2 years later, somewhere in their sales and marketing departments:
“Hey, you know what would make us even more money?”
“No, but do tell”
“Advertising”
“Genius - how is it nobody has ever thought of this before?”
Roku somehow thinking that the Ferengi rules of acquisition was a how-to guide book.
Jeff Geerling discusses having done the same, in one of his videos.
“This here’s the Lockpocking Lawyer, and today we’re going to take a closer look at the Flipper Zero….”
Now that’s a pretty cool bit of news :)
Interesting.
Will add that to my mental corkboard, thanks.
But Americans aren’t allowed to read the story anymore — by order of a court in India.
While the article starts out with what seems to be a decidedly “this is targeting Americans” bent, further reading clarifies that it’s a global thing, not specific to Americans at all.
🤔
Eisen meaning iron.
And Kot meaning vomit.
The phrase “zum kotzen” got burned into my memory decades ago.
A similar suggestion to the other poster:
Try relocating one of the troublesome units to someplace nearby but not mounted to the ceiling. The top of a bedroom dresser, the floor, a bathroom countertop, the top step of the stairs, halfway down the stairs, hanging from a wall (picture hook)… just get creative.
And since you haven’t mentioned it, I presume these are all smoke detectors? Do you have any heat detectors or carbon monoxide detectors installed?
“We have also developed a tomato which can eject itself when an accident is imminent.”
and what looks to be some sort of dried landlord repair fluid.
Not that the landlord needs to be really broken before you’re able to see the benefits of using the repair fluid.
For slightly broken landlords, don’t waste perfectly good repair fluid on them.
TIL, thanks
Big fan of douchecanoe. Been using it for many years.
I once dropped ‘douchecanoe’ in a convo with my manager in reference to someone we both knew outside of the company, without thinking. She gave me one of those “hol’ up - what did you just say?” reactions. New to her, she was amused.
“WHOA THERE DUDE! Geez, didn’t you see that paper cup being blown by the wind?? Totally saved your ass.”
I did that for one neighbour in one apartment complex where we lived. Her laptop sucked ass beforehand.
You just need to avoid Alderaan places.
True, there’s that :)
And of course there are those times that Alexa completely misunderstands. Neither my wife nor I know how it happened, but some months back we discovered “blow job” on our list.
“Alexa, add bananas”
“Alexa, 3 minutes”
“Alexa, add 30 seconds”
I think that’s just about everything I’ve ever used it for.
Oh no!
Anyway, how’s your weekend been going?
