  • I could say job-related things or my hobbies, but Ima go with Google-fu. Maybe just search engine fu.

    I know way too many 'first page people' when it comes to results. No fuckin' way. Learn how to dig. Do not take no for an answer from a search engine without trying a range of strategies to find what you're looking for.

    OK, I'm lying. This is part of my job. I teach academic research, and I hear these people with two sources tell me there aren't enough sources for them to do a research paper on a given topic or that all these peer-reviewed journal articles say the same thing.

    But it does extend into non-academic life. I was out of town, my older brother needed a U-Haul, drove 40 minutes to a place he knew, but there was a U-Haul less than 10 minutes away that he couldn't find.

    I'm surrounded by this.

    • Though Google doesn’t let you dig much past the first page anymore.

      “10 billion results!” It says.. then 4 pages in it just goes “never mind, that’s it”
