Might taste just fine but looking at it, that's not a form of presentation I'd consider as 'food porn'.
Was it meant to isolate the bottles so the drink remains chill for an extended period? Never saw something like that.
On all pictures that I find, these airless tires have open sides. Wouldn't that accumulate huge amounts of snow, dirt etc. over time? And if a small rock gets trapped between the rubber, that's probably also not ideal for the longevity of the tire?
If you pay janitors the same as engineers then no one will bother going to school to study engineering.
I think that's debatable. Personally, I went to university and had a great time there. Apart from learning, that phase of my life had lots of events, parties and spending time with friends. I always saw it as a priviledge that I had the opportunity to gather so much knowledge. Especially as school and university are paid for by the state where I live.
At the same age a janitor, someone in room service or cleaning dishes was already in the middle of their job. And while I today have a job where I get paid for solving interesting problems sitting at a comfortable desk in an airconditioned office or even at home, those other pals are still cleaning hotel rooms, dishes or scrape off bubble gum from the tables.
Personally, I think the job itself is more than sufficient of an incentive to justify higher-level education for people. That's at least my take as long as the state pays for your education like in my country.
But independent from that I'm very aware that your standpoint on this is way more popular than mine. Also had similar debates with other people in my privileged situation and they are all eager that they deserve better than a random uneducated person because they did so much hard work at university. I find that pretty ironic, because I know some of these people from university and they barely learned for the assignments and the only hard work they did was drinking at a bar or club every other night having the time of their life.
And because it can't be really measured at all for many jobs. What's the economic value created by someone in customer support? What's the value created by a janitor? A dish washer?
Most jobs are not directly generating revenue out of nothing. Only the company as a whole does and it cannot be mathematically calculated who generates what share. In communism, you'd probably argue that everyone is equally important and thus earnings should be distributed linearly.
But if you tell people that everyone should make the same no matter if it's room keeping or an engineer, they mostly get upset. Because they derserve better than those dumb, lazy fuckers who didn't even go to school blahblahblah. They rather fight those below their own socioeconomic status and dream of their breakthrough and becoming a millionaire themselves. People are often egoistic unfortunately.
Yeah, especially that dirt effect in the corner looks pretty weird to me for a human-made painting.
And takes well-informed (buying) decisions with a high focus on quality.
Stimmrechte? Menschen, die etwas besitzen? Puh, das sind doch irdische Konstrukte.
Der Himmel ist die ultimative Endausbaustufe des Kapitalismus und Gott ist der alleinige Anteilseigner an allem und jedem mit uneingeschränkter Entscheidungsgewalt. Die Hölle ist genauso, nur wärmer.
The sea in New Mexico is all dried up because of of all the wildfires caused by fireworks from rich guys' yachts.
I use Mull on Android and so far I'm satisfied with it.
Und mit Stufenfilmen sind dann diese "Hilfe Stiefbruder, ich stecke im Trockner fest"-Filme gemeint?
