I don't necessarily disagree with anything you just said, but none of that suggests that the LLM was "manipulated into this outcome by the engineers".
Two models disagreeing does not mean that the disagreement was a deliberate manipulation.
I'm definitely not saying this is a result of engineers' intentions.
I'm saying the opposite. That it was an emergent change tangential to any engineer goals.
Just a few days ago leading engineers found model preferences can be invisibly transmitted into future models when outputs are used as training data.
(Emergent preferences should maybe be getting more attention than they are.)
They've compounded in curious ways over the year+ since that happened.

Romania faces reckoning with Brussels over soaring budget deficit - 07.07.2025
BRUSSELS — Romania’s fledgling government is made up of the country’s most pro-European politicians, but that hasn’t stopped them citing Brussels as a key reason why they need to impose a drastic set of tax hikes and spending cuts to avert financial collapse.
For the past five years, Romania has been spending way beyond its means — in the words of new President Nicușor Dan, eating a large pizza while only paying for a medium-sized one — and has a projected budget deficit of around 9 percent of economic output this year, the highest in the European Union.
That record of poor fiscal management has provoked repeated reprimands from the European Commission, which Prime Minister Ilie Bolojan now says can no longer be ignored. This week, ministers from EU countries will vote to decide on a strict plan setting out exactly what Romania must now do to restore order to its public finances.

What Happened When Five AI Models Fact-Checked Trump
President Donald Trump has presented himself as a strong champion and consistent supporter of artificial intelligence. Upon returning to the White House, one of his first acts was to issue an executive order to “sustain and enhance America’s dominance in AI.” On his second day in office, he announced the Stargate Project, calling it “the largest AI infrastructure project, by far, in history.”The president has courted AI luminaries, most notably Sam Altman, Larry Ellison, Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg. His “big, beautiful budget bill” contains a provision prohibiting states from regulating AI over the next decade, in the hopes that this will help secure U.S. supremacy in the global AI race.
However, though Trump appears to support AI, that does not mean AI supports him, as our recent AI analysis of some of the president’s many questionable public statements shows.
To counter any inadvertent bias or systemic failures, we asked each of five leading AI models—OpenAI’s ChatGPT; Anthropic’s Claude; X/xAI’s Grok (owned by Elon Musk); Google’s Gemini; and Perplexity—to verify the president’s most oft-repeated claims or assertions. The systems are completely independent, with no known ideological filters and no revealed perspective biases among the model trainers. Statisticians would call this methodological verification a check for inter-rater reliability.
Artificial intelligence discredited all the Trump claims we presented, fact-checking the president with startling accuracy and objective rigor.
Across all questions, AI model responses disproving Trump’s claims or rejecting his assertions were always in the majority (i.e., 3 out of 5 responses or greater). All five models generated consistent responses firmly denying the claims in 16 of the 20 questions. In 15 of those consistently firm responses, all five AI models debunk the claims. (Note: Question 19 in the comprehensive analysis addresses the models’ lack of inherent bias against Trump and is one of those 16 responses, bringing the technical total down to 15 instead of 16.) But even those responses that we categorized as “less firm” partially refute Trump’s claims.
Consider the following sample of responses. Most questions with “less firm” responses have been included and are denoted by an asterisk.

Agencies plan to decommission hundreds of .gov websites following GSA review
While this governmentwide review will cut only a small fraction of .gov websites, some agencies are making more drastic cuts to their online presence than others.
The Small Business Administration, for example, is planning to eliminate more than half of its total websites. SBA is shuttering websites for defunct pandemic aid programs, and is consolidating some small-business certification websites into MySBA Certifications, a one-stop shop for federal contracting certifications.
The Department of Health and Human Services plans to eliminate more than 7% of its websites. Among them, HHS plans to eliminate vaccines.cdc.gov, a website that tracks the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s state-by-state investments “in achieving national immunization goals and sustaining high-vaccination coverage rates to prevent death and disability” from vaccine-preventable diseases.
Documents obtained by Federal News Network state that vaccines.cdc.gov “is no longer maintained.” HHS also plans to cut 18 webpages that are part of cancer.gov, but the main site would remain.

