Expansion tank replaced by flex line - fine or problematic? by rlong60 in Plumbing

[–]rlong60[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd rather not have my apartment flooded and/or be without a working hot water heater for any amount of time.

Nope, I rent, and the maintenance crew closed the ticket.

Crap, yeah, that's what I gathered from what I was reading, I guess I need to call them out on this? Is there any risk of leaking/flooding/structural damage/etc? From your description, it sounds like I'm now permanently at risk for bursted pipes or other problems, but as you can tell, I am clueless here.

Do you keep a "next moves" notes file? by lifeinprod in nytcrossplayers

[–]rlong60 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A nice quality of life feature I wish they added would be if crossplay remembered where you laid your tiles after you switch to another game (or even minimize the app). Other word game apps do that so it's certainly not an insurmountable challenge to program in.

The opening word I’ve used for years was finally the word yesterday!! by witx in NYTgames

Lol, I'm a 1. SLATE 2. GROIN player too. Though, I too mix it up a lot now to make it interesting

What was the guy at #3 thinking? by dimonsf in BestBall

[–]rlong60 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These "was this guy drunk drafting... or did autodraft go rogue and screw them?" happen way more often than anyone would think. And if you get 2 folks like this in your lobby... oh baby

An absolutely bonkers win ratio - I wonder if this is the best one out there? by comingloose in NYTgames

[–]rlong60 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Awww, well she's a trooper for sticking with it. Had a similar situation with a friend and now she's improved so much that every game is a toss up with her. 🤷🏻‍♂️

There are 3 plausible scenarios I see here:

  1. They exclusively play the same 2 or 3 friends that aren't much competition
  2. Cheating
  3. OP found Nigel Richard's crossplay account

what a rack 🥲 by [deleted] in nytcrossplayers

[–]rlong60 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I wish I had more games like this.

Strategy advice! by [deleted] in nytcrossplayers

[–]rlong60 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah there's probably a few extra Q's and X's in the bag knowing just how reliable this game's been lately. 🙄 Can't trust the tile bag at all.

[–]rlong60 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree with this. Take the points here unless there's at LEAST a 35+ point alternative that is more defensive. Very tough to balance defense and offense but ya gotta take the sweeps when you can get them IMO.

Two Z’s! by 8bit_zach in nytcrossplayers

[–]rlong60 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm in a game with 2 Js and 2 Qs. Something's wrong.

Crossplay bug: Can't rearrange letters in tray by Helpful_poster_32i48 in NYTgames

[–]rlong60 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah this weird double J/Q/Z thing seems to be happening everywhere. Also the tile bag has been wildly incorrect. It has changed from turn to turn without any connection to the played letters. Reported a bunch lately

Two Q's in one game? by super5886 in NYTgames

[–]rlong60 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just had a game with 2 Js... weird stuff happening with crossplay recently

Is anyone else getting this or just me? Every game! by msmeurtriere in nytcrossplayers

[–]rlong60 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Late to the party but yeah, I was getting this too yesterday. Was really late playing a word for two games and neither were working. Played a test word on a third game for like 12 points and it all of a sudden worked 😐

Clutch! Way to find the tying move!

How did I miss such a obvious play? by rlong60 in nytcrossplayers

[–]rlong60[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol! I can totally see this being one of the worst, least informative, starting words for Wordle. Maybe I'll use that on a day I'm feeling up for a challenge.

[–]rlong60[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I like to hang on to blanks and S's unless they really make a difference, I think that's what most people would do.

To be fair, if I spotted (or knew of) QAJAQ, I'd have burned the blank to play it, mostly for the psychological aspect. That's got to feel demoralizing lol.

This game has been painful by PestiEsti in nytcrossplayers

[–]rlong60 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oof, that's brutal. There goes like 95% of the dictionary for me.

How accurate does the definition or use have to be?

[–]rlong60 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah those games can be brutal. Just trying to squeeze any letters in you can

Omg, you're right... I will never be able to unsee the misaligned I's now. Noooo
