If you think the American companies do anything different you’re not paying attention and simply believing the propaganda.

Can the “my brother in christ” thing please die?

Worst part of this is 4-space indents. Damn script kiddies.

My wife and I had ceramic tile installed in our kitchen when we remodeled our house. Didn’t like it so four years later we had it torn out and had oak flooring installed. Couldn’t be happier. High quality hardwood floors are really durable.

My 60th birthday.

“I’m in.”

Try kagi. It’s paid at $5/mo., but you get 300 searches to try it out.

Interesting tidbit: He filmed his audition tape for House from his hotel room during the shooting of Flight of the Phoenix.

You can find it on YouTube.

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.

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.

Kagi has lenses.

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.

I was just reminding you that many of us have jobs or software tools that preclude us from using Linux day-to-day regardless of how much we might like the idea. Having a more comfortable windows experience has value to us.

I’m locked on windows because of very expensive embedded systems dev tools. Give people some credit for having considered linux; not everyone can switch.

I’d love to switch to linux but it just doesn’t make sense for me.

I’m an embedded systems developer and my proprietary toolchain is windows only. Additionally I use several Adobe product routinely (illustrator, photoshop, premier).

Sucks.

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.

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.
