if your too hot in the summer turn off your fridge, they emit a lot of heat![]()
A lot of these kind of measures will delay the heat, but then trap it in for longer unless you get a good through breeze going.

I ask chatgpt to do silly things, like take Bond through an American drive through in reverse.

Chat gpt is doing great things helping me with my university course.
Whilst I don't rely on it to generate a whole assignment for me, it's very powerful in giving me ideas, testing a structure, guiding me to data sources and giving feedback on a draft piece of work.
I use it like a sounding board. I type in the question and see what it produces, then I probe it for more detail in the direction I want my assignment to go, feeding off it incrementally to improve my work.
I can see why universities are worried about it.
AI Mode is a new, intuitive way to address your most complex, multi-part questions and follow-ups, and satisfy your curiosity in a richer way. Using a custom version of our latest Gemini 2.5 model, it lets you ask nuanced questions that would have previously required multiple searches.
..
For example, you can now ask questions like: “Things to do in Edinburgh this weekend with friends. We’re big foodies who like music but also chill vibes and exploring off the beaten track.” Or: “How do migrating birds know where to go?”
A small sheep instead of a lawnmower is actually a clever and viable idea in many cases — it's been done for centuries. But there are both pros and cons:
- Eco-Friendly: No petrol, electricity, or emissions.
- Fertiliser: Their droppings naturally fertilise the soil.
- Low Noise: Much quieter than a mower.
- Cute & Calming: Some people enjoy their presence.
- Self-Replicating: With more than one, they may breed.
- Biodiversity Bonus: They help create a more natural habitat.
- Useful Byproducts: Wool (if a woolly breed), meat (if that's part of your goal), or even milk (with some breeds).
- Zoning or Legal Restrictions: Some councils or neighbourhoods won’t allow livestock.
- Care Needs: They need fresh water, shelter, worming, hoof trimming, and occasional vet visits.
- Overgrazing Risk: One small sheep might not keep up with fast-growing grass, or might destroy a small lawn by eating everything.
- Fence Damage or Escapes: They can escape if fencing isn’t solid.
- Droppings: Constant fertiliser isn’t ideal if you use the lawn for lounging or kids playing.
- Winter Care: You still need to feed them when grass isn't growing.
- Initial Cost: Not massive, but buying and setting up a proper enclosure and shelter does cost money.
Good Compromise Ideas:
- Miniature Sheep (like Ouessant sheep): Small size, perfect for small plots.
- Rent-a-Sheep Services: Popular in France and the U.S.; you get the benefits without year-round responsibility.
- Goats: Sometimes better grazers for certain terrains, but often more destructive and escape-prone.
Bottom line:
Yes, you can swap a lawnmower for a sheep — if you're up for the care. It turns lawn maintenance into light animal husbandry. Great for some, not ideal for all.
Would you like suggestions for specific small breeds or how to set it up in a UK garden?

Question to chatgpt? Why not a sheep instead of a lawnmower?
Felt rushed and had a few mistakes. Definitely an incremental upgrade that likely won’t change anything material. Developers are still going to pick Claude, which is a large chunk of the paid market.I thought the v5 demo was pretty naff. The whole thing felt super awkward. The tech demos were unimpressive. They talked about improving its memory but didn't really demo it. The bar charts they used were ridiculously bad. The only thing I thought looked good was the voice feature. Are we seeing GPTs nearing their peak or are our expectations just really high?

Anthropic is so far ahead in the developer space. Whenever I try the other models it's jarring how bad they are.Felt rushed and had a few mistakes.