‘What are they hiding?’ Florida lawmakers shut out of Alligator Alcatraz
In a surprising and possibly unlawful act, five state legislators were denied entry Thursday into a taxpayer-funded migrant detention center deep in the Everglades, raising questions about what will happen behind the razor-wire fences that are being erected surrounding the controversial facility the state has named Alligator Alcatraz.
Armed only with state law and a growing list of humanitarian concerns, state Senators Shevrin Jones and Carlos Guillermo Smith, along with Representatives Anna V. Eskamani, Angie Nixon and Michele Rayner, arrived at the gates of the facility to conduct what they saw as a legally authorized inspection.
What they encountered instead was silence, locked doors and a bureaucratic wall. The state’s shifting justification for not letting them in — first a flat denial, then vague “safety concerns” — only fueled suspicions.
Judge: You can’t ban DEI grants without bothering to define DEI (limited scope decision-bait headline)
In mid-June, a federal judge issued a stinging rebuke to the Trump administration, declaring that its decision to cancel the funding for many grants issued by the National Institutes of Health was illegal, and suggesting that the policy was likely animated by racism. But the detailed reasoning behind his decision wasn't released at the time. The written portion of the decision was finally issued on Wednesday, and it has a number of notable features.
For starters, it's more limited in scope due to a pair of Supreme Court decisions that were issued in the intervening weeks. As a consequence, far fewer grants will see their funding restored. Regardless, the court continues to find that the government's actions were arbitrary and capricious, in part because the government never bothered to define the problems that would get a grant canceled. As a result, officials within the NIH simply canceled lists of grants they received from DOGE without bothering to examine their scientific merit, and then struggled to retroactively describe a policy that justified the actions afterward—a process that led several of them to resign.

FDA Layoffs Compromise Safety of Medications Made at Foreign Factories, Inspectors Say
Dozens of people who help coordinate travel for complex inspections of foreign drug-making factories have been let go, and though some have since been rehired, inspectors said the ongoing strain of policing an industry spread across more than 90 countries has exhausted staff and could compromise the safety of medications used by millions of people.
For years, inspectors have uncovered dirty equipment, contaminated supplies and fraudulent testing records in some overseas factories — serious safety and quality breaches that can sicken or kill consumers. Last month, ProPublica reported that a generic immunosuppression drug for transplant patients could dissolve too quickly when ingested, increasing the risk of kidney failure. The drug was made at an Indian factory with a history of quality violations that was banned from the U.S. market. The company previously told ProPublica it believes the medication is safe.

A cosa serve la categoria "Discussioni sul Fediverso Italiano?"
Quando abbiamo deciso di lanciare citiverse.it abbiamo pensato che sarebbe stato bello creare una categoria Forum dedicata alle discussioni e alle informazioni sul Fediverso Italiano, soprattutto per quegli utenti che non sono parte del Fediverso.
Questa macro-categoria in particolare è dedicata alle discussioni di natura generica, ma abbiamo voluto creare:
- una categoria dedicata solo agli amministratori di istanza del Fediverso Italiano
- una categoria per ogni istanza italiana il cui amministratore dia il consenso
Gli amministratori di istanza che volessero chiederci di creare una categoria dedicata alla loro istanza potranno farlo attraverso la pagina dei contatti o contattandoci direttamente presso tutti quei canali che loro conoscono :blush:

