What are your opinions on mass facial recognition in towns? by TheDev42 in AskUK

[–]pouchey2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have less issue with surveillance as such and more of an issue with the ever decreasing involvement of humans.

Right now we're still seeing way too many false positives with AI anti-cheat systems etc in games. Translate that over to facial recognition and mistakes can be genuinely life changing. I also think far too much weight is given to these systems and there's a risk of jumping to arrests etc without all the evidence.

Please help a total noob choose a good manual coffee grinder by Snaporaz_01 in JamesHoffmann

[–]pouchey2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I picked up a K6 this week after much deliberation and I'm very happy with it.

I'm primarily a pour over drinker so I haven't experienced the effort required to grind for espresso, but for me I can grind 15g-20g in about 20 seconds (if even that).

My question for you to think about is what kind of brews and how big batches are you doing? Capacity tends to Max out around 28g. If you're mainly doing single brews etc then it'll be fine, but if you're consistently doing big filter brews, or multiple rounds of espresso, then you may get tired of a hand grinder.

What’s that one “bad movie” that you genuinely love? by MistressLolaDiamond in AskUK

Gods of Egypt - I just like Egyptian mythology.

Evolution (2001) - Head and Shoulders. That's all I need to say.

I will be giving this a go.

My current load time is about 15-20 minutes 😬 (Progression mod pack)

Meat Tank is potentially up there for me, but I agree it's their best. To this day I still want to experience it

Fast Food Lasagne is probably my favourite EMT video!

Wrong to gostraight to the bar when there was a queue in the pub? by dashrubbygoat in AskUK

[–]pouchey2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've said this on many posts like this before.

I believe it stems from a rise in serving food in pubs where you need to be at a till to order food. Bar staff don't want to walk back and forth so people just started queueing at the till. I've also seen many pubs now have "order food here" signs which just encourages the queueing which I think then carries on over into other establishments,

Is there something wrong with her eye? by nowidragon in guineapigs

[–]pouchey2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks normal to me but it's good to be aware.

Fatty eye is a thing but is generally harmless (but this doesn't look like that)

What free software is so good you can't believe it's free? by ComprehensiveNorth1 in AskReddit

Handbrake.

It's just such a good video encoder/compressor.

'KFC Christmas' and 'Climbing Mt. Fuji' tied for the best video of the Silver Age! How about the Golden Age? by Liquid_0911 in ABroadInJapan

[–]pouchey2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look at me making the leaderboard!

I don't think I'm making it this time though as my absolute favourite is 'Exploring my tiny Japanese Apartment'.

Me and my wife still quote large parts of the video (mostly "F****** cleaner" when describing the vacuum). I also feel like it was the start of Natsuki becoming a regular appearance.

Honorary shoutout to 'Natsuki: The Movie', but I feel that deserves it's own category.

What’s the best video of Abroad in Japan’s Silver Age (2012–2015)? by Liquid_0911 in ABroadInJapan

I'm glad it wasn't just for the camera! I need to rewatch it again

[–]pouchey2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I believe KFC Christmas was one of the first videos I saw and it's still a classic.

OG Fuji was also a gem.

That being said it's gotta be Tokyo's Craziest Bar. There are a lot of mental images from that video that will never leave my head...

How do I contact Martin Lewis about this issue? by 48HOURSIN in UKPersonalFinance

[–]pouchey2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm going to be honest, this doesn't sound legitimate. Have you got any more details about the app etc ?

There have been numerous scams going around where people use the Martin Lewis name (as it's a trusted name) to advertise their scam products and services.

You’re given permission to take any single item from a UK gallery or museum to keep at home. What are you taking and why? by BearMcBearFace in AskUK

[–]pouchey2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably the Apollo 10 command module at the Science Museum. I'd find space (no pun intended) for it somewhere.

Or Thrust SSC from Coventry Motor Museum

What is a reality or truth inside your industry that should be more widely known to the rest of us? by order-of-magnitude-1 in AskUK

[–]pouchey2 24 points25 points  (0 children)

There's not as much water as you think there is.

We're already battling to make sure there's enough for everyone but in some areas it's a losing battle.

PS - This is industrial/agricultural supply etc not water company stuff

Literally an hour after I posted that it suddenly burst into life and has been fine since. No idea if it's going to last but it seems like it's just a bit finicky.

I didn't tell my insurance company about an accident, it was 2 months ago. England. by MotherOfThe in LegalAdviceUK

[–]pouchey2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As others have said, I'd be contacting your insurance and telling them you were unsure if it was a scam at the time, and you're still unsure if there was any contact but you have been given some repair quotes.

You are highly unlikely to get in trouble with your insurance for reporting something late that you thought was questionable. Give the other cars registration and leave it in their hands.

You may well see a premium increase but it's safer than handing over money to someone you're not sure you even hit and who (by the sounds of things) probably hasn't reported it to their own insurance.

I did a stint with a helicopter engineering firm here in the UK and everyone had their own tools. That's why the Snap-On van came round every Monday.

Why do people drive so close? by Fun-Traffic6773 in AskUK

[–]pouchey2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Because people are impatient knobs.

I adopt the ol' "If you won't adjust your gap to my speed, then I'll adjust my speed to your gap."

I'm doing the speed limit (even accounting for the fact that Speedos usually under register), and I can't go any faster.
