True, there's that :)

And of course there are those times that Alexa completely misunderstands. Neither my wife nor I know how it happened, but some months back we discovered "blow job" on our list.

"Alexa, add bananas"

"Alexa, 3 minutes"

"Alexa, add 30 seconds"

I think that's just about everything I've ever used it for.

I found the whole experience liberating.

I recently learned that in NZ they will give you a breathalyzer test if you've done something such as have a vehicular collision or been speeding at something like 140 km/h in a 100 km/h zone. Even if you're a cop on highway patrol duty; you get in a crash, another cop has to administer the test.

Yeah, that works because of the 'z' I would say.

I'm having trouble finding another word that rhymes but still uses an 's' and not a 'z'.

I guess there's 'choose,' but visually it looks closer to 'loose'. Which would just confuse the people we're trying to give clarity to.

And lose rhymes with no-

Er.

Let me get back to you on that.

This came up in my feed today:

Sharing, in case it's useful at all.

Dunno about "usually". Our last house was fairly nice, but didn't have this sink feature. That said, you could walk around and see where the builder went for the cheapest option available.

That said, this kitchen sink feature should literally be the absolute minimum for consideration.

Dude needs to get with the program.

Use a single plate, cup, knife, fork, spoon, lot, pan. Never unbox the rest.

Either that, or just eat over the sink.

It really comes down to apps.

The only flag you mentioned that caught my attention was Word and Word templates. I've not tried Word templates.

I figure your options are either Libre Office or something cloud based, eg, Google Docs.

One thing you could try is to set up a VM or boot a live CD (USB) and try on the things that most concern you.

"But the loaf of bread has incredible healing properties"

"Oh!"

"Except when it's moldy, at which point it's a mild poison. And it's a bit moldy."

"Oh."

See also "fell into a hole".

Very true, and along the lines of what I was thinking.

But it wouldn't surprise me if there were a way to establish a voice print. In fact, isn't that already a thing? Even if it is a little rough around the edges, it wouldn't surprise me if we were even closer to a higher reliability than thought.

With or without that, consider the copyright infringement suits for someone wanting to protect their song, melody, or whatever. Someone could poke at the 8 keys of a toy piano, and if a music artist's legal team felt it sounded close enough to the original? The ol' beatdown-by-seeking-damages trick if not a cease and desist order.

Anyway. If someone has enough money and too much time, they'll make a case out of anything.

Man, I misunderstood the headline. I thought the AI had created a likeness of her voice, and SJ was going after them for that.

Which begs the question, just how unique are our voices? There's being distinct, and then there's being literally one of a kind.

My prep would be to meet in a field of gopher holes. And hope for the best.

That's it. That's my plan. Which is to say, no plan at all.

As a Canadian, thanks for giving me flashbacks to years of French studies :P

Okay that's pretty awesome 😎

That's pretty crisp. I'd use it as well.

I'd like to see vi.

Coming to you on Adult Swim.
