I'm not claiming my take requires any amount of complex thought. Just a basic understanding of how coffee is made.

You people have no ability to think for yourselves.

Spilling a fresh brewed cup of coffee on an immobilized elderly person's lap is extremely dangerous. McDonalds absolutely should have paid for that woman's medical expenses.

We don't need to pretend like McDonald's was brewing up HCl to get to those points. You don't need to pretend you've never heard of a Keurig or don't know the timescale of water cooling.

No, 32oz of boiling water does not cool down to 140 in the five minutes of brew time.

Do kids actually need to be instructed to *not* rape people? Some morals are pretty universal. Raping, murdering, stealing, etc..

Men frequently hold beliefs about the appropriateness of behaviors that violate consent, and then react in an up-roar ("we can't do anything any more, can we?") when called out.

Seems like it's a good idea to make sure these things aren't implicitly socially sanctioned.

Yup. Not sure why, other than racism, people are opposed to providing people with realistic pathways to citizenship.

Except her lawyer won the case with the argument that it was unreasonably, dangerously hot and much hotter than other places kept their coffee.

So....

I mean, a lawyer winning a case is a very twisted gauge for the truth.

Perhaps your company should be held liable for putting a Keurig in the break room, as they brew that incredibly shitty single cup of coffee at 192 degrees.

This is absolutely untrue lol french press coffee is brewed at a ridiculous high temp (190ish) but should be served at around 150-160. French press coffee cools down really fast when you pour it and most places will keep mugs on warmers to keep some of the heat, but it still drops below 175 very quickly. Any place that is serving coffee above 175 is insane and ruining their coffee. 140 - 155 is the sweet spot for coffee.

Lmao, take a temp wand to your french press and see how long it takes to cool down. Most restaurants brew it fresh which is the appeal, they plunge and then bring you the press.

He mentions being told never to replicate as a student. I can understand in some cases it's not warranted but is that a common teaching/way of thinking?

So what he's talking about is people explicitly giving him advice driven by the bad incentive structure of academia. They weren't saying don't replicate because it's unnecessary. They were saying it because it takes time and makes you less "productive", and has the chance of failing. So when people are measured in terms of number of papers published in journals at least as prestigious as x, it goes against your better interests to be a thorough scientist.

My training was very much on the opposite extreme. My PI would not believe a result unless we produced it in several different ways often in multiple samples.

Iirc it was demonstrated that coffee that hot is not actually consumable as well. Which really makes it pretty obvious they kept it far too hot.

If you go to a slightly upscale diner or some brunchy place, you'll often get served a french press with coffee in it. That coffee is the same temperature as the McDonald's coffee was. Are these places being negligent?

In the middle of the pandemic, I got an e-mail asking whether I had access to data from the experiments behind a paper Id published in 2014. Three months later, I requested that the paper be retracted. The experience has not left me bitter: if anything, it brought me back to my original motivation for doing research.

Pretty uplifting peice about a retraction, tbh. But the technical details are a bit interesting too, so here's a blog post that goes into the weeds a little bit in case anyone's interested:

This, also, is too strict. While it does largely entail blue-collar work, it includes some white and pink-collar work, as well. The most fundamental condition is that members of the working class rely exclusively (or at least almost exclusively) on earnings from wage labor.

This was closer to my understanding of the term as well. Essentially anyone who doesn't make their money by owning capital.

I mean yeah politicians suck but as far as terminology goes working class just means people who do manual/industrial labor. So, the lower class is part of the working class.

I just think that maybe if the term references a class size so large and diverse in terms of needs, things like "we need to put the working class first again" are either meaningless or likely to default to referencing a select portion of that class, which is going to be the easiest political target.

I think the term does us almost no good, except signalling that maybe you don't feel so fondly about capitalism. Which is a good thing, but that's really beside the point.

---

=E[(x-E[x])(y-E[y])]

Just to be clear, I don't think "working class" is typically broadening appeal by appealing to the lower class.

Lower class issues are never on the debate stage, at best are buried in policy commitments and forgotten about by first term.

Idk, maybe it's unfair to expect the government to do well by its most disenfranchised without the middle class popping up and saying "but what about us?"

I don't get really get it. Maybe politicians do favor the middle class (debatable) but even if they do that wouldn't prove appealing to the middle class is the most effective use of political capital. For example, if the term working class is meant to sneak middle class people into conversations about poverty, that's evidence it's more effective to make broad appeals

I mean, the obvious political calculus here is turnout multiplied by population size. This is almost guaranteed to indicate that middle class is the largest voting pool. Effective however? That's a very tricky question.

Is that the case?

I'd imagine so, otherwise it's weird that the politicians have always postured so hard for the middle class, across both major parties.

---

=E[(x-E[x])(y-E[y])]

If different segments of the "working class" require very different treatment, and political capital is much more easily won by appealing to one particular segment, it's pretty obvious that the terms is both useless and corruptible.

No, working class =/= middle class. It includes the working poor.

But effectively when any politician says "policy for the working class" they mean "policy for the middle class".

Hell, Bernie just tweeted that restricting the stimulus checks to 50k salary was an attack on the working class lol.

It's the in way to say middle class and ignore the poor. But it definitely indicates you're down with the left!

Is psychology a real science?

I have a hard time understanding how their method works or how chatting is supposed to solve serious mental issues

Clinical psychology resembles medicine, so it's both an art and a science.

The rest of psychology, however, is simply interested with the scientific study of behavior.
