I use Bixby (like Siri, I’m guessing) on my Samsung phone. I gave it a voice command to set a timer for 25 minutes.
It set it for 10 hours, 59 minutes, and 32 seconds.
If you would like to participate in this prompt, feel free to use the “One-Liner Wednesday” title in your post, and if you do, you can ping back here to help your blog get more exposure. To execute a pingback, just copy the URL in the address bar on this post, and paste it somewhere in the body of your post. Your link will show up in the comments below. Please ensure that the One-Liner Wednesday you’re pinging back to is this week’s! Otherwise, no one will likely see it but me.
NOTE: Pingbacks only work from WordPress sites. If you’re self-hosted or are participating from another host, please leave a link to your post in the comments below.
As with Stream of Consciousness Saturday (SoCS), if you see a pingback from someone else in my comment section, click and have a read. It’s bound to be short and sweet.
Unlike SoCS, this is not a prompt so there’s no need to stick to the same “theme.”
The rules that I’ve made for myself (but don’t always follow) for “One-Liner Wednesday” are:
1. Make it one sentence.
2. Try to make it either funny or inspirational.
3. Use our unique tag #1linerWeds.
4. Add our lovely badge to your post for extra exposure!
5. Have fun!

I told Bixby to give me the headlines, as I’ve done most mornings for years. She said, “Okay. Here’s what I found online.” She did not give me the headlines. She brought up a variety of definitions and how-tos for something that includes the words “give” and “head”. WTF, Bixby.

I wish, but the opposite is true. It was to time me while I was working. 😛

I hope you weren’t reheating a pizza. I can’t imagine the short-circuit that caused that mistake.

Hmmm….not sure why there are two pingbacks. This post also seems familiar, but I wanted to get my post out there. I’ll try to get back and edit if you do an update, Linda.

I deleted one of your pingbacks. Also, I wrote about this on Facebook, so you probably saw it there. 😛

LOL – That must be it! I remembered seeing it and thought somehow there was a date glitch going on with FB. We’ve had so many weird things going on with our power and the storms and such, I’m paranoid now…
