    The bits had a leader of a major political party who actually gave a shit about people and they couldn't give a shit. Fuck yiz, you deserve brexit, enjoy. Maybe you'll be happy when you get another war criminal at the helm of Labour.

    But cars are a necessity for many people, while Facebook is a necessity for absolutely nobody.

    Necessity is irrelevant, as soon as you are interacting with the public you are required to uphold certain standards. If that's your own standard or a standard that someone places upon you.

    Good job ignoring the entire post you responded to.  I’m impressed.

    Haha wow angsty.

    I'm not very impressed, its pretty easy. Most websites have been able to moderate users and content for years. Youtube as an automatic closed caption ability now, even if it's not perfect you could easily come up with a list of words that would flag a video.

    The point is at the moment Facebook doesn't even enforce it's own codes of conduct, I know of some "news" pages who have functioning facebook pages for years despite repeatedly reporting of crimes that immigrants committed which turned out to be false. Alex Jones was kicked of facebook and twitter only this year, despite claiming for years that grieving parents were actors and made their homes public knowledge. A video of a man beating up a toddler stayed online after 3 times being reviewed by facebooks in house content review process.

    It's not hard, we want facebook to be accountable for upholding their OWN codes of conduct, they've shown repeatedly they are unwilling or incapable of doing so. So now is time to force them to do it.

    You know what's better than an algorithm? A person. Poor company though, couldn't afford that, they only have a revenue of 17bln.

    I know right? Just call it a damn album. It’s eight tracks. How is this not an album but a diminutive travesty like Demdike Stare’s “Passion” is?

    I think Stott's been quite particular about the composition of the albums over the years. Wasn't there an interview where he said that he creates a load of tracks specifically for club situations where he could play one of two tracks depending on the mood of the crowd. I think this is just a compilation of those tracks and not meant to be a body of cohesive works like any of the albums.

    That is how I would interpret it anyway.

    I have a Delonghi KG49 grinder. I think it does a great job and definitely prefer it over the Hario hand grinder.

     

    As for brewing, sometime you want moka, sometimes cafetiere sometimes filter or pour over.

     

    I would like to get a steam pump espresso machine at some stage.

     

    Beans, I don't really know what I like best. I tend to go for something that was locally roasted, they seem to taste better. But their packaging tends for it not to last as long.

     

    Right now I have a 1kg bag of whole beans from India. It's nice.
