There is a linear relationship. Milestones are simplistically related to water - freezing (0C° = 32F°) and boiling (100C° = 212F°). Both C° and F° are calibrated according to this 0/32 an 100/212 scale.

Other users have shown more detail on the relationship but didn't explicitly mention water / freeze / boil.

:D

and one month later you get another bill for the fee of the police cruiser.

This is a very nice example.

You can also tell from the conversion formula (which is the formula behind that graph, too) that the relationship is linear. Namely...

>F = 1.8 * C + 32 (or C = 5/9 * F - 32)

...is a classic a * x + b linear formula.

E: switched F and C originally.

In the us for basic coverage that is employer sponsored is still closer to $1000 a month. At least that’s the bill I got when I got laid off.

Linear doesn't mean the scale is 1:1. Visually, if you plot the corresponding C and F measurements (say the C on the horizontal axis and F on the vertical), you get a straight line. This is a "linear" relationship between F and C.

It does not mean that 0C = 0F nor does it mean a 1 degree difference in F equals a 1 degree difference in C. It means a proportional change in one results in an identical proportion change in another.

I think I get it now, thank you (:

I think they mean the actual cost to provide the healthcare isn’t higher, rather they just inflate the price to the consumer.

Aye seems that is correct. Today I learned.

Yes, if you look at the liquid range of water you see it's 32-212 if F, or 0-100 in C. (212-32)/(100-0) shows that there's 1.8 change in F for every change of 1C.

There is a linear correlation, but the origin is not at 0.

Both scales have a constant linearity to them, and 1 degree Celsius increase is always a 1.8 degree Farenheit increase.

This graph plots one against the other, as you can see showing a linear correlation. https://d1uvxqwmcz8fl1.cloudfront.net/tes/resources/11829524/ff0efc69-c7a4-4963-ba86-c733ac6602a3/image?width=500&height=500&version=1541452521288

I was under following impression:

> No, pickling is not fermentation. Pickling use vinegar and heat to kill microorganisms. Fermentation, on the other hand, let the natural bacteria create lactic acid that will keep the bad microorganisms at bay, while improving the nutritional quality of the vegetables.

(https://revolutionfermentation.com/en/blogs/fermented-vegetables/differences-fermentation-pickling/#:~:text=No%2C%20pickling%20is%20not%20fermentation,nutritional%20quality%20of%20the%20vegetables.)

However found somwhere else following:

> Sauerkraut is a pickle! The naturally high water content in cabbage, mixed with salt, makes a brine, which therefore makes sauerkraut and kimchi a pickle as well as a fermented food.

So today I learned. Thanks for correcting me!

Don’t give them any more ideas. We’re already being nickel and dimed by corporations.

For a grammar nazi you should learn the difference between "what" and "which".

Sorry you have to deal with this. Honestly do what you can to tell the doctors office you Cannot pay them a dime before the claim is approved by insurance. They have staff designed to deal with this in ways you don’t have the years of training to. If you force them to tackle insurance with hard stops before they see a dime they will find a way…

It’s all about how the fucked up the coding when sending it. And this is why I hate the healthcare system.

There's a whole mess of folks on this site who have no idea how well the rich actually live. They don't share social spaces with us unless they're slumming it.

There are a lot of good explanations, but I think I can be more concise:

Universal health care is a healthcare system that's available to all, regardless of financial status. In Canada, our health system is administered by the Federal government (via the Canada Health Act), and funded through tax revenues.

Any Canadian (or more broadly, anyone that meets the residency requirements) is automatically covered, at no cost, for most (but not all) medical services.

Certain categories aren't included under the services outlined in the Canada Heath Act (dental and vision care, and prescription medications), but there are supplementary health plans available for those that ease the financial 'sting' a little.

If you get sick, you just go to the doctor.

At no point you worry whether you can afford it.

The doctor looks at you and makes a list of what they think you need. At no point they ask you what you can afford. You just get what you need. It might be going through a multi-million dollar machine, operated by a very well paid specialist. No matter. You get sick, you get the machine. The CEO of some bank gets the same sickness, they gets the exact same prescription.

Depending on the details of the implementation, when it's all over, you're free to go, there's nothing to pay. In some implementations, there's a bill. But, you usually have enough change on you to pay it. It's very cheap, and doesn't actually cover the costs at all. Some implementation require people to pay a symbolic amount to avoid stuff like lonely people pretending to be sick just to have someone to talk to.

So, who pays? Taxes. It's not cheap either. Billions upon billions. But that's a choice societies make, and pretty much all societies that have the cash make the Universal Healthcare choice. I know of only one exception.

This is a loaded question in so many ways. You may be confusing other genres like lounge and bossa nova with jazz. In general you'll find easy listening music, and smooth jazz is included in this. But I don't expect you'll hear other kinds of jazz like modal jazz, free jazz, jazz fusion, and so on.

Typically you want music that's quiet, low or mid tempo, free of vocals, and does not consist primarily of music made with synthesizers (as older people may find this to be a turnoff, even if it's peaceful music). I have a feeling that a good portion of this is (other than classical music, as mentioned in another comment) being categorized as "jazz" to you because you may not be familiar enough with a large variety of music.

Also I can give you a piece of advice. If you are in charge of creating a playlist at an upscale Italian restaurant in San Mateo, California, working part time minimum wage as a line cook, and your boss says, "Hey, you have long hair, you probably know a lot about music, right?" you should not choose your personal, pre-existing playlist that consists of every song in the entire Napalm Death discography that is under 60 seconds long. Just throwing in related life advice for OP and any other commenters.

Don't know about US history but, apparently, in Ancient Rome Marcus Crassus used to do this:

> Once a house caught fire, Crassus would send his slaves to fight the fire. Once they arrived at the house, they would only put out the fire if the owner of the house sold the building to Crassus. Crassus would then sell the house back to the original owner at a marked up price.

Just to add for Germany, as universal healthcare is always confused with free. Depending on income you pay a certain percentage of your income, which is automatically deducted from your pay by your employer. I pay around 370 per month and my employer pays an additional 340 per month for my health insurance, and that's with slightly above average income..

But my family (wife and kid) are completely covered as well.

and the officer would still be late

Nevermind the waffles, how were the fights?

Nah, love a person that brings you happiness and joy but don't let that be the only source of it. Codependent people are fully dependant on a person or persons for happiness, joy and something to do and without them they are "lost".

They probably sold it at some point in the past 40 years though right :)

Not trying to be a dick or anything just showing that the term "cornichon" has been used in Australia at one of the largest supermarkets in the country.

And yes you are correct. I am pretty sure that they were at a premium price to "pickled baby cucumbers".

To me it is more of a French term than English. But in English we don't have such clear words for pickles as, for example, Polish where Ogorky konserwowe has quite a clear meaning as opposed to Ogorky kiszone. So I guess we steal words from where we can and if they happen to sound fancy it's just a bonus ahahaha
