    I am just in the end of my first month of subscription (the cheapest, $5 one). I love it! I mean, now Kagi proposes to either pay more or forward the request to ddg/google, but I’m ok with that because the new month starts tomorrow.
    Well, it is a search, and you can search with it, and find stuff. Surprisingly, in 2010 that didn’t sound so awesome, but now it does. Because it is so great not to scroll through all the “sponsored content” and AI bullshit.
    Also, Google dropped most of the search syntax, so I couldn’t use “minus words” or, in contrary, make it unable tp depp some words from the request. Kagi has an entire page with advanced search settings, so if you suddenly find something super specific, you will like it.
    The free trial is 100 searches, so it’s enough time to see if it’s worth it - I think it is

    Uhh, I was born there :)
    Also, a lot of household stuff makers just continued making products with oldschool packaging, because it was easily recognizable. So if in the USSR you had THE condensed milk in iconic packaging, now you would have many condensed milk brands, but most of them having some kind of variations of the og package. I even have a magnet with it

    Yes, it’s a great game, and they like to play it (or to get paid more if you don’t know the rules. I was in a souvenir store in Barcelona, and there was no price tag on Gaudi-themed clock.
    Me: Excuse me, what is the price for this?
    Salesguy: [with a voice that can be used to announce a khalif coming in] FIFFFF-TY EUROS!
    Me: Oh…could it be twenty though?
    S: [his eyes shine up, I know the game] Not less than thirty five!
    Me: Could we go thirty five and throw this other thing in?
    S: It’s a deal
    I’m leaving with some souvenirs, he is happy that he sold 15 euros worth of Chinese crap for 35, We’re both thrilled by our sparring.
