The update for Alexa just showed up for me. I'm still skeptical about allowing Amazon access to always listen. I'm not super fond of Google either to be fair. Hopefully the echo dots can make me some money though or at least make a good present.

I used to be the same until my college english professor helped me out. Here are a couple of tips about commas. When punctuating just think about the person reading the sentence. Commas should be used every time the reader breathes or you want them to pause while reading reading the sentence. In addition, if a sentence is very long (you can't finish it on 1 breathe) and there is no place for a comma, split the thought into 2 sentences.

I've seen both sides of this story and like the HOA my mom's house is in. Hers costs less than $100 per year and the main purpose is to keep up the value of the homes up. For example, front yards have to be maintained, house exteriors have to be kept up, setback requirements are enforced, etc. Subsequently her neighborhood is one of the most desirable in the city which results in high property values. I think communities should focus on the same things when it come to zoning and permitting. For example in the Bay Area as home prices increased people sprawled towards the Central Valley. City's like Tracy were growing so fast that the city couldn't keep up with roadways, water, sewage and other infrastructure. Crowding was getting so bad the city stopped allowing additional homes to be built. They were responsible and did what was needed for their community to maintain value. That same approach should be used when communities evaluate whether they should interfere or not. Unfortunately many communities see the process as a way to generate additional money, via fees and taxes, without adding much value.

I got the black. It looks good, but I think the blue was probably a better choice. I may try to change out at store, but if they charge a restocking fee I'll keep it. Love the phone though. Fast as hell, especially when updating apps.

It feels like a sin to hide something so beautiful. Yeah I'm hoping the shade of green on the black is one I like. My main concern on the case is that the edge extends past the top of the screen. I know the gorilla glass is strong and all, but I'd prefer it not rubbing on surfaces when upside down.

Thanks Josh for moderating. My main point wasn't to point fingers, but instead to say don't expect lots of quick changes. The president and Congress still have to follow procedures and rules. At my company the red tape can be horrible, but I can't even imagine how much red tape a government agency has to deal with.

The Republican members of the House and Senate have spent a majority of the last 8 years obstructing law creation. I'm not convinced they even remember how to. That coupled with a president who has zero experience writing laws and a Congress who is only willing to tolerate him. In summary, there is very little to show that much will happen quickly.
