I live in a pretty mountainous area, but I can think of a couple blind corners on small hills near me. So probably the one on the way to the bakery while running or biking.

But I do a lot of ski touring so I'd rather die on one of the big ones.

The Office means the British version. The American office refers to the American version.

Fish is superior to Bash and ZSH, I dont care that you can have auto completion on both its a pain to set up.

Single-speed bicycles suck.
They combine the drawbacks of a geared bike with the drawbacks of a fixed gear bike.

Appliances and cars should never have an internet connection for any reason.

Also fuck touch screens give me buttons.

The word Himalayan is pronounced like Him-a-lay-an, NOT Him-all-ee-an.....

Water is wet

Pedestrians have the right of way. Most of the other hills are survivable.

Cloud-based. If a product won't work if my internet dies, or I can't access my data without internet or a subscription, I won't buy it.

Probably a slightly higher stair in a staircase one day

Search engines should not use locational data including IP address to provide "more relevant" results. Checking for restaurants or weather forecast? You should have to manually add the relevant search terms. Want results in a specific language? You should have to manually apply this filter.

Convenience is not worth the potential harm of locationally biased search results.

For example, where I live is like White Nationalist Central Station. My search results are thus far more likely to net me results with a pro-US/nationalist skew, thus potentially entrenching or normalizing harmful beliefs.

Whenever I've tried bringing this up with Techlords, I get a feeble, "B-but then you couldn't say 'restaurants near me' UnU" and like ... good? It's not like it's hard to type city and state in the search field.

I've never found a search engine that even has this as an option. Even Sear XNG instances net results that are clearly aligned with the location of the instances server.

A Kagi dev even lied to me when I was looking into that as an alternative, saying they don't use location, when it's pretty easy to determine that they do.

I also don't want a "good" algorithm. I also don't want to see big corporate sites prioritized either. If some backwoods nobody has a site that's more relevant, show it to me. I feel like pre-Google search engines were better, but that's another vent for another day.

Now where did I put my false teeth and walker???
