Skip Google for Research
As Google has worked to overtake the internet, its search algorithm has not just gotten worse. It has been designed to prioritize advertisers and popular pages often times excluding pages and content that better matches your search terms
As a writer in need of information for my stories, I find this unacceptable. As a proponent of availability of information so the populace can actually educate itself, it is unforgivable.
Below is a concise list of useful research sites compiled by Edward Clark over on Facebook. I was familiar with some, but not all of these.
⁂
Google is so powerful that it “hides” other search systems from us. We just don’t know the existence of most of them. Meanwhile, there are still a huge number of excellent searchers in the world who specialize in books, science, other smart information. Keep a list of sites you never heard of.
www.refseek.com - Academic Resource Search. More than a billion sources: encyclopedia, monographies, magazines.
www.worldcat.org - a search for the contents of 20 thousand worldwide libraries. Find out where lies the nearest rare book you need.
https://link.springer.com - access to more than 10 million scientific documents: books, articles, research protocols.
www.bioline.org.br is a library of scientific bioscience journals published in developing countries.
http://repec.org - volunteers from 102 countries have collected almost 4 million publications on economics and related science.
www.science.gov is an American state search engine on 2200+ scientific sites. More than 200 million articles are indexed.
www.pdfdrive.com is the largest website for free download of books in PDF format. Claiming over 225 million names.
www.base-search.net is one of the most powerful researches on academic studies texts. More than 100 million scientific documents, 70% of them are free

Shadow is confirmed bad with computers and his method of getting them to work is often 'percussive maintenance'
[see; Shadow the Hedgehog (2005) cutscene in the computer room in which Shadow karate chops the keyboard, The Murder of Sonic the Hedgehog (2023) Shadow's Gift/ Alibi including the line from Shadow "I'm not fantastic with computers, admittedly"]
Two things about this relating to Team Dark:
Because of this ineptitude, Rouge has custody of Omega in all incidents of major malfunction. She will seriously chew Shadow out if he tries to repair him, upgrade him or access Omega's key files. Shadow is just about allowed to screw his fingers back on, and even that she wants a log of.
Shadow doesn't listen to the above, and generally thinks most computers and machines are by default sturdy and well built, like Omega, and won't mind a hearty bashing. Both Shadow and Omega are guilty of assuming they are infallible until they aren't.
#the irony that Terios is great with computers or at least computer literate as he works with them at his job as a librarian#XD

I was asked by a friend yesterday if I could offer basic tips about comic paneling. As it turns out, I have a lot to say on the matter! I tried breaking down the art of paneling using the principles of art and design, and I hope it helps you out!

hey everyone be careful
I don't know if anyone has talked about this, but lately this has been happening in other fandoms too. There'll be these bot accounts that straight up steals people's posts and adds "expand" "read more" "continue" as a link in the end of the post - DON'T CLICK ON THAT, it's most likely a malware or something of the like.
so if you see a post like this: no profile picture, something that looks reposted (I've seen this happening to artists too) and a link at the end, even if the post has tags, that's a bot. Block and report it.
stay safe, and I hope @staff finds a way to stop these bots soon!
