OROMOCTO, NB - A local man almost lost his home yesterday after his Amazon Alexa smart home device burst into flames. Lloyd Wentworth, 38, says the fire started as he was preparing dinner in his bungalow on Waasis Road.

      Whenever I say things like “no, yeah” it’s usually responding to both parts of the proceeding sentence like “this programming library isn’t great, we should switch to something else” to which you could reply “no, yeah that sounds good”.

      I didn’t actually realise this was a Canadian thing lol
