Is this question really worthy of an ELI5 post?

You realise that you just said “healthcare isn’t more expensive. The prices are just higher.”

As opposed to private healthcare like in America?

Engineer: this road is in bad shape. Here is what materials and actions we need to fix it.

Insurance: denied, your customer's insurance plan does not cover that.

Engineer: what? Excuse me, may I see your engineering degree that says you can tell me how to do my job?

Insurance: don't need it. We're just telling you, it's not structurally necessary.

Engineer: by what do you base that?

Insurance: because it would not be profitable for us.

Edit round 2!

Engineer: we were unsure if there are underground utilities where I want to dig. Ignoring this possibility could be disastrous, so I ordered a consult with a specialist to look for underground utilities. The dig site is clear.

Insurance: so they found no utilities?

Engineer: correct.

Insurance: so the test was not necessary. Coverage denied.

I've never had a lentil on my face before

Perhaps you meant instrumental rather than jazz or take a rather wide interpretation of what jazz is. (another debate altogether).

Thing is that, for quiet/fancy restaurants, the music needs to be somewhat in the background. Enough to distract away from random noises but not so loud that it drowns out conversation.

The thing about music is that we (humans) are quite attuned to the sound of voice. We tend to zero in on the vocal line and the instrumental accompaniment is less prominent (although it can be "jazzy") So loud vocals and accompaniment are unlikely to be played in a restaurant.

For instrumentals, the instrument (or instruments) has to carry that "main" melody but few instruments can replace a voice. So the instrumentalist will have to introduce harmonies and variations that hold attention without being "cheesy". Imagine someone playing the piano that exactly mimics a vocal line and it'll very quickly sound like children's nursery rhyme music (not what most people want to hear in a fancy restaurant).

So the instruments get to play a more prominent and varied role and that perhaps sounds "jazzy".

Smaller than the typical pickle?

Or just Typical Pickle?

You go to the wrong type of restaurant.
Most "fancy" restaurants play classical music or at least the ones I go to do.

My American cousin came over a while ago and I took him to the chip shop and he asked "do you have any pickle?" And was a bit confused when presented with pickled onions, curried pickled onions, pickled eggs and pickled walnuts!

Man, the french have a problem with this word. I've seen it as brassée, but that's literally the word they use for making beer.

They have pickles, but they are called cornichons. They are described as "marinated cucumbers". But pickling and marinating arent the same...

Corncorn

I don’t get your example at all.

Our first guest speaker comes from the year 400 BC, a time when most of the world looked like the cover of the Led Zeppelin album, Houses of the Holy.

We were there. There were many steps and columns. It was most tranquil.

He is sometimes known as the father of modern thought. He was the teacher of Plato, who was in turn the teacher of Aristotle, and like Ozzy Osbourne, was repeatedly accused of corruption of the young.

Yeah it's more like 'hey there's some nice flat stones I could build a house with'

It's got that typical pickle tickle

Yea it’s gherkins in Uk, we even have a big building named after them. Pickled eggs and onions are also big here so maybe that’s why we clarify. I personally love a pickled walnut.

Employers who don't want to provide anything more than the lowest possible pay and some level of health insurance.

People who make money because of the current system.

And both groups can afford to buy Congressmen.

"Pickling is the process of preserving edible products in an acid solution, usually vinegar, or in salt solution (brine). In the latter case, the acid that does the preservative action (lactic acid mainly) is produced by fermentation"

Every source I look at says sauerkraut is considered pickled cabbage.
