I think I might end up paying for Kagi. It has a really nice feature, a domain can be blocked or downgraded. That means goodbye to trashy click-bait websites that take up 20 paragraphs spread over dozens of ads to convey a few sentences of information.

For example, everyone is familiar with Tostitos chips, but have you seen Calidad? It's a quarter the price and taste just as good if not better.
However, in my local store it is hidden away in the international aisle on the top shelf.

Why did it take so long to find this brand of tortilla chips. They are awesome and cost only $1.67. I'm never going back to Tostitos. Why are they so damn expensive?

I am a den leader for a local Cub Scout Pack, and I am finding a use for my 3D printer: printing out small prizes to give kids another incentive to do their best during the meetings. These inexpensive prints are easy to produce, and the scouts love them.

I worked at a place that let go of a significant number of engineers about 2 years back, and let's say the environment was less than healthy.
Anyway, I took a look at their job postings today out of curiosity, and it sounds like they can't fill roles. I guess some things never change.
