I got all the Bs, there's a pair that's a little unusual
8:25 am
hurshy

8:25 am
mael
to mix things around
8:26 am
mael

12:28 pm

12:36 pm
hokie carla
okay, that middle row S is a PITA
12:43 pm

I saw it clued right when I got here or I'm sure I wouldn't have stumbled onto it
12:51 pm
MollyL
It's the other pr8 that is nasty
12:51 pm
hokie carla
oh, there's another?
12:52 pm
MollyL
But according to Ru it's a nice grid with only two weird words. *Cough cough
12:53 pm
hokie carla
yeah, you know I take his grid reviews with several grains of salt
12:53 pm

12:55 pm
hokie carla
that's okay, I can just look it up later
12:55 pm
cybernan
no, but the he 7 is similar to that
12:56 pm
hokie carla
well that helped me find he7/8
12:58 pm
hokie carla
LOL, I just now realized what you said. I thought you said "the 7" is similar to that, so I'm still trying to make a p7/8 like that.
12:59 pm
hokie carla
and still haven't found the dumb ga8

ga8s are actually cranes. I only know that because I am in the construction business.
1:20 pm
hokie carla
why would you know birds in construction? 😜🤣
1:21 pm
moolingwa
cranes? :)
1:22 pm
moolingwa
I can just imagine a sandhill crane lifting up cement blocks
1:22 pm
hokie carla
they have a big wingspan, so they can probably do a lot
1:23 pm
moolingwa
was a lot of them out in Nebraska when I went out there last month
1:23 pm
cybernan
Done - no matter what ru and mool think, this grid was not easy
1:23 pm
hokie carla
agreed
1:23 pm
moolingwa
I don't think it's easy for what it's worth
1:24 pm

1:36 pm
hokie carla

1:37 pm
moolingwa

1:38 pm
hokie carla
I got the first part of nan's pr7 clue but no idea on the rest

1:45 pm

there's a concept in my line of work called Zero Trust :)
1:45 pm
welki
heh - probably in most lines of work
1:46 pm
hokie carla
you're saying you don't trust welki? come on [runs quick virus scan]
1:46 pm
welki
i wouldn't trust me. ask anyone :)
1:46 pm
moolingwa
how we can be sure it's really welki...maybe welki is an AI sim?
1:47 pm
moolingwa
maybe welki doesn't actually exist
1:47 pm
hokie carla
it is a video of tiny hummingbird feeders
1:47 pm
hokie carla
how did you make them?
1:48 pm
moolingwa
it could be a clever acronym like We Exist Long-after Killing It
1:48 pm
welki
quick trip to the dollar store for tiny containers and a hummingbird feeder (for the flowers) - drilled a hole in the lids, affixed the flowers, added nectar and bob's your uncle!

moo, why do you all call it Zero Trust when obviously should've gone with Mulder's "trust no one".
1:51 pm
moolingwa
looks schmooks...leave that to the "influencers"
1:52 pm
moolingwa
well trust no one is a tenant, but in the name of brevity...Zero Trust cuts out a space and a letter ;)
1:52 pm
hokie carla

plural of a french word. trendy clothing brand in the 80s
1:53 pm
moolingwa
plus in zero trust, it can be a non human (e.g. a piece of code) that is making the request, so the no one kind of breaks down
1:54 pm
bleugirl2
i ok i couldn't see the plural. do now.
1:56 pm
hokie carla
I got an email from a company yesterday that they locked my account because of too many attempts. I can't even get past the email screen when I try to log in because of technical difficulties.
1:56 pm

yeah, that definitely happens
1:57 pm
moolingwa
oh, just found a couple of P's...another guess
1:57 pm
hokie carla
but how am I supposed to even do anything to take care of it?
1:58 pm

I'm leaning that way soon myself. This one is challenging. I've only got 60 so far, and am rather at a loss. even with a couple breaks
2:26 pm
