    I work in grocery. I have not gotten sick. My fellow employees have not gotten sick. If the virus were even remotely as contagious as its being presented as, why haven’t entire store staffs who come into contact with hundreds of people per day, thousands per week, all falling ill in mass nationwide?

    Only thing that really interests me is the echo dot kids edition.

    The drone camera is wild.

    The drone interests me too. Can you patrol the house with that thing when you aren't around? That would drive my dog nuts.

    "fully autonomous, but owners can tell it what path it can take and where it can go"

    So i dont think you can actually control it, but when you set up it's pre-determined path, it's a matter of point and click.

    Gotta admit. Way better than setting up cameras in every room (whcih is creepy).

    Expected to cost $250 btw.

    My place is small, and I also hate the idea of multiple cameras in a house. That could be just what I'm looking for.

    Drone will still freak out my dog though, lol

    Nah. I dont like Alexa THAT much.

    If there was a google Halo I would think about it more. She's much more useful.

    That sure is a number. The entire movie trilogy cost about half that (twenty years ago).

    When talking in hundreds of millions it's probably best not to approximate, so here: Fellowship 93m + Two Towers 94m + Return of the King 94m = 281m total. So ~50m more than half of season one.

    That trilogy is an impressive use of CGI, miniatures and lighting effects.

    Canada's was postponed.

    Not surprised because an order I placed for an in-stock item on May 15 still hasn't even shipped.

    Maybe they're awaiting the installation of more crying booths.

    Amazon reports a 150% employee turnover rate in their warehouses.

    That is...absurd.
