GPT4 needs a little nudging from time to time. It’s getting a little lazy, which to be honest, makes it hard not to anthropomorphise the thing.

@Winger I'll ask my SIL as she has one for an overactive kelpie that used to run off into other paddocks.

Thanks.

The dogs are not too happy too now as they love their walk / run (and swim in the small lakes) every morning so really want to find a solution

Just spent 8 days in St Lucia watching my son play cricket for 4 of them (supposed to be 5 but rain killed one day).

Nice to be in the heat again for a while, a real joy having the opportunity to do this. They won all their matches, my son didn't play anywhere near his best (which tbh isn't that high) but he got stuck in and kept on trying. Managed to bowl the only maiden of the entire tour which I think is something he could be proud of. His last spell was crazy. Got tonked for 6 on his first ball, then bowled 4 dot balls followed by a wide. Next over the maiden. Last over he didn't get hit for runs again, but his last 2 balls were wides as he was knackered.

Anyway got to know a few other parents a lot better (some good, some absolute English posh dickheads), drunk a few pitons, did 6 hours on the treadmill in total & had a cracking day out on a catamaran. Also ready 2 Ant Middleton motivation books as I'm struggling to get my shit together at the moment from a macro point of view, so that was good.

Holiday for the soul, this one.

See GOM for further thoughts.

Cheers fellas, all I needed to know really. Appreciate that. I certainly don't ever see me using much more tha I do.

@Smudge I genuinely fucking hate that song. Hate it.

I remembered seeing this Hacker News post at the time. Nice to get a follow up:

Looks like fun

Probably the most expensive slides in the world haha

Hilarious, and should be completely illegal, that Spark in NZ is trying to rip off old people for NZ$6/month to maintain their basic email account. What a scumbag company, what a non-existent commerce commission and competition regulator NZ has.

Agreed. Having everything in menus looks fucked to deal with

Lover, Stalker, Killer

Almost too fucked up to be believable.

Be careful who you hook up with online is all I can say.

Well made doco.

@booboo said in Philosophy:

To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we've ever known

This line hits hard - we pursue so many pointless things like war, money, and prejudice, when we could be putting our collective intelligence toward so much more.

@Rancid-Schnitzel said in WWE Network:

The Vince stuff is insane. Listened to Jim Cornette and he reckoned it was the drugs and all the other shit that eventually effed with Vince's mind. Not that the guy wasnt a very odd fish to begin with. Very sad that this will be his legacy because he built something pretty damn extraordinary

Yeah but have a look at any interview with pretty much any wrestler from the 80s. They either don’t mention Vince or they go on about what an arsehole he is. None of this is really too surprising.

Not sure about that. Plenty who hate him but still have (Or had) huge respect. There's a difference between being an arsehole to wrestlers and sex trafficking.
