I use duckduckgo, and it shows everything that's relevant. What google shows more are ads and irrelevant links from sites that somehow game the rating system (or did $omething el$e to make Google show them on top  )
GOTOs are a bit like wire coat hangers: they tend to breed in the darkness, such that where there once were few, eventually there are many, and the program's architecture collapses beneath them. (Fran Poretto)

I'm using the new Microsoft Edge witch defaults to Bing so I left it alone. The other day, I was searching and couldn't find what I was looking for. So I tried Google. It did no better.

Spring starts in February? Really?

We only have two, here in Bullhead City, AZ. Christmas, and Summer. It was 75° here today.

Spring starts on different dates depending on whether or not you are located in the southern or northern hemisphere. There is no such thing as an 'Earth Spring' but if there were such a day... yes, 'Earth Spring' would begin on Febuary 4th. The individual who made those measurements was looking at the Earth as a whole.
5 points to anyone who can explain why 'Earth Spring' would be on Febuary 4th. Anyone with Navy/Maritime experience should know the answer.

Because that's the day you have to wind it up or it stops spinning?

Yep,
And everyone knows that if the Earth stops spinning your DNA will untwist and look like a ladder! And this causes baggy jeans.

Oh, that's a relief! I thought if the Earth stopped spinning we'd all get flung off into space!

Hmmm... Spinning causes centrifugal force which would throw you off into space if it were not for gravity. So, if the Earth stopped spinning we would all gain weight! Oh no, the Earth has stopped spinning... or there is a pandemic and we are all stress-eating.

The one thing you really don't want to do is not pay your lawyer.
After all, when he sues you for the money, who else is going to represent you?

That would depend on whether it's a no-win-no-pay fee.
I wonder if I got away with that as being non-political?

besides all the things he might bother you with.
No money >> No contract,
No contract >> No need to keep some aspects of the contractual behaviour

Ouch. Don't think Trump thought this through too well in advance ...

I fear that the secrecy between lawyer and "defendee" is still active even in such a case, but one thing is that he can't say anthing and another thing is that he can't use what he knows against him in other ways.