Cos'è citiverse.it e in che modo vogliamo provare a creare un modello alternativo ai gruppi locali Facebook?
Perché citiverse.it?
In Italia, i gruppi Facebook sono diventati uno dei principali luoghi virtuali di aggregazione, scalzando i vecchi forum che tra la fine e l’inizio del millennio avevano raccolto l’eredità delle mailing list. Il motivo? Su Facebook ci sono tantissime persone! Creare un gruppo Facebook significa avere a disposizione un bacino di milioni di italiani già presenti sulla piattaforma con un unico account.
Questo sta diventando tuttavia uno dei motivi principali per cui milioni di italiani non vogliono abbandonare questa piattaforma extracomunitaria che pure è stata oggetto di critiche tanto gravi quanto puntuali.
Abbiamo quindi bisogno di creare un’alternativa ai gruppi Facebook per gli utenti italiani, con particolare attenzione ai gruppi locali di singoli paesi e città. Allo stesso tempo però, pur sapendo di non poter competere con un conglomerato industriale dalle risorse infinite come Meta, dobbiamo fare in modo che gli utenti del forum non siano da soli.
Per fare questo abbiamo quindi interconnesso il nostro spazio, rendendolo “federato” attraverso la nota piattaforma forum NodeBB: l’utente di citiverse.it potrà infatti connettersi con tutte le decine di migliaia di utenti italiani che hanno già deciso di frequentare i social del Fediverso, un sistema composto da centinaia di server social basato su software libero (Mastodon, Friendica, Pixelfed, Pleroma, Misskey), blog (come WordPress o Writefreely), servizi di streaming (come Peertube e Owncast) e podcast (come Castopod e Funkwhale) oltre che di piccoli forum già esistenti e connessi attraverso piattaforme reddit-like come Lemmy, Piefed o Mbin.
Con l’occasione, abbiamo anche deciso di creare uno spazio di riflessione dedicato per gli utenti più attivi del Fediverso e per gli amministratori di istanza, in cui sia possibile confrontarsi in campo neutro.
Differenze tra citiverse.it e feddit.it (e i gruppi di poliverso.org)
Le comunità di Feddit.it e i gruppi di Poliverso.org sono un ambiente focalizzato su discussioni tematiche di carattere generale, mentre citiverse.it è orientato alle comunità reali o virtuali, legate al territorio o a un’attività sociale: luoghi e città, associazioni e comitati, supporto all’emancipazione tecnologica e, naturalmente, un particolare riguardo alle comunità del Fediverso e agli argomenti dedicati alla degooglizzazione.
Come funziona?
Al momento dobbiamo valutare i carichi di lavoro e abbiamo definito più fasi. In ognuna di esse, l’iscrizione e la federazione verranno attivate di volta in volta. Ecco le diverse fasi:
1) Iscrizione al forum aperta solo su invito con gli inviti che possono essere inviati da tutti gli utenti iscritti; accesso come moderatori agli amministratori di istanza italiani che ne facciano richiesta federazione per TUTTI
2) Creazione dei primi moderatori di categoria
Il forum funziona per categorie disposte su più livelli. Le discussioni di ogni categoria saranno pubbliche, ma ogni gruppo che ottenga un buon riscontro di pubblico, potrà dotarsi di un gruppo chiuso gestito dal moderatore del gruppo aperto.
NB: citiverse.it è attivo solo da una settimana! Qualcosa potrebbe non funzionare (per esempio abbiamo avuto alcuni problemi con l’e email di’attivazione degli inviti). Se vuoi fare dei test puoi utilizzare l’apposita categoria "TEST" e se vuoi utilizzarla dal Fediverso, puoi usarla menzionando l’utente (senza spazi) @ test @ citiverse . it

Interessante nodeBB. Non ho capito come si installa in selfhosting. Comunque un problema di tutti i social, compreso Facebook, nonché il Fediverso, è il trattamento e la gestione dei morti e degli account abbandonati. Che farne? Cancellarli, archiviarli? Tenendo presente che il mondo dei morti è molto più numeroso di quello dei vivi, la questione andrebbe affrontata seriamente, soprattutto per i posteri e i discendenti.
macfranc reshared this.
su poliverso.org e poliversity.it ho gli strumenti per eliminare gli account morti e quindi ho inserito le policies per farlo. Su feddit.it ho meno strumenti, mentre citiverse.it dobbiamo ancora studiarcelo 😅
magari la faccio facile, ma i social non sono un archivio; fb & co tengono tutto perché ci lucrano.
Inattivo da X o più? Account disattivato. Disattivato da X o più? Account eliminato.
Per i post, invece, eliminazione dopo un tempo da definire (qualche mese/anno?).
macfranc reshared this.
Se alla fine resta poco o niente, secondo me, i social diventano irrilevanti, tanto più il fediverso, perché la memoria storica è un valore che non va sottovalutato.
macfranc reshared this.
Memoria storica? Su fb? Dove se cerchi un post appena passato in timeline non hai chances perché è sommerso dai risultati pubblicitari? Non che gli altri siano diversi, intendiamoci…
I social sono la piazza del paese: è chi ci guadagna sopra che li spaccia per altro.
La memoria storica si fa come si è sempre fatta: biblioteche e archivi.
I ricordi, invece,li conservi a casa, non in piazza.
Il problema è che gli account abbandonati o facenti capo a persone decedute vengono cancellati dopo un po'. In questo modo si possono perdere preziose informazioni che potrebbero interessare i posteri. Risorse come archive.org aiutano a rintracciare qualcosa, ma spesso non bastano. Alcune piattaforme prevedono una apposita procedura nei casi di account abbandonato che il titolare dell'account può configurare quando ancora in vita.
stai cercando di assegnare ai social commerciali, gestiti da aziende a fini di lucro, un ruolo che loro non hanno interesse ad avere.
I dati di un utente morto hanno un valore inferiore rispetto a uno vivo; a naso, se mai dovranno scegliere, cancelleranno la roba vecchia senza pensarci due volte.
I ricordi si tengono a casa, non in piazza. E le ricerche si fanno in archivi e biblioteche.
A me non interessa quello che decidono i social commerciali. Mi interessano le decisioni che prendono gli sviluppatori delle piattaforme del fediverso. Se ci saranno opzioni di configurazione a tutela degli account e della loro memoria storica, bene, altrimenti per me perdono di ogni interesse. Non per niente tengo l'istanza in selfhosting. Ma non è ancora sufficiente.

