That connector is for š—¶š—»š—½š˜‚š˜, not output. It makes no sense, because I can’t imagine someone wanting to feed audio š—¶š—»š˜š—¼ such a crappy speaker. I’m sure the reason it doesn’t instead have an output jack is that Amazon wants to pretend that it has adequate audio quality and that no one would want to connect…

* The Amazon Tap lacks the A#1 most important feature of the Echo, which is voice control. * The sound quality is terribleā€”š˜·š˜¢š˜“š˜µš˜­š˜ŗ inferior to the Echo. And, unlike the late, lamented Echo Dot, it has no audio output jack so you can’t get around the bad sound problem by using external speakers. * It should be…

ā€œwithout meltingā€ā€”I didn’t know there were any thermosetting cheeses. I guess I won’t be 3D printing with this one!

dank (adjective): disagreeably damp, musty, and typically cold

You can get a lot of ā€œexperiencesā€ out of a large TV, surround sound, and a good Blu-ray collection.

To clarify: mon-goes, not mong-goes or some other variation.

Maybe there’s something weird about my browser (an old version of Chrome on an old Mac), but that GIF appears as flashing green & purple bars that don’t seem intended to represent ā€œnon-traditional designā€ unless the designer was on psychedelics. That’s why I thought you were playing games with us. If it š˜øš˜¢š˜“ā€¦

Having to unlock your iPhone screen (or, leave autolock off) to use the remote is a definite minus. Sometimes, dedicated devices are just the way to go.

Actually, that was just a way of saying that I didn’t understand what the hell it is while trying to hide my ignorance. It does have some deep significance, right? Right?

An irritating animated GIF as clickbait—how low we’ve sunk. Or am I missing some deep significance?

A- since you’re mistaken about the position of the period being an error (see below).

Regarding the period inside the quote, that’s a stylistic difference, not an error. Americans put it inside, Brits (like myself) put it outside. I don’t generally champion language purity, but the subjective/objective case error and the misplaced possessive apostrophe are too egregious to accept.

Can’t you save posts like this one until at least the late afternoon?! Now my stomach is going to be growling all day, and I’ll probably be spitting on my colleagues from excessive mouth watering.

Garlic salt is an abomination, along with its constituent garlic powder.

If you’re talking about frozen, as opposed to delivered hot, pizzas, then people who have only toaster ovens rather than full-size ones. Also, if you shop at Costco, their Kirkland four-packs of small pizzas are cheaper (by weight) than the large single ones.

It seems that most people these days can’t even use apostrophes (no, it’s not ā€œapostrophe’sā€) correctly, so I don’t hold out much hope for math skills. And don’t get me started on abominations like ā€œThe pizza looked good to John and I. It’s crust was nice and thickā€. (Can you spot the two common errors?)

I would definitely like to have ā€œShake the Futureā€ on my team—this guy’s great!

Bitter is bad?
