Nothing much but here's my bike after grocery shopping
  • Usually you have to lift them straight up, often with another clip to release. You can’t just pull them off in passing - you’d pull down the bike, perhaps fall too, and have nothing to show for it.

    Remember when games had manuals too?
  • Yesterday I came across my old Icewind Dale box. The manual is 130 pages with tiny print.

    I had also put the Forgotten Realms Archive manual in there, which is 368 pages - but to be fair that’s for all 12 games.

    Let's Uninstall Chrome but...
  • There is, but on iPhone at least it sucks. I love Vivaldi on desktop - every time I try something else I quickly give up. But on mobile I can’t endorse it at the moment.

    Perhaps it’s better on Android though, I don’t know.

    What are the best books?
  • 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.