non ti interessa cosa fanno i social commerciali ma li prendi come riferimento. 🤔
Il mio punto resta invariato: i social, commerciali o meno, sono la piazza del paese.
La memoria storica si conserva in biblioteche e archivi, magari digitali, ma non in piazza.
I ricordi si tengono in casa (digitale), non in piazza.
A maggior ragione se la piazza è in mano a persone/enti/aziende inaffidabili.
il fatto di fare self hosting sposta solo la questione nella piazzetta antistante casa tua, ma sempre in piazza stai.
La mia opinione è diversa: per me i post sono ‘a perdere’, non un’ancora a cui tornare per ricordare questo o quello.
Le cose importanti le ho sul mio server di casa, che però non è pubblico.
अल्पसंख्यक अधिकार: रिजिजू भारतीय गणराज्य के मंत्री हैं, कोई राजा नहीं; जानें क्यों भड़के ओवैसी
Delhi News: केंद्रीय मंत्री किरेन रिजिजू और AIMIM प्रमुख असदुद्दीन ओवैसी के बीच अल्पसंख्यक अधिकारों पर सोशल मीडिया पर तीखी बहस छिड़ गई। रिजिजू ने दावा किया कि भारत में अल्पसंख्यकों को बहुसंख्यकों से ज्यादा लाभ मिलते हैं। इस पर ओवैसी ने कड़ा जवाब देते हुए कहा कि अल्पसंख्यक अधिकार मौलिक हैं, दान नहीं। यह बहस अल्पसंख्यकों की स्थिति और सरकारी नीतियों पर सवाल उठाती है।
रिजिजू का दावा, भारत में अल्पसंख्यकों को ज्यादा लाभ
किरेन रिजिजू ने एक साक्षात्कार में कहा कि भारत दुनिया का एकमात्र देश है, जहां अल्पसंख्यकों को बहुसंख्यकों से ज्यादा लाभ और सुरक्षा मिलती है। उन्होंने सोशल मीडिया पर इसे दोहराया और कहा कि अल्पसंख्यक पड़ोसी देशों में पलायन नहीं करते। रिजिजू ने पीएम मोदी की योजनाओं को सभी के लिए बताया, जिसमें अल्पसंख्यकों को अतिरिक्त लाभ मिलता है। यह बयान विवाद का कारण बन गया।
ओवैसी का तंज, आप मंत्री हैं, राजा नहीं
असदुद्दीन ओवैसी ने रिजिजू के बयान पर कड़ा जवाब दिया। उन्होंने सोशल मीडिया पर लिखा कि रिजिजू भारतीय गणराज्य के मंत्री हैं, कोई राजा नहीं। ओवैसी ने कहा कि अल्पसंख्यक अधिकार संवैधानिक हैं, दान नहीं। उन्होंने पूछा कि क्या हर दिन अपमानित होना लाभ है? क्या घरों और मस्जिदों पर बुलडोजर चलाना सुरक्षा है? यह बयान लोगों का ध्यान खींच रहा है।
वक्फ संशोधन पर ओवैसी का सवाल
ओवैसी ने वक्फ संशोधन अधिनियम पर सवाल उठाया। उन्होंने कहा कि यह अधिनियम गैर-मुसलमानों को वक्फ बोर्ड में बहुमत देता है। उन्होंने पूछा कि क्या मुसलमान हिंदू बंदोबस्ती बोर्ड के सदस्य बन सकते हैं? ओवैसी ने सरकार पर अल्पसंख्यकों को सामाजिक और आर्थिक रूप से अदृश्य बनाने का आरोप लगाया। यह मुद्दा अल्पसंख्यक समुदायों के बीच चर्चा का विषय बन गया है।
अल्पसंख्यक योजनाओं पर ओवैसी का हमला
ओवैसी ने रिजिजू के मंत्रालय की नीतियों पर निशाना साधा। उन्होंने कहा कि सरकार ने मौलाना आजाद नेशनल फेलोशिप बंद की। प्री-मैट्रिक, पोस्ट-मैट्रिक और मेरिट-कम-मीन्स छात्रवृत्तियों को सीमित किया गया। ओवैसी ने दावा किया कि ये योजनाएं मुस्लिम छात्रों को लाभ दे रही थीं। उन्होंने कहा कि सरकार की नीतियों से अल्पसंख्यक सबसे ज्यादा प्रभावित हुए हैं, खासकर शिक्षा और अर्थव्यवस्था में।

