That ad was great. And it sums up why I don't use voice tech perfectly. My neighbors have fancy doorbell cameras and speakers at their garages and such.
I've got a peep hole, a chain-link fence, and motion lights. I'll just sit on my porch with my whitlin' knife.
@Delibheel Aha. Well, I guess that must have been "post-9-years-of-age" language material, then.
Come to think of it, I have heard of flutes being referred to as sopranos, but the recorder bit kinda threw me off.

@JackEatsSparrows Yeah, it was, wasn't it? Almost made me spit out my coffee, the first time I saw it.
I do like modern home security, though, as long as it still has buttons. And a doorbell with a camera isn't too shabby either. I recently saw one that makes it possible to connect with an app, so you can actually see who's standing in front of your door, even if you aren't home, and that seems rather handy to me.
@ThanosReXXX Truth be told, I like the idea of that doorbell too. My buddy has that, which is handy if the wife and kid are out and he's deep in the back yard with his phone on him. It's even got 2-way audio.

hmm that is awesome I always figured that the recorder was that "instrument" that they made you pay five dollars to learn "On the Road Again" to annoy your family with. You then proceed to put it in a box in the attic and find it when you are in your 30s.
Always happy to hear people making music out of instruments I wouldn't expect. I have sinus issues...anything involving me having to blow is a no go. Wait, I take that back...I do mess around with the harmonica. But I'm a taiko and guitar kinda girl....I'll start the shamisen this year. I wanted the kokyu but I can not find a local teacher in English or Japanese. Someday...
Also glad you got the dislike person. I noticed them but wasn't sure how to report it since I didn't know who it was.
Taiko is good for the soul, Hoisa!

@Ryu_Niiyama Yeah it was your "money tree" post the other day that tipped me off to the serial disliker. I scrolled up the thread and saw every post disliked and figured there was a troll in the dungeon.
Na, not really. They’re beautiful creatures, but I know there’s nothing pleasant going on behind those eyes. I even tell Jack to quit staring at me from time to time 😂.
I’m under no illusions that animals will do whatever they must to survive. I also don’t begrudge predators for attacking. There was a funny comedy but I heard once about people being surprised that sharks will attack people. In summation, the idea was that a person wandered into the shark’s kitchen at dinner time.

@1UP_MARIO
And also The Princess and the Frog by Disney (2009) with Tiana, Prince Naveen, Dr Facilier, Mama Odie, Ray the firefly, Louis the alligator, etc.
Btw, this the SADDEST scene from The Princess and the frog.
Everytime i watch that scene, my eyes start to getting wet, sometimes a tiny tears coming out and with shutted lip.
@JackEatsSparrows Oh. I agree about the shark, definitely. People always seem to think that they are the most important, and in that frame of mind, most of them make it too personal, while for the shark it's either just dinner time, as you so eloquently put it, but in most cases simply a question of mistaken identity.
Don't know where you got the idea from that a deer is somehow a malevolent being. Or at least, that's how I interpreted "nothing pleasant going on behind those eyes". I've always found them to be shy, careful and rather meek animals. Much like the equivalent of a shy, soft spoken person.
Cat's are a different story altogether, though: they simply have a mind of their own. And they're predators, also not really comparable to a herbivore...
Oh, and never forget: we are animals too. We might consider ourselves to be smarter than wild animals, but we're not that much higher up on the ladder, really. And we too do anything we must, to survive.
Big difference is, that when push comes to shove, most modern people probably wouldn't last more than a couple of days in the wild, whereas all the other species would...
