Thank you! Sometimes the hardest thing is knowing what to google!
- duxup 9y agoI do a lot of furious googling thinking: "Oh man this has to be a thing but what could it be and how would someone describe it?... awe forget it." Then months later by accident while looking at a completely different topic: "OMG there it is, the thing!"
- CPLX 9y agoIndeed. This happened to me the other day trying to find the name for a domino joiner while googling for biscuit joiners.

- Grae 9y agoToday I learned the true name of true name.
