The book I'm reading suggests that Google became so market dominant that most people couldn't name a search engine that came before it, so I'm curious.

The scuff-marks on this boat looks like a painting.

go yell at mark carney or your own local politicians about climate change and urge them to do more to stop it. the namaygoosisagagun first nation had their community destroyed today. you can find a link to donate to them here. donate to your local food bank. go to the beach next week when the smoke clears and you don’t have to think about it anymore while the people who’s lives have been destroyed will have to pick up the pieces and try to move forward when we are already in a huge cost of living crisis across the country.

and the anishinabek nation’s page where you can donate to support the namaygoosisagagun nation who had their land destroyed by the fires is still accepting donations

Krabi (1976), Václav Mergl.

It involved a weapons experiment with autonomous drones that fed on metal on an island, observed by IIRC a pair of scientists and created by a weapons' engineer looking to make the ultimate weapon. He was expecting that the competition among them will quickly produce the ultimate killing machine... well, vehicle killing at least. I *think* they were controllable, too? Anyhow, what happened was exactly what's pictured - they fought among themselves, evolving fascinating weaponry and methods of attack.. .but it quickly became apparent the conditions favour huge, lumbering forms rather than the quick and nimble can-openers he was expecting. In the end... I can't recall if the control mechanism became lost or the simply evolved "past" it as it had no bearing on their survival, but the engineer himself died at their pincers due to having gold teeth and metal-rim glasses (which his killer consumed) and finally, the battling resulted in one huge, lumbering and useless crab which went into hibernation as the couple looked for ways to escape the island, now realizing it wasn't interested in them

You are correct! It is in fact based on Anatolij Dneprov's short story.

This is in a sense the opposite of what most major search engines do, they favor modern websites over old-looking ones. Most links you find here will be nearly impossible to find on a regular search engine, as they aren’t sufficiently search engine optimized.

I don’t expect this will be the next “big” search engine. This is and will remain a niche tool for a niche audience.“

INCREDIBLE. I *do* want to know how to test Windows 95 for Y2K Compliance and I am glad that someone is still hosting step by step instructions for that.

Good luck out there surfing the cyberweb, you crazy cats. I love the shoelace website too - Ian’s Shoelace Site [link], unless there’s another. My personal favorite old-school site is Alysion’s string figure collection [link].
