So an app that doesn't work is a good thing? Nothing to do with politics. Heard immunity only works with a vaccine in place i.e measles.

Really missing going hillwalking up the Munro's and bothy nights with a dram.

It's not what it may do, it's what they have done previously. Some info re how the app won't work. https://www.theregister.co.uk/2020/05/05/uk_coronavirus_app/ Nice juicy IPA poured.

Why? There is a proven history of manipulation of personal data. Being the person appointed to head up GDPR compliance in a multi million pound turnover workplace, I'm well versed in what is acceptable and what isn't in terms of data retention. You obviously didn't stop reading if you took...

I use Google. Although I restrict it's permissions. I don't think me using maps to find the best local chippy as an example is particularly interesting to anyone. A potential Trojan app is a different matter all together. I have many a sensitive document stored on my phone, be it business...

A natural distrust of a Tory government does not make one a tin foil hat wearer. There are plenty examples of duplicity within this government. Tory donors were direct investors in to Cambridge Analytica and look at how that was misused. There is one example of a proven direct link to a misuse...

Using the app has no direct correlation with a risk of death. I'm saying that as a Chartered Health and Safety professional who is more than conversant with the idea of risk assessment. The risk (which is entirely separate to the Covid risk) of data mismanagement is significant, and one I'm not...

Just look at Cambridge Analytica. It's no surprise that free thinking people are reticent to hand over data.

....and patience!

Cleaning and sanitation are key. Don't rely on the airlock for signs of activity, use a hydrometer. The rest is about learning and your own experiences.

I used to be forced to keep the FV's in the garage. I used a builders bucket with a fish tank heater as the main issue was keeping temps warm enough. A divorce sorted that out and the FV's now live in the house! Ambient temp is pretty ideal for brewing ales and I seldom drink anything else. A...

2 weeks + 2 weeks + 2 weeks is the best advice I also received a long time ago. Mistakes will also made along the way. Roll with the punches!

Just want the hive mind view on whether I am being a bit unreasonable (or not). I ordered a stainless conical. This was advertised as coming with leg extensions, both in item description, the item dimensions and included with the images (both store webshop and eBay store). This appealed me as...

The government have ignored WHO advice, which has undoubtedly resulted in more cases. That's not just my view as an armchair expert, it's a view also shared in the British Medical Journal. Re: PPE, I was able to buy a large stock of FFP2 & FFP3 respirators quite easily in the third week of March...

Excercise Cygnus is well publicised. It only dealt with the NHS response (which was sorely lacking for a variety of reasons, underfunding being one). They try to make an economic point at the start of the interview, which was never a point of the excercise so comparing apples and pears. I've...

I see via Instagram that my local brewery are using them for malt.

Anything but a fan of Piers Morgan, but at least he is asking the rights questions. This whole situation has shown how poor the standard of journalism has fallen. BBC in particular.

This. Also Centennial, Citra and Cascade. Different beers to chose from with lots of that hop flavour and aroma

Jock & Poppy. Both 5 y/o Cairn Terriers. Defenders of the house and children, also like licking spilt wort off the floor and sniffing FV's. I think they like beer!
