You definitely need a four-digit to be someone. The fives weren't even invited to the anniversary party. My life's greatest mistake was remaining AC in the early months. Oh the pain...
I'm old, and I play Fortnite frequently. The real concern with Fortnite is that people will spend much of the time they used to spend on other apps playing Fortnite instead, not about it doing what the other apps do. The CEO of Netflix recently said something about being more concerned with competition from Fortnite than with other streaming services, but he was talking about it stealing attention.
If you say "torus", too many Americans will think you are hitting on the them or talking about an old Ford sedan (Taurus). Besides, I can't imagine that a torus tastes as good as a doughnut.
My biggest problem is that I can't remember what skills to ask for and Alexa isn't much help. Until the apps just kick in when you need them, they aren't going to get much use. Even if I could remember their names, who wants to say "Alexa, open plumbing helper.", then have to listen to a bunch of intro and then try to remember what you can say inside the app. Anyway, I do use Alexa for intercom and home automation (with and without SmartThings) every day and those bits are pretty killer.
Heck, I was probably thinking more of the good ol' days of Gopher. I recall first using Mosaic and thinking it was kind of cool, but no match for the speed of Gopher. I still believe that images ruined the internet, even more so than the Army Of Lamers.
You must be new to the internet. Back in my day, there weren't no pic-tures or scripts and everything went back and forth lightning fast just like the creators intended. And we had to remember where we came from iffin we ever wanted to go back 'cause there weren't no tabs. And we liked it that way! NGOML
Point of Light was meh, but Obol for Charon was where they made me consciously wonder if I should keep my subscription. Schizophrenic plot and three words: Solar powered toaster. I will probably keep watching Discovery, but I get more pleasure from The Orville.
Sounds like a disciple of John Searle. I once walked him into the wrong parking lot while continuing debate from a talk he had given. Or maybe he was just apt to go in the wrong direction...
It could be a hit, all they have to do is fake some bearing failures and have the robots rub their brows and say "Gosh, I don't know if we can fix this...", just like the human mining reality shows on Earth.
It's worse than that. Some of them live in cities teeming with RF going every which way through their house and yet in the utility business the regulators have to carve out special rules so that irrational folks can have meters with no radios. If somebody really has "RF sensitivity" they should be moving out of the city.
Inholder. Now there's a word only inholders would know. And now it's uselessly cluttering my head. Next time just translate it to "forest fire afficianado".
I think we, in the U.S. at least, are having trouble telling the same old, but entertaining, stories that most people really want. For thousands of years we've been telling the same great stories over and over, and it's what people like, but lately we (especially our artists) seem to be so filled with guilt and self-loathing that they just can't avoid trying to foist an overload of emotionally-manipulative works upon us. I, for one, would welcome back the trite, campy, spectacular (short of CGI swarms please) entertainment overlords of our past.

The one, true response and I've got no mod points.

What ever happened to water conservation anyway? Am I still supposed to suffer with low flow bathroom fixtures while rinsing all my recyclables?
Using your knowledge of the electric generation and distribution systems in Venezuela, please explain how this is relevant?
The remaining third of them were "complete B.S."

Marshmello seems to be smarter than all those "ad men".

Er, it doesn't take much to notice that interest in toys is in decline anyway, not to mention the thin margins.

"It looked like a perfect disk." - It's strange that the disk has different continents when viewed from space over the U.S. vs. China though.
Maybe turn it down to about 25kV or your TV will let you see the bones in your hand.

Please. Poor Norbert is spinning in his grave.
And no involvement of any of the Baldwin or DeLuise brothers, but one phone call to Brendan Fraser is allowed.
Just because Pauly Shore screwed up that experiment does not mean that it can't be done.

Heck yeah, I build floating farms in Minecraft all the time.
What? A day later, and still no mention of my mom...
