Someone else needs to host "We Regret to Inform You". That vocal fry is off the charts.

Hell, I'll do it for free. Interesting story today about handwashing before delivering a baby, but MY GOD I wonder how many listeners just clicked it off within the first minute.

I would listen to Siri, Alexa, or 2010 text-to-speech read these stories instead of, I believe it's Terry O'Reilly's daughter?

I know, I know. Complaining here accomplishes nothing. I'll email the show directly and complain to them.

If you took your cat to the Stampede.

she would for sure nibble on a turkey leg, would for sure jump and freak and hide on the fireworks, would love the cool mist at the food stops.

The Fab Four on stage: Haz, Megatron, Catherine, William. Megatron fails like a floppy fish.

The Behavior Panel (YouTube) covers so many of the weird stuff about the "Fab Four".

https://youtu.be/Yb4r0bCSyiI?si=2VNp76iVtHdss2a-

I Know, you don't want to click random links. I agree.....EXCEPT ... when Smeg talks about "Me Too" you can see William raise his finger to signal to her to SHUT UP because royals don't go into politics.

Smeg: "Oh sorry I thought it was TOPICAL".

TLDR; Megan is American and therefore too good for learning how to cross her legs (yes too good for learning how to cross her legs.)

How to listen to podcasts? (Don't laugh I'm old)

TLDR; what do I say to Alexa to pull up a podcast that I hear or read about? I pay for only wifi and have Android phone.

I have an Alexa dot from...2019? It looks like a hockey puck.

I have the app for it on my phone ANDROID.

I basically use it as a clock radio beside my bed.

The commands I tell it are:

"Alexa play CNN international"

"Alexa play CBC Radio Calgary"

"Alexa play Old Time Radio Shows"

"Alexa what time is it?"

"Alexa set my alarm for 6:30 AM"

"Alexa Stop"

That's it.

What I WOULD LIKE TO DO is ask Alexa to play podcasts. Like let's say I hear or read about the Titanic Sinking podcast by Sophia Petrillo.

What do I say to Alexa or do I need the app?

Does Alexa have access to "all" podcasts?

Can I pause and pick up again later? "Those Old Time Radio Shows" will pick up from where I left off.

Please humour an old lady. Thank you.

With all of this sweating, how are you all maintaining your electrolytes?

I think I've really dropped the ball on my electrolytes. I've been using the sweating as an excuse to add extra salt to my meals, but not paying attention to the full picture.

I've just been drinking tons of water, which is probably diluting out whatever electrolytes I have in my body.

I realized that watermelon, cucumber, cantaloupe and oranges can help with fluids, nutrients, and electrolytes, so I'm eating more of those.

I'm one of those people who takes a vitamin or supplement, until I "feel better", so I stop taking them. That's not smart, I know. But I would rather just change my menu plans than add pills or supplements or gatorade.

Please be kind, I hope you can see my point of view and suggest to me what to stock in my fridge that I'm going to eat anyway, to help with electrolytes?

Basic website, how to hide phone number and email address from bots?

Do I need to add a form to the website? I don't want to do that. I just want the website to look like:

My Cat

here are some pictures of my cat

pic, pic, pic

Email my cat at Cat@gmail.com

Phone my cat at 102-123-1234

obviously this is not a cat website, it is a business, but I hope you get the idea.

I know, you're gonna say "Did you Google?" Did you look at the Zoo website? I need a wheelchair for a Zoo event.

Hello Calgary,

So yep the problem is an event at the zoo. Which requires more walking than is reasonable for this guest.

My question is, do I drop the guest off at the gates and then rent a wheelchair, at the Zoo gates, or do I rent a wheelchair from off-site for the day?

I don't know if I will be parking at the North or South side. Until we sign up for this event.

The guest uses a cane around the house, but, in my opinion and their opinion, cannot walk 10 minutes in or out of the Zoo.

News announcer Neil Kumar, he does the late night world news and speaks as if he's telling secrets

If you've heard him read the news late at night, you'll know who I'm talking about. Just a very strange whispery voice, strange cadence; doesn't seem to fit the style of a CBC newsreader at all. Unnerving.
