The advert at the bottom of this very page right now. I didn't mind the gorgeous AI models advertising underwear on Temu, but today's offering:

"For older men: stable balance shoe for everyday walking".

FFS. Is this where I'm at, now? Looking forward to incontinence aids, next.

I have "Walking shoe for elderly people with poor balance".

Jeez. I suspect the targetted ads have failed somehow and we're being offered generic demographic based ads. I mean, I know I'm 45 years old, but I'm not *that* old!

For me it's ... "Walking shoes for elderly people with poor balance"

Followed by ... "Paisley Witch Trials Walk"


I suspect one is sponsoring the other

Ohh FFS ... now they are on my page as well.

If you all stop talking about them, those scarpe will walk themselves away.

Let's talk about jam instead.
What do you like on toast?
I like runny poached eggs with grated cheese, and raspberry jam (but not both at the same time).

Fucking AI. If I ask them academic stuff, no worries. I get very well written stuff with citations and references, thanks very much.

But now I'm watching The Expanse. "How long could someone survive in a space suit if there's no oxygen supply?" First ChatGPT told me all about NASA space suits and the estimate was 25 hours (at rest). "No, that's not what I asked!" Cue apologies and an estimate of 2~3 hours before CO2 is a problem based on 1~1.5 cubic meters of air "Hang on, what's the average volume of a person?" Answer: 0.07 cubic meters (more depending on number of pies consumed). And then the penny dropped with ChatGPT that it done fucked up. New estimate, 6~7 minutes FFS, I'm doing all the work here!

Now consider ppl using AI and just taking the first answer that comes out. Really stupid ppl, like politicians...

My dog got attacked by a bull/pitbull terrier type yesterday and got badly bitten. Puncture wounds all over his head (missed his eyes thank goodness) His ear got badly punctured and elongated punctures at that thanks to the moron who owns the attacking dog trying to haul the dog off rather than loosening its jaws, plus puncture wounds in his neck one of which is a flap of skin about the size of a 50p piece.

I was so angry with the idiot owner who was frankly useless. He lives along the village from me, has absolutely no clue about how to train or control the dog. Refuses to take it to training classes because "it's too expensive" (it isn't, and he can afford alcohol and tobacco so fuck that). People have been saying it's an accident waiting to happen and it happened to my dog. He's not even phoned to apologise or ask how my dog is either. Oh and I got bitten on the wrist trying to separate them.

We were at the vets for about 3 hours while the wounds were flushed and checked most of which was waiting for the sedative to take effect. They tried to sedate him with an injection into a leg vein but be was too stressed and upset to allow that, so it had to go into muscle instead which took ages to take effect. He's had antibiotics and pain relief, plus a course of antibiotics for home along with dog co-codamol and metacam.

I did go to the police to report it today but as it was a dog that was attacked and not a person, they've referred me to the council's dog warden. I'll be speaking to him tomorrow and am going to ask for the owner and home to be assessed for fitness and an order that the dog be muzzled and on a lead in public in future. To be clear, it's the owner's fault entirely. He knows his dog is reactive to other dogs, saw me walking my dog as he was driving into his drive, waited until I'd just passed the house and then let it out of his car. No lead or harness. He'll be getting the vet bill and hopefully a fixed penalty from the warden.

Oh and I had to visit A&E to get the wound checked and some antibiotics prescribed.

I'm still furious about the whole thing.

So sorry to read what Happened to your Dog , And i hope the doggie will be oK. However you were Also Bitten so the Attacking Dog Needs to be put down No ifs or Buts , Had that been a Child or an OAP they could be dead, You need to get back to the Police and ask for Whoever is the Highest Ranking Officer in the Building to get the attacking dog put down. And before anyone jumps on Board i Love dogs and would not want any of them put down But this one has shown it cannot be trusted around any Animal or Human

If you went out hunting and instead shot someone, no one would say "that gun needs to be destroyed, it's clearly at fault!"
