oh, that's totally a thing now. They explicitly removed the bit about "don't be evil" from their charter a couple of years ago. Evil pays.

Google in 2000: "Do no evil." Alphabet Corp. in 2020: "We ARE evil."

I cannot speak for any online dictionaries, but the concept of a psychopathic google vacuum is too good to pass up so I commissioned art of it...

I am reminded of The Onion article "Google vows to destroy any information it cannot index." I would have never thought 2003 era satire to be prophetic, but here we are. Google might not be "evil" but they are malignant.

I found this surprisingly interesting for a bloke who doesn't want to buy a gun, and wouldn't be allowed even if I did.

So, ummm... I had never heard of GunAuction.com before this podcast. I use Gunbroker all the time, and I know about GunsAmerica, Proxibid, HiBid, and Armslist. How did I never hear about this?!? Then again, I do use Google a lot.

For future reference, I'm number 1 on the list to buy parts kit imports of Swedish B.A.R's. For TreeFiddy each.

Great discussion

Yes, it's actually next up on the block if we can get righted.

I saw that auction stream on Mike B's channel. Surprisingly entertaining watching them discuss the models and prices, and the gameshow aspect of them pre-arranging dare bids

Hi, Out of curiosity will the Rerprocussion Series be continuing? I really love percussion wheel guns and was hoping to see more. (Please note this not intended to sound like a complaint and/or demand, I fully appreciate that you folks have a lot of balls in the air right now.) Thanks for the great content and wishing you guys the best!

I find myself even more disgusted with the G Men, and pleased to learn about a less spammy gun auction site. Love it!

I hope Manny’s definition of Google (a psychopathic vacuum cleaner) makes it into one or more online dictionaries. For better or worse, I use DuckDuckGo for searching. This was a great episode. I think Gunauction.com’s revised feedback policy is the right way to go. I really get annoyed with CVS, Target, Walmart, Home Depot, Amazon and the others importuning me for “feedback.” If I am unhappy, I will let you know. My understanding of control systems is that feedback should be negative. Positive feedback will make a system oscillate out of control. That being said, I tip well for service and I will contact a business when they (usually one of their employees) go the extra distance for me.

I didn't know google downloaded the full res images now. I've always go to the source to download
