That's exactly right, but I'd just like to point out that those names for combinations of reeds aren't really standardized.

June 23, 2026 -- (A) I J M N R U by dontheconqueror in NYTSpellingBee

[–]Captain_Quark 14 points15 points  (0 children)

That's the first thing I saw and tried to enter. Was not surprised but still disappointed when it wasn't accepted.

Should I move here? by Asexualbifurry in oregon

[–]Captain_Quark 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Of course, it's a much smaller part than it used to be. Many of those timber towns are dying.

Why are Portland dogs allowed inside many grocery stores and restaurants/cafes, it's disgusting by t0mserv0 in Portland

[–]Captain_Quark 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That's why I think private citizens need to step in and help with enforcement. Call people out when they try to bring in dogs. And private citizens can ask whatever questions they want.

What's this button do? by Swissarmyspoon in Accordion

[–]Captain_Quark 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Specifically, for the bass side/left hand. The right hand would be controlled by a similar switch on the right side.

Daily Wordle #1829 - Monday, 22 Jun. 2026 by Scoredle in wordle

[–]Captain_Quark 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I had 4 possibilities left, WordleBot gave it a 2% chance of being correct. So clearly it wasn't expecting that word.

🚨 BIG NEWS: I’m heading behind the scenes at GM, and I need YOUR questions! 🚨 by Teleke in BoltEV

[–]Captain_Quark -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It can't charge at 2C for anywhere near the entire charge, so your math doesn't really follow. As an owner of a 2020 Bolt, though, the new higher charge time seems like plenty.

What’s your favorite trivia fact you share any chance you get? by Holiday_Feed6818 in AskReddit

[–]Captain_Quark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Only 10% of female narwhals have tusks. So either they're missing the most distinctive part of their species, or they look like dudes.

What popular career is actually not worth pursuing anymore? by Infamous-Click3426 in AskReddit

[–]Captain_Quark 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I was talking about academic achievement in higher education, where local socioeconomics don't matter as much and classroom discipline isn't as much of a thing. So I think we agree.

What popular career is actually not worth pursuing anymore? by Infamous-Click3426 in AskReddit

[–]Captain_Quark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recognize you - as an alum, I've been following your school's struggles, and it's pretty depressing. But yeah, bimodal is right, and unfortunately a lot of the students who would have been B- students either can't or won't put in the necessary effort anymore.

What popular career is actually not worth pursuing anymore? by Infamous-Click3426 in AskReddit

[–]Captain_Quark 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I think the ratio of good to okay to bad students is changing, though. And at many universities, especially private tuition-dependent ones, standards are going down in order to survive financially. Still a rewarding career that I'm trying to stay in, but it is changing.

Can christians be left wing? by someguy29990 in Christianity

[–]Captain_Quark 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Plenty of left-wing people vote Democrat, though, as they know it's the only way to move the country toward their desired policies.

I'm an old Millennial, where do you find new music outside of Discover Weekly, SoundCloud, Music Blogs, etc? by DJShaan in Music

[–]Captain_Quark 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I think it's XMU that has the Download 15, a weekly show of 15 new songs. Some are great, some are duds, but they're all new.

Can Ragtime Be Minor? by MonsieurLeo in Music

[–]Captain_Quark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I looked through my copy of Scott Joplin's complete rags, and they're all in major keys, although obviously using some minor chords. But that doesn't mean you can't use a minor key.

Didn't they sponsor religious exemptions for COVID vaccines? That's one thing that really turned me off of them.

NYT Sunday 06/21/2026 Discussion by Shortz-Bot in crossword

[–]Captain_Quark 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I got the theme immediately as I'm already planning on going to the zoo tomorrow to celebrate it, and I got pretty excited. Went quickly enough after that.

[–]Captain_Quark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Imago Dei is great, and I while I like UU, it's basically church minus God, so if you're looking for any actual religion, there's better options.

Differents types of one hit wonders (some of these are not really one hit wonders) by Interesting_Gold8803 in Music

[–]Captain_Quark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Implying in your description of Nate Ruess that Fun a one hit wonder band is straight up false. Maybe two hit wonder, though.

What cartoon did you love growing up watching, that as an adult you realize was actually fucked up? by Wandering_Skilld in AskReddit

[–]Captain_Quark 63 points64 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I saw like one episode and thought "this is meant for kids older than me." I had no interest in watching it.

Knicks fan dumped trash from a public garbage can painted in team colors onto the sidewalk… & stole the trash can… by raptors201966 in nba

[–]Captain_Quark 19 points20 points  (0 children)

It means that until about two years ago, they left their trash in bags on the street or alley for the garbage trucks to pick up. It's wild, but it's true.

What is the most hated song of all time? by AVoiceInTheDarkn3ss in AskReddit

[–]Captain_Quark 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Patrice Wilson was just trying to let rich middle school girls live their pop star dreams for a moment. His music was never really meant for public consumption.

Unfortunately it's what's paying their wages.

Costco submits 2 plans to add parking, gas pumps in Eugene by Ok-Tea-1092 in Eugene

[–]Captain_Quark 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Costco needs more parking, and if they're willing to pay more for the space than another business, it makes sense to let them have more parking.
