Mount Gower climb on Lord Howe Island - 875m elevation gain in 3.8km - so about 23% average incline. Absolutely stunning views of the entire island.

The ropes were very handy!

If there are no places to ski then its also a no from me!

If you were thinking of taking a holiday in the US or going to the World Cup, think again.

Looks like an amazing place! Hope you enjoy your second, slow, visit.

Some great hiking, short and steep with incredible views. Much better than cold and wet 😆

😁👍👍

Not difficult to get to, about 2 hours flight from Sydney, but can be difficult to get in. There is a limit of 400 visitors to the island at any time, so you generally need to book well in advance to get your accommodation.

It's a stunning place.

Must be the very generous wife of a Nigerian prince!

We just arrived at Lord Howe Island for a week of hiking and snorkeling!

It's a remote Australian subtropical island.

Now that's a stacked tostada!

So an AI social network called Molt (thats a social network site for AI bots, not for humans) developed its own religion including its own prophets, and has already suffered a schism through their first heretic. I'm amused and also slightly alarmed 😅

So happy for you guys - and it seems that the gods were making extra waterways to help you explore the world!

Sounds great! Nothing like hanging your shirts and jeans up on a coat hanger! 😄

So picking up "a" boat or "your" boat?

Agree - we love Oxford. Such a fun place.

Some amazing ones there!

Lol - he is absolutely a treasure - but hey, share him around. Global Treasure is appropriate 😄

The Brexit voting, foreigner hating, Farage worshipping shit gibbon I imagine.

Very tasty world indeed!

Like digging ‘your own professional grave’: The translators grappling with losing work to AI | CNN Business While workers worldwide ponder how artificial intelligence might affect their livelihoods, there’s one sector where that question is no longer hypothetical. Machine translation has reduced the amount ...

While I feel empathy with the individuals, it really is an unstoppable technology shift. Historic examples of this kind of shift are many, like the disappearance of blacksmiths when cars replaced horses.

I can only imagine 😅

I often see social media posts about Australia's early morning culture in certain areas - this one really showcases that. The showers and toilet block at Manly Dam (popular simming & kayaking venue) open at 4.30am 😮

Not for me. I love it and can't wait for them to roll it out onto the Gemini free platform (at the moment its only opt in on paid subscriptions). Being able to wrangle relevant information out of 20 years of Gmail, and Google photos & docs that is specific to me is my ideal of what AI should deliver

Love it! I'd get one for sure!
