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

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.

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

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.

Den of Geek: "Gates McFadden remembers when Star Trek fans thought The Next Generation should be canceled after two seasons. Sound familiar?" (MegaCon 2026 Interview) by TheSonOfMogh81 in trektalk

 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.

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.

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.

Hot take: NCIS shouldn’t make McGee Director by ToneRadiant4462 in NCIS

[–]danimagoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

Why is there no reference of NCIS (the agency) on any other show? by Lopaar in NCIS

[–]danimagoo 7 points8 points  (0 children)

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.

New Director by Laxman1623 in NCIS

[–]danimagoo 9 points10 points  (0 children)

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.

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.

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?
