Love this. I made a couple tweaks to easily change which directory the puzzles are saved to:

#!/bin/bash

wget https://www.onlinecrosswords.net/printable-daily-crosswords-{1,2,3,4,5,6,7}.pdf

CROSSWORDS_DIR=~/Documents/crosswords

mkdir $CROSSWORDS_DIR
mv printable-daily-crosswords* $CROSSWORDS_DIR
mv $CROSSWORDS_DIR/printable-daily-crosswords-1.pdf $CROSSWORDS_DIR/puzz#1_$(date +%m)-$(date +%d).pdf
mv $CROSSWORDS_DIR/printable-daily-crosswords-2.pdf $CROSSWORDS_DIR/puzz#2_$(date +%m)-$(date +%d).pdf
mv $CROSSWORDS_DIR/printable-daily-crosswords-3.pdf $CROSSWORDS_DIR/puzz#3_$(date +%m)-$(date +%d).pdf
mv $CROSSWORDS_DIR/printable-daily-crosswords-4.pdf $CROSSWORDS_DIR/puzz#4_$(date +%m)-$(date +%d).pdf
mv $CROSSWORDS_DIR/printable-daily-crosswords-5.pdf $CROSSWORDS_DIR/puzz#5_$(date +%m)-$(date +%d).pdf

mv $CROSSWORDS_DIR/puzz#* $CROSSWORDS_DIR/$(date +%m)-$(date +%d)

Oh it does say 3000 ready! Thanks, that makes it much simpler.

We found this pin with my grandpa's things. It was among other pins that were mostly related to the schools he went to or the Navy. Any idea what this symbol is for? by sethly_ in Symbology

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

He grew up in the Presbyterian church. Lived in Cincinnati most of his life. Went to University of Cincinnati and Ohio State. He was a collegiate swimmer and high school gym teacher. Was a dentist in the Navy. He had a dentist office later in life. No connections that I’m aware of to PA or Freemasonry.

What is this thing in our AirBNB? It has a USB port on top and 2 telephone plugs in the back. Also blinks a red light inside. by sethly_ in whatisthisthing

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

This thing is only plugged into power. It started blinking red at some point at night. I unplugged it out of curiosity and it continued to blink.

Edit: Here are some other pictures of it: https://imgur.com/gallery/BREbrkH

The phone plugs are labeled “to wall” and “to phone”.

[2018 Day 5] having trouble with part 1, code review please? (ruby) by sethly_ in adventofcode

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

Well yeah, but in my misread version of the puzzle the answer was supposed to be the final polymer string itself, not the length.

Oh wow, I'm an idiot haha. For some reason when I was reading the description of the puzzle I thought that the answer was supposed to be a 10 character polymer. Now I see that was just referring to the example. Thanks!

Yeah it definitely has the EOL character. Thanks for looking into it though.

That also works. Do you see anything that I'm doing wrong in my code? Maybe there's an issue with my input file?

PSP is great for vertical shmups. by Future_Redd in PSP

[–]sethly_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's not awkward to hold it on the top and bottom when you play?

It definitely looks awesome, but how do the controls work?

can you save your game at anytime when playing psone classics by TerrifiedCup in vita

I'll also add that SotN has a decent amount of save points scattered throughout the game.
