If you don’t think children accessing porn is problematic I think you need to give it some more thought. It most definitely normalises some extremely mysogonistic, violent/ non consensual practices.
I don’t think age verification is the answer, but let’s not pretend it’s not trying to address an actual issue.
The pop top ones are great and I love them but it’s easy to mess something up and make them pretty dangerous.
If you have a hygrometer you can measure the sugar content of your brew which takes out the guess work, get one of them before glass bottling. Hygrometers are like $10 and well worth having.
Plum and cherry wine sounds divine. Good luck!
If the juice is concentrated, like molasses it’ll be fine. Hops might be ok if they’re vacuum sealed and freeze dried as they often are… they look like little pellets. If they’re just dried then get some more.
Just follow the instructions.
If you’re bottle conditioning, (adding a bit of sugar in the bottle to carbonate) I would recommend using plastic coke bottles. They’re pressure safe and don’t explode like glass does if you add too much sugar.
Me too mate. We don’t know what’s in these files so overstating their importance could backfire.
It also sets some unreasonably high threshold for condemning the man, as if there is not enough information out in public yet for people to make up their minds and the missing piece we really need is some list with his name on it titled ‘underage sex trafficking clients’, and nothing else will meet expectations.
That doesn’t exist and when they’re released it’ll be a damp Squibb and it’ll be framed by friendly media as if he’s been exonerated and a bunch of people will buy that. Like the Muller report.
Keeping his association with Epstein in the public mind is good but leaning specifically on the files too much is gifting them an opportunity for them to flip it around.
She has a whole book like this. Every page is wonderful.
Excellent drawing!
Wait, I’m out of the loop, why?
Are you talking about anyone in particular?
The deputy prime minister was forced to resign just last week. The only higher position than that is PM.
They took the offender’s name and DOB, looked up the name on whatever database they prefer - probably the electoral register, and then sent the fine to that address WITHOUT checking the DOB matched.
There no need to insert face recognition or ai to explain an administrative error.
And for the record I’m not defending ai or face recognition. I think, probably like most people on lemmy, that we need to be vigilant against digital surveillance and the authoritarianism it could very easily enable.
However, this is almost certainly not AI or face recognition and railing against it is wasting energy that could be better spent elsewhere. Instead of contributing to a cause it’s undermining it. It’s FUD.
The footage is not used to identify the offender it is used in evidence by a court. It works like this, a litter enforcement officer sees you drop litter, they get it on video as evidence, and they approach you and issue a fine. You give them your name, that’s how they get it. If you don’t give your name, it’s a criminal matter and they call the actual police.
AI isn’t mentioned, facial recognition isn’t mentioned. You’re just making up stuff for FUD.
Most of these tickets are on the spot fines. They probably just spoke with the offender who gave his name.
You got a source on ai being used? This article doesn’t mention it.
Bit dramatic mate. One guy called Steve Jones got mixed up with another guy called Steve Jones. Shit happens.
I’m not your personal Google, why don’t you look for yourself.
Right at the end of the article.
They also closed their uk stores so their staff could attend the 2019 climate rally in the UK. They genuinely seem to be a good corporation.
Yes they are still paying staff.
Making them less reflective perhaps.
£2k. And £50 a year for a chimney sweep.
It cost governments around the world trillions of dollars to get through COVID… The uk’s debt went from 80% of GDP to 100% in the space of just 18 months. It’s hardly a viable economic plan to carry out on an ongoing basis.
Many non essential industries and travel just completely froze And guess what? Co2 production barely even stuttered according to your graph.
The solution is to transition into a renewable, prosperous, circular economy. Not go backwards into poverty.
