The interesting thing about this chat AI, is how it evolves...
At the end of our discussion I gave it a nice solution (actually the BELL form the C128, a well proved code).
The AI acknowledged that it is a good solution (based on what?), but two days after still offering silly code when I ask the same question...

I believe the point of ChatGPT is not to give correct answers but to sound like the answers have been written by a real person. The fact that it's sometimes also correct is just luck.

I think that AI-powered language models like ChatGPT can be used to assist with tasks such as language translation and language learning, which can make it easier for people to communicate and access information from around the world. :thumbsup:

I just had a plump - and very dead - mouse dropped on my keyboard. Thanks Dij. 
I suppose he didn't kill anything yesterday, which was a good start. But if he'd just learn to drop them on a tiled floor, that would be a bonus.

from a vet site online: "The most fundamental reason that cats bring dead animals to you is because they are treating you as family, presenting the catch to their clan, and attempting to teach you to do likewise."
Most people already know this, it goes without saying. However, after reading this I wonder if my own cats wish I would go hunting and leave dead animals for them... 
They should be happy they have a safe home to go to after a long day's hunting, and that I feed them and take care of their medical needs, etc. I don't even charge rent.

So if you go deer hunting, should you present the kill to your cat?

Deer cat ...
Makes me think of What-A-Mess - although he is a dog, not a cat. In his first book, he took transgenderism a step further than most: He wants to be another species, or rather: tries to find ot which species he "really" is, really messing himself up in his attempts to be something else than the Afghan hound he was born as. When he falls asleep at night, in the last few pages of the first book, his mother sighs: Dear What-A-Mess. He hears it in his sleep, and that is the answer he has been searching for: He is really a deer!
(I most definitely prefer the books, being far more subtle, sophisticated in their effects. The animation movies are the way animations use to be: Lots of waving of arms and legs, i.e. forelegs and back legs, with sand and stones and humans and animals flying through the air, almost constantly. With the books, you get a chance to enjoy the super great drawings by Joseph Wright.)

I don't hunt anymore, but if I did, then I would share some with the cats and my dogs.

While we were encouraging one of our previous adoptee cats Michael that indoor food was A Good Thing, my wife would place bowls of food under the car, where he felt safe.
One day she was carrying laundry down to the basement, and found a thoroughly disassembled rabbit in the stair well. "Michael! Thank you, but that's a mess!" He was watching from beneath the car.
Next day she found a large field rat, not disassembled, with its tail wrapped tidily around the body. Rather Martha Stewart-esque.

Goedzo knows I'll take the mouse away, so he runs to his favourite safe-place - under my bed. And the mice are usually not dead. He let's them go and hunts again.
Sadistic murderers cats are. They play with prey for hours. And yes, mice scream. I know, since I heard them.

Last winter, the missus was down with some respiratory infection. I was finally dozing off just before dawn, having attended to her a few times through the night. I was awoken by her screams. She had got out of bed to go to the loo, and stepped on Sir Ringo's "get well soon" offering - half a warm dead rat on the carpet. I had a hell of a time cleaning it all up.

We live in a rural area and have had many cats over the years.
One used to bring in half rabbits and dismember the rest under the bed.
One used to bring in everything alive... mice, birds and even bats! I recall chasing a live bat round the bedroom at 3am and hoping to get it to fly out of an open window!
One of our current six cats sometimes brings in large rats, some over half her size, and doesn't always kill them first! Now it's a chase of a live rat round the utility room at 3am and hoping to get it out the back door before it find its way behind the washer or the fridge!
Oh, the joy of cat stewardship!

Agreed. Cats don't have owners, they have clients.

True story:
Once had a scorpion land on my keyboard from an overhead fluorescent lighting unit. It fell quite a distance so it was stunned when it landed. Picked it up by the tail and threw it outside. The building was relatively new and sometimes they can get into odd locations during construction. The calibration lab next door, had scorpions inside their electronic gear. They froze one (calibration labs use freeze sprayers as part of their tool kit) and put it a glass in the freezer. It stayed there for many days. It did not survive, though when thawed.

AFAICS, there is a filter by author but not by recipient. Just use the "advanced search" (click on the magnifying glass at the top right of the window), and follow the instructions.

You could check your notifications - I believe that's in date order so it should be a fairly simple process since they all start with "<membername> has posted ..."
[edit] Nope. That won't work. [/edit]
Were you looking for something in particular?

When I do that I only see the latest 5 or so messages. And when viewing them all it doesn't show who posted it. Is there some way to get all the messages in the notification popup?

Ah. You can tell I don't use them ... 104,291 messages waiting ...
I assumed that the layout on page was the same as the popup. Not sure why it isn't, really.
