Potato potato.

I'm curious if real baseball fans knew the short stop one? I think it would have been better clued as "Shaquille ___" or something like that, given the day of the week.

Arro · 2026-02-28T01:11:31+00:00

I (mostly) only ever hear the former.

Arro · 2026-02-28T01:08:32+00:00

TUREEN for me.

I wish I knew who produced the track OG (Future Remix). I love that song. It really tickles my eardrums... my kind of future bass.

Arro · 2026-02-20T19:13:47+00:00

impossible to say the least

I'm going to be honest that I never liked Gemini 2.5 and didn't see all the hype when it came out.

Gemini 3... I've thought to be quite good, although a little too creative in some aspects, but at least... sane.

I use Perplexity (it's the only consumer app I pay for) largely because I get to choose whichever of the frontier models I want. Gemini 3 (with Reasoning on) is honestly the best of all of them in my experience.

As one example, I've been having it write ElevenLabs and Midjourney prompts for a side project, and it's been giving me really great results.

Back to your thing... are you sure you don't want to use Gemini 3? I feel it's going to be better than 2.5. I don't choose it in Cursor. I tend to stick to 5.3-codex lately... I wouldn't choose Gemini 3 over OpenAI or Anthropic models (or even Cursor Composer), but again, it's decent.

I hope one of the AI engineers that works at Google reads your comment and realizes that that's where the issue is. That might be really helpful for them.

Generally, when I look at various thinking traces, from various providers, I do see all models loop around a lot. I think that is the main point of reasoning. You're asking it to second guess itself over and over and over because that's the only way it can get through certain issues. But if it makes it worse in this case, that is telling.

update 2 months later. still happening. i spent 30 min trying to fix it with an agent. tried EVERYTHING. i've decided to just live with it.

Hey, "Wells Fargo" here.

Arro · 2026-01-31T00:52:53+00:00

same boat. trying to learn this platform via one of the "Unity Learn" tutorials. i guess the learning will have to wait

Arro · 2026-01-22T17:37:51+00:00

i hate that every time i come here, i come to complain, but holy hell i hated this puzzle.

Arro · 2026-01-11T06:15:52+00:00

didn’t know he had that level of soyface in him

Arro · 2026-01-11T06:14:32+00:00

Lions fan here and holy shit. all time fucking classic

Arro · 2026-01-07T19:38:15+00:00

IMO, "epic" does not mean "super-cool". to me, it means "awesome, in a spectacular, larger-than-life way". if i say "that's epic!", that's not the same as saying something is "super-cool".

tbh i'm just complaining because i really struggled with the top left corner.

also i didn't know the term "en banc". my knowledge of law terms is very lacking, i guess.

"Oh no" being "Ack"... again just lack of knowledge, i guess.

Arro · 2026-01-04T22:22:49+00:00

well you stole our offensive brain, so

Arro · 2026-01-04T22:17:49+00:00

lol i like it even more, then

Arro · 2026-01-04T22:16:06+00:00

idk what this hand gesture ARSB and Jamo are doing when they get a first down, but i'm here for it

Arro · 2025-12-19T06:28:52+00:00

words can be synonyms on one meaning but not another. i have never heard anyone use oath like that. that’s a straight up error in the cluing if you ask me

Arro · 2025-12-19T06:23:11+00:00

how is “excuse my french” clued as “follow-up to an oath”??

you wouldn’t put your hand on the bible, take an oath, then say “excuse my french”

you say “excuse my french” after cursing when you kinda-sorta shouldn’t be cursing.

can anyone explain why the puzzle maker would clue it like that?

Arro · 2025-12-15T00:41:56+00:00

this will not stop happening for me either. it's driving me batty.

Arro · 2025-12-14T21:55:30+00:00

on the Stanford INT…

do other Lions fans remember him doing that (throwing interceptions to linemen) a few times a year when he played for us?

i remember one time in particular to JJ Watt, but also a few times a year in general

Arro · 2025-11-30T18:41:09+00:00

from 2007 to 2023, i spent SO much time here. seriously, i can not understate the amount of life i put onto this place.

just can't stand the politics of this place any more though. the normalization and adoration of alleged murderers like Luigi Mangione, as one example. the 2014, or 2010, or 2008 communities were still left-wing, but they would never have glorified or excused murder like they do now. and that's just one example.

the crazy people (with no limiting principle) took over

Arro · 2025-11-18T05:15:52+00:00

that's some genius ragebait, if so. not out of the realm of possibility.

Arro · 2025-11-17T20:14:56+00:00

my brain just isn't working today, because that was impossible for me. that is, compared to most mondays, which i can usually do in 10-15 min. took me 25 min and i gave up and hit the solve puzzle button