ओवैसी ने कहा कि मुसलमानों की उच्च शिक्षा में हिस्सेदारी घटी है। उनकी अनौपचारिक अर्थव्यवस्था में मौजूदगी बढ़ी है। उन्होंने सरकारी डेटा का हवाला देते हुए कहा कि मुस्लिम बच्चे अपने माता-पिता से भी बदतर स्थिति में हैं। पीढ़ीगत गतिशीलता उलट गई है। ओवैसी ने मुस्लिम-केंद्रित क्षेत्रों में बुनियादी ढांचे और सेवाओं की कमी पर भी सवाल उठाया।
रिजिजू का जवाब, योजनाएं सबके लिए
रिजिजू ने ओवैसी के आरोपों का जवाब देते हुए कहा कि पीएम मोदी की कल्याणकारी योजनाएं सभी के लिए हैं। अल्पसंख्यक मामलों के मंत्रालय की योजनाएं अल्पसंख्यकों को अतिरिक्त लाभ देती हैं। उन्होंने कहा कि सरकार सबका साथ, सबका विकास के सिद्धांत पर काम करती है। रिजिजू ने दावा किया कि अल्पसंख्यक भारत में सुरक्षित हैं और पड़ोसी देशों से लोग यहां शरण लेने आते हैं।
अल्पसंख्यकों को बंधक बताया
ओवैसी ने अपने पोस्ट में अल्पसंख्यकों की स्थिति को गंभीर बताया। उन्होंने कहा कि अल्पसंख्यक अब दूसरे दर्जे के नागरिक भी नहीं, बल्कि बंधक हैं। उन्होंने लिंचिंग, अवैध बुलडोजर कार्रवाइयों और अपमानजनक भाषा का जिक्र किया। ओवैसी ने कहा कि अल्पसंख्यक संविधान में वादा किए गए सामाजिक, आर्थिक और राजनीतिक न्याय की मांग कर रहे हैं, न कि दान की।
सोशल मीडिया पर बहस तेज
यह बहस सोशल मीडिया पर तेजी से फैली। ओवैसी और रिजिजू के बयानों ने अल्पसंख्यक अधिकारों पर नई चर्चा छेड़ दी है। जहां रिजिजू ने सरकार की नीतियों को समावेशी बताया, वहीं ओवैसी ने अल्पसंख्यकों के साथ भेदभाव का आरोप लगाया। यह विवाद लोगों के बीच संवेदनशील मुद्दों को उजागर करता है। दोनों नेताओं के बयान सोशल मीडिया पर चर्चा का केंद्र बने हुए हैं।
“Do You Want to Throw Israelis Into the Sea?” - A guide to fielding even the most ridiculous anti-Palestinian smears.
In 1973, a British parliamentarian named Christopher Mayhew promised a £5,000 reward to anyone able to prove that Egypt’s second president, Gamal Abdel Nasser, had indeed declared his intent to “drive the Jews into the sea.” Mayhew then expanded his criteria to include any documentation of genocidal statements made by a responsible Arab leader. Whatever quotations he received he deemed inauthentic. It was not long before one claimant, a 22-year-old Jewish student, sued Mayhew and their dispute went to the High Court. The case was dropped after the student’s lawyer admitted that the statement his client provided, a quote from the first secretary general of the Arab League, “was not genocidal.”
Mayhew called the trope “apocryphal.” Still, apocryphal as it may be, I am often asked if I want to throw Israelis into the sea. This question has persisted for decades, leveled as an accusation against Palestinians and allies of our cause. Almost every time, anywhere I take the stage, it is an expected though unwanted guest. Whether I am singing my usual nagging refrain about Zionism or talking about the “creative process” (i.e., stimulants and sedatives), someone will spring from their seat, tripping over themself to ask that million-dollar question. More accurately, I am asked why I want to throw Israelis into the sea, not if. That I possess such genocidal intent is already assumed. It is an attempt to implicate me in the inquisitor’s worldview. A worldview where I am a savage, pathologically murderous Arab.
“Israelis” and “Jews” are usually used interchangeably by those posing the question and understood, irrefutably, as interchangeable. The responsibility to then make a pristine distinction between the two falls on me. The burden of pedagogy. But none of those words—“if,” “why,” “Israelis,” “Jews”— interest me the most. It is the word “want” that is most telling. Wanting is neither policy nor procedure, neither present nor material. Wanting is hoping, longing. Colonial logic says that if I were to have that mere desire within my heart; if I am fantasizing about cartoonish revenges, that alone negates my claim to justice. Thus, any testimony of the injustices I have witnessed and endured is unreliable. The brutality of colonialism, the very brutality that is institutionalized and legalized, can then be excused or even warranted, if I were to want such a turn of events. Such desires, according to mind-reading critics, linger deep within our psyche and should discredit the Palestinian. Our yearnings impugn our plight. The trouble here is not that our enemies employ this illicit tactic (that is what enemies do) but that we submit to it. We attempt to refute defamation instead of repudiating it. We placate this fallacious logic instead of saying: Even if—even if!—my dreams were your worst nightmares, who are you to rob me of my sleep?
To simply imagine Palestine without settlers, to simply imagine a sky without drones—that, in the Zionist imagination, is genocidal. If you stick with the “want” of the charge, the notion that Palestinians want to kill all Jews, you find that Zionism is at war with our future. It is at war with our ability to articulate, even if only through poems and protest chants, a future in which Zionism does not reign. For in the past 100 years, Zionism has situated us in a condition of constant dispossession and premature death; our Nakba remains and renews. We are besieged in an inescapable, eternal present tense.

