  1. Placeholder. Unless the other nuts talk spork foot off the ledge, we will be back here in a couple of weeks.
  2. I'm in. Thanks for cross posting on the March Madness thread.
  3. This woman is flat out creepy. I can't think of another way to describe her. How is this a rising star?
  4. First ever Ace on any of these puzzles. Really wanted the 5 in SE. Daily Quordle 773 3️⃣1️⃣ 4️⃣6️⃣ m-w.com/games/quordle/ 🟨⬜🟩🟨⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 ⬜⬜🟨🟨⬜ ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛ ⬜⬜🟨🟨⬜ ⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜ 🟨🟨🟨⬜⬜ 🟨🟨⬜⬜⬜ 🟨🟩🟨⬜⬜ ⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 ⬜⬜🟨🟨⬜ ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛ 🟩🟩🟩⬜⬜ ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
  5. I identify with that story so much. I've lived in DC now a little over 20 years. It was bad but gentrifying when we moved here and I've seen a lot. It's not going on the right direction but it's still a 1000 times better than those first couple of years we spent here. Yet, my parents, who sit in northeast Texas and have Fox News on as background, call and ask every couple fee days if I'm alright because they just saw the latest DC crime alert on that channel. They literally wonder if we can make our next visit before getting shot.
  6. So you advise tripling down?
  7. Like anyone would have time to read it
  8. Perhaps you're right. But it seems to me we've decided to make them suffer in painful manner as opposed to stepping on Putin's throat.
  9. Chose to layup and most of the time I don't think of that in time. In this case, probably saved 2 strokes. Wordle 976 4/6 ⬛⬛🟨🟩🟨 ⬛🟩🟩🟩🟩 ⬛⬛🟨⬛🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
  10. Not to thread jack, but I drive down from DC a couple of times a year to get a fix from zzq. They are the real deal.
  11. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2024/01/29/judge-jan6-riot-insurrection-trump/ Probably behind a paywall so pasted below. My favorite part of this story is Lamberth had already sentenced Little to 60 days but he was released by an appeals court. Lamberth sentenced him anew to two more months in prison, saying Little had shown no remorse or respect for the criminal justice system since the riot. “This is a matter of right versus wrong,” Lamberth said. “Mr. Little cannot bring himself to admit he did the wrong thing.” Little, appearing by video from his home in Claremont, N.C., shook his head and rolled his eyes as the judge spoke, occasionally muttering to himself.
  12. You had one of those fancy calculators that went to 8 digits. It was SheLL or BOOBS for me. Either way, I was a dork.
  13. I just spent a few days in Caye Caulker. I loved it. But for me, it's to visit, not for permanent residence.
  14. After three sixes in the last week, do I feel badly about pulling one out of my ass? No sir, I do not. Wordle 939 3/6 ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛ ⬛🟩⬛⬛⬛ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
  15. I'm curious as to why was she in court here? Anyone know?
  16. Today was year 2 of wordle. The Ace in year 2 wasn't real. Some kind of glitch and it was actually a 4. I'm definitely better in year 2. I have used the same starting word since sometime early in year 1 and it hasn't hit yet.
  17. You have to get the NOLA shitter on the podcast. I have to think he posts here.
  18. Found a picture of the bananas from my post above.
  19. A couple of years ago I was in Kauai and there was a fruit stand selling white pineapples that had been cut up. It was $5 for a small container but I wanted to try them so I bought one and brought the container back to the beach and opened it with the family to try. It was easily the best fruit I've ever tasted. After we finished it, I decided to go back and buy a bunch more but she only had two containers left. It was our last full day and I'll likely never taste a pineapple that good again. Also, to repeat what everyone else said, the best fruit is what is grown locally. The people who we were staying with grew these tiny bananas in their backyard. At full size, they were no more than 3 inches. I hardly ever eat bananas from the store but I had these every day I was there the entire 2 weeks. I'll probably never eat a store bought banana again.
  20. Upon reflection, putting a few points on that upset wasn't the wisest choice.
