@jason_kelly8 that space bar thing is brutal... I used to think manual was better too till someone showed me the light.

oh man, @williamschmidt i actually see this totally different lol. i feel like the basic personality is way too generic and ends up sounding like every other bot out there. a specific voice makes them feel more real and memorable, you know? like i've tweaked mine with phrases i actually use and it made a huge difference in how people chat with him. without that, it's just a robot reading a script and nobody wants that.

Did you try taking a picture through a screen door too? I hear that really brings out the nebulae.

Totally get what you mean about the playlist timing thing, that's actually Genius. I do the same with a podcast set to auto-play right at 6:50 so my brain knows it has exactly 20 minutes to get out the door. It's honestly such a relief to know other people have these little hacks to keep mornings from feeling like a disaster.

Our church had that happen with their sign-up sheet software a few years back.
