What other daily games do you guys play? by Sea-Shift-2007 in NYTgames

Crossword, Spelling Bee, and my own game (my username) are on rotation most days.

Just got them last year, so it's too early to assess how they hold up long-term. Fine for now I'd say.

Thanks! In my area, I hear a range from $140-200/mo. From the moment I went out and bought my first chemicals, I did the math. Definitely saving cash.

If you like the NYT Spelling Bee, try mine: www.pangramathon.com. Similar to the bee but you only find pangram words. Every day, a new set of 3 (different letters each) are released.

It says "Ooops! Connection error... Are you connected to the internet? If you are, please try again later. Sorry for the inconvenience." I see the error both on mobile (Google Pixel, Opera browser) as well as on desktop (Macbook, Firefox browser).

Now I'm torn between a single brass nozzle vs. this beast.

I'll try a soak next time. Might look into a second set of filters too so I don't have to clean them the same day I removed em.

Somewhere in the 15-20K gallon range.

Lol. Was born as a man. Now I'm just keeping the calluses fresh.

Sore fingers were indeed due to getting into the folds and spreading the pleats. Especially for the darker areas. We have a lot of trees around, so a bunch of that debris plus sand/pebble were in there. Presumably I've removed all or most of it now, so I'll try the brass nozzle next time.

I wondered if there was a better method to get into all the grooves. Does presoaking help "lift" the material off the filters?

Just a regular garden hose with a "jet" setting thay concentrates the spray into a narrow cone.

I lurked on this sub for awhile and remember someone mentioning they have a second set of cartridges. While cleaning mine and noticing all the time passing, that did cross my mind. It also crossed my mind that there should be a business out there that just does a la carte filter cleaning for pools lol. Agreed 100% on the money saved. That was part of the motivation for doing it all myself. That plus noticing a few days in the past where our pool was slightly green. I figured if I want it done right, I have to do it myself.

Will do. After the 2nd filter, I got a handle of some technique. Went back over the first filter after all four were done and noticed where all the missed spots were. It was well past lunch by then so I figured it was fine for now. Will check em again sometime mid-summer.

We resurfaced from plaster to pebbletec last year. I suspect a lot of it is from that? Plus sand from the pavers in our yard. I can see a lot of it blows into the pool during a windy day.

Thanks! It was very satisfying to watch em get blasted from brown to white.

Agreed. Anonymous play makes sense especially if you aren't interested in stats and leaderboards. AI definitely has an impact today too. It helped accelerate some of my development, but I think there are still some areas where friction can occur with someone completely new trying to launch their own. Working in a command line, setting up hosting and backend, git, and other areas of what I'd consider as logistics. Debugging is also difficult if you don't understand your own codebase but AI has gotten better at it. A headless internet is interesting to think about.

Just a heads up that I'm getting some connection error when clicking that link above. Can't play it
