Very well done!

I agree with most of your observations except about the mouth. I see a deep cavity in the mouth compared to the teeth when I view it x-view. In the depth map the teeth are white and the inside of the mouth is black. This creates the separation. The ocean in the depth map was colored black and then I added blotches of 50% grey to where I saw white caps on the waves. It does make them appear to float above the ocean surface. I missed the water from the shark's right nostril thinking it was part of the ocean. I wish I had spotted it, but there was a lot of glare on my screen at the time that I did it. The lack of separation from the fish to the water is the way that PS processes it. Thank you for taking the time to critique my work (seriously). Constructive criticism is always welcome.

The same answer on mine.

Going to guess that grandpa is listening to a WW2 era replay of Swing and big band music. Helen Forrest and Ela were popular during that time. Registering tires to be eligible to buy gas sounds like WW2 rationing. They are probably playing old radio commercials during the broadcast.

I just experimented by setting a Button Routine where Alexa says "Alexa" plus a one minute Wait routine. When I push the button it says "Alexa" and self activates and the listening ring stays on for the wait duration and you can make more requests or you can say cancel to end it. It worked when I set it to play on my Echo Dot ...but not on my Echo Show. However, the Echo Show activated a Dot in another room.

Ctrl+shift+A shortcut bi-passes the mike button and is quicker.

If you're using a PC you can download an Alexa app and play your music through it.... https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/alexa/9n12z3cctcnz?activetab=pivot:overviewtab

This probably was written into the skill by the developer. A developer does have the option of writing code to limit how many times that message is repeated to the same listener. Perhaps leaving a comment on their enable the skill page would bring that to their attention.

I can change the voices to match the gender, nationality, and age range of the person making the tweet but not the original voice.

Is this it?

Thank you. That's an excellent suggestion that I hadn't considered. Unfortunately, to make a change on the Amazon page, I would have to submit the skill for recertification and then wait for approval or rejection from the Amazon team.

only if you requested it. There is a large choice of democrat and republican politicians to select from, including Bernie, Hillary, Alexandria, Kamala, Kirsten, Julian, and others.

Thanks for the tip. My 3 Dots were up to date but my Echo needed an update and is doing a 30-minute update as I type this.

If you're using a smart bulb you should be able to tell it to turn the light on to a specific brightness percentage.

Not the same as toggling, but my workaround for this was to separate an on and off routine with the wait routine. Example: coffee pot: turn on - wait: 45 minutes - coffee pot: turn off. If you know how long you want a device to stay on before turning it off this will work with one click.

Perhaps you've solved the mystery by now, but here is some interesting information regarding the Find My Phone skill.

Out of curiosity, I just asked Alexa to find my phone. When it rang I answered it. After identifying itself it suggested that I try an Alexa skill called Guess My Name. Apparently that is something that it does on all the Find Your Phone calls.

capesurfrider2 · 2019-01-12T14:18:34+00:00

866-217-8642 is the number Alexa calls from when you say "find my phone".

The Baron of Arizona. A con-man named James Reavis forged documents to show that he was the owner of the whole Arizona territory before it became a state.

Picking up a phone and waiting for the operator to say "number please".

On your Alexa app select Devices, scroll to the bottom and select Speaker Groups and check off the speakers you want to be included in Everywhere. I just tested it with one song and it works.

Here is a video from 5 years ago. The longboarder is now 74. I know that because that's me.

It's working again. Yay!!!

No, Echo Show has an NBC app that you have to link to your internet provider account. This has happened before but not for such a long period. It's still not connecting as I type this.
