"got angry with author photos"

What is that even supposed to mean?

Taking hp as a sponsor was the worst descion Ferrari ever made, aesthetically.

You could buy am/fm watches in the 90's, not 'mp3', but would definitely be talk radio and Sinatra.

Just because it's not always 100% accurate doesn't mean it doesn't make things easier.

Example for yesterday. I was looking for some terminal command I needed to run on my router. Searched duckduckgo, the first few results were way off of what I needed, then tweaked search query and searched on Google, bunch of sponsored stuff and bunch of stuff I didnt need. Went to claude ai and it spit out the right thing first try.

I try not to default to AI chatbots, but sometimes you can't beat the results.

Also search engine results seem to suck these days, or I've just come to expect too much.

Another things that sucks with search engines these days:

Try searching for information on a subject that has been in the news recently (not info about news event), and all you get is current blogs and news articles from today and yesterday..

Could have had the parent in the comic been the dad and start the comic off "Hi Bob, this your son's school... " implying that the dad is the original Bobby Tables

This was a deal originally proposed by Zelensky to Biden administration. The deal was put on hold when Trump was elected so Ukraine could negotiate with the Trump administration before agreeing to the deal.

Then Trump came in, asked for too much, tried to bully Zelensky, and the deal fell through.

I was just in El Salvador for a month, felt safer there than most central American countries.

I think you can make a very good argument that the Smoot Hawley tarrifs were the main cause of Great Depression

There is good economic theory that Smoot Hawley actually was responsible for the initial bank failures that led to the Great Depression.
