We’re a Sonos family. Listening to Sonos right now as a matter of fact. But this really bugs me. I don’t allow voices control in my home so was interested when Sonos brought out their own version. I’ve contemplated rolling it out, but now likely won’t.

I’m 247.5 Oreo Cookies tall, that is many more Oreos than most, but not as many as some.

Thanks! My wife is a Soldier. We sometimes have interesting conversations about stuff like this.

Our government has completely lost its way. The Founders would be both appalled and ashamed.

I have read through book 10 twice. I have listened through book 10 once (currently half way through).

While I love Horatio Hornblower, I love Honor more.

I do not read science fiction. It’s just not my thing, but when War of Honor was published, Baen published it with a CD of all the prior books bound into the cover. I thought this was a cool thing to do and wanted to support it, so bought the book with no intention of actually reading it.

Well that plan didn’t work out.

You’ll discover as you get deeper into the series that even Honor knows she’s literarily related to Hornblower.

I was the first Red Hat Certified Engineer in the state of Oregon.

I have a Bedrock Realm that I play on my Series X and my laptop.

This relationship can be saved as long as the guy’s wife does not start expressing an interest in Emacs. That would, of course, put an end to the relationship, but if she’s one of those “Notepad is all I need” types, there is hope this can be worked through.

Did you let them know you use Arch?

My son just said the same thing. Game Freak are actually going to have to do some work!

Nintendo and Game Freak execs have wet dreams about developing a Pokemon game this interesting.

They haven’t iterated on their formula since the first game. The 3D version could have been a 2D re-skin.

I have not. I’ll check it out. Thanks.

I’m right there with you BC2 was the highpoint for me and absolutely nothing has scratched that itch since.

60yo here.

I spent the first 40 years of my life in Portland, OR (it used to be a great city). Then I married a Soldier and I’ve lived in several other places. We started in Denver spent two years there. It’s a fantastic city, but really expensive. Then we spent 3.5 years on Long Island, living in East Meadow, I hated how crowded it was, what the traffic was like. My wife has an 18 mile commute that often took 90 minutes. Then we moved to Fort Knox, Kentucky. We bought a house off post. The cost of living is much lower than other places we’ve lived. Our town is 2600 people. The people are polite and kind and our plan is after our next PCS next summer, to return here when my wife retires at 30 years.

You get a reply just because it’s the quality of your post

I’m 6’6", I’ve always wanted a dog that could put its paws on my shoulders and look me in the eye.

That dog looks like it could do that!

That is a really interesting anecdote I find it both surprising and completely understandable.

Gosh, thank you so much!

This is my answer also. I wish I was multi-lingual.

I’m regularly on calls with people for whom English is not their primary language. Almost without fail they apologize for their poor English. I regularly tell those people, “please don’t apologize, you do me that courtesy of communicating with me in my native tongue. I am completely unable to reciprocate that courtesy.”

I’d love to be fluent in Spanish, French, German.

Dig down, dig down, dig down, turn left, repeat.
