It's been there for several years now, hasn't it?

And you didn't carry it with you everywhere.

It blows my mind that my kids will never know what it's like to wait for a bus with nothing else to do.

There was bitbucket.
Yeah, that is pretty much Ethics 101. I think it's time to bring back ethics lessons in schools.

Yes

That's not the workflow your GP is describing.
Just tried to test it out and I'm now seeing correct results when I set the region to 'US' and an empty list of results when using my own region. This is not at all what I was seeing earlier.

Perhaps they're A/B testing or something?

How is it supposed to work? I expect to see only those results that contain an exact match on the entire phrase between the quotes but perhaps I've misunderstood?
Doesn't work for me. Like the GP, I get results unrelated to Lowes, bedding or even pets.

But then you have to laboriously unflip half of them to put them away. Unless you are cutlery pointing in both directions like a Philistine?

I have literally never once worried about whether my family are secretly peeing into mugs, emptying them and planting them into an empty dishwasher.

I guess now I will.

Structured logs. Probably json.
Even reading from disk ought to be way faster than the typical Postgres use case of going over the network, shouldn't it?

I find that pretty hard to believe without a citation.
