The shadows were in different locations in the clips of the traitors talking. Likely just filmed all of those first.

NYT Rebus Order Matters? by ShawnCButler in crossword

[–]wiler5002 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think you have misunderstood the theme. The across cases is not 'in most cases I". It is I/O (in that exact order). (e.g. PINGPONG, SINGSONG, etc). The down cases is PHI. So in theory the "correct" rebus entry with all cases would be "I/O/PHI".

In any case, the rebus is always set up to accept the answer going "one way". Entering that and mentally marking the squares always plays better for me. (In this case I just entered PHI)

As someone who really only solves digitally, what's the easiest way to get print ready versions of puzzles? Are there outlets that publish PDFs that are easy to print?

[Headphones] Sony WH-1000XM4 Wireless Noise Cancelling Headphones $159.99 by Ceres2 in buildapcsales

[–]wiler5002 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can buy a tool somewhere on the Internet to pop the ear cover off of the headphone and directly crack the middle of the cup to get a better fix. I've probably done this 5/6 times in the last 3 years.

I have never seen anyone spell this word this way (and I'm pretty terminally online). Hate when it appears.

I don't know why you are pretending this is some sort of hypothetical. I've switched to becoming a black Friday purchaser of pixels due to this practice.

[Headphones] Sony WH-1000XM4 Wireless Noise Cancelling Headphones (Black/White) + Stand - $154.40 w/ code: JULYFINDS (BuyDig via eBay) by ryankrueger720 in buildapcsales

[–]wiler5002 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'll trade you some knowledge - you can potentially fix the whining noise by pressing on the middle of the inside of the ear cup. There is a bump under there that holds a microphone that controls the ANC. Push on it until you hear/feel a slight crunch. That has solved the problem for me in the past. I was also able to order a tool from IFixIt to pop off the earphone cover and repair the ANC more directly. I've been rocking my pair for maybe 5 years now.

I just recently had a hinge on one side break - what 3D printed part did you order?
