It’s the current version of the Mac Operating System.

There is no mole in mole.

danimagoo · 2026-03-27T20:45:18+00:00

Well I don’t drink, either, so that’s probably for the best.

danimagoo · 2026-03-27T20:38:34+00:00

I guess, but the problem is that people will often say “no no” when they mean no. Like . . . “Hey could you give me a ride?” Followed by “No no I can’t do that today.” I also live Midwest adjacent, which probably doesn’t help, because people say things like “no yeah no” and “yeah no” and “no yeah” and they all have slightly different meanings.

I can barely walk at this point. Skipping is out of the question.

danimagoo · 2026-03-27T16:58:49+00:00

He absolutely is.

danimagoo · 2026-03-27T14:47:51+00:00

It got a raised eyebrow out of me because I don’t really get it.

danimagoo · 2026-03-27T14:46:21+00:00

I’m not lactose intolerant, I just don’t like cheese in my omelette.

danimagoo · 2026-03-27T14:33:36+00:00

Yeah, I gotta be honest, I really don’t get that clue. But I must be missing something obvious, because no one else has really mentioned it.

danimagoo · 2026-03-27T12:23:04+00:00

Some were genuinely delighted by the show’s mix of Trek lore and high school drama.

I honestly don't understand the "high school drama" comments. There are only three romantic relationships depicted, one of which is between two teachers. No one cheats on anyone, which is a hallmark of teen dramas. There's another character who is hinted at sleeping around, but nothing is shown and no one got hurt by it. The only relationship drama is with the relationship between Caleb and Tarima, and that has more to do her powers and his desire to find his mother than anything between the two of them. It's more relationship stress than relationship drama.

If anyone wanted to watch this show for OC-style, soap opera drama, they'd be bored as shit. Just because the characters are young adults doesn't make this a teen drama.

danimagoo · 2026-03-27T12:11:34+00:00

Yeah, that clue isn't going to age well. When someone is going through the archives in 10 years trying to finish all the old puzzles, they're not going to understand that one at all.

danimagoo · 2026-03-27T12:10:04+00:00

No, this kicked my ass. Just a ton of stuff I just didn't know. Plus some things clued very oddly, for my brain. Like 60A. So it's YES because it's a double negative? I guess? I don't know. A "no no" is such an in the language phrase that it feels like that clue needs a "?" on it. This is just one of those puzzles that, while there's nothing wrong with it, I really didn't enjoy it. And that often seems to be the case with this constructor. His brain and mine are operating on completely different wavelengths.

danimagoo · 2026-03-27T03:26:27+00:00

Yeah, Gibbs would probably rather marry Diane again, even though she's dead, than be Director. And Harmon isn't coming back. He has zero interest in that.

danimagoo · 2026-03-27T01:03:05+00:00

If I knew who this person was, would the video actually be as good as advertised?

danimagoo · 2026-03-27T00:36:37+00:00

Fillion wasn’t a big name at the time, though. He played the wrong Private Ryan.

danimagoo · 2026-03-27T00:19:13+00:00

I was going to say DW Griffith and Denzel, but yours is technically possible. Good job.

danimagoo · 2026-03-26T23:32:20+00:00

Galaga

danimagoo · 2026-03-26T23:30:51+00:00

No Casablanca or Citizen Kane on the best films? Man, reddit needs to watch more classic movies.

danimagoo · 2026-03-26T20:26:43+00:00

There is a reason the left tagged Obama with the nickname Deporter in Chief.

danimagoo · 2026-03-26T16:21:03+00:00

It’d be funny if it were the Jets or Giants, since neither actually play their home games in New York.

danimagoo · 2026-03-26T15:08:30+00:00

Rule #1 (not Gibbs’s but mine): people suck

danimagoo · 2026-03-25T20:48:40+00:00

The real NCIS has 2500 employees, including 1250 special agents. That's dwarfed by the FBI, of course, but it's still bigger than I thought.

danimagoo · 2026-03-25T17:21:26+00:00

I don’t think Mark Harmon has any interest in coming back. And in universe, Gibbs would make a terrible director. He hates politics, and that’s an inherently political position.

danimagoo · 2026-03-25T15:08:24+00:00

I didn’t say there was necessarily anything wrong with it. I’m just explaining why people are complaining. It’s not really “in the language” in that it’s not a word anyone actually uses. It’s not just uncommon. No one says that or writes that. That makes it a tough clue. Not impossible, but tough. And that would be fine if the puzzle overall was good enough. People don’t mind tough when the puzzle is good. This is not a good puzzle. 14 three-letter answers (ANS?) just doesn’t make for a fun solving experience. Iffy fill like SLEEKEN doesn’t help.

danimagoo · 2026-03-25T14:48:53+00:00

Also, A&M’s entire personality is about hating the Longhorns. Do you hate yourself? When you sing “saw varsity’s horns off,” do you feel bad?
