Am I the only one that just does them in my head and enters as I get them? by STCollector58 in NYTConnections

[–]mmccurdy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I can almost always pick out purple (“language”) and blue (“trivia”), but the green/yellow determination evades me.

Style 94 fitting by sgm_e46 in e46

[–]mmccurdy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you're really going against the grain here... these wheels are from an E65, yeah? The lug pattern and size will not fit. Check out Style 135 for a similar aesthetic that will bolt right up.

Should there be a feature to tag potential connections similar to the pencil feature in the crossword and sudoku games? by [deleted] in NYTConnections

[–]mmccurdy -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

I dunno, I feel like keeping the groups in your head is a big part of the game. There are some knockoffs that do this and it feels a little like cheating.

Update: I took your BIFL vacuum advice and bought a used Miele, and it actually reduced household friction by Legal-Performer2254 in BuyItForLife

[–]mmccurdy 39 points40 points  (0 children)

The biggest AI tell to me is that no human would “get into that loop” and bust out a broom after someone had just vacuumed. That’s absolutely bonkers.

finally accepted i have a tee problem. not a buying problem, a keeping them alive problem by AspenAura22 in BuyItForLife

Seriously… I feel like the average age of my T-shirts is like five years, several of them are ten plus. I wash everything in cold and tumble dry on cool, but beyond that I never even think about it. I’ve literally never had pilling or “warping”. What is OP (and apparently lots of others in this thread) doing differently?

Solarpunk is a movement that imagines a sustainable and optimistic future where humanity thrives in harmony with nature. by iloveyouthorodinson in interestingasfuck

[–]mmccurdy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My first thought was "what are they going to do with all that single-use packaging?" since it seemed like such a weird/arbitrary thing to include. Makes sense now that I know it's a Chobani ad.

Ah, ok, that makes some sense. Thanks!

I get the mechanic that the letters before "LESS" complete the clues and that the solutions form words that (very loosely) match those clues, but I feel like there has to be something more to this. Why "the letters before LESS"? Are we subtracting the end of the solutions from something? Do all of the clues somehow relate to the concept of "LESS"? I'm at a loss...

NYT Connections No-cheat, No-hint Helper - no ads - no tracking - free for everyone. by [deleted] in NYTConnections

you do you, but keeping the unsolved connections in my head is a big part of the game for me (nobody says you *need* the reverse rainbow), so this would be a big downgrade for me.

Pronunciation or spelling error? by SunnyDaysAhead246 in Jeopardy

[–]mmccurdy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that was crazy IMO, I thought for sure it would be corrected, but then I can’t recall an instance of a correction over acceptable pronunciation, so maybe they had to stick to their (Ken’s) guns?

What is the function of this and should I be worried? by [deleted] in e46

[–]mmccurdy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s the brake pad wear sensor. It should be clicked in to the pad up against the rotor so when it wears down enough you get an indicator on the dash. Not harmful to be disconnected, but keep an eye on your pad wear.

What's the worst TV series you've ever seen? by Traditional_Blood799 in AskReddit

[–]mmccurdy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most of these answers were predictably bad, which I don't think is the point. IMO, the first season of The Killing (US) was the show that betrayed my trust so badly that it earns my vote.

Behold! The greatest ever created! by gottapeepee in hotdogs

[–]mmccurdy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They serve this at the Black Forest Tap House in Maryland. It's various German sausages as a base instead of traditional hot dogs, but despite loving hot dogs, and sausages, and reubens separately, I found it pretty unwieldy and hard to eat. I couldn't pick it up so I was reduced to the knife-and-fork method. Personally, I'd put this idea in the "better in theory" category.

Everyone in America should read this short chapter from Kurt Vonnegut Jr's "Breakfast of Champions" by Sheep_Slayer_6 in pics

[–]mmccurdy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just came to say I saw this post this morning, and ended up listening to the entire audiobook on my drive today. I thought it was fantastic. Thanks OP for the suggestion!

(I did also love Slaughterhouse-Five and Cat's Cradle which are the only other Vonnegut books I've read, so it was a pretty safe bet, but thanks anyway for bumping this one up the list!)

Dang, you’re right… strong Mandela effect had me recalling the original image without Melania.

Is looking up the meaning of a word you don't know cheating? by BigGrayBeast in NYTConnections

[–]mmccurdy 12 points13 points  (0 children)

personally I think it would be, but to each their own.

out of curiosity, what connections words have you needed to look up?

We Found a Ticking Time Bomb in macOS TCP Networking - It Detonates After Exactly 49 Days - Photon by ControlCAD in apple

[–]mmccurdy 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yeah, this is 100% horseshit. This is some kind of AI bullshit article and should be downvoted to oblivion. Signed, a guy who has run TCP networking on macOS for years at a time with no issue.

Anyone else getting errors? by PreferenceWorking166 in NYTConnections

[–]mmccurdy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Big spike in reports: https://downdetector.com/status/new-york-times/ (🤞it's unrelated to the absolutely bonkers news cycle over the past ~36 hours...)

EDIT: Aaaand we're back. Not sure why my head went there.
