google search results are still kind of useful especially for non-english language queries, anyone knows a good alternative?

searxng also doesn't really seem to work these days..

Hi hello. Happy #Caturday! I would like to introduce you to our little weirdo, Lennie.

Look at this little dummy! What a sweetie. (Richmond, VA)

Lennie is the newest member of The Goblin Hoard. He was born 06/28/2025 and his gotcha date was 10/04/2025. We don't exactly know his breed, but he looks like a lynx point Siamese to us. We named him after Lennie from the John Steinbeck novel Of Mice and Men. If you've read it, you know Lennie was big, sweet, and not the sharpest. We took one look at our derpy little buddy and knew it fit.

He's very best buds with Linus and they're always hanging out and getting into shenanigans together. They play and play and play together. They hang out on the back porch, keeping watch over the backyard. He even interacts with grumpy pants Lily.

It took him the longest of any of our cats to learn how to use the cat door. He'd sit and watch the others use it, then he'd approach and inspect it. He did that for weeks and weeks before actually doing it. Even to this day, he still kind of tumbles through it as if he's surprised it worked.

Some of our kitties are snugglers like Linus, Mac and Polly, while others are more aloof, and Lennie falls squarely in the aloof camp. He likes to be around us, or at least in the same room, and he'll allow us to give him some pets, but pets are not his favorite thing. He especially doesn't want his head petted or his face touched.

He's pretty timid around new people or strange, loud noises. If the garbage truck is coming down the alley, he books it inside and heads straight upstairs. If we have guests over, he makes himself quite scarce. Oddly enough, he's not timid around strange cats. There's a neighborhood cat that comes around who is somewhat aggressive, but Lennie wants to be his friend. It's quite odd considering how he is about everything else!

We quite love Lennie. Please enjoy these photos of our little weirdo.

In the months leading up to Jeffrey Epstein’s arrest on federal sex trafficking charges on July 6, 2019, a small U.S. Virgin Islands bank he owned that had employed no one and laid dormant for years suddenly came alive.

A flurry of transactions totaling more than $20 million passed through the bank named Southern Country International from April to early July that year, according to a Miami Herald investigation based on the recently released documents by the U.S. Justice Department.

And months after the disgraced financier was found dead in a Manhattan detention facility on Aug. 10, an additional $25 million was moved through Southern Country, with roughly a quarter of that amount coming from unspecified sources.

Federally protected in the US by the Migratory Bird Act of 1918, possession of brown pelican feathers is a major no-no. Migratory Bird Act was a mostly direct response to the decimation of bird populations so ladies could have a hat adorned with feathers. The law makes zero differentiation between feathers fallen off a fully healthy, living bird as part of natural processes, and one that you acquired from shooting and killing the bird.

Brown Pelicans were nearly killed off due to DDT, until it was outlawed. Since DDT bioaccumulates in their food web, the pelicans were laying eggs with shells so thin due to DDT that just during the process of incubation the parents would invariably crush their eggs. The banning of DDT allowed the bird to be removed from the Endangered Species List in 2009.

I think Brown Pelicans might be my favorite bird.

I'm not talking about the "typical" junk food (like KFC or McDonalds), instead it's more on certain aspects of Japanese cuisine being carb heavy or features fried items such as: ramen, agepan, karage, tempura, gyudon, tonkatsu, yakitori, etc. I mean, can ramen or gyudon bowls still be deemed "fast food" even though they appear 'healthier' than American fast food.

Yes, the upper left half is "done".

Personally, I have never seen this many issues with Windows like today. Even way back in the Windows Vista days. Woah, Windows Vista will be 20 years old in November...

If you are forced to still be on Windows 11.

This file can be found in the following directory,

C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\CapabilityAccessManager\

Then see if it shows a huge file size.

Windows Latest found that one particular file called “CapabilityAccessManager.db-wal” can use most of your system storage.

If your PC is affected, the safest fix is to install Windows 11 KB5095093 from Windows Update, or wait for the July 2026 Patch Tuesday update, where the fix is expected to roll out automatically.
