So one of the places where they won't actually be monitoring people (most of the time).

Do we really understand cancer? Rates seem to keep going up and up, despite billions being poured into research.
We used to call this a brute force attack.

Has any of this surveillance bullshit reduced the number of incidents that occurred where they have been installed? I find it terrifying.

Is there any equivalent to spraying a camera with paint for audio?
Re:Do turmeric and curcumin have any actual health benefits? on Wednesday June 03, 2026 @08:39AM (#48383200)
Probably a bit over a week. Twinged after kayaking at the weekend. Got worse the following weekend and wasn't going away.

I did, it says it sometimes involves inflammation, but it was self diagnosed anyway.Either way I drank turmeric milkshakes and it went away. Maybe by itself, maybe because of the turmeric.

Maybe.
"Privacy concerns", i.e it returns results that they don't want you seeing.

Are the models really getting better and better? They tell us they are but I haven't noticed much difference in the last year or two.

It's closed source, how would you know?
Yet they managed to get a fake disease into them.
I has tennis elbow a while ago. Was going to see the doctor but there was a wait. Looked up natural antiinflamatories. Turmeric came up. Did turmeric and black pepper milkshakes for a week and it fixed it.
Look up grid computing. It never really took off.

Keep chipping away Dawkins, you might arrive at God eventually.

Try being rude to them, they will usually respond back politely.
Someone that has recently dies has pretty much the same biology as when they were alive. The conciseness is the main difference, I would say.
Indeed, doing a first aid course we were pointed out that sleeping is different from being unconscious. You can wake someone from sleep pretty quickly. You can't bring an unconscious person back in the same way.
It's literally the only thing you can be certain of, your own conciseness.
I have seen youtube videos saying that if you put some tape over your licence plates the cameras won't read them. I think it was tape to make a skateboard grip better.

The whole multicultural thing is proving to be a failure, instead of admitting it, they crack down on anyone complaining about it and double down.

Incredible how many politicians whatsapp messages disappeared after the so called pandemic.

They don't seem at all bothered about it in the UK, they try to cover it up.
Do you keep physically active? I am a couple of years older. The main thing I notice is that I want more sleep and have trouble getting it.And the grey hair.
Europe and the UK are going the wrong way.
My heart goes out to you.
Men can't get pregnant and I am not going to pretend that they can.
