SovCit Throws In the Towel

Today's Team Skeptic video was pretty good. In the first case he covered, the defendant denounced his earlier SovCit diatribe during his sentencing hearing. I personally doubt he was sincere, but it was still refreshing to hear him come to his senses.

During another hearing, the judge smoothly shut down a SovCit every time she started with her nonsense.

In the last case, a SovCit refused to approach the podium, and tried the "special appearance" trick. So, the judge immediately issued a warrant and the SovCit was hauled off to jail.

Echo Show 5 Freezes During Ads

I would like to replace my bedside alarm clock with my Echo Show 5, but it's too unreliable. Several times per week it freezes on the ad display. It corrects itself if I ask it to do something. I'm not sure if it recovers on its own. It doesn't always do this. Often an ad will appear and then go away, as intended.

Further, the clock size varies too much. I want big numbers that I can easily see from across the room. Show 5 has the ability to do that, but as far as I know, I can't set it to always show large numbers.
