CAFE by GE for those who are wondering.

We are renovating our house including all new appliances. I have told my partner to make sure we get non smart appliances. This is why.

Yes I can setup a VLAN for it to be on but that’s not the point.

        Do what you like, friend, as I did. Why? I don’t swear a lot in person, and for me, I communicate the same online and off.

          But then just don’t say fuck at all? It’s just an odd choice to specifically choose to write that word, but then feel the need to censor it because you don’t want to actually write it? Either say it or don’t.

            It is an odd choice to argue over such a thing. No one was harmed in the making of the first comment. Or the second. If anything, that person is being completely reasonable instead of demanding what others should do.

              Okay, now I’m arguing. They just asked why. Because they wanted to understand. I’m curious too. No one’s “damanding” anything…

          Good point. Not everyone swears like a trooper. I’m ex British army so can live with it. But I wouldn’t swear in mixed company or in front of my daughter, even though she is over 21.

            To each his own, of course, but coy swearing is still swearing.

            Actually I do sympathise. I swear too much (but not more than the average Aussie) and wish I could train myself to use some other intensifiers in my language but most of them lack intensity. By Jove! My word! Sweet zombie Jesus! Drokk!
