Had them for a few years, trying everything to get rid then went on a sun holiday. Not sure whether it was a combo of the sun and seawater but they disappeared over the course of about four days. Can still remember how happy it made me.I hold silver in tit for tat, and I love you for that

Such a lovely game, what makes it is that there is only one word a day. If you had multiple attempts, we would probably never have heard of it.. Just proves the small, little things are sometimes the most effective.

Which got me to thinking... if he didn't want to bastardise it by placing adverts on it etc... would he still make money out of it? I mean, it sounds like he doesn't need money; i'd say you wouldn't exactly need to be a shit-hot software developer to develop it, but at the same time he's probably uber-competent......it'd be kinda be a shame if he didn't get some reward though?

Presume that's the way it's meant to be played and the obvious EV way of doing so?

I'll sometimes put a fake word in to get a visual of the end of a word, might cover the screen to hide the first two letters.
Put in LANCH the other day and lost a turn. Turns out it's an actual word. Think I hit enter out of habit.

If you bink two consonants you're pretty nailed on to get it in three. It can obv go wrong and you get nothing. Although that happened me before and I was lucky enough with the second word to get it in three.

is the optimal word then you can change strategy on whether you are using hard mode and how the first word lit up
QUOIT can be a useful second line if you get a blank on the first.Turning millions into thousands

Its a great article . You should read it . as George Michael said-> Listen without Prejudice.
Nor has there been any room to push back on the narrative that Irish menare collectively partly to blame, even though it is, in this case, patent nonsense. Point out that the prime suspect is not Irish, was not educated in Ireland, or steeped in Irish culture, and you will be called a racist. Point out that OECD figures show that violence against women is a metric on which Ireland does very well internationally, and you will be accused of missing the point, or minimising the problem. Of course, every parent agrees that it is important to raise sons (and daughters) to respect each other. Of course, we all stand opposed to violence – or even plain loutery – against women. But the idea that this is a cultural issue is offensively absurd, more so when it transpires that the primary suspect grew up on the other side of Europe.

For wordle you can choose words that have the most common letters in words for the first two but it takes a lot of the fun I guess. I've just started but mostly do hard mode now for fun. Did shit today though:

There's a level of shrillness on the extremes of each side (enforced curfews and designation safe spaces for example)and there's the vast majority of us in the middle who aren't willfully ignorant of the experiences of women, might think a little on if they can personally do more and know they are largely not the target of ire.
Recognizing agendas such as the bloke from gript in important. The clamour is gender based. He's the one putting a racial/cultural spin on it.People say I should be more humble I hope they understand, they don't listen when you mumble

It’s exactly why Laz has been getting stick all week in that some are dressing up a reasonable view like “hey lads here’s a few things to be aware of when you’re out and about“ and extrapolating it the argument to all men are responsible for the crimes of the few. Those who disagree with the latter will point to the former as to why the point is ok. (Laz isn’t doing this but is take stick for those that are IMO)

Its what RDIII said yesterday (in extremis) about how this kind of thing opens up the road to the Trump's (LePen, Farrage, Ganley Quinn and McGurk's) of the world. The way the conversation was delivered on SM and RTE over the weekend was constructed to shut down discussion or any subtlety and that creates fertile breeding ground for these kind of people.Last edited by Strewelpeter; 17-01-22, 13:59.Turning millions into thousands

This girl's murder started a broader conversation.
A conversation about how women feel general fear of men. In everyday life, excersising, walking home, getting a taxi.
My whole point, a simple point, is that it would be helpful for more good men to be aware that that fear exists, whether it's based on statistical reality or not.
That awareness may do a little to help reduce it. Hitch argued it won't, and that's fine. I'm finished arguing it now.
I've said multiple times that I'm not looking to reach dangerous psychopaths.
I've also made it clear that I'm preaching mostly to the choir in here with that point.
It's mind numbingly frustrating that after three days people still are arguing something I haven't said.I hold silver in tit for tat, and I love you for that

Originally posted by Goodluck2me View PostFor me it does because you realise the agenda he has, there’s always enough truth in these types of articles to make it sound reasonable when the subtext is the real text.
