My main money thing is figuring how to find stuff on the internet. Mostly finding people in the context of trying to offer them jobs. I consult, train and offer certification via https://sourcingcertification.com/. Slightly less new here, now.

And a parlay on their grocery bill.
Promotional image from coverd.com showing a purported app screenshot. The user is indicated to have spent seventeen thousand USD in the past two days, including hundreds on Uber Eats and thousands at Trader Joes. The user is cajoled to 'win it back' via games of chance.

Hmm, at a friend's house, I think.

One of these two:
Front of box art for Taito's 1982 Atari title "Jungle Hunt." Depicts a man swinging over a river on a vine being chased by crocodiles and "natives" which, wow, 1982, ffs. Front of box art for Activision's 1980 Atari title "Boxing." Depicts a stylized game still- simplified top-down view of figures engaged in a boxing match.

2000 characters, even. It is inconvenient as fuck, and I dunno if I'm doing it right most of the time. Takes forever.

But I love a culture willing to invest that effort on the off chance someone might benefit from it at some future date.

So, it has come to this.

Not to mention how badly this has messed up even regular old search. We hit peak useful Google in 2017ish and it has been degrading since.

Screenshot of the Adverse Effects subheading of the Fluoroscopy entry on English Wikipedia. Contains a picture of fluoroscopy burns on the back of a human torso and arm, and the text: "The use of X-rays, a form of ionizing radiation, requires the potential risks from a procedure to be carefully balanced with the benefits of the procedure to the patient. Because the patient must be exposed to a continuous source of X-rays instead of a momentary pulse, a fluoroscopy procedure generally subjects a patient to a higher absorbed dose of radiation than an ordinary (still) radiograph. Only important applications such as health care, bodily safety, food safety, nondestructive testing, and scientific research meet the risk-benefit threshold for use. In the first half of the 20th century, shoe-fitting fluoroscopes were used in shoe stores, but their use was discontinued because it is no longer considered acceptable to use radiation exposure, however small the dose, for nonessential purposes. Much research has been directed toward reducing radiation exposure, and recent advances in fluoroscopy technology such as digital image processing and flat panel detectors, have resulted in much lower radiation doses than former procedures. Because fluoroscopy involves the use of X-rays, a form of ionizing radiation, fluoroscopic procedures..."
