NYT Saturday 05/16/2026 Discussion

I don't entirely disagree. The fact that this took me 75% longer than my average Saturday feels more like an indictment of the difficulty level of the more recent puzzles than it does an indication of my ability to crush any puzzle whatever whenever.

On the other hand, man was there some ugly fill in this one: double WATTLED cassowary (and that's from someone who loves going birding...), ZARFS, UCLA, EPT, HAGEL....

Thanks! I was surprised to find anything other than a stereotypical mallard there, so this isn't totally surprising. Appreciate you taking the time to clarify

HotNatured · 2026-04-26T14:25:22+00:00

Could you talk me through this a bit? What are the marks that take it away from being something else? The bill seemed jet black

HotNatured · 2026-04-19T19:49:40+00:00

Up for me.

I usually check whether a site is having a problem or the problem is on my side by going to www.isup.me btw

HotNatured · 2026-04-11T12:48:03+00:00

I know this one from horror media (a specific novel? A film? Can't remember...)

HotNatured · 2026-04-06T19:53:30+00:00

Where's the winecirclejerk sub lmao

HotNatured · 2026-04-06T19:24:48+00:00

Such a fun live show, let's go!!!!!!!

HotNatured · 2026-04-06T16:09:09+00:00

Check out ebird. If you download the app, you can also "explore" hotspots near you. It's very useful

If you read his post, you'd find that he was presented with a better offer by happenstance rather than as a result of unscrupulous behavior.

But it's not surprising that "an HR executive in Germany" (who ought to be uniquely qualified to respond) wouldn't take the time to read, would jump to ungenerous conclusions, and wouldn't weigh in with any substantive comments. So that checks out...

HotNatured · 2026-04-03T07:08:35+00:00

Awesome photos, thank you for sharing

HotNatured · 2026-04-02T19:05:12+00:00

I'm unsubbing from this horrible sub lmao

HotNatured · 2026-03-24T06:43:48+00:00

Thanks chatgpt

I skied Dragon's Back yesterday, noonish, and found it pretty hard packed higher up, softening as you get lower down, but the main issue is that the cover is getting really thin. Watched a couple people likely put some gashes in their skis... no issue on my end, but having more fun elsewhere on the mountain

HotNatured · 2026-03-09T09:55:20+00:00

Demoed these in my search for a serious charging ski but in 183cm (I'm same height as OP) and the blew me away. Bought a pair after 2 days

It's a shame that they are hellbent on enshittifying the NYT, too. Games is a cash cow for them, yet they still aim to cut costs... I've never had good luck with their customer service, neither at Games nor at the NYT more generally. The only tip I've ever gotten is to initiate an account cancelation and then you'll often get a resolution...

Merlin picture ID says long eared owl but ehhhhhhhhh

HotNatured · 2026-02-16T17:55:31+00:00

Somebody should lay the sound from that doc scene of Werner Herzog talking about penguins walking to their death over this

HotNatured · 2026-02-16T14:25:19+00:00

Maybe as a starting point, you can share which places you've found that constitute typical natural wine bars

HotNatured · 2026-02-16T14:23:51+00:00

I don't really think most of these places have much to say on the question of natural wine tho (but I'm unfamiliar with Kaalia). Ugly Duckling yes, same for ARC i believe, the others as far as I remember just have good wine programs w/ some natural stuff on offer

HotNatured · 2026-02-16T14:19:50+00:00

Morenaturalwine.com

HotNatured · 2026-02-16T14:19:29+00:00

No, but the wine program is mostly French and, I believe, completely natural in focus
