Could just order some from China(1). Have to read the description carefully tho. Usually anything under 15USD not worth buying and over 30USD you're overpaying.

Buckwheat and add butter. Delicious, nutritious and easy to prepare. I buy buckwheat for about 3$ CAD / 900 grams here in Canada.

I would love to see youtube add more videos to the recommended section. Right now I believe the limit is 18. When you load the homepage it shows you 12 tiles and you can click "show more" to display 6 more for a total of 18.

Seems to work fine for me. You just have to click "not interested" on every video of the topic that you don't like and after 5 times or so it stops recommending that topic.

Let's say you watched a video called "Top 10 most amazing things you never knew until today" and now the youtube algo recommends you a bunch of clickbait. Just hit "not interested" on every single clickbait video you see and eventually it stops showing you those videos unless you watch more of them.

Re:Google Downranks 65,000 Pirate Sites in Search Results on Saturday June 30, 2018 @01:50PM (#17431824)
I like to use Yandex when I can't find something using Google. Their search results feel more raw and untouched.
I've got rid of updates and some of the tracking on my Win10 pro by disabling the associated windows services. Other annoying quirks like the OneDrive icon can be removed by editing the registry. I do wish that Microsoft would provide an easier way to do this.
