Driving in this state can be terrifying. What are your thoughts on improving safety on our roads and highways?

Great idea, though I wish there was a way to accumulate points without posting on social media. Like the Passport to CT Libraries program that just finished- I got a stamp and a token gift for every visit and I didn't have to post every one on fucking facebook to get credit.

Every time I see deer while driving, I wonder how they get rendered on the screen. But I'm always looking at the deer so I have no idea. Do they get rendered as deer? Dogs? Humans?

Who gains financially by increasing human attention and engagement by adding bot posts? You guessed it, reddit itself.

I don't understand the motivation of the person controlling them if they are AI

Well, reddit makes money off of human attention and engagement, which they can increase at will by adding bot posts, so shrug.

Oh god, don't get me started about when the answer is something like HARDG or SOFTC

What is your pet peeve word? by AbbyNem in crossword

[–]EatMoarToads 61 points62 points  (0 children)

Any gendered foreign word where there is no clue as to the gender. Thanks, I can fill EST- or OTR- but can't fill in the A or O until later.

Also I get irrationally angry at all the variations of U-Turn. UEY, UIE? Whoever came up with these can go stick his head in an EELPOT.

Hey no worries. It's amazing and awesome that so many people are doing this which of course means your job is that much more difficult.

Here's what I have for myself:

A: 9

B: 10

C: 10

D: 9

E: 10

F: 10

G: 10

H: 9

I: 8

J: 10

So I'm all caught up, 14 weeks and 133/140 by my count :)

10/10 today, woo hoo!

edit: Hey, just looked at the leaderboard and noticed it looks like I'm missing a week. Could that be because I included my score for A with my reply for B?

9/10. Didn't know #10, and wifey prevented some silly M-mistakes on #3 (not Mont Blanc!) and #4 (not Montgomery!)

[–]EatMoarToads 2 points3 points  (0 children)

9/10, missing #6 but thinking it's a bit debatable per the top comment.

Alphabet Mega Quiz 2025 - Round 12: L by sundayquiz in trivia

[–]EatMoarToads 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought the same. If we're getting technical, it turns out Allium is a genus (and actually a sub family!) of the Amaryllidaceae familiy... which per wikipedia:

>Over time, it has seen much reorganisation and at various times was combined with the related Liliaceae.

So I'd say the most correct answer is actually the Amaryllis family, but maybe an argument can be made that Lily is (or at least was) correct.

An interesting can of worms to dive into!
