12:10 am

jesdraggon

lots of words in this one that were also in the last one

12:10 am

justafreep

I've already blocked that out :-)

12:13 am

dcseain

1:59 AM will go straight to 3:00AM tonight due to Daylight/Summer Time starting tonight in North America.

12:13 am

dcseain

and a good flip to everyone

12:21 am

jesdraggon

Off for the night, hopefully back tomorrow for the rest. luck in the grid, all

12:21 am

justafreep

g'night

12:21 am

Gillie

It often seems like words get carried over from one grid to another, but it's hard to tell if it's just accidental. It could be something to do with how new grids are generated.

12:22 am

Gillie

G'night

12:23 am

justafreep

I suspect it's actually purely random. But sometimes, a lot of the same letters appear, and we notice it.

12:24 am

Gillie

Well, you need some basis to build a grid on. Selecting a few words at random from a previous grid could be a way to do it.

12:24 am

justafreep

Hmm. I suspect it's just a weighting of common letters and then some odds rather than seed words.

12:25 am

justafreep

But I don't know. Maybe Dr. God shakes a big boggle grid each day and that's what we get :-)

12:25 am

Gillie

I had a Computer Science professor who assured us that our exams would never be scheduled too early in the morning. He was responsible for the algorithm that did the scheduling of exams for the university, and it need some pre-scheduling to build on.

12:26 am

justafreep

And it probably needed that first cup of coffee, too....

12:26 am

Gillie

It made me wonder about a different professor in the department, who complained that her exams always seemed to be scheduled early in the morning.

12:28 am

justafreep

ha!

12:31 am

Gillie

Anyway, down to 30 left, so g'night, and thanks for the calls

12:32 am

justafreep

G'night!

1:05 am

ursh

If I have read correctly the grid starting time will be an hour earlier from tonight/tomorrow ?

1:12 am

GroovyKiwi

I think so ursh

4:05 am

Sam Snead

Going back to an earlier discussion, there's definitely a trend of picking up letters from the previous grid. Often more obscure letters too.

4:39 am

dcseain

an hour later, ursh.

5:02 am

Lizlin

An hour earlier in the southern hemisphere!

6:17 am

mattygroves

It's an hour earlier here too - our clocks don't change until Easter Sunday (at which point it'll flip here at 6am - now it flips at 5am)

7:02 am

MollyL

This is like the scene in "The West Wing" when they're trying to figure out what time it will be when the President gets back from Japan.

morning folks

8:56 am

Scrabbler

Haha. That's a tiny car.

8:57 am

godthaab

Over

8:57 am

Scrabbler

Good morning, hurshy. 9:57 here if you remembered the time change.

8:57 am

godthaab

But it a 2 million dollar tiny car!!

8:58 am

BzznBea

hello friends

8:58 am

Scrabbler

2 million?

8:58 am

hurshy

yes, well, it's easy now cause phones and computers automatically switch. you can't really forget it

8:58 am

Scrabbler

Yes, but I have to change the time on battery-operated clocks, the stove, the microwave, etc

8:58 am

Scrabbler

Hi Bea

8:59 am

hurshy

right but the others switching is a prompt to do so

8:59 am

hurshy

i mean you can still hate it, too. that's not different.

9:00 am

BzznBea

i dislike it interferes with my natural rhythms.

9:00 am

Scrabbler

My youngest sister drove from NC (EST) to TN (CST) yesterday so had a lot of time changes in the last day.

9:00 am

godthaab

Sorry, 3.3 million. My car dealership sells them. I drool every time I go there.

9:01 am

Scrabbler

Oh, my, godthaab.

9:01 am

Scrabbler

I mean the price, not your words.

9:01 am

hurshy

it's so dumb too, you would think that since it leads to more accidents and costs the economy billions every time we switch the clocks, congress would end this insanity and just pick one and leave it.

9:02 am

godthaab

Sorry, I am going this on .y phone, which I rarely do

9:02 am

hurshy

but noooooo, heaven forbid they actually do something helpful

9:02 am

Scrabbler

Isn't there a proposal to end the time changes?

9:02 am

hurshy

yeah, but i don't think it's "real".

9:02 am

BzznBea

i thought so, scrabbs

9:03 am

hurshy

i know a year or two ago the House staffers all conspired to push it through and not tell the reps they worked for that they were having a vote on it so it passed unanimously

9:03 am

hurshy

but of course that didn't do any good because the senate didn't go for it

9:04 am

72 Temple Owl

not fond of time change so early, but enjoy the extra freedom of dricving in daylight.

