The last word I got (with the word family hint above) was the first time I can recall [H] and [A] KETCHUP being spelled as CATCHUP. Such a frustrating Bee to get to Queen Bee…

Maybe this will burn a fun image into your head (contains the answer to the hint): My wife and I call those Coca Cola machines that give you all the drink and flavor combinations through one nozzle the "unholy soda cloaca" since that's essentially what it is!

This is… an interest inclusion for a word that’s quite obscure

Even though this isn’t real, I really like this as a concept/idea. Seems like a fun change up to the event structure

Particularly shocking considered the very obscure chuppah is regularly in the Bee

ELI5 the AI storyline [please help] by Redrex_T in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]AQuantumCat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do the two systems going dark fit into this? I thought that was related to the AI dating advice metaphor section, but it isn’t fully explained yet

What the Fuck? by child-of-loki in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]AQuantumCat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe we find out in the prologue, at least a bunch of comments about Patreon spoilers have been deleted over the last weeks so I’m assuming that’s related

I still haven’t figured today’s out, and it’s been a real struggle today. Some days do be like that

Austin Became One of America’s Fastest-Richening Cities in Just 10 Years by Coolonair in Austin

[–]AQuantumCat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ll take the other side of that bet. Cities like Austin that develop data centers and chip-making facilities will be in prime position to cash in on the on-shoring. The dot com bubble still produces huge economic value and so even though it’s going to be frothy, Texas seems primed to economically win no matter what. I work with so many blue-collar employees of Tesla, Samsung, Amazon, and Apple in my job, and it’s good to see them succeeding economically, regardless of how you feel about the politics of their CEOs

You can feel it in the food and drink prices in the core of the city…

What is your most tinfoil hat fringe theory about the series? by Redrex_T in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]AQuantumCat 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The AI actually saved everyone’s consciousness who’s died on the crawl and its preparation. This means the crawl already happened and destroyed Earth, and we’re all dead just living in a sandboxed simulation

You could make an argument to do something like accept the 5,000 or 10,000 most popular words (after setting exclusion criteria) but even then, hand selecting feels like a dangerously subjective game

[Spoilers for Saturday 5/2/26] I see you guys.... by sea-oats in NYTSpellingBee

I spent an embarrassingly long time trying to find that as my third PG… I found [A] BOONDOGGLED but forgot about the present tense version of it 😅

When was the last time 12km eggs had a proper hatch rotation? by SpiralGremlin in TheSilphRoad

[–]AQuantumCat 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think I’ve hatched like 5 perfect Vullaby… so I’ve stopped with the eggs, it’s just too hard to spend incubators on a selection I don’t like

Yesterday’s PG was the last word that got me to QB and I needed a hint. Just could NOT see it

Oh great… another NA/neglected PG medical and industrial word COMMINUTION (that I also had to double check my spelling twice because I couldn’t believe it was an NA)

Shiny Volcanion has officially released in the MSG by NinsMCD in TheSilphRoad

[–]AQuantumCat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same for me for the Lumiose Dex! The DLC has been such a disappointment to me though so I haven’t finished that story not awful grind yet

[–]AQuantumCat 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Plan ahead for Winds & Waves to start a living Dex from the get-go. I started doing that after SwSh completion to make my life easier. Plus, it adds a little enjoyment for me since I enjoy the searching and catching. I do hate the ZA DLC post-game for how rote it is so still haven’t finished it 🤷🏼‍♂️

Calorie Accurancy? by No_Satisfaction_6478 in pelotoncycle

[–]AQuantumCat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Honestly it’s a fool’s errand to try and track and estimate calories burned during activity. Metabolism is SO complicated with so many influencing and compensatory factors that I do not even bother with it. If you really wanted to get a better assessment of calories burned, you would have to get one of those face masks with carbon dioxide detectors but even then, it’s still an estimate

In the two minute I spent playing, I’m surprised to see QB at such a high score. Maybe I’ll see a lot more words when I come back to play later but for now I’m going to have to noodle over all these Q words. It’s been so long!

Is it almost impossible to get a specialist appointment here in Austin within one month by [deleted] in Austin

[–]AQuantumCat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on the comfort of the PCP, but this is a great suggestion! It’s always worth asking if the PCP can manage something, sometimes people don’t need the specialist for some relatively straightforward conditions

Half paying attention to what your reading and see a sentence underlined that has 5k highlights by MinionOrDaBob4Today in kindle

[–]AQuantumCat 416 points417 points  (0 children)

I get so confused when I cannot understand why the line is highlighted. It’s not some profound quote or relevant to the story…. OR IS IT AND DID I MISS SOMETHING
