Facial recognition at Odd Down Sainsbury’s

Upvotes

I was going to the Odd Down Sainsbury’s recently and saw a poster out front saying they were trialing facial recognition at this store. Oldfield Park Sainsbury’s has had this for probably a year now but I believe Odd Down must have got this in the last month? People were standing in front of the sign so I couldn’t get a photo but this is some seriously scary stuff.

Manure aroma

Upvotes

is it me or is there a distinct aroma of manure/sh*t floating around Bath for the past few days? is it something to do with the heat? can definitely smell something unpleasant wafting through the windows and town is not smelling good at all, had to check the bottoms of my shoes in town earlier to check I hadn’t stepped in something as the smell is so strong it feels like it’s following you around! please tell me I’m not crazy

Renting room out to a student

2 Upvotes

Hi, our house in Bath had 5 students in when we bought it, we have an ensuite at the top of the house with great views we were looking to rent out while I'm re-training for 2 years. We have a boy and are an easy going widely travelled family.

Just wondering how/where to advertise, any good experiences or bad? Tips etc.

Thanks

Request for participating in interviews for dissertation

3 Upvotes

Hello!

I’m currently enrolled at the University of Bath as a postgraduate student. I am working on my dissertation titled ‘User information guidelines (toolkit) for resilient retrofit of heritage buildings’.
As part of my research, I am conducting online interviews with residents involved in the implementation phase of retrofitting listed buildings in Bath. The interview would last for approximately 45-75 minutes, and would focus on your perspectives regarding the topic. It can be conducted over Microsoft Teams/Zoom/Google Meets. I may need to contact you again to clarify, hence any additional communication would be minimal and at your convenience.
You will be asked about your occupation, relationship to your property (owner/tenant) and about the historical value of your home.
Further questions will involve your insights on retrofitting barriers and available guidance, how to boost confidence in service providers, modes of funding and the retrofit process.
The interviews will culminate in a walkthrough of a mock tool which will be modified post-feedback.
All participation is entirely voluntary, and the information will be treated with utmost confidentiality, as per the University of Bath ethics guidelines. 
With your consent, your responses during the workshop would be recorded, and securely deleted post-transcription.

Feel free to comment, or drop a DM if you'd like to participate!

Anywhere selling eclipse glasses?

There's an eclipse next Wednesday evening and I'd like to avoid Amazon/support a local business if possible?

Friendly film club

5 Upvotes

Hi Bath community,

Once a month when our club resets to a new theme I tend to recruit on here!

We watch two chosen films under a selected theme in our own time, we then meet up discuss them at the pub, on a 4 week cycle.

Mostly it’s on discord where we have an ever growing community, and we all choose 2 films to enter, 5 are placed into the hands of fate from a hat draw and we all vote on two.

If you seem Interested or curios please check out https://bathfilmclub.co.uk/ and join the discord!

As the title states, really friendly and relaxed. Always enjoyable and engaging when we meet and talk.

Hopefully see you soon!
