It seems like none of the older powerful Google search syntax works for me anymore.

I mean, this is a big part of the issue. Of course the issue isn't reproducible; Google is trying to do the search based on their model of what you want back. Sometimes you benefit from that, other times it pushes the results you want

You are now the second person to recommend me an idea in that vein; I have just been using a steering wheel lock since I can't actually get an immobilizer rn. So I think I will actually materialize on your idea. Appreciate the comment.

I was in the same boat until my car was stolen. If you haven't heard of it, look up the Kia Boys, though the same rules apply to Hyundais. If you do manage to get the car back, you find yourself much more interested in car anti-theft m

Not OP, but this wasn't my experience at all. Pretty effortlessly switched away from Microsoft Office even before Libreoffice overtook OpenOffice (not sure of the year I switched, but I'd wager 2008 or so?). And the Google suite w

Yes, but before Göring could appear before Nuremberg a war needed to be won. Nothing anyone claims about war crimes, etc has teeth until someone with a bigger stick beats them into submission.

I don't understand why you care. You have plenty of karma so you're not at risk of going negative, and the karma is ultimately meaningless. Stop feeding your troll my dude. Also, commenting on votes is against the guidelines for b

Over half of the comments in this thread are exceedingly negative and some are claiming it's racist satire. It's fairly out-of-line, and as is often the case the HN mob is in the wrong.

Arguably this will go even worse; with fully CGI and "AI" models there is no real upper bound on unrealistic bodies, short of them no longer looking human at all.

Notably there is no downvote for submissions, so you can't just downvote the things you think don't belong/are bad. You have to decide whether to ignore it or to flag it in the case that it egregiously doesn't belong or

Every one of your points is extremely wrong, except the first. We don't live in 2014, and we aren't talking about the Liberator anymore. Electrochemical machining means that anyone can rifle a barrel in their closet, there are ton

"Yeah, I'm thinking the solution is ban more stuff and then hand the reigns back to the regulators who have definitely not been subject to regulatory capture by the companies that started the opioid epidemic." That is sarcasm

I love how nuanced the thinkers of HN are. Given the responses here, evidently the options are to either (a) let Purdue market heroin to kids or (b) ban all non-pharmaceutical drugs and give no-knock warrants to FULLY TACTICAL® DEA AGENTS s

I was responding to the question about what link OP was trying to draw between BitChute and Mastodon, no idea at all about the second question re censoring Mastodon links on Twitter. But again, responding to your parallel comment, OP is not

I think the idea is that BitChute tries to position itself as an alternative to YouTube, and Google (as the owner of YouTube) is doing its damnedest to prevent people from using the alternative. Replace BitChute with Mastodon and Google&#x2

It's not reflexive-contrarianism as such; it's that the science press has historically been so , so bad that cynicism is the only healthy response. Think of the last 5 things you've seen in the science press: which ones we

This is extremely misleading. In the US, the ATF has stated in past rulings that electronically-fired semi-auto weapons are functionally equivalent to full auto weapons in the case where there is not manual user input per shot. (If there i
