There are giant swaths of area with no coverage, especially in the mountains of arizona, including the freeways and especially highways. The entire western US can be spotty with signal out in the great wide open. It isn't until the Midwest and more east that one should largely not worry about signal coverage anymore.

What is a non-mechanical mechanical part?

Maybe it is my ad blocker that is filtering this kind of stuff for me. Or maybe the things I look up most often are specific enough that there isn't much bullshit or clickbaity stuff to show. Sure, I'll see the occasional "Sponsored" link. I think my brain just auto-filters those and I don't even take notice. I really don't intend to sound like a Google fanboy - I'm not. I just don't seem to experience this, but hear people say this a lot. The attached screenshot seems like a typical result for something I'd look up, and it's exactly what I'm looking for. In any case, thanks for your perspective. I'm going to try to be more conscious to see if I'm just fooling myself.

As a programmer and system admin, I've been using Google since its inception, too. I can't think of an instance that I've failed to find whatever I'm looking for in recent times. People say what you're saying a lot, so I don't doubt you. It just makes me wonder what it is you guys are searching for because I search for some extremely obscure stuff quite often with no issues. This is all to say, I have a fair share of qualms with Google, but the search engine itself isn't one of them.

Doesn't make much sense to me, the way you used it. An example of nepotism might be if you gave your drug dealer a job instead of other candidates just because he is your drug dealer. Doing drugs with employees isn't necessarily nepotism.

Google Maps is always dead on for me. I regularly drive very long distances across the US. The time estimates are within minutes of accurate even when there are sudden or extreme backups like in Los Angeles. There's plenty to criticize Google for, but it isn't Google maps for me.

Despite autopilot's flaws, this is already true, if we are speaking statistically.

Most companies try to gain and retain customers. You're suggesting that at Chipotle, they sat down and decided to actively not help theirs?

Buddy, we are talking about planes. But no, that isn't the issue.

Agreed. I highly recommend a bidet. Feels so gross without one. But this works in a...... Pinch

Am I the only one around here that just wads up an adequate amount, based on thickness? Even the cheapest of toilet paper is never an issue with this method.

Ash is the only one I'm aware of, but that's primarily going to be found and used on stuff like routers or other embedded devices. Any modern shell can support history. That said, many users will disable it or wipe it on logout for security reasons.
