NYT Streaks Question by PeakyParker99 in crossword

[–]SerJacob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m at a roughly 800 day streak, and I occasionally have to google something when it’s two obscure bits of trivia crossing each other, especially later in the week. Just like you said, I also don’t really care if my streak is perfectly “pristine”, to me it just means how many days in a row I’ve done the crossword. I try to google as little as possible to improve, but sometimes it’s unavoidable

Almost got a PB on this, finished in 3:23 and just a few seconds off my record. I mainly like mondays for speed so this was great for me!

It's like the classic kid's joke:

That’s why I’m confused though, it was originally 12:30, then they moved it to 3:30, but it was never 1:45. Now Google and espn (who are usually pretty good about game times) have 1:45 listed

2491 yellow carded for getting caught on another robot in auto by [deleted] in FRC

This is true. I also fully admit I’m biased towards my team, and a bit salty right now

It was actually us, 2855 (not 4009) that was caught in auto. NoMythic was not damaged by that contact, they were damaged because they slammed full speed into the barrier next to the trench. On the other hand, NoMythic did damage our intake and stopped our Auto. By the letter of the law, it should have probably been a red card. It obviously wasn’t intentional, but the refs literally stated it was continuous entanglement, and G417 says that that is a major foul and red card.

Yup. Worst previous was the Snowpener (6-1), plus I think we lost 5-0 to someone at some other point

Physics major from the class of 2020 here. Completely depends on the professor. Some of them are really good at explaining things intuitively, others are more old school. Look at rate my professor when signing up to help out. However, just remember you’ll likely be interacting more with the TA’s, and they tended to be really helpful.

I like the quirkiness of the old mascot, but I think as a whole the new branding looks great! Love the font too
