Hey Google !

The first time I used Hey Google, I said please, then after she complied I said thanks google, she said "It's not for nothing they say Canadians are polite"

My daughter was a bit embarrassed, " you don't have to do that dad". I had to learn how not to do it, but I sometimes still do it for fun.

Great source for anything.

It's a device that sits on my cupboard. You guys knew that, right? You're just kidding me.

Alexa is better looking...can tell by her voice.
Plus you don't have to call her "Hey"

Alexa is newer I think, because my daughter gave me her "Hey Google"

My MIL's sister called her one evening to tell her about the Google device her daughter had given her. As she was explaining how it worked she said the words "hey Google " and the call went on hold for about 15 seconds. When the device came back to our call, I could hear her daughter explaining what she had done. Then she did it again.

35 cubic feet is a bit over 1/4 cord of wood. That is a lot of wood

I turn Google/Alexa/Siri off on everything I own, but when I'm at my friend's house I like to ask Alexa who the richest man in the worlds is. It's my subtle middle finger to Bezos and his giant space phallus.

I have some smart switches installed and use 'google home' to control those lights. Frankly, it's cheaper and easier that wiring timers and three ways. My wife uses it to set multiple timers when cooking.

It's been several years ago when my buddy got his new phone that would search the web with whatever you asked it for.

So I told him to ask the damn thing "I need some P*ssy!" We laughed and he said no, I said c'mon man! Do it!

So he says into his new phone "I need some P*ssy!"

And the damn thing replied "Searching for local escort services"!
