This is like magic, you can't summon (Google) the item unless you know
its full true name.

Google's new search engine is worse than the old one at guessing what
I wanted. No, the Dark Ages weren't the 1970's.

I've wanted a better crowbar for years. Yesterday I discovered they
are called "San Angelo Bars", which empowered me to find and buy one.


I found mine at HFT for $17. It was called a digging bar there, when
they carried them. Some had tampers on one end, others chisels. I
got the chisel, like your San Angelo.

Yes, knowing the name truly helps. g Googling usually ends up
giving me the name, though, since many people use alternate names for
the item they're discussing.

I wish Goggle had a search param for concepts. Some day, an AI will
be able to do that for us. I just hope they don't call it SkyNet...


"types of crowbars"

Google it


"The socialist movement takes great pains to circulate frequently new labels for its ideally constructed state.
Each worn-out label is replaced by another which raises hopes of an ultimate solution of the insoluble basic
problem of Socialism, until it becomes obvious that nothing has been changed but the name.
The most recent slogan is "State Capitalism."[Fascism] It is not commonly realized that this covers nothing more
than what used to be called Planned Economy and State Socialism, and that State Capitalism, Planned Economy,
and State Socialism diverge only in non-essentials from the "classic" ideal of egalitarian Socialism. - Ludwig von Mises (1922)
