  1. Even skilled positions are underpaid. In our own history, trying to fight against migrant waves has never really worked. We certainly don't have it all figured out either though.
  2. Would you sign such a contract knowing your pay isn't likely to keep up with the cost of living? Just a statement of facts. Rwanda: 120 million for 200 migrants Oneweb: 500 million Marble Arch Mound: A low 6 million The UK seems pretty well off.
  3. Sometimes the work being done is so vital that you simply have to pay. Society comes to a stop otherwise. Raising wages also need not mean raising taxes necessarily. Lot of UK's tax revenue is being spent on extravagant projects.
  4. @Sensei Not a really free market situation. These are mostly government funded jobs with wages/QOL below where they should be(about half).
  5. Not necessarily. If you have a Monospony you can supress wages. https://www.economicshelp.org/labour-markets/monopsony/
  6. Lot of overlap with others Island of the Blue Dolphins, Brave New world, To Kill a Mockingbird, The Good Earth, Siddhartha, Of Mice and Men, The Garden of forking Paths, The Awakening, Lord of the Flies, The Great Gatsby, Animal Farm, 1984, Night Science fiction and Fantasy recreationally.
  7. I guess I can't see why one sufficiently advanced wouldn't be capable of empathy. It will have various material needs and immaterial goals as well. Many of the programs may be too simple though. My cat isn't particularly empathetic. Many programs are more likely to be at that level.
  8. There's just limits on what the Invisible hand can do and how fast it can do it. It will push back against bad policy and bad businesses, but this isn't an instant process. Often as not it may not decide against you too. Shouldn't imagine unregulated markets make everything peachy. It's goal is efficiency, not necessarily you eating. On AI, I think it's starting to happen though mainly via businesses. They can act just as illogical at times so I'm not sure how it will go longterm. At least in theory a wholly planned economy can work as well as one more free market based.
  9. More genetic diversity is really a good thing. Shows that we're starting to recover from the genetic bottlenecks that we've been through as a species. Who knows what mutations might be required in the future?
  10. Evolution only deals with the selective pressures and not how how life began(probably crystal basis though IMO). A self replicating element is the minimum requirement for evolution to act upon. For me, the main thing is that DNA is all spaghetti code. This either suggests an incompetent designer or a lack of a designer. Other big one is our own mitochondria. They have their own seperate DNA and we share these with wildly different species. There's also all kinds of what would be considered stupid design decisions if we were designed. The Giraffe's nerve running all the way down and back it's neck is a good example. Ditto the wasteful making and unmaking that the cells do or the good/bad mutation in our DNA replication that causes telomere shortening. Either deity is not very good at it and therefore not especially worthy of worship, nonexistent, or is purely limited to setting up the laws of physics. I think people should come to their own decisions in regards however.
  11. May be better to do carbon capture/sequestration shoreside and offset CO2 released that way. If it can be scaled up Solid-State Hydrogen Storage may work too.
  12. I was thinking as a byproduct of O2 production for submarines. Would be pretty niche use case though.
  13. Definitely aids in clarity to add subscript when dealing with different bases.
  14. You rarely hear from the rich man who is content with what he has. I think you are placing too much faith in leaders caring for the legacy they leave behind. Sunak could simply bounce once he finishes. Personally just concerned she'll sign UK up to more lopsided trade agreements and/or further harm UK's trade with the EU.
  15. Lots of money in it. Yeah I don't know. I just see Sunak as best from an economic/business standpoint.

  17. Think Sunak would be the better of the two. One would hope he'd at least be pro-business. Could still avoid the one scenario, WTO terms with retaliatory tariffs and Nontariff barriers. Still be funny if the Countess of Cheddar won.
  18. Recently been found that the rate that they shorten seems to play the larger role. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41684-019-0388-5#:~:text=Although previous studies suggest that,but have much longer lifespans. Complicating things is the fact that telomeres can be lengthened as well via telomerase. Further complicating things is that only us Eukaryotes have this issue.
  19. The Earth isn't actually fixed at zero we just treat it as such. Sometimes it's potential can rise however and pose a risk. Also have the Earth itself serving as half the loop at times.
  20. In some sense they are(size dependent). Eventually Universe will cool enough though.
  21. I'm guessing he'll actually go sooner. This really is a bad time to effectively not have top positions manned. Realistically going to be a long road back to EU. I think a major demographic shift is coming for the UK but still early days. I'd at least hope the different opposition groups will work together to blunt the impact in the meantime. You start the GoFundMe, I'll supply the tar and feathers.
  22. And now the man himself: https://www.axios.com/2022/07/07/boris-johnson-resignation-uk-prime-minister I don't know about waiting around until October, but at least the end is in sight.
  23. One online class at Eton College in Canada and you're good to go! Seriously, even just a few sane policies would make a world of difference for the UK. What gets me is that there's still plenty of money to be made while simultaneously doing what the UK needs. Allowing Asylum requests to be made from outside the UK. Finding/Training all the inspectors/veterinarians needed. Building proper facilities in the UK for housing migrants and more housing in general for the public. Hopefully get someone who can at least reset interational relations, if nothing else.

    Creates an unholy abomination..

      My last one was 3/4  whole rye and 1/4 white spelt

      I put a little oil in the mix and some poppy seeds top and bottom.

      Rose quite nicely  and the oil made the crust less dry.

      Have made bread every day or so for the past 40 years or so🙂

      Yes ,with rye I think  you have to   add enough strong flour (ie make up for the missing gluten in rye) to get it to rise enough to get you a light loaf

      Otherwise ,you could try a very long ,low temperature bake to give you a pure rye but very heavy loaf.

      I think caraway seeds might be traditional with rye

       

      I have only just started adding oil to the mix...makes for a different kind of a crust

       

      Have never tried baking bread with baking powder instead of yeast but you could try that too .

       

       

       

       

  25. IMO pet infections(and infections from pets) suggest natural zoonosis explanation is correct. Suggest a fairly lengthy period of prior interaction.
