Nah, not going to do that. I really hate the voice assistant and never use it. Glad it works for you, but it's not for me.

Thanks, those are definitely options worth considering.

If nothing else, if I get a cheap pair then find a good set, I'll have a backup in case I lose the better ones.

The world would be a better place if people were celebrated for changing their minds if it was done for a good reason.

"I changed my mind because my views were unpopular" is a terrible reason, and true of many politicians.

But, "I changed my mind because I learned new things and had new experiences" should be admired. Also, "I changed my mind because the world changed" is another one that, at least sometimes, is good.

You're still going to get issues because of misunderstandings and loopholes.

"I vow that my hot dogs will be All Beef."

All Beef is a brand name, the vow doesn't mean what most of the customers think it means.

As for laws, what does it mean that laws are bound by magic? Are you bound to a law you didn't agree to follow? Are you bound to laws you never knew existed? What happens if you make a promise to do something that is actually illegal? How does the magic resolve that?

Allegiance to a flag is a pretty meaningless statement. It's like allegiance to a shoe, or fealty to a belt buckle.

For example, how can you be disloyal to a flag?

Why would oversold flights happen less often? The contract wouldn't even have to change. The contract is that they'll fly you from A to B, but maybe not in the plane that you expected.

Exactly, that's why Leonardo da Vinci was willing to paint the Sistine Chapel. He knew he'd be protected by IP...

You seem to believe there are Nazis in Ukraine, why?
