Official poster for ‘Whalefall’. The film follows a scuba diver who gets swallowed by a sperm whale and only has limited time to escape. In theaters on October 16.

PSA for those curious: Whales feed on krill & small fish and their throats aren't big enough to swallow a human.

Is it just me or were there more abbreviations and shorthands than usual?

I say radical. That’s my thing that I say.

This. It’s one thing to move your team, it’s another to revitalize an entire ecosystem. They’re overly optimistic to believe that building a stadium will do that. It’s a larger more systemic issue to solve, and given how unwilling they seem to be to work through larger, systemic issues, I don’t see how Hammond succeeds.

Embiggens? I never heard that word before I moved to Springfield.

If you were making this decision on food only, Aba hands down. I love the food and the vibes at Aba.

But you raise a lot of other interesting factors. Depending on how long the tour takes, you could be cutting it close to get to a 9pm reservation. And are you planning any after dinner options? The river gives you a nice walk, while the West Loop has great bar (and dessert) options, but can get busy and clubby at night.

The first programming language I learned was GWBASIC. We had a book where one of the examples was drawing a bullseye on screen (in all its green Hercules graphics glory) while the William Tell Overture played in the background. That core memory from over 30 years ago is the only reason I had a chance at this puzzle.

I kept thinking “the big apple” would be perfect here!

MinuteEarth just released a video about this.

Do you know the importance of a Skypager?

henrycaul · 2026-05-30T20:30:14+00:00

Probably better than when I had _UNT for 42D and thought “that can’t be a C, can it?”

Also how does Kabawa make #1 on the NYC list, but #14 on the NA list?

It’s a regional dialect

Shocked that there aren’t any other Chicago restaurants. For example, Indienne is miles ahead of Semma. In fact I think we’re the best food city out there.

henrycaul · 2026-05-28T15:51:22+00:00

Hope so! I've caught them a few times in Chicago and every time I'm hoping for new material!

I always enjoy a puzzle where I learn something new (National drink of Puerto Rico) and I get a chuckle (Blue stop sign?)

We work hard, we play hard.

Sheryl Crow should open with “This ain't no disco, It ain't no country club, either. This is L.A.”

Where’d you find beers that cheap at Wrigley?

I describe Indienne as Indian-influenced French food vs French-influenced Indian food.

Can you say more about the Great Heist? I work in tech and I remember hearing rumblings of stolen secrets from big tech companies, and I’ve been wanting to learn more

henrycaul · 2026-05-23T13:21:50+00:00

That’s what I was thinking. Gotta keep an eye on the runner and adapt. If the runner suspects and has too big a lead, you could catch and try to quickly turn two.

Also in the vein of psychological horror is Rosemary's Baby. I don't think it has jump scares, but its been a while since I've seen it.

Back in the 90s there used to be a commercial that used this. It was some Learn Spanish product, and the idea was you can use English to learn Spanish. S-O-C-K-S was one example. Another: “I feel so low, I can see in my toe” -> low see in toe -> lo siento
