The clarity on the hockey puck style Google home is very good. Surprisingly does a good job playing back music as well too.
The Google home max is excellent. It sounds like high end bookshelf speaker and when want to get stupid, it gets loud at high levels with little distortion. I don't have one but I demoed one at a Google store in NYC, in a silent booth. Is it worth $400 yes...if you can get it for less by all means I'll buy this speaker till I get the chance to demo the apple homepod.

I have an Alexa (Echo dot), was given as a gift. I ask her every morning the weather, and have used it to play music. Other than that, it sits on my t.v. stand

there is some usefulness with the smart speakers but ultimately people are bugging their own crib, speakers are listening/recording 24/7, no bueno.
at least with phones there is airplane mode or off/locked.

Not gonna lie, i came in here thinking this was about the show "Bachelor Pad" on ABC. After watching last night's legendary episode of the Bachelor, it got me into thinking about BP.

Thier is a physical mute switch on the Google home devices. Not sure of Alexa, but proably sure toggle in the software. They listen but not all the time. You should look at your TV cause that's always listening ain't no toggle for that.

I have both the echo dot and google home mini, they’re both useful for different things. For commands, shopping, and general info Alexa wins but like was mentioned Google takes the cake for natural language and fact listing.

Google Home really shines when you add other smart devices to it. I bought the Home Minis while they were on sale and then for Christmas I got my girlfriend Philips Hue lights. Add in a Chromecast and suddenly I can just tell the Home to play music in a certain room, turn the TV on, change the lights, in addition to it's normal features and functions.
I didn't think I would be into it, but once I got a small taste, I REALLY liked smart home tech. At the very least, the Home gives you a speaker, an assistant, and a hub for future smart devices.
I use mine every single day. Setting reminders is incredibly useful, same with timers, alarms, a quick question, it'll even tell you recipes step by step. Smart home tech is dope.

Can anyone recommend a good lounge chair that's doesn't consume too much space I can stick in my room for when I'm just chilling watching TV or doing computer work?

I did those myself. I enjoy doing these type of projects and woodworking so I'll attempt just about anything. My next project will be to build a new surround for the fireplace.

DID SOME MORE WORK ON THE ACRYLIC DISPLAY COFFEE TABLE I'M BUILDING. ACRYLIC CAME IN YESTERDAY, SO I DECIDED TO GLUE THE PIECES TOGETHER AND GET IT READY TO SET ON THE WOODEN BASE FRAME.
ALL GLUED UP
TESTING LED LIGHTS UNDERNEATH THE TRANSLUCENT WHITE ACRYLIC FLOOR
THREW IN THE BATMOBILE TUMBLER AND BTTF DELOREAN TO GET A SENSE OF HOW THEY WILL LOOK ONCE THE COFFEE TABLE IS COMPLETE
DID RUN INTO A SNAG WHEN WIFE DRIPPED A BIT OF GLUE ON ONE OF THE CORNERS OF THE ACRYLIC, BUT NOTHING SOME WET SANDING AND BUFFING WON'T TAKE OUT.
