I remembered when chat GPT first came out, the torrent of dweebs posting AI responses to questions as if they are interesting. One even tried to argue with me using a chat GPT response.

Hopefully, the novelty will wear off, and people will get the message that AI just isn't that interesting.

It's called a "money shift", and, assuming there isn't a gate or interlock in the transmission to stop you, you will massively over rev the engine, and destroy it.

There's a few videos on YouTube of it happening.

Basically sums it up really, although it's great fun to drop in and stir up shit every so often.

They're completely off the deep end though.

You then have a communication system that can be shut down by fog or heavy rain though.

It's slightly less stupid in interior applications, but data centre applications will almost always be better suited to wired.

I don't really see the advantage over a fibre connection myself.

I wonder if anyone's skated a wave before?

Oh, that smile.

Three years in, and Space Force still sounds silly.

It sounds like a lot more than the fender got bent then, what a stupid title.

Pretty sure this is the same with most vehicles, there's one piece of metal that goes the length of the roof.

Honestly, this just sounds like people out of touch with how expensive the repair process is.

I haven't run Linux myself, but I know people who have.

The Linux experience, from the outside, seemed to consist of solving problems that wouldn't exist if you just used the OS your computer came with, and being so very proud of your geek prowess, without having the self awareness to realise you're the one who broke it in the first place.

The cure seems to be growing up, having adult responsibilities, and not having the time or inclination to spend an evening un-fucking your computer.

 

This is the first day of our Doubtful sound trip, where we cross Lake Manapouri, and get ourselves and our boats across Wilmot pass and into Doubtful sound itself.

The pass does not connect to the main road network, so all vehicles using the pass must be barged across the lake, which is why we didn't simply drive to the sound.

This was the start of a two week trip in the sound.

 

This is the second video after we towed a boat across to Urapukapuka, and I think filmed the next day. From Urapukapuka, we paddled to Hole in the Rock, and stopped at deep water cove on the way back for lunch.

This was a trip we did a few years ago, paddling from Kaingahoa marae to Urapukapuka bay campsite. The kayak was loaded with camping gear, including a queen size air mattress, a tent big enough to stand up in, a chilly bin, and a whole second tent we used for storage.

The paddling distance was just under 3km, and took just under an hour.

 

This is a video I did a few months ago, on a rare dead calm day where our group was able to explore all of these caves.

The wave action against this stretch of coast is pretty intense, and this area is usually far too dangerous to explore in this way.
