I’m sure it turned out fine. The little ones that have the most trouble with their hollow toothpick legs are the most resilient. I had a canary that had a broken toe that turned in the wrong direction. It never seemed to bother him. My lovebird has only one foot and it never slowed her down. Iv’e watched birds enough to notice that it doesn’t seem to get in the way of getting a mate. Or breeding. Little birds are tough.
I was staring at this wondering why the car had a hot dog painted on the rear window… “Oh, maybe it does deliveries for the restaurant across the street….”
Mostly just because it’s one of those things you subconsciously read incorrectly to make the sentence correct, so you don’t even realize the mistake is there.
Funny… I didn’t think it looked fake, until I tried to read the signs…I don’t mean figuratively, I mean the actual signs on the street, like that big mess on a pole on the right, almost 2 stories tall.
I’d already been uneasy about the wheels hanging outside of the tracks, but I thought maybe there were some with flanges on the outside.
So I decided to search it… Some sites just described it, accepting it as real…. but one link led to a Facebook page where people were discussing all the things that showed it was AI.
I’m not on Facebook, so the page wouldn’t let me copy the link, and I had to figure out a workaround…. If anybody wants to see it…. I hope this is it!
Only smart TVs with microphones can listen. Unless they’re built to provide “voice search” or similar functions, they don’t have microphones. Other devices listen too, like my Roku remote which does have voice control, but I have it turned off unless I want to use it.
It’s easy to build microphones into such things. Quite often they are used to detect noise for mood lighting etc, but because of the modular nature of TV’s electronics, the chances are that there is a microphone inside it on a board. Whether it is enabled or not, is a different thing altogether.
You have commanded the voice control off; it may or may not still be listening. I am annoyed with modern electronics; you can’t turn them off. Even plug-in electronics often have a built in battery back-up so they are ready to come up as soon as power is restored.

“Alright, everybody take five while I figure out how to open this ball thing.”
I see drool in your future.

Life is hard in the legs and feet of small songbirds.
They look like snowshoes.
More sweet than funny.
Poor little guy… I’m glad someone is helping him.

You forgot the sauerkraut!
“Did they really give me this giant hot dog? This must be too good to be true.”
He’s got a guilty, pleading look on his face, with an ingratiating little tail wag. …. like he’s afraid he’ll be in trouble for accepting it.

What?!!? There’s fog over San Francisco Bay?!
Never.
They only truck it in for pictures.

I know who, I don’t know why…
Yeah… I recognized
How to Steal a Million.
This is showing the set… In the scene they’re by themselves in a broom closet.

I remember Khrushchev doing this at the United Nations…
“This is fun. I could do this for hours.”

Say it for me. “Turkey for Thanksgiving, not lamb…”
Oh ewe kid!

As opposed to tinhorn?
Or Tim Horton’s
I think I need a nap…

No, Susan.
Go to bed.

Mone?
…eight.
Including the one in the question, yes.
Yes… But only if you include that one.
Love the grammar

Looks like the seaside is coming to him.

Iconic? Looks fake to me.

At least it’s not a grizzly (I refuse to give Disney’s abomination the name Winnie-the- Pooh)…
This is Winnie-the-Pooh (and Piglet).
The Disney characters for these guys have always bothered me too.
This is cute from beginning to end.
It’s cute, but she really shouldn’t do that.
Looks like a domestic female reindeer to me.
The woman sounds Russian or another language from that family.
Yes… If it’s hers she can feed it… Just not wildlife.
Claude likes its ears! Maybe this explains his penchant for bassets.
The ironic thing is that it’s the ‘Smart’ TV’s that can listen in to the room, where ‘Dumb’ TV don’t.
Well, Claude is also tired of buying tech that’s smarter than him.
He wants something he can feel superior to.
The world is going so fast, some people just want to slow it down a little, so they can get a grip.
Hey, maybe that’s what the ears
are for.

What? Me worry?
It made me think of that too
The truth hurts.
Better to convince yourself they’re upgrades than bemoan the inevitable.
Well, i got two out of three.
One for me.
