Literally none of those are actually"objective"...
I grew up several miles from Pocklington (the home of the business named in the article) and having any industry up there other than pig-farming would have been a welcome change. The British government forced this country into an idiotic referendum on a matter where very few people understood the consequences of the "Leave" decision, and then doubled down on their failed gamble by fucking up the post-Brexit negotiations.
Blaming entrepreneurs, who were simply trying to create a business & employ people, something that this government purports to support, for lacking the foresight to realise how incompetent and self-serving this government is, seems delusional.
Yep, using it as a literal test seems to miss the point, namely that there is a significant %age of films and TV that fail to meet even that low a bar.
This one, every time. Imagine buying a product or service for an agreed price, and then being guilt-tripped into having to pay 20%, or more, on top because the owners don't pay their staff enough salary to survive on. It should be fucking illegal. Pay your staff a proper salary and charge your clients the price you published on your menu/price-list etc. Running a business isn't a god-given right, and if you can't do it without screwing your employees over, then you're not capable of running a business period. You should bugger off and let someone who is capable, and who isn't an empathy vacuum have a go.
The photo posted by the OP appears to be BC playing LB when he was a young man, hence I chose a photo of him when he was a similar-looking age.
Regardless, the cliche about Jews having unusually large noses is just an urban myth, and the makers of this film could have easily avoided the furore by not bothering with the prosthetics. What were they actually trying to achieve - did they think the audience might not know who he was without the big nose...? I don't know why film makers keep doing this - Nicole Kidman looked ridiculous with one as well. The only instance where it has been justified are the films based on the Cyrano de Bergerac story.
Normally black holes are considered to be everything up to the event horizon. E.g., from the Wikipedia page:
The size of a black hole, as determined by the radius of the event horizon, or Schwarzschild radius, is proportional to the mass, M
The term "black hole" derives from the fact that beyond a certain point light can't escape, that point being the event horizon.
In Trump's dyspeptic liver of a brain "irrefutable" simply means bigly.
The published "safe" levels of alcohol are generally completely arbitrary:
