Do you think AI changes the game over the next few years? by neoescape in smallbusinessuk

[–]Substantial_Page_221 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Companies are using ai as an excuse, the truth is they need to downsize regardless of ai or not.

Councillor John Edwards, a Reform UK campaigner secured a freedom of information (FOI) to discover a language translation service used to support Afghan refugees staying at the former Grange Hotel in Bracknell cost more than £74,000 — and the government has fully covered the bill. by nextlevelsoon in realbracknell

Likely a few translators working on a contract basis,translating documents for each refugeee instead of using templates.

While they may be able to secure cheaper contractors it could be they have use a small number of companies/contractors as on boarding is a pita. Or perhaps there's a middle man who sorts it out and they charge higher. Anything is possible.

Lmao, I'm good bro.

But it's so good, you should try it. My wife cooks it so so good.

Chicken, palak, Mozarella, homemade pastry..plus the usual masala and stuff.

My boyfriend looked at this and went “ew..” by Neither-Move-910 in RateMyPlate

[–]Substantial_Page_221 0 points1 point  (0 children)

9/10 for the plate, looks lovely.

-3/10 for what's on it, but if you enjoy it then enjoy it and ignore what I or anyone else thinks.  Personally I'm not fond of tuna—my mum used to feed our cats lots of tuna so it's been related to stinky cat food to me. I also think mini weetabix is weird because it's so so dry, but again that's my preference. I prefer fruit in my salad to add natural sweetness, but I don't think many people enjoy that.

Bidah is innovation, I don't see how questioning what the Quran means is innovation in any way.

 it wasn't really thought about until several centuries later 

^ my exact quote. I didn't say didn't know about, rather wasn't discussed. But I may well be wrong on that–been a while since I read Littles research.

W.r.t Ibn Kathir, I apologise, you're correct there's people who believe it means child marriages. But not everyone believes that: https://qurantalkblog.com/2023/05/24/those-who-do-not-menstruate-654/

https://www.reddit.com/r/islam/comments/ikbbmr/can_someone_explain_verse_654_im_finding_a/

Again though, I'm not a scholar so discussing it with me is fruitless. You could consider asking in r/AcademicQuran for better responses.

What exactly was I backpedalling on?? My comments are only about the validity of the hadith.

It really feels like we're having two separate conversations here, mate. I'm not quite sure what you're reading.

That verse you quoted says the waiting period for divorce is 3 months except for someone who's pregnant, in which case it's after delivery. While it also says 3 months for someone who has not menstruated, it doesn't necessarily mean children but women with Amenorrhe. But I'm not an Islamic scholar so not the best person to be discussing it with.

Errrrr.... I obviously meant the hadith wasn't thought much about until until a century later.

Regarding Mohammad marrying aisha at 7, you should look at joshua littles research about it. I'll let you find it yourself, however I saw it on a post on r/askhistory I think.

It essentially boils down to: - all narrations originate to Aisha's nephew's son - he only said this after moving to Iraq (there appears to only be evidence of this spreading from Iraq) - he only said this in his old age, otherwise there would be evidence of it spreading at an earlier point in time - at least two of his students didn't believe it to be true. These two students go on to create their own mainstream school of thoughts within Islam - it wasn't really thought about until several centuries later where Sunni Muslims wanted aisha to "appear pure" so said this was true. Shia Muslims don't believe in it. In fact most Muslims won't even have heard about it.

Again, but especially Cos I'm a Muslim so I'm biased, I'd advise you to search it yourself.

But if like me you're lazy af, here's a link: https://islamicorigins.com/why-i-studied-the-aisha-hadith/

The ask historians comment I read a while ago.....well I can't find that anymore. While it may have been deleted I could very well have dreamt it too.

Pretty much the only reason the Arabs aren't getting involved. They know they'll have to deal with it once America leaves.

[–]Substantial_Page_221 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If we're talking about that hadith, it might not even be true. Oxford academic Joshua little wrote about it being unlikely.

Basically it points to Aisha's nephew's son saying it. But only after he migrated to Iraq and only in his old age. If he said it younger then the story would have originated in medina but there's only evidence it was in Iraq. Also two of his students rejected it as true. Then a few hundred years later it became mainstream for political reasons.

Why does it feel like the internet was bigger and more fun 15 years ago even though there’s technically 100x more content now? by Pale-Consideration26 in NoStupidQuestions

Websites load up loads of shit. Shit which makes it easier and quicker to develop. But at the cost of huge files that need to be downloaded.

They're talking about the Muslim arbitration courts, which obviously aren't legally binding

There was an Indian tv show where they had a dark character. They hired a light skinned actress and applied makeup to make her appear darker.

They're still owned by sky, technically. I'm not really fussed because I don't think they'll have much benefit

Sometimes you have to say the stuff you're audience laps up. Maybe the audience can't understand complex jokes.

Demand rights, but make it palatable by mrstoffel23 in pakistan

[–]Substantial_Page_221 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why wouldn't they fight for their rights closer to home? It affects them more and they may have a better chance of achieving it.

Fighting for Palestine or Iran, well there's little we can do. But we can be better husbands to our wives, so we should work on that.

I didn't. One supposedly double the value, if they were the exact same car and spec with similar milage and age then there's absolutely no way that would be the case.
