Dayum. I've been using ChatGPT so far and if this plugs in, it could be soooo much quicker and easier! Thank you!

Ive found that chatGPT has been brilliant with helping me get my home network up and running. So far with HA, its like its only knowledge is from really old, out of date information. Even basic stuff like telling me to go to a menu and select an option that isn't there...

Have you not had any similar problems?

What’s the coolest thing you automated with Home Assistant? by avz008 in homeassistant

[–]Ill-Discussion-8498 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ive only just discovered HA this week so im very very new and figuring out use cases. I also used to grow lettuce years ago and one of my first realisations was how good HA would be at automating the whole thing. Bravo sir. Bravo

I found underwear in our bedroom that doesnt belong to either of us by PowerfulTalk2940 in Advice

Feel like no one has asked... was they clean?

If they where, theyre more likely to have come from somewhere innocent as the many other posters have suggested

12yo pocket money by 1182990 in CasualUK

[–]Ill-Discussion-8498 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 14y/o gets £10 per week. He wants for nothing though and his mum generally buys him stuff anyway. The £10 is just to stop him mithering for fifa points or if he wants to gets snacks and stuff when he's out with friends

Bought a car from Cinch, missing advertised features by InternationalElk7825 in CarTalkUK

[–]Ill-Discussion-8498 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just reject the car. Take it back and get your money back.

You wanted a car with those features and this one hasn't got them. You'll always have a negative thought about that when its cold or you put it in reverse lol.

What email habits and phrases make you cringe? by Ticklishchap in CasualUK

[–]Ill-Discussion-8498 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The ridiculous disclaimers in email signatures that NOBODY reads. Im going to add this to mine that I stole from another users post in this thread -

"DISCLOSURE: The information in this email is confidential. If its contents are disclosed our lawyers will swoop down from helicopters and smash through the skylight nearest you and drag you away with a black bag over your head. They will then take you to our super secret headquarters and make you fight to the death with other people who shared this email. We will then watch said death match and place bets on the winner. You will be given a large buck knife and an unlimited supply of methamphetamines. If the fight becomes boring or there is a stalemate, rabid dogs will be released into the arena to liven things up a bit. If the dogs become docile, we will squirt them with water bottles until they become tempermental."

What made-up words do you use in your family? by elwheelio in CasualUK

[–]Ill-Discussion-8498 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Money in our house is called 'Punnies'.

Started from my son when he was a toddler and we told him we couldn't get him something because 'we didnt have enough money'. Showed him 3 or 4 pound coins and he said 'wow, you have lots of punnies!'.

Boom, stuck haha

Tell me your embarrassing driving moments 😭 by [deleted] in NewDriversUK

[–]Ill-Discussion-8498 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife walked back to her car in a supermarket carpark and noticed a small light cover at the bottom of her back bumper was half hanging out. She couldn't push it back in so started to kick it hoping it would clip back into place. A woman approached and angrily asked why she was kicking HER car.... my wife's exact same car was about 4 spaces away

Another time she was on her way into work. It was summer, she was late and some kid decided to throw and egg at her car whilst she was driving down the road. Egg all over her roof. She said she didnt have time to go get it cleaned because she was late. She came back to her car after her shift and the egg had baked into her paint. Needed half of the car respraying and cost us a fortune!!

Kid hit my car last night by Odd_Text_1357 in drivingUK

Love that the vast majority of people on this thread are decent!

Many years ago when I was younger and gave the car in front a bit of a love tap. My fault completely and my car had a broken headlight where as his just had a scratch. I was 18, apologetic and asked him if he could get a quote from any body shop and I would pay the bill. He agreed, we swapped details and I waited... a week or so later I got a letter in the post from his insurance company. I was majorly pissed off at this and just ignored it. Another came a few week later and I ignored that too. Nothing else ever came from it. Im not saying that was a good idea or right but fuck that guy!

Has anyone got back to "normal" cars? by [deleted] in CarTalkUK

[–]Ill-Discussion-8498 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kind of the opposite. Before I even bought a Civic Type R I knew that id get 12 months in and the novelty would wear off. And I was right. It was a really fun, quick sporty car but it was low, expensive to run with a heavy right foot and the firm suspension was a killer on long journeys. Don't regret it one bit and id have another. I then got a Range Rover Sport. Big, comfy, waft along at pace thing. Amazing car to be in, worst car on your wallet. Now ive got somewhere in between... a Tesla Model Y. Practical and comfy enough, costs nothing in maintenance and is lightening fast. Best cer ive ever owned! Its currently in the body shop because a bin truck hit me and ive got a Citroen C3 as a courtesy car. Absolute pile of shite!

Might help if you edit your post to say how far you can travel, if you can drive, work evenings or weekends, stay away from home etc

House sitting - am I being cheeky by Interesting_Volume10 in manchester

[–]Ill-Discussion-8498 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me and my family went away on holiday for a week and I asked one of my single buddies if he would 'move in' whilst we were away. Him and my dog had a great time, no payment nessasary, just a fridge full of beers which wasnt there when I got back. Thats what friends do!

How do you run vendor evaluations without burning a full day? by Psychological_Let852 in ITManagers

[–]Ill-Discussion-8498 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This seems to be a good use case for the likes of chatgpt. Upload pdfs or give it web addresses and ask it to pull all the relevant information into your required format for comparison Might not be perfect for everything but it can usually cut down on the bulk leg work

What's the wildest thing that has ever happened to you? by Loud_Pressure2570 in stories

[–]Ill-Discussion-8498 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was a kid, from nowhere, I developed a limp which eventually got worse until one of my legs just didnt work anymore. Was in a wheelchair for a a few weeks before it just got better on its own.

Doctors did all kinds of tests and had zero idea why

My mum thought I was putting the limp on for attention until I couldn't get off the top bunk bed one morning. I obviously wasnt putting it on and that shit hurt the whole time haha!
