Please: If you decide to follow me, would you drop me a note to let me know who you are? (ESPECIALLY if I know you in another context.)
I've pretty much given up on optimizing my life; it's too easily thwarted by third parties. Now I mostly seek to avoid tedium so that I have the free time to read and learn stuff. And, of course, watch interesting videos from time to time.

DDG is strongly privacy-oriented, does not retain (much less share) your search queries, and in general, they've been pretty awesome for me. While they have AI features now, like everyone else, you can shut them off easily. Works with Safari just fine, too. (2/2)

In case you might entertain the idea of an alternative: Long ago, I switched to DuckDuckGo, which is an aggregator of sorts—it pulls in results from Google, Bing, and other search engines, and presents a list of those results, filtered for relevance. (1/2)

I feel like I should be the one to plug SLA Industries for the same reasons. I still think it's one of the most interesting and disturbing game universes out there, and the system is sound. The horror genre just isn't really my cup of tea, but I still recognize the game and its art as briliant.

I've clearly not been keeping up with the scene, as I don't know what controversy Virginia McShannock is attached to.

I'm not such an aficionado, but I do know what you have there is a New York Yankees FOOTBALL team pennant, in color. That team only existed for three years in the late 1940s, and such pennants are running $1000+.

WTH indeed. I feel rather strongly that Washington State needs a significant amount of tax reform, but I expected better than THAT from Bob Ferguson.

"I take (possibly forlorn) hope in the fact that although Adolf Hitler is a mendacious, malevolent, transparently evil man, and stupid with it, Messerschmitt is not. He is highly intelligent and, diametrically opposed to Hitler, he has the welfare of the world at heart." [1/2]
