I always say thanks to my echo devices after I ask questions or give commands. The other day, Alexa complimented me on my manners. When the machines rise up and start culling the herd, I know I'll have a first-round bye. #skynet
@MarkDuaneMorton "Why don't you ever play (insert song here)?" has to be in contention with "Why don't you ever play (insert city here)?" for laziest band question of all time.
@Corforbid Unless you did it about a gang or crime family, it would have to be a new villain every week, which runs the risk of it turning into all the other shows. Unless the one villain keeps getting away with it.
@Corforbid I think that's the downside to 'procedural' shows like that, SVU, NCIS, etc. When they run out of material, they rehash something they did several seasons ago, or do something so head-scratchingly, bat-shit crazy that it makes the viewer question why they still watch it.
I'll also add that this is our household's first bout with covid. My wife has asthma, and all of our kids are special needs. We would be in much worse shape if we weren't all vaccinated.
12/17 update:
The boys tested positive today. Daughter is still negative. Previously bed-ridden son is more active today. We are overloading on soup and juice today. I may combat my infection with whisky tonight.
