Dontcha just hate it when you open your mouth and the words just tumble out, and even as you say 'em, you can hear yourself and something is scream "HEY IDIOT STOP SPEAKING" - but you don't...and you end up here.
Like word vomit or something...

If a bird that flies over the sea is a seagull, is a bird that flies over the bay a baygull? And if that baygull flies over locks in the bay is it a baygull and lox?

A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, navigate a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly.

Yes - and if it is flying with several other large birds it would then be a multi-crane bay gull and lox.

Difficult - he is in Alaska, I am in Florida. I suppose I could ask my sister though, she lives about 100 miles away (bad roads right now, not sure if she would do it)

Here we are! Coffee anyone? Appkettle WiFi Smart Kettle 3G/4G IOS / Android 2400W | Ebuyer.com[^]
Now you can make coffee (OR TEA!) at home from the comfort of your own office. Or front room!
Provided you already went to the kitchen to fill it with water, or course. And then go back out there when it's boiled to pour the water on the coffee grounds (OR TEABAG!).
Coming soon: IoT coffee that drinks itself to save you the effort!

That's easy: just check behind your ears.

Well, that was fast. I looked at the IoT stupid idea of the weekend for about five seconds, and then closed the tab. I immediately then left CP and went to BBC news to see how many times the suspected drone operators accidently fell down the police station steps causing serious bruising, and lo! a damned add for the thing at the top of the BBC page!

Those two - if it was them - need seriously long sentences, combined with debilitating fines and "victim surcharge". Once the "stair related" injuries have healed, anyway.
The number of poor sods they have badly affected is ridiculous!
But Gatwick did the only thing it could: shut down until the drones went away. I think we need "drone-seeking" missiles and radio triangulating helicopters for all airports ... this will happen again.

You, sir, are far too nice. I favour Lingchi, with each person affected being allowed a piece of the action. And I would make it the default punishment for such crimes.
But then, I am not a nice person.

There is a wifi enabled pillow.
Amazon.com: ZEEQ Smart Pillow - Track Sleep, Stream Audio, Smart Home Connected for Home Automation (ZEEQ Smart Pillow): Home Audio & Theater[^]
But wait there is more! It comes with...
"With 8 built-in speakers"
Makes me wonder if there is any room left for the actual pillow part.
lol...From one of the negative reviews...
"But here is the real issue: you do not get a good night's sleep because you spend 15-20 minutes every night right before you go to sleep trying to get the app on your phone to synch with the pillow. I lay awake for another 20 minutes filled with anxiety from the sheer frustration of trying to get the pillow to work."
So there is a wifi enabled phone, playing music, next to the bed where the pillow is, so the pillow can play the music. Perhaps some people forgot what the point of sleeping is.
