My dudes… Dr. Strange is my new neighbor!

She’s a veteran… but I’m kind of an animal so I figure it should be OK 😎

Also; 2 cats, one of which is definitely smarter than the average bear… the other, is orange.

In retrospect… yes.

I offered the story as a kind of parable (except not because I didn’t make it up) or random data point if you will, on pissing standing up.

I’m afraid I really have no answers for you… but then again I don’t think I’m your survey pool.

But I did once stay at a small hotel in Germany that had a sticker imploring male guess to sit and pee. I pissed all over that poor toilet before we left.

15 years later I feal guilt but also righteous indignation. I really hate being told what to do apparently… even when there are good reasons like another human being, asking you to not make their life hard 😞

Hopefully a few thousand of them were the ones responsible for making the website dog shit 😅

Comeon 0.0001%! Let’s get those last 5 people who know what an extension is but were holding out for…???

Yeah… These articles are like reading the tally marks on a prison wall. Let it go.

I remember when he bulldoze a bunch of people‘s vehicles… and part of me was like “Cool, riding an ATV in Central Park for fun probably should result in your vehicle getting crushed…” and the little voice in the back of my head says this is a bit over the top, even for a publicity stunt. 

Need to listen to that little voice more often 😅

We’re calling it Proposition #66 😉

Obviously you’ve never been… everything here causes cancer. We’re amending the law next year so we can just label everything that isn’t carcinogenic because it will substantially reduce the number of Prop 65 labels that end up in landfills ;-)

Try picking your front door… could be very instructive ;-)

Fine work you’re doing here… really hope I can hand a lend someday.

 

Anyone notice siri no longer recognizes common foreign idoms anymore? Either in TTS or Ask Siri… The only concrete example I have is recognizing “Croque Monsieur” since my love for hot ham sandwiches has spanned the ages… but I feel like there’s something more nefarious at work here.

It feels like used to be able to ask for a info about random foreign words and it would at least trigger a web search for something phonetically similar, which would often get me the translation I was after. But lately* the TTS engine is militantly transforming everything into English. Obviously this is more subtle and open to other interpretations, but for example I just asked her what “hikikomori” were which got interpreted as “Hickam Morty,” with top hits for the show Rick and Morty.

 

Not sure if I just haven’t noticed the standard disclaimer before or if it’s a new “feature” 😬
