google fu

That reminds me of something. I don’t remember precisely why, nor what line it resonates with in my brain, but it reminds me of this guy from The Core (movie):

That’s DJ Qualls, who was great in Z Nation. Too bad no one watched Z Nation. It was hilariously insane. I mean, radioactive post-nuke zombies? At least it got an ending.

I caught an episode of it on sci-fi and it was great. Much better than its contemporaries.

And then we had to actively unlearn that google fu because google no longer works with keywords, but rather has an NLP pipeline that expects a question.

So that’s why I can’t find shit. I always just use keywords, asking a whole question seems almost wasteful.

Wow, no wonder most of the old search commands don’t even feel like they work…

Someone used the phrase “dead-catting” on here the other day, so I went to google to figure out what the hell that meant. It gave me reults for the Catechism. Between the actual phrase “dead cat bounce” and “Catechism”, it chose the latter to show me.