I wanted to do this for few years...
So I managed to find 80% food grade alcohol (it was harder than you might thought) and started the all season maceration.
Basically every fruit that I will get or pick I just put few pieces there and let it sit, the tasting will be at Christmas or sometime in December. First layer is red currant, I already used it for some maceration so I know it starts good.
My late-father once told me about a recipe he used when he was young, passed down to him by his old uncle.
Got a bunch of black plums (but he said any fruit could be used). Washed them, then put them whole in a big, glass jar with a screw top lid. The fruit was layered with sugar. Lots of sugar. Closed the lid and left it all out in the sun for a month. It fermented and turned into mush.
Brought it in and sifted out the solids. Left a lot of pulp. Mixed it with plain vodka and decanted it into smaller dark bottles with clip tops. Aged it for six months in the dark. After that, kept it in the freezer. 10+ years later, it still tasted amazing.
This post is inspiring me to try again. Thinking peach this time.
This is maceration not fermentation but I unintentionally did something similar with red currants and wine. I don't know how I made it but it was partly fermented with sugar wine and vodka (or some other clear distillate) to add more alcohol to be stable.
Found bottle few weeks ago and it was amazing, I forgot about it after I tasted it and don't liked it few years ago.
I don't like distillates that much, bit too strong for me, but basically fruit+bit of sugar+time+still and you have some eastern Europe pálenka/slivovice (from plums) or other "moonshine".
A friend of the family from Hungary used to bring out home-made palinka in small 7Up bottles to sneak them past customs. He said they would drink a few shots before and after every meal. Said that was how Hungarians became the highest per-capita meat-eating country in Europe.
I just remember it burning all the way down. The recipe I mentioned was more of a sweet liqueur and with lower risk of near-fatal distillation mishaps.
Will have to look into maceration. Thanks for the tip!
That's a cool project - good luck and update us on how it turns out.
Here in the US, high strength (95%) ethanol is widely available. We would occasionally do shots of it when I was (much) younger.

in reply to ray • • •This is frightning, google giving law enforcement a list of users who did a particular keyword search.
I am glad it helped solve the murder case but it also implies that my search history when using google services will always be stored and can be shared without my permission.
Given that its almost impossible to not use google unless you want to be frustrated while trying to do basic stuff like email, searches etc. This basically mean every bit of data generated my anyone is permanently stored and its just about time until it will be searched for any useful stuff in case there is a situation like this again which there always will be.
