I don’t need a timer though.

I have brief mode on, she doesn’t give a shit. I need “say the absolute minimum number of words” mode.

Now they can hear me scream “shut the fuck up Alexa!!!” every time she says “…by the way…” when I just want to know what time it is.

…and now I have Careless Whispers stuck in my head. You’re welcome.

But wait, isn’t this some sort of official government communication channel now? Sure there must be uptime agreements and penalties for such a thing, right? Right?!?
