Discussion thread for the "Polls only" thread (Part 1)

Ha! Ok, that’s kind of fun :nerd_face:

I have an iPhone so of course I have Siri. Don’t really use it. We have an echo in a box. So I guess other is the answer.

Other: do not have and, at least in their current form, do not want.

My enthusiasm for using a long-distance communication requiring a whole shitload of off-site technology and going through third parties unknown to me in order to turn on a light is, I’ll just say, definitely negative.

[ETA: yeah, I know this post does the same thing. But online discussions don’t work without it. The light switch does.]

I understand what you’re saying, but I like the ability to be 400 miles away and turn the driveway lights on for my kid who’s coming to let the dog out.

How can you have a shaved head and a beard? Isn’t your beard located on your head?

I suspect that it’s referring to having shaved the hair on the top of your head, but having a beard, as below:

Likewise.

Mileage and circumstances do vary.

What if you have a beard and you’re naturally bald?

(I’m not, I just like to look for loopholes.)

Having shaved head + beard = high likelihood of multiple tattoos.

No emoticon so this must not be a joke. The board elders have ruled. So let it be written, so let it be done.

Or, you could be a bearded, long-haired, naturally-bald guy.

(or woman)

OK, I’m confused. How can you be long-haired and bald at the same time?

A long-haired wig, maybe? Or are you counting partially-bald people as entirely bald?

I don’t even get eschereal’s polls. Almost every one. I think he’s trying for absurdist humor, but it’s just dada to me. If you object to the whole idea of a poll, why poll?

You should listen to this.

From the goon show !

Yup, checks out, also jumping Axe first at a flying dragon (generally with poor results for the human, dragon is quite happy).

“Bald” typically describes the crown of the head. If a man’s head is lacking hair on top, he is described as bald even if there is some hair on the lower part of his head.

I agree with that. There are some people who, the more bald they get on top, the more they grow out that remaining hair over their ears and at the backs of their necks. David Crosby had a little of that late in the game.

snacks, mostly

I’m just paranoid enough not to want any kind of digital assistant device that’s listening to me all the time. Hell, the Roku keeps suggesting I should talk to the remote instead of pressing buttons, and I won’t even do that.
