@mhussy I only just heard of Monsanto now, but upon checking, it is popularly known as "the most Portuguese village of Portugal". This is definitely worth checking out. I am also into hiking, and October would be good weather for that kind of activity.

@endo These places on your map surely piqued my interest, thank you for sharing. Most interested in the Initiation Well and Santa Justa Lift.

@Dmart Do you know of a restaurant where you can enjoy fado music and pasteis de nata at the same time? Sending my thanks in advance!

@mclaincausey Your pal is really lucky to be an expat in this beautiful country!

That’s a stunning watch you have, @jeffrx. I have a small wrist and I like thinner watches. I used to own a hybrid smartwatch from Fossil, but now I wear a simple (and cheap) digital watch from Decathlon.

@Aetas said in What's your favorite Beer?:

This beer is from Brunswick.
Where are you and your family from @danyhearty ?

I'm staying in Norway, but my family and I are originally from the Philippines. Some family members moved to Canada.

@Dmart said in Portugal (PT):

@danyhearty I would say yes, but it always depends. Temperature should be around what you have mentioned, but I have been lucky and 25-26C in October. Water temperature should still be ok, around 18C. But yes, its not July/August sound and heat, so definitely bring some warmer clothes.

I hope I will be lucky with temperatures between 25°C to 26°C as well. You make a good point about being prepared for some cooler temperatures, just in case. Thanks for the tips on what to expect weather-wise.

I love the taste, but love them even more because they are gifts from family.

@mhussy said in Barcelona (ES):

Anyone been to Barcelona recently? Yes, I will be visiting Sagrada Familia and also might visit Camp Nou (a FC Barcelona fan here). Anything else should I consider? I am looking for things on Tripadvisor. I saw this thread and decided to ask here also. Any recommendations are welcome..

Sagrada Família is a must-see attraction in Barcelona, known for its unique architecture by Gaudi. Apart from this iconic site, Gaudi's other notable works like Casa Batlló, with its dragon-like scales, and La Pedrera, with its distinctive stone facade, are worth visiting. Additionally, lesser-known but equally beautiful buildings by Gaudi include Casa Vicens, Palau Güell, and Torre Bellesguard. When will you be traveling to Barcelona, @mhussy? I think your trip to Barcelona will not be complete without a soak on Barcelona’s city beaches that boast a 5km stretch of coastline.

@pmadison95 said in Stuff you want to buy/dreaming of:

I feel like I could type up an endless list lol for simplicity sake I would like to purchase a winning lottery ticket.

I share that wish too! Think of all the things I can get with that money.

@EdH How could they trust ChatGPT without verifying the sources? ChatGPT or any AI is not a reliable research tool.

@EdH said in This Blew My Mind!:

@danyhearty I don't think they realised that. The tech was very new at the time and I expect they thought it was generating text based on a search, rather than just operating as a glorified predictive text generator. I was in charge of writing our workplace's policy on Generative AI and the case of these two was very instructive.

Incidentally, I got ChatGPT to do a first draft and it was generally very good and came up with important clauses that I had not thought of. Honestly, it was good enough that I could have sent it out as it was if I wanted a summary "don't do x, y, or z" kind of policy, but I wanted to enhance it with a brief explanation of why each clause of the policy was in place. Definitely a useful tool to get a draft down on paper.

@EdH That’s very interesting to hear about your experience with writing a policy on generative AI using ChatGPT. I agree that generative AI is a powerful and innovative technology that can help us with various tasks, but we need to treat it more as a draft wherein we still need to verify its accuracy and also put our own style of writing to it.
