I'm 60 now and am literally a Boomer; fast food has definitely gotten worse. Especially in the last 10 years or so. The foods and processes have been tweaked and tuned to the point that the value of the food hovers just barely above the price and not a tick more.

Health concerns also play a role. McDonald's fries are a good example. When I was young they were cooked in beef tallow and they were so good they would roll your eyes back in your head in in ecstacy (not kidding). They switched to vegetable oil due to health concerns over saturated fats and they've just never been the same.

Try kagi. It's paid at $5/mo., but you get 300 searches to try it out.

It's useful for my firmware development, but it's a tool like any other. Pros and cons.

I agree that he was pretty hostile but it's Fox News. To be expected.

But she's the sitting Vice President. "Yes, madam Vice President." or at least "Yes, ma'am./madam." is the appropriate way to reference her though.

Five years ago the audience would have fawned all over this kind of crap.

It's good to see people are wise to his stock pumping strategy now.

It's intentional.

Obviously, Google makes money showing ads during search. But they have finally bit the bullet and starting tarpitting users in search in order to show more ads.

A quick, useful, and accurate search means that you're on their site for the least amount of time, perhaps mere seconds. That's not what's best for revenue growth.

PS: Go try Kagi and be reminded what good clean search results look like. I use it because my time has value. It's very good.

And a crematorium.

Not just the best press conference of 2020, but one of the most hilarious political fuck-ups of my lifetime. And I'm a Boomer.

How is throwing your vote into a hole going to help exactly?

I'm 60. I would argue that 20 years is not a long time. Keep pushing.
