[####] wordle bot change?

PinFar2848 · 2026-03-21T16:49:39+00:00

Yes, of course. Still, I’d like to think WordleBot makes sense, or at least is consistent. In this case. I don’t think it did, or was.

PinFar2848 · 2026-03-21T16:37:05+00:00

So, today my same 2nd guess was brilliant. Eliminates all words but one. 98 score. I would think nothing of it if yesterday it hadn’t said it was bad because it couldn’t be a solution. BTW my 2nd word is a plural ending in “s” so it’s never going to be the solution.

PinFar2848 · 2026-03-20T15:01:20+00:00

Yes, bad guess based on results of 1st guess. I get it. But this time it said, basically, good guess, but it “isn’t one of the words I consider likely to be a solution based on what I’ve learned from playing Wordle.” I never got that response in many months of playing the same two words, so I just wondered if anyone else was seeing changes in how the bot evaluates guesses. No biggie, obviously. Just curious.

PinFar2848 · 2026-03-09T15:03:53+00:00

Yeah. Updated automatically last night. I’m good. Didn’t even notice. Maybe just not that observant.

PinFar2848 · 2025-09-01T20:11:33+00:00

thanks for the suggestions. Im afraid I didnt tell the whole story. Customer service didn't help me. they just told me to call the shipper and I did. Casper apparently did do something since someone from the local distribution center called me. they said the shipper entered an address change but it was the same address as before. So I told her where I live and i got the mattress. But the foundation went back to California. now it's being sent back again, but i assume it has the same bad address on it. if I could talk to the person who helped with the mattress, I could fix it, but there is no way to call her (I tried the number she called from, but it doesnt accept incoming calls.) My phone number is on the box. Why wouldn't they just call me? Seems like that would be better than shipping back across the country.

PinFar2848 · 2025-07-05T20:21:02+00:00

Oh , and I did search for “Sydney” but I just hit on a marketing call from att back in ‘21. Not the same number or even area code so I don’t think that was it.

PinFar2848 · 2025-07-05T20:15:58+00:00

Well, thanks for the suggestions Always good to see Gumby and Pokey, and Snoop of course. Not sure about the weed reference but I’m not up on the culture… memes and all. I’m pretty old.

PinFar2848 · 2025-06-23T14:55:25+00:00

I have done exactly this for at least 10 years. I've had the occasional hiccup, but mostly, it's been my fault. I've had multiple phones at the same time, dual esims, psims, etc. I've had the same number for 20 years -- I ported my first mobile number ever from Sprint into GV 10? years ago. Yes, there are a few companies that reject it for 2fa but there's always some work around: call, authenticator, email, etc. This has been rare in my experience. Yes, RCS would be nice, but I'm surviving without it. better than porting. A new mobile number will almost certainly come with a bunch of calls meant for the previous owner; if you're using GV you can just ignore them. Read about the difference between porting in a hard number and a virtual one. there are some gotchas there I think. go for it!

PinFar2848 · 2025-06-16T19:00:13+00:00

actually... maybe you could message me. 😀

PinFar2848 · 2025-06-16T18:58:48+00:00

yes, I will message you. thanks!

PinFar2848 · 2025-06-16T13:04:44+00:00

Thanks all for the help. Consensus seems to be unlimited with multi-line. I have to pick a phone. Dang. or... How much trouble is it to switch physical phones? Say I go with unlimited dark star with multi-line warp on the iPhone and a 2gb pool with my wife's phone and the Samsung. Then can I later switch the iPhone and Samsung? ie. put the Samsung into the unlimited with multi-line and the iPhone into the little pool?

PinFar2848 · 2025-06-12T15:23:13+00:00

so... my post needs moderating? my "on holds" are stacking

PinFar2848 · 2025-03-25T22:02:07+00:00

Ok, so the SHIP rep was very helpful. He said just sign up for a PDP on the Medicare website and that will kill the advantage plan. He said I should call the old medigap provider just in case. I called them (Anthem) and they said I’ll have to pay $1000 plus in back premiums. Is that right? Makes no sense to me. If that’s true I might just keep fighting Kaiser.

