Should libraries run search engines? It seems that the original point of a library was to organize human knowledge and culture for the public benefit. The benefit has been great, but libraries aren't the main tool for finding information now. Search engines are. The notion that a library needs to be for books only is an arbitrary limitation. This oversight allowed corporations to move into that traditionally non-profit role, and I'm not convinced they've done a particularly good job.

Today, I dragged @StuartBeveridge to Chorley to see a fantastic bridge.

I think perhaps the saddest thing about life is when you gradually realise that your ambition and skills eclipse those around you and you are forced to abandon old friends and make new ones in order to live life at a higher level of consciousness.

The truest friends are the ones who would both share an alleyway with you or visit you in a mansion. You know who your true friends are when they don't give a fuck about your job or anything. Whether that means not caring you earn nothing or not being jealous when you have a lot later.
if this shit starts up again i am legit pulling the plug and moving off grid to a state like montana, and there won't be property records because I'll be squatting in a national park
