How much £ do you craftsmen earn?

Craftsmen wages come from factory profit, you can calculate the exact average daily income of your craftsmen from the budget screen. (Tax paid / effective tax rate) / craftsmen population. Multiple by 365 to extrapolate to get a yearly figure.

So in my current vanilla HoD 1910 Swedish campaign. Craftsmen earn £0.48 a year. ((96.19/.059)/1,250,000(craftsmen pop) *365)

You can do the same with all pops. Note I haven't taken out pensions and unemployment from the calculations, even at the max rate these payments are tiny. typically 1-4% of a pops income and a smaller % of national GDP.

GDP is just the sum of income earned industrial, artisan and RGO production (less any pension & unemployment subsidies) , so similarly you can take a GDP figure and GDP per Cap figure. In this case Pensions & unemployment payments are less than 1% of GDP.

So what do your craftsmen earn in your current campaign? What game year is it and what mod are you playing on.

IMO craftsmen's wages are probably the most interesting figure which the game hides, and since vic 2 can be a game about industrialisation and socialism I think having the highest craftsmen wage is the goal.

Are they're any about the European Union's?

Is it reasonable or unreasonable to provide an essential service that you can only access with a smart phone?

Basically I now need an app on my phone to access something which didn't need it before.

I don't like this, I've rang and asked if I there was a workaround for me without the phone but I'm told no, its this new system or nothing.

I don't like using the phone. I prefer to leave the house without the phone. I hate how modern life has started to revolve around the phone and email and two factor authentication etc.

Obviously there is administrative efficiencies in using this and it saves time and money. So my question is should you have right to access important services without having a smart phone/email or does the cost saving of digital only access mean everyone must just get onboard with using a smart phone for everything?

An aside point I think having redundant non digital ways of doing things is important to keep if ever the digital infrastructure fails.

Any youtube videos similar to Vincent Lederer's Our European Bike Tour

I think its one of the best yt out there, specifically its the type of bike touring I like to do, with friends, not experience at it. With the three guys its very endearing and much more interesting than solo and very experienced bike tourers.

Was traditional Irish dinner time at 1pm?

Am I right in saying that traditional Irish dinner time was at 1pm or is this something I've just made up.

Breakfast at 6/7am, which is porridge, then a bit of bread with eggs, ham, jam or cheese at 11am called elevenses, then the big potatoes meat and veg dinner at 1pm followed by tart and cream if it was going. Then an almost second dinner called tea usually something fried like eggs, rashers and sausages at 6/7pm. The last meal at 9pm like a bit of fruit cake or scone. This is how my grandparents lived when ever I'd visit. With work interwoven between the early meals in the day and family time, mass, visitors interwoven between the last meals.

How have you found moving to rural / small town area and gay dating/hooking up?

Basically I chose to move for a job and a bit of a change, grew up and spent my 20s in a big city. Ideally I would have made the move with a partner but that didn't happen. I am happy with my move overall except with my love life. Just wondering from others how have you found it?

What I've notice is the pool is very different and it doesn't seem to just be a numbers thing, there are a good few early 20s who are still based out of their family homes, but anyone around my age seems to have long gone or has long let themselves get out of shape, then there's loads of dl guys but none are hot or interesting enough for me to bother with dl and all their drama.

How do become a better beekeeper, get more honey crop rather than more splits

2nd year beekeeper Wales, Had a lovely first, studied, got equipment ready, bought a a hive, split it, took off the honey harvest and got them through winter. I would handle the bees very gently without gloves.

This year everything feels like it went to shit once swarming season started, my hives built up so quickly, I caught a wild swarm and a neighbours swarm moved into a hive I had left out to take a split. I did a split and on the same day the old queen swarmed. The other old queen's hive has turn very defensive and hard to handle and has built up so rapidly again after taking a split I've to split again. I feel like i'm just doing splits after splits and not getting any honey crop.

I has been a series of learning experiences but I just feel so stressed now about the bees.

Why can't I get a freakin date despite hundreds of matches from the apps?

I got around 50 hinges matches this week, despite always replying and suggesting going for drinks or a date all week long, I got nothing. Everyone ends up not replying or apologizing over being too busy.

All week long I was trying to get a date, I had every evening free except Tuesday and now it's Friday, and even I don't want to waste a Friday night on a random date but fuck I just want some romance.

I make a great date. I can chat and be fun, I do cool things, I'm 26, I look good and am fit and apparently have very dreamy eyes, and have a cool line of work, and I'm not broke and don't live with my parents, I'm very unproblematic, I just want some romance. Does it just not work?

Is earning 8-9k a year realistic as a third level student?

I'm thinking of going back to college in 2027, I estimate my cost of living would be 13,000. With the susi grant and fees taken into consideration I need to earn 8 or 9 k in a year if I'm not to dip into savings or take out a loan.

Torn between going for a career in arboriculture or forestry, any advice?

I've been working as a groundie in arboriculture for two months now. I didn't expect to like the work as much as I do, love the physical outdoor work, how direct the task is, how simple it is and satisfying it feels doing a days work. Now I'm thinking the next step is to do the tree climbing course and earn more being a climber. But I'm also considering going back to college to study a degree in forestry.

Started working as a groundie, love it, how to get better, what are the next steps?

I've been at it two months now, thought I'd try it out, didn't expect to like the work as much as I do, love the physical outdoor work, how direct the task is, how simple it is and satisfying it feels doing a days work. I'd just like to now improve myself.

Getting a climber course is obviously the next big step but its expensive and I'm still debating if I want this to be my career, another options I'm debating on is going back to university to do a degree in forestry.

Just looking for some pointers for what I should be thinking about before deciding on applying to college for next year. If I am mad to do so at all.

It is to escape what I'm currently doing and get into a field I would find more fulfilling and suited to me rather than for the best earning potential. I'll probably be looking at 40-50k after a few years working in the industry if all goes well. And I don't think the pay goes much higher than that, 60k-70k at the highest positions.

Currently I don't feel I'm doing too great, compared to peers at least who are into the buying first homes phase of life. I'm on 38k, 31, single, renting in dublin, 40k in savings.

Living with folks won't be an an option if I go back to college. It would be a four year degree.

I feel pretty trapped as is, so I see this is my only option to get out and be happier, but I am worried about the finances and the long term, like giving up 4 years of earning now am I forcing myself into penury down the line, I live pretty tight as is.

In this hive there is 4cm space between the brood frames and floor. They've filled this out with brood comb that when i lift to inspect a frame i'm ripping the comb, worried I might crush the queen when returning the frames and other problems.

My solution is to put on a brood box on top of the excluder, when that's draw out remove the excluder, by the following week the queen should move up to the top box, I can put the excluder back where it was. When the bottom box is free of brood I'll remove that comb at the bottom, and replace the floor to a floor to give the proper bottom space.

Any one got a better idea?
