Googling is proving fruitless :(

Tried googling something earlier today and it had no idea what I was talking about apparently. For a lark I tried Bing. Got it in the first result.

i actually used duckduckgo as my default then switched to google, but im also trying to commodify their trademark. i should probably say like "i googled that on ddg" or whatever. good call

as a veteran of the platform wars of the late 1990s, bing didnt cross my mind as a serious option

No, you can tell they have their own algorithm because it sucks and 1/3rd of the time I have to go to google to find what I want instead.

From testing, I'm pretty sure it's literally just Bing. Same exact results that are often kind of crap.

It's also in the spirit of the original Olympics, where one of the most famous wrestling champions actually died during a match and they gave him the victory, as obviously he was willing to go even to the death in order to win.

My understanding is Microsoft and Alphabet are the only companies that actually have a complete image of the net available, and basically all other search engines have to piggyback on one of those services.

In the South, in addition to mosquitoes that once carried yellow fever and malaria, they are blessed with biting insects so tiny that they can crawl through ordinary window screens.

They call these bastards “no-see-ums” and have to have to use extra fine screens to keep them out.

The gang includes several goats, a flock of chickens, some thirty dogs and cats and his favourite -- an adult wild boar named Mara.

Petrovic found her eight years ago as a helpless piglet entangled in the bushes, and bottle-fed her until she recovered.

Now, the intimidating 200-kilogramme (440 pound) animal playfully rolls in the creek and eats apples from Petrovic's hand.

"She means everything to me, I love her and she listens to me. There is no money that can buy such a thing. A true pet", Petrovic said.

Among the animals, there are three kittens whose mother was killed by a wolf, which he now feeds through a syringe.
