I'm trying to help you so you're not banned.

If you want to keep insulting people, then fine go ahead. Looks like I was wrong earlier about giving you the benefit of the doubt. Hopefully you're banned (Y)

:no:

Need I remind you about the sarcasm you mocked me with earlier in this thread?

I hardly think it's very nice to go around hoping I'm banned, when I never said anything of the sort to you. Why would you hope someone gets banned?

What a train wreck of a thread, I'll not be taking part any more in here if people want to post crap and try to moderate.

Hope Bear recovers soon (Y)

Article .... THIS. IS. BEAR GRYLLS!

My sarcasm has nothing to do with the insults you are dishing out to others. Along with that I already explained to you I won't be warned over a joke. You will over an insult though. Regardless if it makes you act out, it should be the moment you walk away from the computer and stop posting in the manner you are.

Keep passing the buck though (Y)

Bear Grylls is trying to each tourists and travelers how to survive in certain life threatening and/or dangerous situations, not a test of how long he can survive.

Who cares if he sleeps in or out, he could be saving a human life and then the show was all worth it.

There lies the problem. Bear is in suck great shape and coupled with the fact that he has the support people with him allows him to take risks and perform physical tasks that would kill or injure (which in a survival situation = kill) 99% of people. For example jumping off a cliff into a pool of water, climbing into a crevice or running down a slope. The average tourist would die trying to do some of his stuff.

I believe his show to be primarily entertainment and that is okay. We need and like entertainment just fine. Educational though it is probably not so much.

Nah, I think he definitely aims his show more at hikers and such. It's not like someone's going to wander out of Wal-Mart and end up in the rain forest with no food or shelter. If you're a hiker, and you get in trouble, Bear Gryll's show might help you. It's also for the entertainment of average people though, to see him go to those extremes to survive.

It's a documentary... essentially. He tells you a few basic things about survival. And his credit is legit. He was in the special forces or whatever. I think if I were to be stranded on an island with Bear or anyone on this forum, I'd choose Bear. Simple as that.

Would that be the same island where he stayed in a motel?

I've always seen Bear Grylls shows as nothing more than entertainment, with a little education thrown in. Most of what he shows you'd NEVER remember as your brain is too busy focusing on the fact that he just ran down the side of a mountain or something equally silly.

If you want a show that actually TEACHES you the skills, especially how to light fires and forage for food, watch something like Ray Mears Bushcraft... All the info you need, without the dodgy stunts. Also, Ray always make it clear he has a crew with him, and that they take the right gear. Bear tends to not mention that stuff and so when the truth actually came out, he lost a lot of face.

LOL @ the digg comments.

what'd he fall off the hotel bed?
I heard this is the last season of Survivorman. The Discovery Channel needs to do a Les vs Bear special. Drop them in the same environment with the same materials and see who hang the longest before calling it quits

My money is on Les

I'm pretty sure Bear would win, unless the hotel runs out of hot water.

    • Hey Google, these are the Gemini features I want in 2026

      By Snake Doc · Posted

      I used a Pixel 10 Pro XL when it first came out for about 8 months. When I first got it, it was using Google assistant and that was fast, when asking it to call somone etc. Then it automatically switched with some update to Gemini. Doing even the simplist of things like asking it to call someone in my contacts was soooooo slow compared to Google assistant. I guess it had to go out to the cloud to do that? Back on iPhone and while Siri is dumb right now, it does do those simple things, like call someone, set a timer, star the stop watch etc, really fast. That an while I like Google Material Design 3 over iOS 26, they Pixel 10 Pro XL was so slow in comparison to the iPhone 17 Pro I am using.

      I use Gemini in my rotation of AI clients...that work pays for. It is good at most things, better than copilot for imgage searching and making images, worse at writing vs Claude and way worse at hadling technical issues when it comes to Azure stuff. I also use YT premium and maps. Anything else Google is a pass for me. I have now seen multiple people locked out of their Google accounts for reasons that are just very vauge.
    • Microsoft is building an AI datacenter that "uses less water than a fast food restaurant"

      By Ivan Jenic · Posted

      Microsoft is building an AI datacenter that "uses less water than a fast food restaurant" by Ivan Jenic Image: Microsoft Microsoft has announced plans to build a new datacenter campus in Pecos, Texas, as the company continues to invest billions in AI infrastructure. The new facility, called project Kilby, will reportedly have a capacity of 2 gigawatts and will be one of the largest single capacity additions in the company’s history. To power the campus, Microsoft signed a 20-year deal with Chevron to supply natural gas from the Permian Basin, America's largest oil field. This deal is set to become the largest collaboration to date between a U.S. oil and gas giant and Big Tech. It’s no secret that Big Tech has often been criticized for exploiting natural resources for its AI developments. Microsoft is trying to mitigate some of that negative consensus by promising to build its own power supply for the new datacenter, independent of the public grid. The Pecos datacenter will be powered by a power plant hub, built by Chevron, with up to 2.5 gigawatts of gas-fired capacity, with potential to scale to up to 5 gigawatts. The facility will include at least seven GE Vernova turbines, with first power potentially coming online as early as late 2027 or early 2028. The power plant hub is part of an approximately $7 billion investment by Chevron, making it one of the largest dedicated energy projects tied to a single datacenter campus in the U.S. Microsoft hasn’t publicly disclosed the amount it’s investing in the new datacenter. Microsoft has also committed to implementing a closed-loop cooling system that will only require an initial water charge to operate. The company said that “the total lifecycle water use of this datacenter is only a fraction of that consumed annually by a typical fast-food restaurant.” What the press release doesn’t mention, however, is how much water the natural gas plant itself will consume, or how a 20-year fossil fuel commitment squares with the company's pledge to be carbon negative by 2030. The construction of the new datacenter should provide over 6,000 construction jobs at peak build-out, and create hundreds of operational job roles once the facility is built. Via: Reuters
