Alexa, We Need Guns

#1

Post by Vol Texan »

Your best option for personal security is a lifelong commitment to avoidance, deterrence, and de-escalation.
When those fail, aim for center mass.

Alexa has already reported them. Alexa is programmed to know all.

Have no desire to bring "Alexa" into my house, but if I had one, every morning would begin with "Alexa begin the Self Destruct Sequence, Code 1 A1 1A 1 1 Authenticate"
Just for my own personal amusment!

I have one. My wife gave me on for Christmas 2 years ago. I have yet learned how to use it. It's not heavy enough to use as a boat anchor so it doubles as a paper weight in the back of my drawer.

I think so, but it could be the code to shut down the magnetic bottle around the matter-antimatter reactor, I forget sometimes

LOL, She really does say that. I find it pretty funny that they have developed AI with a sense of humor. I have been living with Alexis for a while now. She does a pretty good job keeping an eye on my home, doesn't climb on the furniture. nor pee on the rug, although she might be telling tales about me to strangers.

I did not know they did that, but I love some of Siri's answers. Ask her what 0 divided by 0 is. That is one of my favorite answers.
