    My dad got one of his first big brainworms a couple years ago and bought an alexa thing that came with like six echo dots. I turned as much of the horrible shit off as i could and now i can say "computer, turn off the fuckin lights it's later than hell" and it's pretty cool.

      Majel Barrett who did the voice of the computer in all 90s Trek actually recorded the phonetic whatever before dying so they could use the computer voice. I would use an Alexa or whatever if it was the star trek computer

        wow that's really interesting! i've read you can customize the voice and call words on alexa shit but it seems like it takes a lot more programming style expertise than i possess. another fun fact if you haven't heard it before, but James Doohan's ashes have been on board the international space station for 12 years and orbited earth over 70,000 times.
