Still not sure madmax is a person. In fact thinking not given other post in working away accomodation.

Agreed. Good spot. What is it then in that case, a social media bot or a chatbot? (A very brief bit of research has just revealed these - another school day!)

Agreed, was watching a little thing about GPT, I still don’t understand it of course, but his posts do smell of it.

If MadMAx is a person, they have a curious way of writing. Might be a translation thing but always about 3 line answers, nothing in detail, no insights that Google can't give you or chat that most people do - even things like asking questions for more information - all the posts are picking up a key word on the original post and writing about that. Struggles in posts where there are photos.... Hmm curious.

Yes maybe a person but English isn’t their first language or something. 
But it is interesting, this is probably the future now, never really knowing if the ‘person’ you’re interacting with is actually real or just an AI.

I like the way Hawthorn has a kinda blue flame

Always thought that nice blue colour came from all the embedded barbed wire and staples in hedgerow firewood 🙂

The 1st stage of burning hawthorn is the swearing and sharpening your saw after finding the wire and staples.

 

Invariably swear at yourself because you vaguely remember fixing that stock fencing as a child!.

Oak burns slow, throws cozy heat, and gives off that sweet aroma. If you're in the mood for a quick dance of flames, birch brings the party with its bright sparks.

Hello @Madmax. Could you satisfy our curiosity please by confirming what you are?

And they don't pick up on indirect replies at all .
