Part of why internet search sucks is that many gave up trying in the face of Google.

I'm guessing your understanding skipped the part about the PageRank system

Yeah it's a monopoly now, but back then it was a couple of Stanford kids with a good idea on how to make search engines suck less by ranking web pages. And it worked.

But as always, with great power...

As an added bonus: if I recall correctly (which I may not, it was a while ago now), the hilarious thing is that despite its success, the original PageRank system was based on flawed maths :D

Called Bugout for a bug inpection, and the guy said i have mice in my attic. Told me this is a mouse pee stain. Is that right?

If there is pee, there will also be poo. Have a gander and see if you see any droppings. They're like little black pellets the shape of zeppelins (if you've ever had a hamster or gerbil, they're similar), if you can't find any I'd be very dubious about mice. In my experience from having them, you hear them scuttling at night. If you're worried, you can get humane traps for pretty cheap - definitely cheaper than an exterminator.

Interesting read of a former passenger aboard the missing sub, Titan.

I'm not sure which of all the potential scenarios they could be in are the worst.

Floating on the surface, seeing the hope of survival through the window whilst being able to do nothing about it; trapped on the ocean floor being able to see nothing but each breath; or the sinister creaking that forewarns sudden breach and implosion.

I'm just going to tell myself they've all turned pirate and made for the Carribbean. No tragedy here! No sireeee.
