Another ban on Reddit

This time for calling out Nazis that adopt Norse mythology and culture. No hate, no threats, just the reasoning that if they believe in genetic racial supremacy, they must bow down to my guaranteed superior Scandinavian genetic purity and heed my words that racism is for the weak to steal valor by the least common denominator.

This time not even a ban from a mod of some random sub but sitewide from an administrator.

I'm not even mad. I got under their skin. It's worth it every time.

Edit: I'm not claiming to be racially superior but I'm demanding those that do to be consequent or admit it's bullshit

Laken - Recycled Aluminium Bottle from Spain

I wanted a durable sustainable large light bottle and found these ones from Spain. Large dog and me consume a lot of water so I opted for a one liter single walled that would still fit in my bum bag bottle holder. Despite not a thermos it keeps refrigerated water cold for at least an hour or more in the current 28°C heat so I'm happy.

Edit: response from Laken customer service:

Hello, Our aluminium bottles are manufactured in Spain. They are produced at our facilities in Spain, where they are manufactured under strict quality controls to ensure their safety, durability and performance. Thank you.

Pellicle plentiful

I've had plenty of pellicle lately despite not changing anything in my routines. I even have it in some bottles with a small head of air. I'm not worried but I'm curious about the cause. I've done a few brews with brettanomyces that are more prone to pellicle but even several without have had a thin white surface. Could it be brett living in the air contaminating or the spring times have naturally more wild yeasts of which some are more sensitive?

Modern humble brag

I'm sitting enjoying a bit of sun in the Scandinavian winter. A pair of mature ladies are sit down next to me having a conversation. They are talking about funerals, remembering and comparing. Cascets, urns, churches and funeral lunches. One of them circles back to humble bragging about one funeral in particular. "It's the most modern funeral I've ever been to", she says every time.

Google Dark Web Report discontinued because of course it is. But what does this last paragraph mean?

What the hell does this mean? Can only Europeans delete their Google accounts? Or is this an attempt at pseudo-legalese for getting around EU data privacy laws?
