That page had remained visibly unchanged since almost forever. I use that page all the time because I don't like the random crap Gurgle normally puts on their main search page. Well, OK, I have seen much, much worse changes. No seizure inducing full motion background or boxes popping in and out as I scroll. [05:20] IsambardPrince But here is the killer thing - the text boxes are much shorter now. I regularly search using long strings full of information, and the advanced search page used to let me see and edit more of the text at once. Now I have to spend more time scrolling forward and backward in the tiny text box. [05:20] IsambardPrince Now it looks like one of those damn pages that some marketing bozo wants to look like a cell phone, even on a large desktop computer. It completely wastes the horizontal screen space. It looks dumb even on older non-shortscreen monitors. [05:20] IsambardPrince I think some people were already seeing this new page, but it finally popped up for me on Gurgle Crumb. For the moment anyway the old search page still comes up in older browsers. [05:21] IsambardPrince The way things are going these days, they will probably fill it with advertising soon.

[06:11] IsambardPrince I think Europa Europa was more of a "human story" and it was a lot more interesting from that angle. Both true stories. [06:11] IsambardPrince I liked the subversiveness of a Jewish teenager hiding in plain site in an elite Hitler Youth school. [06:12] IsambardPrince A man comes in claiming it's easy to spot Jews, and then takes all these instruments out of his bag and uses them on Solomon ("Josef"), and declares that clearly he's an Aryan. [06:13] IsambardPrince MinceR calls the MAGA people "Nazis" but he's not "quite" right about that.
