If this "yearning for more" feeling has been around for years, I think you need to consider taking a break from work. You need to get out there and explore. You need to find out what that "more" is.

You're doing the same thing day in and day out. How do you ever expect to figure out what "more" is unless you go looking for it?

It could be as simple as burnout or the need to see the world. It could be a new career you never even thought about. Maybe you'll just discover you like walking through forests. Maybe you find a new city to live in that's better. Maybe nothing really needs to change or maybe everything does.

If that's not something you can and want to do, you'll at least want to do some soul-searching. Does it feel like there's a hole in your life? Start journaling. Talk to a therapist. If you can figure out the shape of the hole, you may figure out how to fill it.

You can. You call the school. That's what people did before schools started allowing phones everywhere.

If there is an emergency, you'll need to call them anyway. No school is just gonna let your kid leave because the kid says it's okay.

Oh yeah, that's fake. Turtles have webbed digits.

Roombas have also had "beacons" before they had any competition. You could set two of them up to block it from leaving.

I also have a hard time imagining that if a Roomba store chose to use its bots in the store, they would go with the cheapest model instead of showing off one of their top models.

It usually has better results. The features alone, however, put it above DDG.

Rankings aren't static. You can block a site, pin it to the top of results, or just derank/promote it.

Want to redirect a domain? You can do that.

Want to see specific results? Like PDFs only, or maybe just small web, educational, news stories, forums, or whatever? Use a lens!

Love AI summaries? You can use them! Hate AI summaries? Don't worry, they're off by default and require you to press the small "Summarize" button.

You probably understand bangs, right? Using !w will search Wikipedia. You probably also know that some sites, such as Reddit, have shit results so using !r would be worthless. Kagi supports bangs but also has what they call "snaps" - if you type @w, it will be replaced with site:wikipedia.com.

Oh, yeah, one more thing. No ads. There are no risks of misaligned interests between you, Kagi, and their advertisers.

That's the worst part about it - the fix is so simple. Google just completely abandoned it.

It was just a single kernel function call on a single line with slightly modified arguments. Just make a small update and it works perfectly fine.

I spent much more time researching the fix than I did applying it. But now I have to rebuild and reinstall it every single time I update my kernel.

Are you still alive? How's that blood clot doing?

I'm from Indy - no one is buying the story. The councilor is a complete tool who's hated by his own constituents and will be voted out. He's been caught multiple times making up shit like this just for attention.

Just a thought - if someone was this passionate against new AI data centers, why would they get an anti-data center flyer, put it in a plastic bag, leave it under his doormat, and then shoot up his door? If they're going to this much trouble, they want to stop the data centers. But they'd be relying on the councilor looking under his doormat and that his opinions wouldn't be hardened by this. Why wouldn't they try to kill the councilor, too? Why wouldn't they at least leave behind an actual threat?

What's much more likely is he either did this for attention or it was a drive-by shooting and he either put the flyer there himself or it just happened to already be on his porch.

You know the one thing I never see mentioned?

These systems were trained on 4Chan, Reddit, Facebook, and Twitter posts and comments. They weren't trained on military communication, guidelines, etc.

They know more about Call of Duty than they know about actual warfare. What the fuck do you think they're gonna recommend?

I've got a toddler and I'm already planning on doing that once he's old enough to retain the memories.

Wouldn't be the first time. They got caught in a huge price-fixing scandal just about a decade back and nothing changed.

And again, where are the customers going to go? There's only so much capacity and no one's building new plants.
