Can’t tell, Alexa doesn’t laugh with subtitles.

The Amazon Echo, Echo Plus, Show, etc also have a fairly recent capability that allows them to be put into groups where they can synchronize playing music throughout your house like the Sonos does, but a bit cheaper. The sound quality is good enough for me. It’s a pretty awesome capability. And you can then control…

The throttling is based on the condition of the battery. When you replace the battery, it will detect that and no longer throttle. That’s how someone originally determined that this was occurring - they replaced their battery and suddenly the phone got a lot snappier.

Your opinion is good and you should feel good, because you are wise.

If the ACA had never come into existence, you would likely have had an even greater than 400% increase in premiums. The rates (and health care costs in general) were going up no matter what.

It’s becoming common to skip the 9 series, because you know 7 ate 9.

Oh yeah but at least our uniforms were fabulous.

Yes, but it turns out that WMDs were actually Water Colored Motifs of Dogs. If only we had known sooner.

One time my cat, who ordinarily doesn’t particularly like water except to drink it from the faucet or his water fountain, decided to get in the bathtub behind me while I was taking a shower. When I turned around and saw him just sitting there in the tub behind me while the shower was going full beam... I was a little…

It’s just missing a delicious crust.

Maybe it’s just that Putin is done with Trump (especially if he doesn’t veto the sanctions bill) and told his pal Rex that it was OK to leave.

Amazon’s Alexa has interesting responses to all of these as well.

Also, breaking news just now:

I don’t think he even gives a shit whats in the Senate bill. If it passes, he will lie about it and spin it to be the greatest thing ever. It doesn’t matter to him as it will get put in the win column.

I was confused by this, so did a little searching. He was in the stateroom which was damaged pretty badly. See the pic below. He’s definitely luck to be alive.

You quite certainly have some NYC renter’s bias. As it happens I also rent, but I rewired all of the switches with z-wave ones (which I will take with me when I move). I also have Philips Hue and an Internet enabled thermostat. I can control all of these with my voice through the Echo. I can even tell it to lock my…

If the justification for the travel ban was so they could take 90 days to improve vetting (which is already extensive but anyway), that 90 days that has long since already passed. Why do we still “need” the damn travel ban?

Lovely country you have there. I hope to visit more of it some day.

You can put Vienna, Austria high on this list. When I was there, Summer before last, alcohol was served almost everywhere and I saw walking around with it, chilling near parks/fountains, and even on the subway. Upon checking, Austria has no open container laws, and in Vienna at least, everyone enjoys it.
