If you’ve recently had an Amazon delivery done by an Amazon driver and you have an Alexa, say “Alexa, thank my delivery driver.” Amazon is giving $5 to the drivers at no cost to the customer for a limited time promotion. www.tiktok.com/t/ZTR47cyuS/I actually tried to do that today and my echo said "sorry, I don't recognize that request." Maybe it hasn't fully rolled out yet?

I just got a delivery today and it worked when I tried it!

This is really curious. Feels like some action movie taking place in DC.

Maybe it hasn't fully rolled out yet? Mine responded that my last delivery was with UPS, so that was disappointing for this feature. But I’m going to keep trying. I do always give feedback on the app though, by clicking those buttons.

Wow. CNN reporting that Brittany Greiner has been released in exchange for a convicted Russian arms dealer.

lol Amazon putting the onus on the consumer to do some hidden trick you have to learn about from outside sources to give their drivers tips instead of just paying their employees better. And only if you have the device that Amazon produces. Capitalism at its finest.

Identical twins accused of cheating on med school exam due to identical answers- awarded $1.5M by jury for damages. "Great minds think alike: twins beat school’s cheating claim, win $1.5M Jurors ruled in favor of identical twins who fought claims that they had cheated on a medical school exam after submitting near-identical tests" I've gifted this article for discussion purposes. What do you guys think? Did they cheat or not? wapo.st/3iN99hB

I find it suspicious, but also think the school could have handled it incredibly differently, and to a more satisfactory end for all.

byjove I haven't read the article but I am part of a local twin mom group and I hear a LOT about the weird connectedness of identical twins on there. A coworker of mine is an identical twin and she has some wild premonition/spiritual connection type stories with her and her sister. I could see there being eerily similar results on a test.

I would assume the twins probably studied together as well which would account for similar responses based on what was studied and what was not.

The exam proctor who was the "witness" sounds he could have been a witness for a witch trial. Yikes. Again, I think the school handled this all so poorly.

What do you guys think? Did they cheat or not? wapo.st/3iN99hBDidn’t old teachers come out saying they’ve always tested similarly? I don’t think they’ve been able to cheat on every test they’ve ever had. I think it’s a weird twin quirk.

And only if you have the device that Amazon produces. Capitalism at its finest. Timing is also a bit suspect with the driver shortages. I had a delivery scheduled for yesterday and yesterday morning it was pushed out into a window starting late next week. It would have been nice for them to announce it.

Maybe I don’t know enough about it but I don’t love trading Griner for an arms dealer. Especially when Whelan wasn’t included.

On one hand, the results of the trade are not great. But Brittney Griner was going to spend nine years in a Russian labor camp for less than a gram of medical cannabis, and I'm glad she's coming home. Both can be.

I’m so happy for BG. I’m upset Whelan wasn’t included. A notorious arms dealer seems more on level with an espionage charge. I hope he is freed soon.

I just feel the need to say that because she is a woman, Black, and LGBTQ, I'm glad it was Brittany.

Also less than a gram is like...a few bowls MAYBE worth of weed, depending on exactly how much it is. It is small enough of an amount that it would be easy to just forget you even have it with you.