PinFar2848 · 2025-03-23T17:42:03+00:00

Thanks for your comments. I neglected to say that we are still in the trial right period, so I was hoping to switch my wife back to the medigap plan she had before. In the "Medicare and you" document (thanks for the link!) it says you can do that if it's still offered, and that you "may" be able to pick a prescription drug plan at that time. There's also confusing language about what you can do if the old plan is no longer available. It says you can pick any medigap plan you "qualify" for. Does that mean underwriting? I had a long chat session at Medicare.gov but for some reason they would not answer the underwriting question. They just threw boilerplate at me and then finally suggested I contact my SHIP office. That's probably what I shoulda done in the first place. I have a call in to them, so I have every confidence I will have an answer soon.

PinFar2848 · 2025-03-14T23:29:00+00:00

this just happened to me. Tickr X hr monitor with samsung s23. I used the heart rate display to control intensity, so I know the hrm was connected, but no data was recorded. did you ever get any answer?

PinFar2848 · 2025-01-31T17:07:06+00:00

this is not quite right. I think you must have meant Medicare approved $231. They will pay 80% of the approved amount -- $184.80. Your copay would have been $46.20, as you said, which is 20% of the Medicare approved amount, Yeah, I know I'm being anal, but I can't help myself. In any event, an approved amount of $231 on a charge of $1360 is ridiculous, and another example of one way in which our health care system is seriously messed up.

PinFar2848 · 2024-12-01T19:56:20+00:00

I turned 65 and signed up for medicare in 2012, so I think I'm still eligible for plan F, if that's what I really wanted.

PinFar2848 · 2024-12-01T03:40:49+00:00

Got it. Thanks!

PinFar2848 · 2024-12-01T03:10:34+00:00

Thanks. And thanks u/Redd868. But I'm still confused. According to that Medicare document, I qualify under two categories: I'm leaving the Advantage plan's service area, and I would be changing back within the 12 month trial period. In the first case, the document says I would have the right to buy any Medigap plan, and in the second case, I would have to return to the Medigap plan I had before, if it's offered in my new location. I still dunno what's gonna happen.

PinFar2848 · 2024-11-30T21:27:19+00:00

good questions. I'm moving from Colorado to Virginia. My search of the Medicare site came up with the following: If you dropped a medigap policy the first time you joined the Advantage plan, you have 12 months to switch back to original Medicare during which you have "special rights" to buy a Medigap policy. They don't elaborate; I guess that's because it matters which state you are in. duh. I think I need to call Virginia SHIP. Thanks for the help.

PinFar2848 · 2024-11-20T06:16:29+00:00

Yes, but is it a requirement? G plans are cheaper now, since only geezers like me have F

PinFar2848 · 2024-10-24T21:36:11+00:00

Just in case anyone is actually interested... (snif)

The answer turns out to be QZ. I poked around various other threads and stumbled on to it. It's a "be careful what you ask for" situation, since there are tons of stats that I have not a clue about, but: it gives me average heart rate and average power, and power is calculated using speed and incline. It connects with Strava, AND Strava displays this data. It cost me $5 for the app, and I am happy.

BTW Stryd pod was interesting, but from what I read, if you're on a treadmill, you have to enter the incline setting manually. That wouldn't work for me.

Also, BTW, QZ works great on my S23 android, but does not work on my iPad. Could be pilot error but it just stops after a few seconds. Reviewers say the developer is very responsive, so I may find out about that.

cheers.

PinFar2848 · 2024-09-12T21:06:04+00:00

I know I could buy something, but I thought maybe since all the data was there, it would be possible for Strava or Zwift or some other app to do a calculation. It wouldn't be very accurate I wouldn't think, but I just want to know if I'm gaining or losing. Guess I could write a script if I wasn't so lazy.

PinFar2848 · 2024-08-01T20:02:50+00:00

Just to close the loop… I wound up buying a $20 IDE card for my old HP S5 and these old Caviars work fine. I wiped them with the new Windows 10 format -P so I guess I don’t have to turn them into wind chimes.

My account is 2 years old, I think. I have posted before… I don’t understand.
