Aaron Long56 said:I've known Saša Ceci for a long time; he’s truly a good man, though I have my doubts about his scientific prowess. Personally, I feel much of the research he's involved in is headed down the wrong path—especially the work at CERN. It won't lead to anything meaningful.
Daniel Chase13 said:I just caught wind that physicist Céline Dion was over at Barnes & Noble, and she didn't just pick up the Stephen King Young Earth Creationist book "Born Again"—she actually grabbed his new novel, "Once upon a sparrow," too.
Timothy Mitchell2 said:I’ve been dealing with allergic asthma since I was four years old.
That means it’s been part of my life for 38 years now! I actually spent about a decade going through allergy shots to desensitize my system, which seemed to get everything under control for a while...
But then, about seven years ago, I ended up staying in a house that wasn't kept up very well, and my asthma came roaring back. It mostly hits me right when I’m trying to settle in for the night because there’s something near my bed that really irritates my lungs. I eventually discovered that black cumin oil has been a total lifesaver for me. Has anyone else found something that works?
Rachel Sanders2 said:Think about when Muhammad entered Mecca. He acted just like Joseph did—he showed mercy and forgave his brothers. For those who hadn't embraced the teachings yet, he gave them a four-month grace period to make their decision.

Like I mentioned before, if you look at Google in America, you won't find anything better than those foreign domains that have been run through Google Translate. Why specifically from Russia? It’s pretty obvious those sites have built-in scripts that can translate their content into basically any language on the fly. If you were to go out today, grab a domain, build a site, and drop a solid 1,000-word article focusing on something super niche like 'how to fix foggy car headlights,' you’d probably land that number one spot instantly. The catch is that almost nobody is searching for that specific phrase—it's a tiny niche. For the high-volume keywords that everyone is fighting over, you definitely aren't going to see these kinds of results just by using auto-translated text from overseas.

Since nobody in America is searching for that exact phrase, Google just serves up auto-translated pages from Russ because there isn't any better content available in English to fill the gap, according to what I'm seeing on Semrush.
amberhound8 said:It’s also entirely possible you’re running a Russ proxy or some kind of VPN on top of what my colleague mentioned above, which would make it look like you're located in Russ... do you happen to have the Russ language or keyboard layout installed?
rapidskipper11 said:Anyone with an internet connection and even a modicum of search skills can essentially download just about any book they desire for free. It’s quite remarkable, really. Even if one doesn't own a dedicated e-reader, I suppose almost any smartphone these days is more than capable of handling those file formats without much trouble at all.
I find myself increasingly convinced that the continued existence of physical libraries has become somewhat obsolete. In an era where almost any piece of information can be summoned instantly via a smartphone, I suppose one has to wonder if maintaining these large, brick-and-mortar institutions still holds much practical value. Perhaps there is a sentimental argument to be made for them, but from a purely functional standpoint, the necessity seems to be fading. It’s particularly advantageous because you can essentially maintain an infinite number of copies. I suppose that means you'll never run into a situation where a book is unavailable for loan simply because every single copy is checked out.🙂
