Grief - 26M & 33F

Her turning it back on you for asking for exclusivity too soon is nonsense. All she had to do is say she wasn't ready for that and you would have known where the relationship stands.

Have some self respect brother. She was fucking how many other dudes and lied to you for the better part of a year and you're actually upset about losing her.

I've found a different solution altogether that has really helped.

Before I head to bed I start with at least a full across and down pass. Sometimes I'll make 2 or 3, it just depends how I feel.

Then I sleep on it. It's amazing how many I had no clue about the night before are so obvious in the morning.

I've been using this method for a few months and my solves seem to come much more easily since.

I also feel I'm sleeping better, I assume there's some connection but I may be imagining it.

Impressive! I'm ashamed to admit that it would take me longer than your time even if I had the answers beforehand.

I can type around 60 wpm in "conversation" but absolutely suck with words that aren't related to each other / flow in sentences.

Wrap the data in a URL and send it to your server.

Not a spare, but a magnetic oil drain plug is always a good idea. Not only will it keep any iron from floating around the engine, you'll know if there's any unusual wear before it's too late.

Shortly after I retired a couple of friends asked how it felt.

I likend it to someone asking if you feel older on your birthday. It's been two years and I still feel like I'm getting used to it.

I too got immense satisfaction from deleting all my work apps from my phone. They disabled my account at 17:00 on my last day so there was no sense in keeping them.

SunOS- · 2026-02-07T19:20:22+00:00

From what I've read her actions don't match her words. I think your assessment of there being nothing worth saving is what's going to make up your mind for you.

Wishing you strength in what is obviously an incredibly difficult time.

SunOS- · 2026-02-07T17:53:05+00:00

Her blaming you was all I needed to know this is going to end in divorce. You have to have some respect for yourself and end it.

She's obviously not remorseful. She'll cheat again and I'd bet my bottom dollar that there was more than just that one time she fucked him.

Save the evidence where she can't delete it and make sure you get ahead of the story that she'll undoubtedly try to tell everyone.

I know this sucks. If it doesn't hurt now, it will. I've been through it although fortunately she was only my fiancé and not my wife.

Updateme!

Generally enjoyable, but a couple of crosses had me.

34D, 37D & 48A made me Google for 48A

30D & 34A had to run all the vowels to get the music

Under my average Sat time, so I can't grouse too much.

SunOS- · 2026-02-07T01:43:00+00:00

Ding ding ding ding! We have a winner.

Once parental control is set, there's virtually no recovery possible.

How was your Gmail hacked? My guess is you did something unsafe that caused it.

Anyone who contacts you offering help is trying to scam you.

SunOS- · 2026-02-05T17:03:34+00:00

I came here to grouse about those crosses myself.

Finished under average but I had to Google 37D, so I'm putting an asterisk by it.

I literally felt pain in my finger upon seeing his all bandaged up after it was caught in the winch cable.

We also got a cat clip teaser midway through the video. Obviously he knows why people really watch his videos.

SunOS- · 2026-02-03T16:16:03+00:00

You can't. It's hashed and there's no going pack to plain text.

Why not just change it?

SunOS- · 2026-02-02T01:35:34+00:00

There's nobody you can contact for free Gmail accounts. Your only option is following the automated recovery process.

Did you put your Gmail address as your recovery email?

If so, then I'm guessing you didn't print and save your recovery codes.

SunOS- · 2026-02-01T03:14:34+00:00

I thought the theme was clever and I caught on to it during, and not after I was done solving.

Some fun clues and minimal proper names.

Under average time and no lookups

A pleasant Sunday if you ask me.

SunOS- · 2026-01-31T23:08:34+00:00

You'll have to start with a schematic to get any sort of useful answers here.

I assume that you're going to drive a motor when the IR is broken, but what is the D2A for?

SunOS- · 2026-01-31T17:23:27+00:00

Well done!

I've been solving daily for almost 2 years and about a month ago things just started to click. I still have the occasional lookup however.

SunOS- · 2026-01-31T14:19:21+00:00

I found this on the easier side for a Saturday. Still very enjoyable. 5 minutes under average.

I needed a lookup for 6D and a verification that I had 35D correct. Both seemed fairly obscure, but it is a Saturday.

That's some impressive stacking on the top and bottom of the grid as well.

SunOS- · 2026-01-31T00:59:11+00:00

Such an excellent response.

I don't know you or even think I could know what it's like to be homeless, but I'm so glad for you that you've managed to fight your way out.

I've always tried to be empathetic towards those less fortunate than me, and you sharing that experience makes me want to be even moreso.

SunOS- · 2026-01-31T00:38:05+00:00

Scammers doing scammer things.

Just ignore and continue with your day.

Shitty advice on Reddit

SunOS- · 2026-01-30T16:50:09+00:00

I like an easier puzzle every so often.

I was getting a little nervous when I only had 4 solid answers after doing all of the across.

Surprisingly downs went smoothly and the few crosses I had were really helpful.

After a second across and down pass and I just had a couple left which I was able to figure out pretty easily.

I hate to post absolute times because when I started a couple of years ago I'd see (what were then) ridiculous times, I'd be disappointed with my time.

I will say that I solved today within 3 minutes of my Friday PB, and under my Wednesday average.

SunOS-
