really needs to be out of focus in the academic and public perception of the subject.

In general an unsupervised psychologist is not a good thing. Those capable of becoming or having their practice enforced by a psychiatrist have a place.

Those still practicing psychoanalysis with no medical training do not. Especially if they don’t recognise that Freud was more often wrong than right.

Psychologists who are academic only are the ones discrediting Freud, or they’re peer reviewed and told their wrong themselves.

Mental health has a huge problem with lack of professionalism and regulation in practice.

Fl. Oz are actually nothing to do with weight. They are volume.

For each fluid oz. use 30 ml

It’s only approximate but the official measurements for nutrition actually do it in the US so it’s not a real unit anyway anymore.
