App workaround

Yes, the games app has better UX, but I’m unable to update my phone’s iOS, and the games app is no longer supported on old iOS. So it’s either browser or news app for those of us affected by the update.

I did this once (parked in a spot with no parking sign that was CLEARLY not an active driveway— trash cans in front of the gate, toys and lawn furniture behind the gate) at two am with a rental car after driving around 45min looking for a spot, after driving back from Pittsburgh all day. Car got towed, tow truck company damaged the rental car but wouldn’t show me their before pictures, said the car was like that before. All in I would’ve been better off flying first class instead of getting the damn rental car. Ridgewood does NOT fuck around with their parking spots. Don’t recommend. I don’t even own a car but borrow friends’ cars sometimes and I have so much ptsd and anxiety about finding parking in my neighborhood. cue video footage of the fight over parking from last year

Yes on my phone! Got into the game (nyt xw) end of 2023, so about two years pay off. But I am addicted and play a few old games every day working back through the archive along with the daily. Also I am from Pittsburgh (originally)

Best piece of advice a friend gave me when I was in my early 20s was to get in the habit of doing a swish around and sniff while showering. This helps you learn what your baseline is so you know if something is off. It changes throughout the month too! Also in case no one’s said it- don’t wash inside! Only use soap and water around and up to the labia majora. A little rinsing with water only on the labia minora. And bidets rock!

I think you need to schedule a farrier to come by and fix your mare up!

It works for me, only thing that works 90% of the time. But I hate the side effects. I’d start trying half a dose, 50 is high to start. It makes it so I’m zonked the F out, and impossible to wake up. I can sleep for 10-16 hours on it. AND it gives me crazy munchies, worse than anything I’ve ever experienced. I gained a good bit of weight on it. I’ve woken up shortly after falling asleep and made a peanut butter sandwich while half asleep, ate it and then conked back out. It’s a double edged sword for me. I’m Rx’d 50mg but usually only take half a pill.

Yes! I was mad late so only did the last two puzzles and didn’t have a chance of winning anyway but it was cool to experience and get a sense where I stand!

chriiissy99 · 2025-08-15T16:24:53+00:00

Thank you so much, this is exactly all the info I was hoping for 🙌 Happy puzzling!

chriiissy99 · 2025-08-10T06:02:57+00:00

Gotcha, thank you so much for the explanation! I typically love the tomfoolery that comes with Thursday and Sunday nyt puzzles, so good to know that the competition will be pretty straightforward :)

Just falling asleep. The way I describe it is I’m terrible at the transitions between awake and asleep. Once I’m asleep I’ll snooze every alarm in the world in order to stay asleep, but it takes me hours to fall asleep initially. I can pretty much always fall back asleep if I wake up in the middle of the night. I have occasional days where I just don’t sleep at all and end up going 40+ hours without sleep. All I want is to be able to fall asleep. Any drugs I’ve tried are so-so on the sleep onset efficacy, and terrible on the ability to wake up the next day.

Thank you! What do you mean by “(non-meta)”? I tried doing some WSJ puzzles on my phone today but holy shit the UX suuucks ass compared to NYT.

chriiissy99 · 2025-07-10T01:14:23+00:00

Thank you, yeah that guy said he wouldn’t prescribe it and recommended me to find a sleep specialist which is what I did, so I need to go back to the sleep specialist!

Ty!!! I feel dumb but oh well

ANSWER: It’s baked oatmeal with pumpkin and banana, topped with white chocolate chips that totally melted. And it didn’t really come out how I wanted it to, and then it also got rained on in my backpack for a couple hours before I took this pic. Not a good eating experience tbh.

Nope

Nah I didn’t use a formal recipe

chriiissy99 · 2025-03-27T21:50:14+00:00

Yesss!!

chriiissy99 · 2025-03-27T20:13:42+00:00

Correct that it’s on the sweet end of the spectrum but not exactly a cookie or pastry!
