Is it possibly to permanently blacklist websites on DuckDuckGo?

Title. There's just some websites I want to permanently blacklist for my DuckDuckGo searches, and don't want to type in a boolean function every time I search something.

How Indian Cities Failed Public Transport (The Quint)

Interesting video specifically on the disappointing state of public transport in India. Major takeaways for me:

  • Many Indian cities are investing in (expensive and flashy) metros, which are posting disappointing ridership numbers, but
  • Most Indian commuters are travelling distances short enough that biking or using rickshaws are quicker
  • India's metros are significantly more expensive for riders than other methods of transport
  • Bus fleets in Indian cities aren't growing, while their populations are expanding rapidly
  • Traffic engineers/policymakers suffering from carbrain (sound familiar?)

Interesting watch, I'd say, as a non-Indian who doesn't see much content about the world's most populous country posted much

Derby, CT road widening

Derby, CT is a small, working-class, post-industrial town with a population which has been stagnant at about 12,000 for more than six decades.

The geniuses over at the Connecticut DOT decided that this obviously meant that the town's Main Street needed to be widened, by twice the size, destroying a number of historic buildings and uprooting numerous small community businesses in the process. That red stripe on the far left of the "After" pic is the new edge of the street.
