Ho raccolto gli ultimi pomodori, quelli che tanto non maturano e adesso faccio la marmellata.
È poco dolce e leggermente piccante perché ci metto un pizzico di peperoncino.
È buona sui formaggi, d'inverno.
La settimana prossima tolgo i pomodori e faccio spazio per trapiantare altre cose per l'autunno/inverno.

Mi sa che dovrò fare lo stesso.
Ci sono ancora centinaia di pomodori verdi.
[Ci sono anche tanti peperoncini rossi, che potrebbero aiutare la marmellata].
in reply to Uilebheist

non è male!
Ci va limone, un po' di peperoncino e zucchero.
ne faccio qualche barattolo che tengo in freezer (perchè non mi fido delle mie abilità nel fare le conserve che si conservano) e così rimane buona fino anche a primavera.

in reply to Shawn Parker

@wookieeboy Yep, I bought it locally from a store in Athens, Greece. Not sure if that's much help, but it's still available online in most online stores if you search for it, so your chances of finding one are still pretty high. It's the Weta Workshop Mini Epics - Alien (1979) - Ellen Ripley.



so many times internet has gone wild with the putin is dead and xi is dead rumors.

that now happening with trump says a lot more about the state of mistrust in information and institutions in the united states than it does about the health of the president.

UK appeals court worries ban on asylum seekers hotels can spark further protests


The UK Court of Appeal found on Friday that the High Court’s temporary ban on Epping asylum seekers’ hotels runs the risk of encouraging further violent protests, as the lower court judge weighed them as a factor in favor of granting the injunction. The injunction is now overturned.

Die Fassade des Gebäudes ist mit Balkonen ausgestattet, die in regelmäßigen Abständen angeordnet sind. Im Hintergrund sind weitere Gebäude zu sehen, darunter ein weiteres Hotel mit einer ähnlichen Architektur. Einige Palmen sind im Vordergrund sichtbar, was auf eine warme Klimazone hinweist. Die Sonne scheint hell, und die Umgebung wirkt sauber und gut gepflegt.

My only thought for today

We are at rock bottom and lack perspective, so it can be hard to view what we are going through with normal human eyes. But in the future, normal human eyes *will* demand complete accountability for what is happening in Gaza. Our view of humanity is so jaded that it can seem impossible to believe accountability will happen, but it will. This is a holocaust. Netanyahu is one of the greatest monsters of history. Zionism is murdering, starving, abusing, and torturing the innocent in vast numbers, in a systematic program of extermination. And to answer the prevalent trope, this is not anti-Jewish. Zionism is also murdering Judaism. This we know, and there *will* be full accountability. Only those who believe our humanity shall never return could say otherwise. The future will demand answers. Why did all of our governments across the West support this Zionist genocide, this holocaust, regardless of political persuasion? How did the entirety of the media turn a blind eye and act as the perpetrators' propagandists? How did every platform, every outlet, hide from us the broken bodies of babies? who decided what? So many lies will be exposed, and the answers will shake the US hegemon and its allies to the ground, as well as leading to the imprisonment of many currently respected figures . It is over. We just don't yet know it. And what each of us does now, how everyone is responding to this holocaust right now, is the truth of us as humans. Never will we know a greater test of our character that measures each of our strengths and weaknesses. What is happening in Gaza and to Palestinians right now will echo for decades, perhaps for centuries. The future *will* know us, even if we do not know ourselves

Government Accountability Office (GAO) warns of privacy risks in using facial recognition in rental housing

Property technology broadly refers to the use of software, digital platforms, and other digital tools used in the housing market. Property owners and renters use these technologies for functions including advertising, touring, leasing, and financial management of rental housing. These tools may incorporate computer algorithms and artificial intelligence.

Selected Property Technology Tools Used in Rental Housing

Property technology tools used for advertising, tenant screening, rent-setting, and facial recognition have both benefits and risks. For example, facial recognition technology can enhance safety, according to three industry associations and all 10 of the public housing agencies in GAO's review. However, these tools also may pose risks related to transparency, discriminatory outcomes, and privacy. For instance, potential renters may struggle to understand, and owners to explain, the basis for screening decisions made by algorithms. Facial recognition systems also might misidentify individuals from certain demographic groups, and property owners might use surveillance information without renter consent, according to advocacy groups GAO interviewed.

The four federal agencies took several actions to address these risks. To combat alleged misleading and discriminatory advertising on rental platforms, agencies pursued legal action and obtained settlements requiring changes to advertising practices and improved compliance with the Fair Housing Act. They also took enforcement actions against tenant screening companies for using inaccurate or outdated data.

However, all 10 public housing agencies stated public housing agencies would benefit from additional direction on use of facial recognition technology. The Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) current guidance to these agencies is high-level and does not provide specific direction on key operational issues, such as managing privacy risks or sharing data with law enforcement. More detailed written direction could provide public housing agencies additional clarity on the use of facial recognition technology and better address tenant privacy concerns.
