the set of all empty sets that do not contain themselves
As a workaround I changed my browser keyword search to https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=%s&sp=CAE%253D - so now I'll always get actual search results rather than algorithmic bullshit
A workaround seems to be to change "Sort by" to anything other than "Relevance" and then you get actual search results again.
I notice that Youtube search now only gives about 10 results before switching to "People also watched" and "For you". Essentially the sidebar recommendations instead of search results, the algorithm knows best. Obnoxious.
"We need a name for our new e-commerce site that we're setting up"
"How about BangGood? People will know that they're getting the best bang for their buck."

OH NO! CARMEN SANDIEGO HAS STOLEN YOUR girlfriend!
MD/GG both have SMS compatibility modes that are enabled by a pin on the cartridge connector. So you just need an appropriately sized and wired PCB that has connectors on three sides
Here's a free idea: make a retro homebrew Sega Master System game and do a physical release on a special cartridge that has an SMS connector on one end, Megadrive/Genesis connector on the opposite end, and a Game Gear connector on one of the sides

Turns out it's inefficiently parsing 10 MB of JSON every time you load the game
referring to the character as "doctor who" and when corrected, stubbornly insisting that the 1966 story "the war machines" canonically established that the doctor's full name is "doctor who" and any true doctor who fan would know this
