Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Huh. If I'm using the device, there are updates daily, and I update daily. At least.

I have a mild (okay, great) bingo! EverWebClipper does let you WYSIWYG clip pages (at least from Opera) or clip just the URL like normal, or an unstyled version. It's a damned shame it's necessary, but hey. It works.

I'm not sure how I got it free, though. I def didn't pay $3.

Trust my rage

I can't stand the little red circle so I update daily.

I upgrade about once a week or so, when I'm in wifi.

Every other week, or so. Usually gets into the teens.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I couldn't stand the little red circles either. Then at some point laziness started winning out.

Is there any not-spilling-the-beans explanation I can get for why, on a simple search of a provocative term, google.com results look like google.co.uk results with safesearch on? And it's not until I get specific ("hard cock" vs 'cock" for instance) that they tend to be equivalent in terms of rating? I'm guessing there's a sort of geographical skewing for why the two "hard cock" searches are so different, but a "tits" search with safesearch on in co.uk is really very similar in results to the same search with it off in .com.

Has there ever been a public statement about that, I guess, is a better question? .co.jm looks pretty similar to the UK, FWIW.

Google just made some changes to their image search. IIRC, even with safe search off, it won't show you naughty images unless you specifically search for naughty stuff. I forget how it determines if you're looking for naughty pictures.

Maybe google in the UK hasn't made this switch yet.

Was a rationale presented along with the change to remove search results from the pool? Are they irrelevant? Inappropriate? If I have safesearch off, I'm a big girl, and I'm willing to deal with the results of a search for cock or tits. I'm not an idiot.

Are their text searches still okay? I didn't think there was anything that would shift me from using Google as my primary search engine, but that's because I was thinking that no competitor was going to be better. I didn't think they were going to hamstring themselves. How peculiar.
