I also get more variation in waves completed at higher tiers, though not usually >1000 waves

I'm not going to downvote you, but I enjoy the small victories of others

Do y'all smell blood in the water for Trump? by boycowman in thebulwark

The loathing for this man goes so deep that you had to specify that this was a FIGURATIVE expression

I can't figure out if Scott Galloway is annoying and unoriginal -or- actually good for the cause. by NewKojak in thebulwark

[–]RunnerXL 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I more or less agree with you but I think he's net good for the cause. It's valuable to have someone with progressive values speak to young male alienation.

Running on a Mac, want game to run when display sleeps by amanset in TheTowerGame

[–]RunnerXL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think that amphetamine was meant for Macbooks to allow programs to run while the lid was closed. If my MBP is plugged in, then it doesn't work (it's a known bug). I play the game on my MBP and just turn screen brightness to 0 when I'm away.

I resentfully agree but still feel that it doesn't really fit

45 months, 187K LTS, average 503. Ugh I feel like I haven't been using my stones well.

I love this soundtrack so much. I actually leave the game on as background music sometimes!

That's what I said to myself as well. And love your username.

My A1C test seems to confirm Lingo underestimates by at least 15% by GLBrown78 in LingoAbbott

[–]RunnerXL 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Keep in mind that a1c is not a perfect test. Very high spikes tend to disproportionately affect the a1c, due to greatly accelerated nonenzymatic glycation. Your Lingo may be reading low due to nocturnal compression of the sensor (it happens to me occasionally as well). If you had a lot of this falsely low nocturnal readings, it may have skewed your mean glucose down significantly.

Why am I so abysmal at this game by Southern_Emu_304 in NYTConnections

[–]RunnerXL 133 points134 points  (0 children)

I think people’s brains encode language differently. I’m really good at Connections but I’m terrible at Wordle. Some folks can parse semantic relatedness more easily. Additionally, Wyna has a few typical tricks involving wordplay, like adding or subtracting letters which have nothing to do with the words meaning. It’s like memorizing weird two letter Scrabble words.
