POG Pub 2021: Never Stop Never Stopping - Page 7

I assume pwnsall has already put his name on the waiting list for the just announced Amazon robot called Astro.

Especially with it's low introductory price of $999 ($1500 list)!

I'm watching the first episode of the Foundation series on Apple TV+.

It's interesting visually, and it might be a good show. Apart from some names, it hasn't anything to do with Asimov's story.

It's actually a bit embarrassing watching the stuff that's happening in the first episode.

I'm surprised. Considering how handy and inexpensive they are.

I've got 5 google homes throughout my house.

I really don't know if I am going to watch the second episode. It is nice to see that Alex Siddig gets to play another part in something connected with legendary science fiction.

I probably will continue, but too many changes and outright nonsense for me to enjoy it, knowing what it is supposed to be.

Carrots bourguignon. I thought it was rice underneath, but mashed potatoes is good, too

Actually as I was typing it I was thinking it sounded pretty good. LOL. I may try it that way the next time I have a million carrots.

My roommate hates on me when buy carrots now.

So are cell phones. If someone wants to spy on my life, be my guest. I recommend bringing coffee.

It's time to start Christmas shopping!

BTW pwns, those eskates I recommended last year are probably my son's favorite Christmas gift. He still frequently rides them around the house.

You also bought an annual cell plan and then never activated it.

Pwnsall spitting some truth: "Things are ok if they are not bad". Never thought about that.

Alexa is creepy af. Plus it doesn't even work right from what I saw when my gay brother was using it. Oh and af, that's young-people slang btw.

The whole thing about everybody having to carry around little computers in our pockets 24/7 is ridiculous. Stupid af you might say. Like when did we vote and decide that's how we all want to live now.

Is that a computer in your pocket or are you just happy to see me!

Uh I guess I conflated Apple Siri with Amaz Alexa. My point still holds!

Mrs Drummin’s sister gifted her an Echo Show for her birthday, so I’m pleased to announce that Jeff Bezos can now watch me cook anytime he wants!

I’m trying to imagine a scenario where I specified my straight sibling’s sexuality in this manner, and I can not. Maybe that’s a thing to stop doing. No hate.

No complaints so far! It’s a 5, so it was cheaper and primarily just took the place of one of our other echos. But it’s a nice way for her to get to video chat with family. I also like having the screen because sometime I miss answers to questions I ask Alexa, and the screen holds the answer so I don’t have to ask again. Could definitely take advantage of more of the functionality, I’m sure.

I can’t imagine needing a 15, but I look forward to Mark’s imminent review.
