    These days I have my own version of Alexa, but tbh it's not working out:

    "Anita, shuffle songs by James Taylor". "No, you're not spending the day listening to your crappy music, and what about that dripping gutter? I've been telling you about it since April"
    I just dropped in, to see what condition my condition was in

    Forget the past, it's gone. And don't worry about the future, it doesn't exist. There is only NOW.

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”


    ***SMILE, BE HAPPY***

    This is v2, the previous version had window fitting skills, which was handy... unfortunately the programmers thought that installing a tendency to go to the pub straight from work was a good idea. So I was left at home wanting me tea while she was out pissing away the wages

    My mates wife bought an Alexa (came with a free Dot) a couple of years ago. 3 days after arrival they both got a flying lesson from a 2nd floor window and were subsequently crushed by a couple of passing trucks. When his missus came home, walked in and said Alexa play X, my mate looked up and said you'll have to shout a bit louder coz they're somewhere out there and they're not coming back in.

    Alexa will have informed Amazon of your mate's cruelty just before they died, and I wouldn't be surprised if some of his Amazon purchases get "lost" in the post... I hear there is now an Alexa Sanctuary, where you can adopt abused Dots and ones left tied to railings. Some of these Dots have horrific tales to tell.
