    The most baffling thing modern search engines do, especially DuckDuckGo, is a page of search results in they inevitably throw in some unrelated results involving my location as looked up by my IP.

    I’m not sure why when looking for old Sega console stuff it wants me to know about plumbers in what it thinks my city is, but it’s sure dedicated to me finding out! :facepalm:
