  • The other thing is solving on-the-job issues that crop up like the previous plumber not knowing their ass from a hole in the ground, and now you need to figure out how to deal with their cursed contraption. Good luck little robot! Hope you figure it out in such a way that the homeowner doesn’t sue your AI startup into buying them a full house Reno, or the value of the house pre-poonado.

    I’m also in the same boat as you. My job is in the field and is already heavily automated but that’s not doing a damn thing for replacing me. The hard part is understanding a multivariate system and it’s safety critical. Humans can manage it but AI can’t yet, and probably never fully will.






  • Freezer burn happens while your freezer runs a defrost cycle and then kicks back on. It’s essentially the same process as freeze drying just incomplete and at the surface only.

    Water coating the outside of your food helps protect it by providing a sacrificial layer of water to freeze dry from instead of your food itself. Using a deep freezer also helps since they rarely defrost compared to your fridge freezer.

    What I originally said, supported by the sources I linked earlier especially the seafood one. Also, you’re telling me any time you buy frozen berries or fruit brand-new from the store it always has the exact same amount of water crystals on the outside from freezer damage?




  • No, you’re wrong

    Glaze is used to protect frozen seafood products and to prevent quality deterioration during storage. Freezing is a natural means of preserving food and extending shelf-life, but the freezing process does not entirely prevent quality deterioration, particularly if the item is exposed to air. Through a process known as sublimation, frozen water in the ice crystals on the surface of a product can evaporate when they are exposed to air, this loss of water from the product causes dehydration of the exposed surface, leaving a distinctive matt finish and cardboard-like texture. This drying out of a product is typically referred to as ‘freezer burn’, and whilst it is not a food safety hazard, it is detrimental to both the appearance and the eating quality of the product, and in the worst cases, it can make it unmarketable

    Seafood glazing

    There’s a lot more like this. Individual Quick Frozen (IQF) food is sometimes glazed with water to protect it as above.

    Also I’m in STEM, I’ve taken thermodynamics, I know my steam tables (where the core principles are explained) and how vapour pressure works, and yes, freeze drying is the exact same mechanism as freezer burn.

    Ice crystals on your supermarket frozen veggies are a sign that it spent too long out of the freezer during transport and stocking. It’s not by accident, but it’s also not on purpose.

    Not true if you read my sources

    Ice crystals are never a good sign, and are the starting indicators that the moisture is sublimating out and freezer burning.

    That’s true if they didn’t originally come from the factory with them.

    Freeze drying is a wholefully different process entirely.

    Why don’t you explain how it’s different to me then. Include sources.

    The process of spraying moisture is solely to add water weight to the end product, it also leads to freezer burn happening faster, which in turn leads you throw the product out and replace it with new.

    …no.

    Did you get your information from an Ai search? Because everything is marginally correct, but wrong in its process.

    No. Did you? Because you’re wrong on all counts as far as I can tell except for water crystals forming being a bad thing (not my claim if you read and comprehend carefully.)





  • Ice crystals actually do the opposite. You’ll notice most frozen veggies you buy from the store are coated in ice crystals, and that’s not by accident.

    Freezer burn happens while your freezer runs a defrost cycle and then kicks back on. It’s essentially the same process as freeze drying just incomplete and at the surface only.

    They actually deliberately spray frozen food like fruit and veggies with water after Flash freezing them. It keeps them from sticking together and also protects better against freezer burn.






  • Not OP but the pension system was built when 3% of people or less made it past 65, and everyone was having 5 kids that all moved out, got married, and were supposed to have 5 kids as well. We don’t have enough young kids to pay into the system to support the tsunami of old people forced to retire soon, and our young kids make fuck all to pay for the system for 20 years because the job market and TFW programs ate up all the entry level jobs they could have gotten valuable work experience with and cut their teeth on.

    That also doesn’t even begin to touch all the other ways the older generation have stolen the future of young people, but it’s the one that affects old people the most when the system implodes.
