@j@janerationx.social @nfl@a.gup.pe And who's up next for the Giants? A team that just threw up a 70 on the Broncos. Hold my beer.

September had me so depressed that I actually got one yesterday, then forgot to post about it. Guess you'll have to take my word for it:

@danielmrose@writing.exchange Every once in a while, the World will be unusually difficult, and NYT puts out that X% (say, somewhere in the low 60s) solved the Wordle in 6 guesses that day. And they have included that most days, it is roughly around 95%. So it's a bit of a lonely pursuit.

@danielmrose@writing.exchange I have reduced it to about 3 starter words where, if they work, I have follow-up words that go with them that barely risk any new letters. Part of the challenge is that the first word has to be perfect.

@danielmrose@writing.exchange Thanks! I was hoping to get to 100 in calendar year 23, but the odds keep getting slimmer

Also, I kind of wondered what the problem has been in the job market for freshly barred attorneys... I might have found it:

@sentinian@neovibe.app It turns out of you guess a word such as "yippy" and you get zero letters correct, the game lets you guess that same word 6 times. But I do this on the honor system. Which is not to say I don't repeat letters. In this example, I often follow up with "pippy" and "zippy". Keep going until you have 6 different words, but feel free to repeat letters. At least that's the way I'm playing it.

@sentinian@neovibe.app Yup, I'm the rare bird out here trying to get zero letters correct (while guessing 6 different words) on the Wordle.

@KN3RDS@mastodon.online I remember reading an article from before the vaccines were out (fall 2020-ish?) based on data from insurance companies (for, say, long-term disability insurance claims), and their back-of-the-napkin figure for long Covid sufferers out of the work force (so not counting dead and not counting elderly, most of whom died), was 2 million. I'm surprised it's as small as 3 million here, 2+ years later.
