My therapist. 🤯

The more I seem to put out there, the more I give the world and people in my sphere, the more they take. Makes sense…

But equally, the more I give, the less I’m offered and therefore the less I receieve.

It’s a shit equation.

The Rabbit r1 AI gadget was one of the highlights of this year's CES event in January. At the time, I said the gadget almost convinced me to spend $…

The buzzy new Rabbit r1 is basically just an Android phone, and I’m glad I didn’t get one

It looks like a cheap bit of plastic, and still to this day, it makes no sense as a product to me considering the vast majority of people carry a phone on their person, which has a plethora of “smart assistants” options…you don’t even have to stick to the inbuilt one…

Couple of screenshots of crazy bait balls from yesterdays lake session. Super thick white bait being cut apart by tailor.

Took the lad out fishing on the lake today, caught a few tailor and a solid flathead. Marked a couple of new spots too, keen to give them another try and see if they’re as productive…
