  1. My usual start word was on the mark today Wordle 294 2/6* πŸŸ¨πŸŸ¨πŸŸ©πŸŸ©β¬› 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
  2. up 3 with less than 5 seconds. Just hold for the foul.
  3. The People's Elbow and his poem about OU
  4. nice word Wordle 281 3/6* β¬›β¬›β¬›β¬›πŸŸ¨ πŸŸ¨β¬›β¬›πŸŸ¨β¬› 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
  5. Well, there is lb (mass) and lbf (weight or force), and kg (mass) and kgf (weight or force). 20 kg mass has a weight of 20 kgf (196 N on Earth). Similarly 44 lb mass has a 44 lbf weight (I am not going to find the g value in these funny units).
  6. It is an acronym that is being pronounced as a word. The person to decide how to do it is the one who came up with the acronym. How actual words are pronounced is not relevant.
  7. True, being part of US/EU is lot better than with Russia, but Ukranians are paying a price for it, however we may rationalize it away. That's all the video was leading to, that Ukraine will unfortunately get wrecked. Same unfortunate stuff happened during Arab spring. The people rose up by peacefully protesting and paid the price. It's a choice, and from afar, we are probably not in the best position to say which one is right for them.
  8. This is nice and all, but we are not in a community of nations; we have superpowers, fading powers, regional powers and the rest with each driven by national, not universal interests. Our forays in every corner of the globe should tell you that we don't see "sovereign nations have the right to control their own destiny", we see our interests above others. Didn't Kissinger say, "Oil is much too important a commodity to be left in the hands of the Arabs."? Our support to Ukraine is primarily driven by our interests and secondarily by Ukraine's. Many other invasions and ethnic cleansings have happened without us jumping in to help. Given this reality, Mearscheimer's comments are that Ukraine should have realized that they are being played and should have to played it more diplomatically.
  9. What's that? One Charlie Strong?
  10. What you are saying works for normal mode. I play on the "hard" mode (selectable in settings), where, once a letter is identified as green or yellow, you have to use that letter in all of your subsequent attempts.
  11. my first fail. There are at least 6 possibilities for the first letter. Wordle 270 X/6* πŸŸ¨πŸŸ¨πŸŸ¨β¬›β¬› πŸŸ¨πŸŸ©πŸŸ¨πŸŸ©β¬› πŸŸ¨πŸŸ©πŸŸ©πŸŸ©β¬› β¬›πŸŸ©πŸŸ©πŸŸ©πŸŸ© β¬›πŸŸ©πŸŸ©πŸŸ©πŸŸ© β¬›πŸŸ©πŸŸ©πŸŸ©πŸŸ©
  12. I am looking forward to an academically focused P5 conference (Pac12?) to go semi-Ivy League and deemphasize football by capping costs such as coaches' salaries and reducing ticket prices. Let SEC become the NIL/bag driven conference. The only way to compete is by paying players through alumni, and this basically makes it a professional league run by shadowy alumni groups. The coaches are like the willing cops/DAs in this alumni-led mafia world. Not a good place for the universities to be in.
  13. I used to buy used cars but my current two cars were bought new because I keep my cars until they fall apart and found that used cars were not as cost-effective. I have a 2014 Sienna XLE that I paid 35k including tax that still runs like new, and a 2021 Honda Clarity PHEV less than a year back for 31K including tax and nets to 22.5K after 1K state and 7.5K federal tax rebates. It is such a good car with ~50 miles of pure EV and about 50mpg afterwards. I (my daughter mostly) drove ~2000 miles between the last two gas fillings since we charge every night and her commute is about 45 miles.
  14. The main thread is moving too fast, so I'll post it here. This talk by a Professor at Univ of Chicago is about 6.5 years old and covers up to Crimea, but his points are quiet prescient. His point seems that we are thinking in 21st century ideas whereas Putin's understanding is based on 20th century rules, and China is a far bigger concern to focus on. He foresees the wrecking of Ukraine.
  15. Wordle 257 2/6* β¬›πŸŸ¨β¬›β¬›πŸŸ© 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
  16. My ex-manager was an Armenian soldier and spent time in a Russian jail. He said that nobody messed with the Chechens in the jail, even the Russian guards. Tough people who fought to keep their independence for centuries and lost 60% of their population under WW2 Soviet purge.
  17. Exactly, and this is the reason for support in the US. Trump is just a clown act to a real feeling among many, from Buchanan to Bannon, that the Christian/Western civilization is ending with the rise of progressives/atheism/globalism, and any option is fair game to maintain traditional Christian way of life. (Don't think too deeply as to what being a Christian actually means, but only in terms of traditional values.)
  18. another one with multiple options Wordle 243 4/6* β¬›β¬›πŸŸ©β¬›β¬› β¬›β¬›πŸŸ©β¬›πŸŸ© πŸŸ©πŸŸ©πŸŸ©β¬›πŸŸ© 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

  20. this is a tough one Wordle 240 5/6* ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛ πŸŸ©β¬›β¬›β¬›β¬› πŸŸ©β¬›πŸŸ¨β¬›β¬› πŸŸ©β¬›β¬›πŸŸ©πŸŸ© 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

  22. Well, besides the obvious miss that gave the TD to Bengals, LA TD was also called back due to holding. Doesn't look like the refs favored LA, either in the middle or the end.
  23. A math version sounds more unstructured and hence more difficult. Need to do a few to confirm. nerdlegame 24 3/6 πŸŸͺβ¬›β¬›β¬›πŸŸ©πŸŸ©πŸŸͺ⬛ β¬›πŸŸ©β¬›πŸŸ©β¬›β¬›πŸŸͺ⬛ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 https://nerdlegame.com #nerdle
  24. I think it is just a biological copy. The actual personality is anyone's guess. You just have make sure to set the dial accordingly.
  25. this took way too long Wordle 237 5/6 β¬›πŸŸ¨β¬›β¬›β¬› β¬›πŸŸ¨β¬›πŸŸ¨πŸŸ¨ β¬›πŸŸ¨πŸŸ¨πŸŸ¨β¬› πŸŸ¨β¬›β¬›πŸŸ©πŸŸ© 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
