What happened to Siri? She startled me just now.?
For the last few years I've been using Siri for the weather.
I just say,"Hay Siri" and the mic opens with a dink dink sound and I say, 'What's the temperature outside?". and she replies by saying, "Its forty four degrees outside".
Now at this point, if I need further information I have to say "Hay Siri" again to open the microphone. But for some reason it didn't happen that way.
This last time I asked Siri what the temperature was outside, after she said "Its seventeen degrees outside", I was a bit surprised at the temperature drop, I said, "Really, you don't say"?, and she immediately replied, "Of course, I'm not permitted to use expletives".
She has never replied to my comments about her answers before. What now?
Does this mean she's becoming more aware of what I'm saying now all the time?
1 AnswerQuotations2 months ago"Consumer Electronics" is low grade affordable electronics. Is wrong to want premium grade, or commercial grade electronics that last?
Why is it so difficult to find premium grade stuff that lasts a lifetime built out of the best materials and design.
What are some things you have that have lasted 20 or more years and still function like the day you purchased them?

11 AnswersMythology & Folklore9 years agoWhat should I do about this?
I know I'm going to die soon, with in the next year or so. I have a lot of personal possessions and no family or friends to give them to. I don't want the State to take it all. I was thinking maybe my landlord should have everything, she's the closest thing to family I have. What do you think? It's only about $40,000 worth of stuff. Mostly high end electronics and collectibles. Try to recommend non-profit, and groups that help children and teens please.
7 AnswersCommunity Service10 years agoAre you ready for the sun to change the way we live?
Solar activity is reaching a peak scientists have never seen. They expect a large CME (Coronal Mass Ejection) to strike the planet within the next several months. We could loose all electrical, electronics, and cars that are computer controlled. How do think this will change our world? Are you doing anything to prepare for it. Think about it. No banks, no power, no more computers.

3 AnswersOther - Society & Culture10 years agoHow can I stay well hydrated while driving for 70 hours a week with out using plastic bottles or cans?
I think there needs to be a way that is convenient and healthy for professional drivers to stay well hydrated with out using plastics or cans. I would prefer ideas and answers that are safe and reasonable. I'm not willing to lug around a heavy ceramic tank or use animal skins. I prefer drinking distilled or purified natural water, like Figi water. I can only replenish my drink supply once every two weeks. Large containers of more than 5 gallons are difficult for me to lift, or find room in the truck for.

Many times I've spent time on writing the perfect answer to someone's question only to find when I go to post it the question has been removed.
Sometimes I spend hours researching a subject to give the best answer possible only to find it was a waste of time.
PLEASE CONSIDER YOUR QUESTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE POSTING.

2 AnswersOther - Society & Culture1 decade agoWhat is this excruciating pain in my knee?
Over the last three months, on several occasions, I have had this sharp short and very painful bouts of pain that I can not associate with any activity, injury, illness, or infection. This pain which feels like I’m being stabbed in the knee with a hot knife, only lasts for 3 to 5 seconds. It has occurred in any position, at any time of day or night. The exact location of the pain, when it happens, is where the doctor hits you with that little hammer to check your reflexes. But not on the surface, it’s behind that tendon and a little to the left, on my left knee only, just under the knee cap in the little pit space the tip of your finger falls into on the lower left side of the cap just behind the tendon. When the pain occurs, it comes on fast and strong without muscle spasms, cramps, neurological blocking or numbness. I can be sound asleep, and when it wakes me, I’ll fall out of bed withering and howling in pain. Then like someone flicks a light switch, the pain stops after 3 to 5 seconds of agony, and I’m perfectly fine. Stretching, jumping, twisting, and pounding on my leg makes no difference to it. Before and after these attacks, I am perfectly fine, and have no pain whatsoever. There is no palpitable inflammation, lump, node, or discoloration detected. I almost feel as if someone has a voodoo doll of me they stick with a pin in the knee when ever they feel like it. I have nothing to show my doctor, and can not make the pain happen for him. One time it happened while I was driving and almost made me crash. When it happens in public, I usually do this strange dance and howl in pain, which is very embarrassing. What the #%*! is it?
2 AnswersPain & Pain Management1 decade agoDimensional or time travel. which is it?
In my research of Electronic Voice Phenomena (EVP) I have discovered that spirit, alien, or demonic voices, have the limited ability to know ahead of time what is going to happen, or what I am going to ask. I can not determine if this ability is associated with a dimensional shift, or their traveling into the near future on the time line. I understand that such entities are not bound by time as we know it, and the dimension or realm they live in is one of energy that is not in time with ours. Although they are aware of our time, do you think they can manipulate it, or travel to different points in our time? If so, how? And how far into our future can they actually see, or know what is going to occur? Please, serious answers only.
