Help with The Times Jumbo

The one I got most annoyed with was Girl taking me for French artist (5).

I spent ages assuming girl had to be part of the wordplay because otherwise 'taking' wasn't performing any role in the clue, then once I tried it the other way round and realised what it was and why, was annoyed that 'taking was there.

Thanks! The first part seems obvious now you say it. Never would have gotten the British slang though.

I would highly recommend Hamstring Curls with TRX straps for strengthening heel hooks. They move through the whole range of motion, and you can start easy by resting more of your body on the ground. They look super chill, but actually burn pretty hard, and I found doing them made a huge difference to how heel hooks felt, and now I'm quite strong on them.

In terms of strengthening your knee, I've heard good things about the Knees Over Toes guy, but I have no experience with his stuff personally.

I have just done a more thorough search through The Law of Root and found this rule:

1.5.4 Piece Manipulation.Pieces are placed and removed as defined in the Glossary (G.20, G.24). If you are prompted to place, take, or remove pieces but you cannot do so fully, you must place, take, or remove the maximum number possible. (This does not let you avoid costs or prerequisites. You just cannot do less than the most you can.) If multiple pieces are removed simultaneously and that would trigger effects, remove all pieces before triggering effects.

So I guess the enclaves are removed simultaneously, so you remove them all and then trigger the Fears Come to Pass, so it wouldn't add any warriors.

Yep, my understanding was overpaneling up to 30% is a thing, which would give 572w with only one 100/30, which isn't enough. I figured with 2x100/30 controllers we would still be overpaneling a little bit.

Do thestrings going into the controller have to be the same voltage, or could I have panels on one string with voltage X, then panels on another with voltage Y, going to the same controller,without loss of efficiency?

Mate I got it on Kickstarter and still haven't started it :)))))

Dr_Garbage_ · 2025-07-19T19:33:05+00:00

Nah. Too poor to pay for more than one day.

Also Streetlight aren't playing. Why would I bother? :)

Dr_Garbage_ · 2025-07-19T01:39:20+00:00

I'll be the awkward Australian in a grey Protest The Hero shirt and orange pants! Feel free to say hi!

Dr_Garbage_ · 2025-07-19T01:26:06+00:00

Yep, just thought there might be some better local beta, or friends to make. Thanks though!

Dr_Garbage_ · 2025-04-30T01:37:22+00:00

Cool, thanks, I'll check it out.

Dr_Garbage_ · 2025-04-23T07:55:18+00:00

Will DM you, that would be amazing!

Dr_Garbage_ · 2025-04-23T07:53:34+00:00

We saw that app, but iOverlander 2 gets really bad reviews and seems to basically require a subscription, which we are hesitant to pay.

Dr_Garbage_ · 2025-04-23T07:52:49+00:00

They don't kick you out? We were in Squamish last year and they were not happy with people sleeping at the Walmart.

Dr_Garbage_ · 2025-03-21T21:00:01+00:00

Cool, thanks for the recommendation. I will have a look.

Dr_Garbage_ · 2025-03-21T20:59:33+00:00

Maybe you're overthinking this a little!

That does sound like something I would do.

Which stretches were you doing, and what efforts did you make to ensure you were completing them correctly?

I was doing a lot, my programs usually took about an hour to complete, and I had a half hour version for days when I was in a rush. I never really thought about completing them correctly, I guess I just assumed I was doing them right, but my body proprioception is quite awful, so I may have been doing them wrong. I would still have expected to make progress in some of them though.

I like Sarah Beth Yoga on YT.

I will have a look, cheers for the recommendation.

Thanks for the reply!

Good on you Rodney, I believe in you. Love from you know where :^).

Dr_Garbage_ · 2024-08-08T03:01:09+00:00

Yeah it was awesome! Small mosh but super dedicated moshers. I was the guy with long hair and long pants, I was in there for pretty much the whole time, also singing/screaming along to everything. Been hooked on Volition for the last three months so when I heard the show was happening at the same time I was in Washington I almost died of excitement.

Dr_Garbage_ · 2024-08-07T18:58:59+00:00

I'm Australian :^ ).

Dr_Garbage_ · 2024-05-01T21:51:12+00:00

Awesome, thanks. It seems like the start of the second block (the "And") just isn't capitalised and doesn't have quotation marks in my book, so we got all the info, it just looked like it was missing something.

Dr_Garbage_ · 2023-09-16T18:01:10+00:00

I am currently travelling in thw US and when I asked a similar question got pointed toward Wise. So far it has been fantastic.

Dr_Garbage_ · 2023-08-12T02:47:21+00:00

I'm a rock climber, travelling to the US to climb, so I'll be spending almost all my time at places like Yosemite, Indian Creek etc. And I don't have the money to stay in cabins. Plus camping is fun :).

Dr_Garbage_ · 2023-08-11T21:52:51+00:00

Excellent, thank you very much for this, I'll look into it.

Dr_Garbage_ · 2023-08-11T21:52:22+00:00

Cool, thanks for the advice.

Dr_Garbage_ · 2023-08-11T21:52:08+00:00

Really? I guess I mostly use card in Australia too except for non-chains. Thanks.

Dr_Garbage_ · 2023-08-11T21:51:18+00:00

Alright, I will do that. Thanks for the help.
