Thanks for the suggestion. I’ve heard of it, but haven’t tried yet - but I will.

That comma in the title made me think they blame Iran for Trump.

I gave up on Google over a decade ago - maybe two decades by now. Way back when I was using Yahoo, Ask Jeeves, Astalavista, and others. When Google came, it somehow beat them all at finding exactly what I was looking for.

Later they stopped searching for the exact words you typed, but it was okay because adding a plus in front of terms, or quotes around phrases, still let you search exact things. The combination of both systems was very powerful.

And then plus and quotes stopped working. Boolean operators stopped working. Their documentation still says they work, but they don’t.

Now, it seems like your input is used only as a general guideline to pick whatever popular search is closest to what it thinks you meant. Exact words you typed are often nowhere in the page, not even in the source.

I only search Google maps now, and occasionally Google translate.

(b) will just lead to fewer up and down votes, i.e. less engagement. That in turn could lead to slowly bleeding out.

Exactly. LHC also didn’t find that breathing air is good for you. I’m still not going to stop.

Australians can’t attack Earth, they’d fall right up into the sky without some reverse-reverse-gravity system.

This man walks so others can ride.

Yep it’s the stuff they throw at you without warning, or even trick you into viewing, that’ll scar you.

My life would make baby Godzilla cry.

I’m still enjoying Mass Effect Andromeda. The combat is a bit too action-oriented - I miss the tactics and strategy of other RPGs. But it’s not so bad that it detracts from the game’s enjoyment.

I’ve also (re)started Baldur’s Gate 1 (enhanced edition). I’m not far in yet but I can already tell it’s going to be hard picking only 5 companions. They’re all so interesting.

It will require our undivided attention.

I hear taking candy from them is easy too. I’m too scared to try though.
