Also I don't give a poo poo about your handcrafted artisan bullshit niche edge case hotsauces, Tabasco, Tapatio and Cholua are fine for me.

A full on fermented hotsauce or just throw some peppers in vinegar in a jar? Because both are great.

The latter mainly, though I guess if you gently caress it up bad enough it'll eventually turn into the former.

Before I had a kid I used can banana peppers ( jalapeno planted with them to make them spicy, can make spicy tomatoes that way too) in straight vinegar canned with garlic and dill. That was some good vinegar. Never done the full on fermented hot sauce thing, mostly because I don't want mother in the house. Last thing I need is to accidentally turn my home-brew into malt vinegar.

quote:

Anguish: The sweet one. Think of running through a field, getting kicked in the face and landing on a bushel of raspberries.

Grief: When tasting grief, it's mildly sweet, it's savory, and it's generally pleasant the way a five-day roadtrip with the in-laws would be. (Allergy notice: contains organic honey)

Sorrow: You're in Germany and you're hungry so you stop at a food cart. Why, if you're here, do they have curry sauce on their wurst? This is something like that, only it kicks like a mule and the heat lingers like a one-night-stand that wants breakfast.

Distress: Tastes like the morning after a Tennessee party. A bit like smoke, a lot like whiskey, and with a moral hangover you won't be able to shake off for months to come. (Contains a minimal amount of alcohol)

Bane (Special Batch): Like getting in a fight with a child. You can't win, you can't kick them back. It's very elementary and simple, but it still makes you angry and it burns to the core. My personal favorite since it's the most versatile.

Torment: Scared of going to Mexico because of all the gang and drug related violence? This is that Mexico you don't know and therefore fear. It's less spicy than what you'd imagine but the rabbit hole sinks deeper than you ever fathomed.

Bane and Torment were my favorite, but Grief was good.

So let's say they invented a machine that with 100% reliability could tell if a person was lying. Would using that in lieu of due process and jury trials be justified?

If I learned anything from watching Lie to Me, it's that just because you know someone's lying, doesn't mean that you know why.

Right, in this thought experiment we can assume there would be sentencing trials where extenuating circumstances, etc. can be considered, but isn't the root of due process and other similar protections under the constitution the fact that humans are fallible? So, given an infallible machine, is its rather than jury trials a good thing.

There are still defenses where people can be found not guilty even if the act happened.

You still decide whether or not someone is guilty. And if you decide they are not guilty, then in the most serious cases, they cannot be retried. What if you made a bad call? Woops, back to the jar you go, no way of consistently improve the judgment of the jury.

I'm not talking about the tactical realism of such a device but the philosophical reasons behind certain societal things. I'm not proposing such a device be invented nor even that it could but rather what it would mean if a device like that did exist and if the surety of justice it provided would be worth the erosion of privacy.
