in my state it has been made a legal mandate that you have to wear masks or you won't receive service in public businesses. Of course the attourney general is suing our governor for that, which means he's lost my vote.I'm not really for the

on the skills portion, you'll need to say activate "skillname" to use a skill for the first time, it will be a local skill from then on. For example, you can play Code Signus on the Echo, but it isn't a local skill until you say "allexxa, activate Codename Signus."
