I think there was actually a “darknet” version of altavista that was called Astalavista too. If you were sailing the high seas back then, or looking for the anarchists cookbook, for research purposes.

You know, I was very much agreeing to OP, until your comment. You make a convincing point.
I think we can all agree that daylight savings needs to die though.

- Comment on ‘Zombie Offices’ Spell Trouble for Some Banks - The New York Times 9 months ago:
Yes, thank you! I hate this constant narrative that back-to-office is always tied to commercial real-estate investments, or that there’s some magical tax incentive.
Usually what you have is: bank lends money to a commercial real estate company that owns the building. Commercial real estate company leases out office space to one or many companies. When those companies reduce or terminate their leases, the commercial real estate company struggles to pay their mortgage and defaults. Commercial real estate loses. Bank loses. And if commercial real estate had pooled investments to fund the building (along with bank loan), then those investors lose as well.
There are some large companies that own their own buildings, but that’s more of an exception.

- Comment on What's the deal with buying single cans out of a multipack at a bottle shop? (Australia) 11 months ago:
Where I live, they will often have a label on the pack that says whether it can be “divided” or not. I agree though that it’s a grey area until you see packs that have already been opened. For example, I wouldn’t take just one yoghurt, and I would never open up a pack that had glass bottles, so it seems unique to plastic and cans.

- Comment on X advertisers stay away as CEO defends Musk’s “go f*** yourself” interview 11 months ago:
I think the problem is that most often the buck doesn’t stop with them. They always find a way to find a scapegoat instead. If they were 100% liable for anything wrong the company does, we’d be on the right path. But it’s always a “rogue employee”.
