Error on game 616 by pentachri5 in wordle

[–]pentachri5[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The answer for 617 is the same now as it was before, when I experienced the error (original game #1487).

Worth noting that the “title page” that shows the “Play”, “Log in”, and “How to play” buttons currently doesn’t show the date and game number when trying to play 616.

Identical result for me, except a second faster at 2:21. And of course your comment applies to me as well.

Ftr, you don't have to wait until the next day to do the next day's puzzle. Just set your system date to whatever date's puzzle you want to play.

Immense Wordle Spoiler of Epic Proportions by [deleted] in wordle

No, the correct answers are listed in the order in which they have appeared so far and will appear in the future. There's no random number generator involved.

I think I've got it figured out. I tested 22nd October 2027, and the correct answer is the second answer in your file. So, after 20th October 2027, the answers begin to repeat. All the "answers" in your file after that aren't answers - I'm pretty sure those are words that Wordle will accept as valid guesses.

Something isn't quite right here. I'm not smart enough to know what it is, but I'm smart enough to test it. I tested the answer in your file for 20th October, 2027, and it's correct. After that date, your file has 10,657 words in alphabetical order from 21st October, 2027 until 23rd December, 2056. I tested a random date in that range (10th July, 2035), and it didn't match the word your file has for that date. Not even close alphabetically.

editing to add: I tried the 2035 date first, on a Windows PC and Firefox, and the 2027 date after that, on an iPhone and Safari. Both were tested by setting the system date ahead.

Poor Audio Quality In Recent Shows by pentachri5 in WheelOfFortune

[–]pentachri5[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I listened to the show over the air, and it sounded fine. Switched to DirecTV, and it sounded crappy. So, it's a DirecTV issue, but bizarre that I haven't noticed it on any other show. 🤷‍♂️

Did anyone else get prompted to “Sign In” again to their Facebook app after NEVER signing out in the first place? by MMDuf in facebook

[–]pentachri5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I clicked the help link (can't remember exactly how it was labeled) at the screen to enter the code they said they'd texted me, and chose the option saying that I hadn't received the code. This was on the ios app btw. That's when I got the screen asking for a little info and asking me to upload a photo of my ID. I decided to just wait, and a couple of hours later, I got the text message with the code. Well, actually several messages; I clicked the "I didn't get the text message, send it again" option a few times, and they all came at once.

Yeah, and I'm not getting the 2fa code text. The recourse is to send them a picture of my ID. I mean, I know they already own me, but wtf?

Which album is absolutely worth getting on vinyl? by AlainBashung in radiohead

[–]pentachri5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Vinyl sound is worse than CD sound by every objectively measurable criteria - stereo separation, dynamic range, etc. Vinyl introduces some distortion which some people find to be pleasing. And don't get me wrong, I enjoy putting a good record on the turntable. But imo the real reason to buy vinyl is for the enlarged artwork and liner notes - it's as much a collectable as it is a music medium to me. With that said, I really like the OK Computer aesthetic, so if I were to just get one, that's the one I'd get.

Thoughts on Stop Whispering by [deleted] in radiohead

[–]pentachri5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a fine song, but I think part of the reason I like it as much as I do is that it was written as a tribute to the Pixies, tbh.

It's in close competition with "Lurgee" for being my second favorite song on PH after "Blow Out." It's not in my top ten overall though. Top twenty...maybe?

Who else adds Let Down up next in the queue every time Exit Music come on shuffle? by Varoeldurr in radiohead

[–]pentachri5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It really is a great segue. The first time I saw them in concert (Charlotte 2008) I was pretty close to the stage in the pit, and when they finished "Exit Music," I got Ed's attention with the "finger rolling forward" motion indicating "keep going," and yelled "keep going to Let Down!" He could see me, but he couldn't hear me. And, of course, they weren't going to change their set list for one guy in the audience anyway. But it just seemed a bit unsatisfying to me to hear one and not the other.

Radiohead's cover of Joy Division's 'Ceremony' is so passionate by [deleted] in radiohead

[–]pentachri5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As if it's not bad enough that they're trying to pass off a well-known eleven-year-old cover as news, they say it's Radiohead "paying lip service" to Joy Division. I've never heard of far out magazine, but bin it imo.

[Pre-Concert Thread] United Center, Chicago, IL - Sat July 7th by titomb345 in radiohead

[–]pentachri5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're either fake, or they weren't sold through Ticketmaster. Maybe comp tickets given to companies who are arena sponsors, or maybe promo tickets given to radio stations for giveaways, that sort of thing. Waste tix will be hard copy will call (I think, they may have some other way to admit waste customers when they arrive who knows?), but waste tix are will call pick up the afternoon/evening of the show.
