I built a web extension that lets me use customised bangs when searching (similar to duckduckgo but fully editable to search whatever you want), makes my regular searches much quicker https://github.com/psidex/CustomBangSearch
> It's never been clear to me what the difference between pip and pip3 is. I thought pip3 was for python3 packages, but it seems like pip can also be used for python3 as well. But then sometimes it seems like if I use pip I only get the python2 version.

It's pretty simple; pip3 will always be for python3, pip2 will always be for python2. pip is context dependent, for example if you are in a python2 venv, it will use py2, and vice versa.

If you pip install a library, it will almost definitely be installed in pythondir/lib/site-packages, unless you have messed around with your installation

Are you sure? To me in the video it definitely seems like they are using an actual piercing, @ 1:05 you can see it swing away from her ear

edit:

In the pdf link above it states

> "Ear Jewelry with Wireless Audio Device" provides a headset apparatus in which the audio device extends through the piercing in the wearer's ear, with the signal path passing through the piercing of the ear itself from a wireless communications device at the first end to the sound production unit at the opposite end.
