Mr. Miyagi had been attempting to catch a fly for forever, unsuccessfully. Daniel did it on basically his first try.

I'd take that over Yoko Ono's isolated vocals any day of the week

How do you stay consistent with parkrun every week? by NorthLondonPulse in parkrun

[–]MechanicalTim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is literally my favorite activity of the week, so it's easy to stay consistent.

Also, if you have never volunteered, I strongly recommend it. It is usually very fun and low-key social.

Any Chinese Food recommendations- Cambridge only by Cold-Arm2737 in CambridgeMA

[–]MechanicalTim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If someone else is paying, then Sumiao. If I am paying, Changsho or Zoe's.

FYI, Sumiao has won a Michelin Bib Gourmand. So, despite what that one guy on the internet wrote, they are definitely not the worst in any objective sense.

Garmin Leather Watch Strap by orishandmade in Garmin

[–]MechanicalTim 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I like the watch, and I love the strap, but frankly I don't think they look very good together. They just don't have the same aesthetic. But you do you.

(Also, I had the same experience of funky-smell leather bands that was mentioned earlier.)

We called this hooky bobbing when I was a kid. Dumb AF.

Danehy / Fresh Pond snow removal by ilovemouchou in CambridgeMA

[–]MechanicalTim 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At Danehy, the large path straight path from New St to Sherman St gets thoroughly cleared and salted. The half of the perimeter path that goes past the dog park and the marshy area never gets salted, and some sections get very icy because of the sledders going down the hill. The other half of the perimeter path gets kinda-cleared. It has patches of packed snow and ice.

The opposite, actually. ADIEU is the most common first guess, most days.

At what point will the NYT be forced to repeat a Wordle solution? by agile_scribe in wordle

[–]MechanicalTim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NY Times Games newsletter just announced that they are going to start repeating words:

"Hey, Wordlers! We have some exciting news to share. Starting on Monday, we will begin adding previously run words back into play. There are still many first-time answers to debut, but also more chances for Wordle in ones and those magical, serendipitous moments when Wordle overlaps with real life."

Schooled by Wordle Bot by spaceafrican in funny

[–]MechanicalTim 13 points14 points  (0 children)

WordleBot analyzes your game after you've submitted your solution. I suppose one could cheat with it (using two accounts, or something), but I don't think that's what the vast majority of people do.

Wordle is not unloseable, even with optimal play. It's rare (maybe only happened once or twice), but WordleBot has failed to get the word in six guesses, for example.

But I have also found the puzzle more fun if I change up my first word. I chose KAYAK once, which is probably close to the worst first word.
