That is a very optimistic perspective David, and I envy you it. However my reading of history is that it is almost universally wrong, depending on your definitions of sane and proveable of course... My experience is that people are primarily geniuses at constructing a post hoc interpretation of...

On the assumption that you weren't being ironic: Do you use that argument when talking about drug dealers or sex trafficers or child porn dealers or meth labs or gun runners or etc etc ad infinitum? Oh but that's against the law... Yes exactly. The law and politics decides what is acceptable...

It is political correctness in a sense. My point is that everything is a political issue really. The fact that it's systemically illegal to use an ad that celebrates moving away from an ecocidally produced product while bp can spout nonsense about its green credentials while encouraging the...

sometimes you start to question whether a yeast starter is really worth all the effort

all the formulas in the world couldnt help horatio to talk to the girl

finally the results were in. the dover calais crossing actually has some importance for uk trade.

https://www.theguardian.com/media/2018/nov/09/iceland-christmas-tv-ad-banned-political-greenpeace-orangutan on the subject of politically correct society,i thought it interesting to see the systemic political bias of society. one could argue that in a hyper capitalist consumerist world all...

Which nonsense? Celebrating burning 'darkies' or something other? Frankly I've never met any of these ultra pc people. They seem to me to bea fantastically tiny minority of media people that write inflammatory click bait stuff because it gets some people soar worked up. Then the other side of...

It depends on the manner of neighbor love... I am amused by the correlation between people going on about snowflakes and the constant touchy outrage and indignation of those self same people at every little non story that pops out of the media churn. See most of the posts in the snug, all of...

The point is the intention of the joke. In general Nazi characters are being satirised, people don't tend to just play clips of holocaust imagery to laugh tracks. For normal decent people even bad taste humour whereby you make an outrageous racist or sexist statement because everyone gets that...

I'm getting stuck into the Viking death yeast for my next run... Looks freeaking awesome.

I just made a red ale. Pouring from the tap after six days, and decent too.

dampening grain before crushing is a good help actually. if its precrushed its probably good also, but id store it somewhere warm, maybe air it out a bit also. im pretty sure the reason some brewers make consistantly awful beer is bad storage so i would definitely keep an eye on it.

plug it into brewers friend and play about with it

the thing about society is its got a lot of cretins in it. the trick is keeping it bearable despite that eternal fact.

having said that, i only now watched the video (classic internet poster, me) and i see it is a fantastically racist bunch of god durned idiots, and i retract my defense of their intentions, although my broader opinion stands. i guess the point is if we all get too upset about these kinds of...

poor taste for sure. however the people needing punished are those making the decisions that lead to poor peoples safety being ignored for the sake of a few quid. a bad joke is a bad joke, im sure the idea was a badly understood version of the idea of burning a 'demon' or something unliked...

Never since Ancient Aliens have i seen a program with as much flair in editing and creativity in its reporting of facts. at long last Truth (tm) is told* *Truth is in this context a branding product and the authors in no way bear legal responsibility for the veracity of any potential...

Good stuff guys, thanks for the input and Beers! Enjoyed this swapathon. Think it was a winner all round. Definitely didn't feel disappointed, it's nice to have something different to sample and nice to get (relatively) impartial feedback. Every booger that comes round is so effusive about my...
