i think they did need to unify the design and branding but i also agree they went too far with it. if they had only chosen 1-2 colors for each app icon that would have helped a lot.
gmail - red
drive - yellow
maps - green
meet - blue
calendar - lighter blue
problem solved
I get that the beverage, camera, and eyeglasses are all a bit exaggerated from stuff that actually happens, but I've been playing guitar for over 20 years and have literally never heard of anyone passing a guitar by holding its strings. That makes no sense even if you're just being lazy, the neck is a much easier place to handle a guitar from.
yeah I don't really see either of those options as problematic. quite common to explain away powers in RPG sequels, and CDPR might very well want to go in a different gampleay direction than Witcher combat.
I thought they were pretty clearly setting up Ciri to take the mantle in W3.
how does more justices help with that? do they not all hear every case? wouldn't that end up being inconsistent?
exactly, no matter the rules the system will be gamed. retirements, deaths, stonewalling al la mcconnell… there’s no way to account for it all.
why does the quantity of justices need to scale with population? i get that with house representatives since they’re supposed to represent a cohesive population of the country with similar local interests, but that isn’t the case with SCOTUS.
also early retirements, stonewalling via the senate as with Merrick Garland… guaranteed gaming the system with those would become much more common. So yeah it’s much much more complicated than just saying one every two years.
it's been over a year since the main exodus. if they haven't noticed the "core geeks" are gone by now, they never will. pure arrogance imo.
Based on my testing if you filter results by the last week or last day you get nothing. Past month works.
This would be a major issue, because DDG specifically claims it does not store any identifying information about you.

my guess is this is just variation in the search algorithms over time. excerpt from their privacy policy above which I think can explain most of the variability you mentioned:
"For example, we may know that we got a lot of searches for "cute cat pictures" today, but we don’t know who actually performed those searches. That is, viewing search results on DuckDuckGo is anonymous. And we only save these anonymous search queries — completely disconnected from any unique identifiers like IP addresses — for just enough time to analyze anonymous trends like popular searches, so that we can better serve you. For local search results in particular, we've further engineered a solution to shield your precise location from us and our content providers that sends us a random location nearish to you, which we also never log to disk."
So they do use your geo IP and popular searches to weigh results which can change over time.
