That's pretty much it. Google returns garbage just close enough to keep you engaged. eBay seemed to be the lone holdout for accurate searching. You type in a specific part number and boom that's what you get back. Now they went the google route and return close part numbers. So you better ctrl+f to double check or wrap it in quotes.

I wasn't aware of this feature until someone told me about it. Besides wrapping quotes around words you want included, you have to get your page of shitty results back, click on Tools, then All Results, then change it to Verbatim. Now it starts listening to you again. Too bad you can't make this permanent. Hell these days when google returns shit I give Yandex a spin because it doesn't concentrate nearly as much on English language results.

I briefly thought about buying an HD radio. It was several hundred dollars at the time and then came to my senses after realizing I'd just be hearing the same shit as regular radio but now in HD. I opted for satellite instead and still pay for a streaming subscription on my phone. Last time I heard a discussion about the biggest locat station it was how the playlist hasn't changed in three decades.

Because they're old and old people like AM radio. Plus old people have nothing better to do than call state reps and write snail mail complaints.

It's not the radio that needs the shielding it's the rest of electronics in the car. The radio still needs an antenna to receive signals but it's going to be swamped by brushless motor controllers or switching power supplies.

Cars are chock full of things like switching power supplies and data buses all spewing harmonics right into the AM band.

Boeing is a prime example of what you get when the private sector is left to self regulate. Airplanes that nose dive and missing bolts with no paper trail. Business demands profit while government does not. How about the private healthcare industry in this country? We pay massive amounts for healthcare and still aren't in the top 10 for metrics like lifespan and infant mortality. The playbook is cutting government funding to make it intentionally shitty and then claiming government doesn't work. Well yeah when you actively hamstringing the people you represent. This opens the door for all you buddies with businesses to take over what the government was doing so they can profit at the tax payers expense. I certainly haven't seen any evidence of privatization helping consumers.

The joke is on him. I'm a greybeard so I just su like a real man.

I mean he works for Microsoft. That says it all.

I don't claim to be for small government and personal responsibility while at the same time creating laws that contradict my claims.

It's about control. People are looking at porn in the privacy of their homes and that makes Jesus weep. They're already working on censoring the internet because people might google abortion. https://www.theverge.com/2023/...

From the Help! social media is censoring us! crowd.

Stacking a court with unqualified partisan stooges might have been a bad idea.

Small government.

That's some funny shit. I'm bleeding out in the back of an ambulance while calling hospitals to haggle over ER prices.

People die in the USA because they can't afford an ambulance ride. Canada's healthcare has taken a decline because the conservative party cuts funding so their buddies who own private practices can cash in.
