You're definitely not the first to figure that out. I've been calling them lewd for years. Pretty funny to see our little local electric company show up in national news.

I put Alexa through a similar but simpler loop a while ago.

Alexa, where am I?
You are in Lancaster.
Alexa, where is Lancaster?
Lancaster is a medium sized city in the UK.
Alexa, am I in the UK?
.... no.

It wasn't just plastic. It was real leather, produced by the Radel Leather Manufacturing Company in New Jersey. It actually wasn't anything different than the leather they had already been using in their cars. The only thing added was the word "Corinthian", which was meaningless in this context.

The haptic feedback accelerator pedal is something I've wanted for a while. Have the pedal be slightly harder to push further down when at a certain speed. That won't stop you from going faster if you consciously want to, but it will make you naturally control your speed without even thinking about it. Though I would want to be able to specify where that point is (say, 5 or 10 mph over the speed limit).

By turning down the appropriate corner of my calling card when I leave it with the servant?

I regularly get ~700mbit at my house, but I'm in a rural area with a low usage tower 0.25 miles away on the same hill as my property.

As does my 1901 Waltham M1891 Seaside. Not sure how to tell if it supports webp though.

The engine compartment on a Boxter isn't "sealed". It's just a bit of a pain to get at because you have to move the roof out of the way. It's a little confusing at first, but if you've done it before, it takes about three minutes.

Pro baseball pitchers regularly throw 90-100mph fastballs.

Simple possession is not a crime in most developed nations. Receiving or possessing goods while knowing the were stolen is when it typically becomes a crime.

Yeah, I never quite understood how so many companies aren't prepared for this. A few years back one of my users being stupid let ransomware onto our network. It was annoying as heck, but really it just wasted time while things were restored from offline backups.

Lol, you all make it sound like its some kind of major issue that us poor lefties have to deal with. I honestly haven't ever had much issue with the ink smearing on paper, even without resorting to special pens, angling paper, or weird hand positions. It just isn't typically an issue unless you're mashing your hand into the paper or writing with a fountain pen. But I'll bring it up in my next 'coping with left-handedness' victim's support group meeting and see if it causes trouble for others.

It didn't total the car. No airbags, no real mechanical damage other than my headlight, it did a lot of cosmetic damage to the grill and fender. You would not say it was a major accident by looking at the car afterward.

Oh, yeah, I wasn't complaining. I thought it was an appropriate question for the car to ask. I'd think it should go ahead and ask when it detects any possible collision at all, as long as it doesn't automatically call unless the collision is enough to blow the air bags (or some similar criteria).

It's already here. I was sitting in my living room reading a book one afternoon a few years ago when I got a call asking me, "Mr. LastName, are you ok?" I was very confused, but reasonably quickly figure out that my wife was driving my car and must have been in an accident. The car called the emergency services and the monitoring company, who then called me. (Car was totaled, but she was luckily only slightly banged up.)

Actually, they do sometimes trigger on more minor collisions. I had another occasion driving my new car last year where a deer ran out in front of me late on a rainy night. I saw it before it hit, and had managed to slow down from about 45mph to 20mph. But it still hit pretty hard, throwing the deer up into the air about 10 feet. I stopped and took inventory. I wasn't hurt, car still running, airbags not deployed. Very quickly, the car popped up a message on the screen saying basically, "WTF just happened? Do you want me to call emergency services?" I selected "no" and limped the car home. (Car wasn't totaled, but did spend about six weeks in the body shop. The deer unfortunately was gone before it even hit the ground.)
