I've used DDG for years (thousands of searches) and when I switch back to Google thinking I might be missing something... I'm always let down. Seriously, the results are pathetically bad now and have been for years.

Locally at least, luxury services are booming. Patreon probably isn't a "luxury" in the traditional sense, but it's certainly a luxury for the lower/middle class. Agreed on the "totally-not-a-recession"

That is correct and I really need to learn at least one tension knot.

I screw up the square knot constantly! It's not like I practice but each time I focus, try a few times and then just rage quit and tie 47 half-hitches.

I'm frankly amazed at the speed at which the Ford and Chevy native UIs will take over from CarPlay for functions like reverse camera, lane camera etc. You'd expect some delay/lag but it's pretty responsive which obvious

Personally I found CarPlay to be incredibly underwhelming. Very limited app support beyond navigation and music. In addition I frequently have issues switching which phone it's using thanks to terrible iOS BT and of course the ever an
