Thanks...now I'm acutely aware of the spit in my mouth and when I swallow it.

Honestly, nothing yet. I've only been playing with it for a few weeks. I just use the web interface on my phone to test the voice control. I've been looking at the esp32 devices that people have been building, but a lot of them admit that they can't come anywhere close to the reliability of the microphone array used in the Alexa.

And this is exact the reason I'm building a Home Assistant instance with local voice processing. Right now it takes a few seconds to process a request and take action on my crappy 1.8ghz laptop with only 4gb of RAM, but it basically does everything I use Alexa for. This announcement is just encouraging me to build a better server with an esp32 satellite.

It's not that anything would eat an alligator that's the problem. Plenty of things will eat an alligator, as long as it's dead. It's taking down a live alligator and swallowing it whole that's concerning.

Are you sure about that?

Because he says both.

Simple. You lie when questioned. Consistency is for other people to worry about.

I bought during the height of the housing frenzy in Canada in 2021. Putting any condition on the sale meant that you wouldn't get the house. I found a few issues but took the chance anyways. As soon as the sale went through, I got an inspector in to check out everything I found. I got lucky for the most part, but there were a few things that he found that I didn't. It's better to know these things and plan for them than to be oblivious.

Get the inspection. It's not weird at all. They are all aware of the current situation.

And everyone will still call it Twitter.

Wanted to play some games, didn't have money but I did know someone that knew someone that knew someone that ran a BBS that had some pirated games.

Yes, I'm that old.

Don’t be a completionist.

But how do I avoid feeling that horrible sense of emptiness? It's not done until it's 100%...

Yeah, but then they moved all the factories to other countries. The public is now just a burden to them for wanting corporations to pay their fair share in taxes.
