The results from duckduckgo are awful compared to google. Just do a search for fujifilm c200 in both like I just did and report back.
It's slightly more competitive if you search for "fujifilm c200 35mm". Regardless, I prefer DDG for my primary search engine... if I want to use google, I can always search for "!g fujicolor c200 35mm". The "!" shortcuts in DDG are very nice.
The other issue of course is that if I use DDG for searching, I don't suddenly get thrown Fujifilm camera ads on every website I visit.

Cold is relative and, no, it’s not dark all the time. You must be thinking of Alaska and Minnesota. We have blue skies most of the winter. And while it does snow, I think I only shoveled 3-4 times last winter and don’t mind do so. I don’t have go to the gym and lift on those days.
As for cold, I’m a distance runnner and I run outside ALL YEAR. It’s a matter of how one dresses. Plus there are major advantages of the the cold in the winter. You get a break from yard work and outside chores. There are no bugs. Winter scenes to photograph are nearby, like right outside your door. There are hiking trails everywhere. I have one 3 blocks form the house that goes off in many directions for many miles.
Another photographic advantage of moving here, someone mentioned something about the high cost of real estate impacting one’s ability to have a darkroom. That wasn’t the case of me. I sold a 900 SF house in SoCal and bought a 2,700 SF house on a large lot that included a full, finished basement that has a 12x12 windowless room and able to do so WITH CASH.
Full disclosure: yes, there are some downsides. If you like to eat out, it’s chains and steaks. That’s about it. Ethnic food is rare or fake. If you like seeing current musical artists, you better like country/westerns because that’s what you’ll get. We do have a local jazz scene that’s really good though. If you come here from someplace else, especially the West Coast, some people will look down on you, forever. There is a high level of racism directed at the Native American population. There are others but things tend to balance out to the positive column.
No inspections? You must realize that not all people are responsible. Half of them have mental capacity lower than median, and 10% are basically imbeciles that we can't legally do anything about. So how not inspecting vehicles for environmental reasons can be a good thing?
Not for long.
Thank you! I will have to use '!g' in my DDG searches.
Funny, I changed to DDG a few years back and I very rarely have to resort to Google. How long has it been since you tried it? DDG has really improved.
….They basically connect their computer to your computer ….
And sure, cold is relative - and for me it's anything under 70F, maybe 65 if it's sunny.
I'm not sure I'd be as trusting of the water as Vince-- and I say that having drunk straight out of glacial waterfalls in Glacier National Park-- but that was in the 1970's. I had family in Whitefish for decades, but that place has apparently turned into a resort town, and I don't think I'd enjoy living there now.
The situation will worsen.
The price of natural gas meanwhile in Europe is about 10x of that in USA, in Germany the price of electricity even is practically coupled to this.
This means the largest burden resp. threat for the european chemical industry. And consumers hardly will be buying film when they wonder how to heat their homes.
I don’t heat my basement darkroom. During the winter it stays at about 62 degrees. During the summer it gets to about 72 degrees. I adjust chemical temperature as needed but don’t mind the chill. I just layer up.
Here we are in the middle of summer and I motorcycled across the Beartooth Pass this morning. It was 41 degrees on top. It felt invigorating. ;-)
Here’s my bike at 10,947 feet.

And, if you notice my plate, it indicates “Permanent.” All “toys,” be they motorcycles, 4-wheelers, snowmobiles, boats, trailers, etc. receive permanent tags in Montana. I bought the bike new last year and never have to register it again.
Don't say I didn't warn you about front suspension bold failures in those old Volvos,,,

Yes, you are certainly correct about the situation with natural gas. This winter is going to be a big mess. Most people in N America aren't really aware of the problem in Europe regarding gas. LNG shipments can't replace the volumes of Russian gas.
Hard to imagine how the big chemical plants like BASF etc can operate.

You are not right. I among many other Americans are very aware of this winter's shortage of natural gas in Europe.
That’s funny. I have 3 cars that I use as daily drivers and none of them even have computers. 2 of them didn’t have any emissions equipment from the factory. ‘59 Volvo, ‘65 Triumph, ‘83 Volvo.

I put Stabill in the tank, hook up the battery tender, and park my bike in November. I don’t get back on it until it hits 70 in the spring, maybe 65 if it’s bright and sunny. The first year or two I rode I’d ride on those sunny days in the 50s but realized that I just didn’t enjoy it, so I no longer do.
People are different. I hate being wrapped in multiple layers of clothing against the cold almost as bad as I hate the cold, and people have asked me when it gets cold enough that I’ll wear gloves, to which my answer is, “only when it’s so cold I need them to prevent my fingers from shattering.”
OTOH others complain about temperatures in the 80s and I’m just getting comfortable for outdoor recreation. I don’t event consider it hot until it hits 90 and I don’t stop riding the motorcycle until the heat index at least goes over 95. Granted that can be in the upper 80s actual temperature here because it’s so muggy it’s like breathing hot soup. You got us on the humidity.
People differ. I get cold much more easily than most people and I HATE cold.
Any car more than 25 years old is exempt here.
... San Diego also comes close.
