Doesn't lobster fluctuate as a luxury item in American cuisine? It was considered trash for poors during parts of the 19th century and again during the Great Depression iirc. Also, historically, luxury food in America was the most labour intensive as a status symbol. In particular, gelatine and finely chopped or diced food. So what happens when home kitchen appliances become common in the 50's? Every middle class dinner party has gelatine with olives and finely diced meat set in it, and it becomes gauche and kitsch overnight.

DickParasite posted:The second some previously exclusive luxury becomes available to the hoi polloi it gets retconned as "not that good". Lots of luxury crap is absolute garbage that's only really desirable because of its exclusivity, but it's useful to have people lusting after things that seem almost attainable instead of the completely unattainable power, status, and freedom that being wealthy actually affords. Caviar is alright, but I'll take the ability to never have to work or worry about money ever again, thanks.

And they are— particularly in their natural brown-green state, brandishing their claws like weapons and with thick antennae awhip—not nice to look at. And it’s true that they are garbagemen of the sea, eaters of dead stuff,4 although they’ll also eat some live shellfish, certain kinds of injured fish, and sometimes each other. personally i find all shellfish absolutely disgusting, vile, and rancid, and it's not for me, but hey, more power to the lobster and caviar eaters out there. vegetarian lyfe ftw anyways yes, this is how also how fashion work(s/ed). i.e. poor people emulating what rich people would wear that then rich people change so they dont look like the hoi polloi. e.g. suits were popular amongst the upper echelon of the regency era and became affordable under industrialization for the masses in the victorian era. you can also see this with Milan fashion industrial complex and stuff just creating increasingly outlandish and stupid poo poo just to look different, that then become a contemporary wear for the masses to some degree that's changed in recent times of rich people trying to emulate a more working class attire (fuckerberg, bezos, tim apple, steve jobs etc) but then masses also copying the elite back (e.g. every startup guy wearing a black turtleneck) it doesn't need to be said that luxury/prestige/desirability is just a function of scarcity, or in most cases, the labor-value that went into it Xaris has issued a correction as of 05:36 on Nov 9, 2023 |

lobster also used to be ground up whole with the shell and eaten that way, which is why it was considered livestock feed and cruel to feed to prisoners. also this was before refrigeration

Gelatin was partially because you needed to be able to afford a refrigerator to make it, which at the time wasn't as common

Aspic takes a lot of work to make from scratch. making vegetable and chicken stock and then roasting beef bones to use to make beef stock from the chicken vegetable stock then concentrating and cooling the result. getting it clear involves lots of skimming scum off the top and pouring through cheesecloth and strainers it’s all very French too and that’s why it was fancy. years ago a French, French chef posted a long effort post on doing it right. jello is box mixed with hot water then the into the fridge.

So nuscale canceled because of combination of rising interest rates and falling relative prices of new renewables. the crossover point changed. The last time I saw conditions cause a similar abrupt crossover point change for nuclear was in 2008. I had attended a presentation on the Savannah where they were discussing starting a US flag nuclear container line service between LA and China. They’d designed ships lined up shipyards, etc. The collapse in oil prices, container freight demand and the start of the big boom in wind renewables at happening at the 08 crisis killed that, by changing the crossover point significantly. anyway the point. there has been an abrupt significant change in expected future conditions if they canceled on nuscale. the recession is coming.

Bar Ran Dun posted:the recession is coming. FACT CHECK: The National Bureau of Economic Research is the sole arbiter of recessions in the United States, and while NBER did note the unusual circumstance of 46 consecutive quarters of significant economic contraction beginning in late 2023, the organization never officially assessed the situation to be a recessionary environment.

Thorn Wishes Talon posted:lol I’ve been going out of my way to check terminals stacks and ship drafts since the stevedores were telling me about abominably low volumes. the container terminals have significantly reduced container volumes and the vessels I see are sailing abnormally light. This is a visually apparent obvious thing. rather literally the stacks of containers are… just empty terminal. I’ve told the forums before that vessel drafts can’t lie to me, and I think you specially.

It’s possible the canal closure is causing the container terminals here specifically to have lower volumes.

it has to be huge change if they bailed on nuscale. think about all the guarantees they had for that project and how far into it they were. The engineering societies have equations for this stuff figuring out if the capital costs make sense over the lifetime of a ship. at least SNAME does for building ships. there has to be similar capital cost to lifespan / return equations on the shoreside power generation side. this isn’t like some poo poo middle manager or MBA deciding to bail. it would have been backed by the engineers calculating it was time to bail.
