My wife is there.
She’s gotten two knee replacements this year and is scheduled for a hip replacement before the end of the year. And last night I reminded her she’s been meaning to go to a dermatologist.

Google makes money on ads. They make $300-$400 annually per user by displaying ads.
They are motivated to tarpit you in order to show you more ads.
Giving you your results quickly and efficiently costs them revenue.
Use kagi, or another search engine.
I commend you, but it’s a losing battle.
It really grates on me when I read “sike”.
When I was younger and drank more I did this, and it sure helps with hard liquor.
When you’re drunk that big glass of water can be hard to get down, but do it anyway.
Right? Look at Mr. Moneybags over here that can afford toothpaste. I use hand soap as toothpaste and I’m glad to have it.
Doesn’t that just create an echo chamber here?
Kagi has lenses.
Fitting username.
I use LLMs for C code - most often when I know full well how to code something but I don’t want to spent half a day expressing it and debugging it.
ChatGPT or Copilot will spit out a function or snippet that’s usually pretty close to what I want. I patch it up and move on to the tougher problems LLMs can’t do.
Please try kagi.
Not saying it’s you, but some people that think paying for Search is silly have forgotten how wonderful clean searches with actual answers are.
I totally came to say this. Google has become designed to tarpit you into staying on the site longer. They no longer have the goal of giving you what you want quickly, they want you to see more ads.
Google makes $307/yr. per user. They are strongly motivated to tarpit us. If we want a clean search experience we need to be open to the idea of paying.
As an embedded systems dev that searches a lot of obscure stuff, I use Kagi and love it. Go try its free searches and see for yourself.
If you value your time and mental stability, please do yourself a favor and go see what clean, high quality search results look like on Kagi.
Must be strong; a wheel of cheese weighs 75 pounds.
At my business for the eclipse a few months ago I bought a bunch of catered barbecue and set up a tent and chairs and gave the employees a couple of hours to watch it.
We had a bunch of the cheap glasses but the experience was far better looking though welding glass we’d taken out of the helmets.
I use kagi and really like it. I find it worth the money as a business owner and software dev. I feel I’m more productive.
You can set up your own “lenses” which are targeted, customized searches and then use a keyword to invoke them. Pretty handy when you routinely search for obscure topics.
I saw a butterfly in my yard a few days ago and I just stared at it and realized that I don’t think I’ve seen one in years.
The problem is that store bought croutons have normalized being dry, hard bullets. It’s not like that when they’re made fresh. They’re beautiful little pieces of buttered texture in your salad.
Well I think it does, because they don’t know literally everything about us yet. But they will one day if we don’t fight back.
As Doctorow points out, ‘Saying security and privacy don’t matter because you have nothing to hide is like saying freedom of speech doesn’t mater because you have nothing to say.’
It’s a very short-sighted view. Those rights will be taken from you if you don’t protect them.
Interesting tidbit: He filmed his audition tape for House from his hotel room during the shooting of Flight of the Phoenix.
