'Public restrooms in the city are hard to find and are often either out of order or require you to buy something at a store or café to be able to use. The problem is so bad that individuals have created their own resources for finding public restrooms.

A new Google Maps layer introduced by the city attempts to tackle this issue.'

One of the nurses came in to check on Granny while I was visiting. She stood by the bed and said "Hello, Miss Olivia!"

Granny looked up and smiled at her and said, "Hello! Thank you! You're so kind and nice."

"Thank you!" the nurse said.

"And you have such pretty teeth!" Granny said.

"What a nice thing to say!" the nurse replied.

Granny nodded and continued sweetly, "Are they youuurrrrrssss?"

I about died

@anathema_device I said "Ma'am, I am so sorry," and she just kind of waved her hand and said "they say what they say."

If Google's AI is so freaking great, THEY SHOULD USE IT TO FIX GOOGLE MAPS

'Over the past several years, Emery County has had a problem with drivers putting “Utah” into Google Maps and becoming stranded on East Mountain. After pressure following the worst incident yet, Google corrected the issue.'

HOW MUCH MONEY was this sheriff's office forced to spend because Google didn't fix this problem?

'The Emery County Sheriff’s Office provided ABC4.com with information on nine cases from the past two years where travelers were stranded on East Mountain — either lost, stuck or out of gas — after their navigation system had directed them up the mountain road.'

Dear God the FROG ABS

'Calvin Klein's CK One was the first scent to be openly marketed as unisex, but in 1995, Bloomingdale's was the exclusive purveyor of Amphibia, an eau de toilette pour homme, femme et frog. It's fantastic. I was not at all prepared for Kermit's six-pack abs and the tiny towel makes me vaguely uncomfortable.'

'Because of saneism, mad people are often denied the ability to define their own experience — as evidenced by the push to cure autistic people of something much of the community doesn’t view as a disease. Of her own experience, Yakas said that the messaging she received was, “I have a broken brain. Nothing that I’m saying is real. Everything is irrational.” '

Good morning to everybody but especially this stingray who is also apparently a self-contained soap opera. Get well soon.

"A North Carolina aquarium that said it had a pregnant stingray with no male companion now says the fish has a rare reproductive disease."

This is a thin list of Google alternatives and I'm disappointed in Lifehacker. No Mojeek? No Stract? No You.com ? C'mon now.

(And I'm not even mentioning the fact that the "Use Google Differently" section didn't include https://searchtweaks.com/ .)
