I don’t disagree, but prioritize to what people need to know in daily use instead of burying the lede in a sea of boilerplate.

I’m old, so I remember product info/safety labels before they turned into this. If you need gloves for something, step 1 was usually “Put on gloves”.

Exactly. And cut that in half if you’ve consumed any alcohol in the last ~12-24 hours.

That’s the kind of information that should be front and center without having to search the tiny text in the whole label.

TBF, you can read just about anything in Walken’s voice and it sounds like a disinterested threat lol.

These ah, boots, are made for Walken
And that’s just what they’ll do because
Some day…these boots…
Are gonna walk all over you.

(Does a little dance because it’s Christopher Walken and he dances in every movie he’s in. Look it up.)

I got the other one once someone explained it to me, lol. I just didn’t make the Macy Gray connection at first.

Ugh, I’m not optimistic enough to dispute that. Surely there must be a sane middle ground between unregulated free-for-all and forcing people to read through a whole MSDS just to see if they should take 1 or 2.

Safety regulations are written in blood, but warning labels seem to be written in stupidity and litigiousness.

Ah, yeah. That makes more sense. I’m right on the line between Gen X and Millennial so my mind went to the Nancy Sinatra song

(Hoping I get the joke as an old Millennial)

So, those boots, in fact, aren’t made for walking?

Probably Nico Borie

Edit: Oh, goddamnit. My dyslexic ass read that as Michael Langdon. I’m gonna leave this up for a laugh at my expense but disregard.

Shame me 4 times? Shame on you for picking on a vulnerable man.

😂

If you stop hearing from me, that’s exactly what happened; look for that van.

Them’s the fanciest lookin’ Funyuns I ever did saw, I tell ya whut

the segment has been shared widely on social media

Not widely enough.

Even if they do eventually air it, it would be enlightening to play “spot the difference” between what they didn’t want to air and what they finally do. My guess would be CBS doing something like sed s/Trump/Biden/g to the script.

I can see that. Kinda like only enjoying the first 1/3 of each season of American Idol.

“Sadly” lol

(I dunno, I’ve never seen it but it just does not sound like compelling television to me)

Not to be confused with MILF Island which was a fake show on “30 Rock” that was intended to be so over-the-top trashy no could assume it was real.

The worst part is when you do see something that seems like a legit history show, towards the end it’s like “but what if it was aliens??”

Bamboozle me once, shame on you. Bamboozle me four or more times, shame on me.

I don’t remember that one.

Is it this one? If so, that was before my time which might explain it.

Most definitely not lol. It was just the worst semi-recent example I could think of. Is that show even still on?

I’ve used MaryTTS semi-recently. It’s older but works well enough for my cases. I have it running on a server (locally) and my endpoints make a call to it and playback the returned audio file.

On Android, I use SherpaTTS which has good voices, but I’m not aware of a desktop/Linux option. It mentions using voices from Coqui which you linked, so I would guess that would be the way to go for desktop.
