Thanks for solving the “Ziggy” one for me! And I agree I feel like “Computer” was for elderly grandmas.

Funnily enough, you can change the Alexa wake word (edit: on certain devices, I can change it on my Show but not my Tap). It can be “Echo”, “Amazon”, “Computer” and for some reason “Ziggy” (someone is a big fan of Bowie or Sunday morning cartoons?)

I know you can’t change Siri, I’m not sure about Google but I assume that can’t be changed either.

For some reason this breaks the way my app (Voyager) identifies OP. It usually gives them a blue color to make it easier to spot OP in the comments, but here OP is not marked. Interesting.

Yeah I watch a girl on YouTube who bought a run down old house in Nova Scotia + plenty of land for I think $64k? It obviously takes a lot of work to get it modernized but it was technically liveable when she bought it. But it’s kinda out in the middle of nowhere and therefore not as desirable.

(If anyone cares, she’s a booktuber but she has a whole video series on refurbing the house. Her name is Ariel Bissett.)

How does one determine a good species to plant between the road and the sidewalk? I assume slow growing, do some trees tend to root deep down more than “out” and on the surface which is what damages sidewalks faster?

On iOS I only just yesterday finally got a suggested app update so the icon could change. It’s been the bird still all week. Not exactly prepared, were they.

I haven’t been to squabble since about a week after it opened. What happened to it?

Whenever I go over there it always feels like they just like to listen to themselves talk. :(

Oh, gotcha! I think they would likely be ousted pretty quickly if they tried that.

Considering a woman ran as a democrat then switched to republican as soon as she was in office, it doesn’t seem like anything stopping them.

And when I went to find a link apparently it’s happened multiple times just this year.

Unfortunately it wasn’t just rich idiots, but any idiots with disposable income. Only the rich million-dollar NFT garbage made the news, but plenty of “normal” folk lost money with the junk too.
