    My mother’s the one using an Alexa, and I side eye the thing.

    I would love a voice activated timer for baking though. Is that a thing without it stealing all my precious info?

    Precious info is mostly that I listen to country music while home canning.

      I was at a friend’s house recently, and they had an Alexa. I didn’t know where the bathroom was, so on a whim I said: “Hey Alexa, where’s the bathroom?” It directed me to the nearest public bathroom, which was in a prison 4 miles away.

        Is she… petting Fish? That’s like, if in the middle of Karate Kid, Mr. Miyagi and Daniel just had a cuddle session with no preamble or context.
