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.
Alexa was actually a precursor to Mata Maid.
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.
Maybe they should have. Too many people are alienated from loving, platonic touch.
