Roombas have also had "beacons" before they had any competition. You could set two of them up to block it from leaving.

I also have a hard time imagining that if a Roomba store chose to use its bots in the store, they would go with the cheapest model instead of showing off one of their top models.

    It usually has better results. The features alone, however, put it above DDG.

    Rankings aren't static. You can block a site, pin it to the top of results, or just derank/promote it.

    Want to redirect a domain? You can do that.

    Want to see specific results? Like PDFs only, or maybe just small web, educational, news stories, forums, or whatever? Use a lens!

    Love AI summaries? You can use them! Hate AI summaries? Don't worry, they're off by default and require you to press the small "Summarize" button.

    You probably understand bangs, right? Using !w will search Wikipedia. You probably also know that some sites, such as Reddit, have shit results so using !r would be worthless. Kagi supports bangs but also has what they call "snaps" - if you type @w, it will be replaced with site:wikipedia.com.

    Oh, yeah, one more thing. No ads. There are no risks of misaligned interests between you, Kagi, and their advertisers.

    There are hinges that use wheels, though, but I would agree that a standard door hinge is not a wheel.

    But is a motor a wheel? Maybe not a servo motor since it can't completely rotate but a stepper or most other motors can freely rotate as much as they wish.

    Pulleys are considered wheels - your vehicle is loaded with those.

    Ball bearings... Just counting those alone would put wheels above doors in my house.

    Do we only count wheels on vehicles? Or do toys count? What about my toddler's cozy coupe? Wikipedia says that pulleys are a type of wheel, too.

    I'm not gonna do any real math or anything but I would guess that just the vehicles and toys would push wheels far above doors.

    But if we include wheel-like, we have to include door-like, such as flaps. Would we include, say, drain plugs? Taps? Gates - both fences and electrical? Drawers?
