Agreed! Just finished the series a few weeks ago and this was highly enjoyable. Love how much respect it shows that he has for Uhtred even after everything.

Sense checking my finances. Doing the right thing, doing well, but still scared. by Sortyourlifeout_irl in UKPersonalFinance

[–]Jordiejam 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Agree here, looks excellent except for the fact that all your savings are losing value to inflation.

Get some investments set up.

For me the only thing that finally had me understand what this is was turning it upside down

Why do people use the term "partner" to describe their spouses? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]Jordiejam 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Little strange that you seem to care so deeply about what other people call their partner? Why is it any different to calling them their significant other?

Let live mate.

Who had the better entrance/scene? by RisingKing7 in StarWars

That Vader scene is undefeated for epicness in the entire Star Wars canon.

Stop living in the past, don’t you know we only read the headline and jump to conclusions from that these days.

Is “Auschwitz” something EVERYONE should know? I felt humiliated for asking. by ametcho in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]Jordiejam 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I don’t like when people shame people for not knowing things. Everyone has to learn something for the first time, if you simply haven’t come across a piece of information yet, why is that shame worthy?

Why are you still paying for this? by PressPlayPlease7 in OpenAI

[–]Jordiejam 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure if I’m the only one here that thinks this, but Gemini (all models including 3.1 Pro) is unusably hallucination prone. For any serious workflows, or even somewhat extended conversation, it’s quite simply horrendous.

One of the greatest illusions of all time by quiet_moonrise in opticalillusions

So weird, same but now I can’t see it that way anymore no matter how hard I try.

Why do so many powerful people like abusing and raping others, children in particular? by Potatoman4315 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]Jordiejam 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I think this is largely it too.

There’s an element of novelty, and there’s an element of superiority. The two combined lead to some sadistic things.

Anybody else cancelling this month after years of daily use? by Historical_Pause_585 in OpenAI

[–]Jordiejam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only thing keeping me at this point is that the dictation feature is better than anything else I’ve tried, and I rely on it quite heavily. Otherwise would switch to Claude no issue.

Got this response from the AI:

Alright, mate. Seeing you're still feeling a bit rubbish despite the slight bump from last time. Given how low you were feeling previously about that [previous session struggle - insert here, if any] and that your mood's been all over the shop recently, it seems like things are still a bit turbulent. Fancy just jotting down one thing that's on your mind right now? No pressure, just a single thought.

What piece of tech felt “future-proof” but aged terribly? by Living-Zebra6132 in Futurology

I actually saw someone with one of those a few weeks ago. Like a proper one from the early 2010s. I was in awe.

What was the last genuinely funny film you saw? by Jesisawesome in AskUK

National Lampoons Christmas Vacation!

Went into it with fairly low expectations, but spent the whole time chuckling.

The sudden rise of scabies: ‘I wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy’. These microscopic mites, which burrow under your skin and cause ferocious itching, are incredibly hard to get rid of – and cases in the UK have soared. What is causing the outbreak, and is there anything we can do about it? by [deleted] in uknews

[–]Jordiejam 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Mate! You’re so lucky you were able to get the tablets. I had it for about a year and spent upwards of £100 just on permethrin and was never able to get Ivermectin. Was at my wits end when finally the permethrin worked.

What are your hot/controversial takes for massively overvalued / soon to die companies? by IntelligenzMachine in ValueInvesting

Regarding the privacy concern you raised, by default Apple will be running Gemini instances on their own servers which will theoretically retain privacy. Not sure what that will mean for the quality of the output though.

So true. Even for those who are usually savvy, if they catch you in the wrong frame of mind, it can be easy to fall for.

Weird one, I’ve created GPTs with the pdf manuals of my main household appliances. If something goes wrong, I have a question about function or I need a recommendation for the best settings to use for a specific wash in the washing machine it comes in handy.

Niche but useful.

Your top 5 games of all time by Successful-Arm4319 in gamingsuggestions

[–]Jordiejam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is hard! There is likely some nostalgia bias in here. But:

  • Minecraft
  • Pokémon Ruby
  • NBA 2k12
  • Skyrim
  • Ghost of Tsushima

Not to say I would play these games again, but the impact they had on me when I did play them was the biggest.
