I already live in NZ ๐Ÿ˜†

We had to travel to Iceland to find something that was sufficiently more impressive than what we have at home.

Funnily, a lot of people thought that the pictured Wharariki Beach was actually the (somewhat) similar looking Cathedral Cove, half the country away.

I haven't actually seen the former in person, but it's quite a trek from civilisation. Someday.

Except that people are also visiting it for real (this article posted a couple of days ago):

Considering when I first upgraded to a phone that included it, Gemini was incapable of setting a timer, I do not have high hopes for this.

This is to say, when I told it "set a timer for X minutes" it produced a UI on the phone that suggested it understood I wanted a timer, but failed the critical step of actually setting the damn timer. I immediately switched back to assistant, as there's really no coming back from a fuck-up that comprehensive.
