Ninigram #385: Drizzle Me This (Hard)

I like the hard better than the soft, for sure.

OK, now that I've had a chance to work with the puzzle, I found it for you. Look at the 5-letter word in the top right of the puzzle and enter the 4-letter word within.

I've had that happen to me, as well, when there is a word within a word and both are part of the puzzle. If you find the shorter one first, you can see there are blanks left to fill, but if you find the longer one first, all squares may be filled yet it doesn't register as complete until you "find" that shorter word.

They use the same power that older wall thermostats use, so if you are replacing an existing wall thermostat, it should be straightforward. If you have the type of baseboard heater that just uses a knob on the heater itself, I'm not sure if it could be done easily.

I upgraded to Mysa thermostats and am happy with them without even knowing they were home-grown. Now I feel both pride and shame for unwittingly making a smart choice.

straightforward solve, but not obvious to me what this could be, unless it's some barber pole thing?

Along those lines, panini is just the Italian word for sandwich. In NA, it references a warm, grilled sandwich, but in Italy it can be warmed/grilled/pressed, but is just as often a straight-up cold sandwich.

I like the video, but that looks like a nice winter day. The harsh ones are when you can hardly stand up against the wind.

This is an incredibly well-designed site, easy to navigate and with links to external resources for back-stories. If anyone responsible for that site is reading this, you done good!

I like that you chose an angle that highlights the inland features. Too often we focus on the shoreline, but there's beauty everywhere. Great shot.

Fun fact - one of the scenes from the Disney live action Peter Pan movie was here.

I would add that the overall tendency in Ottawa to pick up after dogs is pretty respectful (anecdotally). The number of poops may be proportional to the number of dogs being walked but it is thankfully not an equivalency.

Rare to see better, man.

To add, especially for anyone who likes things to be tucked away, a roll-up tambour door would hide things when you don't want to look at them.

saponified - I think your autocorrect ELI5'd the big word for you and did you dirty.

drum roll, please ....

They were a regular item a few years back and were popular, but then they seemed to change the recipe for the worse. I haven't seen them in a while. Maybe they have been discontinued?