9:04 am

hurshy

you can have it be the DST all year if you want, just NO SWITCHES

9:05 am

72 Temple Owl

having managed to accommodate to it for so many years, no big deal.

9:06 am

hurshy

but it IS a big deal, i just said how it causes tons more accidents and costs the economy billions every time

9:06 am

hurshy

just because you don't feel that it has affected you doesn't mean it is no big deal, it is literally bad for us

9:06 am

72 Temple Owl

whatever

9:06 am

hurshy

"more people dying? whatever"

9:07 am

Scrabbler

Good morning, Owl.

9:08 am

72 Temple Owl

well, good morning to you, scrabbler. nice to see the sun today!

9:08 am

Scrabbler

It is snowing hard here. We will get 5-7 inches by tomorrow.

9:09 am

72 Temple Owl

omg, i thought folks were kidding about snow.

9:09 am

bichon

At least you don't have to drive in the snow if you don't want to

9:09 am

Scrabbler

Winter is never over when we think it is over. We had an early spring.

9:09 am

Scrabbler

The bunnies will need greens tomorrow.

9:09 am

72 Temple Owl

hmmmm

9:10 am

72 Temple Owl

they so not need them daily?

9:11 am

Scrabbler

I will run out tomorrow. I buy greens twice weekly--escarole, parsley, cilantro, green leaf

9:11 am

Scrabbler

They get morning and evening salads.

9:12 am

hurshy

last night i saw some video of bunnies eating, it was so cute

9:13 am

72 Temple Owl

9:17 am

Scrabbler

Ha, we have a snowstorm.

9:18 am

Scrabbler

I used to watch it, Owl, but then I cancelled cable.

9:19 am

72 Temple Owl

ah...i am thinking of going to an antenna. but the best option i picked up when tv brike- wean away in favor of reading or an occasional show or movie on dvd

9:19 am

72 Temple Owl

so no antenna for local channels?

9:20 am

Scrabbler

I stream from Amazon Prime. I should get an antenna.

9:21 am

72 Temple Owl

they are pretty unobtrusive now. i have been researching.

9:21 am

governess

antenna works well here, we also do prime and we each choose a streaming service. currently i have paramount.

9:21 am

Scrabbler

Anyone have the lone i?

9:21 am

Scrabbler

I think I will get Paramount Plus.

9:21 am

72 Temple Owl

9:22 am

phaeton

in6/21...lone i

9:22 am

ChampFit

I have it. In 6/21. Go straight up and take a left at the top

9:22 am

governess

the newer smart tvs have plenty of their own stream options, like channels with a line up of old shows

9:22 am

hurshy

9:22 am

72 Temple Owl

Scrabbler

4:45 pm

sorry seain -- mexican food isn't exactly all that popular in my neck of the woods

4:49 pm

Gillie

Well, we've definitely heard of ta4's

4:49 pm

cybernan

just looked it up --- apparently there are 10 mexican food places around town -- never been to one though

4:50 pm

cybernan

yes - see Ta 4 bells all over the place in AZ and CA

4:50 pm

Gillie

You could probably even buy a Old El Paso ta4 kit in a grocery store

4:51 pm

Everyone has a right to their opinion, but I disagree that "violence is the only option to obtain justice."

5:52 pm

dcseain

I too do not subscribe to that theory, but have many friends who do.

6:07 pm

dcseain

and firewords!

8:24 pm

dan2bit

I encourage everybody to read Isabel Wilkerson's book Caste, if you haven't. It is the book that the movie Origin is based on

11:12 pm

Gillie

I'm not in favor of using violence to get justice, but I understand how people can come to believe that it is necessary, when their plight is otherwise ignored. I certainly don't think that the so-called "war" that Israel is waging against Gaza is a useful or proportionate response to Hamas's terrorist activities. The recent violence and kidnappings by Hamas were vile, but Israel is responding with genocide against a population that has no means to defend itself or to end the war. Gaza's residents don't control Hamas, and Israel's government seems to think that the appropriate response to an atrocity is an another atrocity.

11:27 pm

Gillie

And, to be blunt, there are situations where violence may be the only conceivable way of achieving justice, as for instance when individuals are held against their will, are under occupation or under attack. The only alternative is for someone else to come to the rescue, and that hasn't been happening for the Palestinians.

11:38 pm

jesdraggon

and rescue would also often involve violence.
evening Gillie

11:38 pm
