Assistant (Home) has already gone to shit and it's obvious they're just cruising. I fully expect they announce within a year or two that all of our assistant devices are deprecated and brick them. 'Cuz that's what Google does.

They removed all games AND custom 3rd-party apps. Just what, three stupid 'games' now -- "Tell a joke", "Crystal Ball" and "Tell me what any animal sounds like".

And when I say "Hey Google, play the latest episode of blah-blah- podcast" it always responds "Here's where you left off on blah-blah podcast..."

Like FFS, I said play the LATEST episode, not resume the previous episode I was playing. The workaround for this obvious, annoying and months-old bug is to instead say "Hey Google, play the -st episode of blah-blah podcast..." even if the "latest" episode was days ago. At least it plays the "latest" one.

Assistant is dying and they are obviously letting it die.

Democrats really need to seize onto this -- start musing publically and loudly about who Biden should imprison first, without trial, once Trump hands him the power to do so!

Hypothetically, of course /s

No, you're totally right -- there's no easy way out of this. But how does one work towards a peaceful solution, and overcome multi-generational, cultural, 'religion'-based attitudes shaping foreign policies (I place 'religion' in quotes because I believe that religion is just used, by all sides, as justification for intolerance and abuse of power) that insists on conflict? BTW I'm referring to both Iran and the 'Western Powers' here.

Simply trying to 'kill the masters' would only create a vacuum for whomever is waiting in the wings to take their place, and just perpetuate the cycle.. sigh. I dunno.

The paradox of tolerance -- those who break the 'social contract' deserve no tolerance from the otherwise tolerant, otherwise they'll just run roughshod over everyone. I hate violence as well and have no stomach for it, but it does seem there may be no other way to stop regimes like this.

Yeah GR was a bit of a dick it seems...

Trivia: the lyrics are given in the songbook that comes with the Suzuki OmniChord, model OM-84, page 21 of the manual

The Omnichords sort of looked like a weird Vulcan instrument, which is fitting I guess.

Any leader who has to sign legislation stating they have lifelong immunity from prosecution, probably needs to be prosecuted for the rest of their long life.

No, it's just saying "NOTHING" is written in stone -- which it obviously is here, on the first line.

The fact that "IS WRITTEN IN STONE" is also written in stone isn't mentioned, probably due to lack of space.

...until Google kills the feature, as they nearly always do.
