    Thanks! I think I peaked with today's puzzle, lol. I was able to figure out the theme, so I got the spanagram first. Then I got the rest of the words without using any hints or non-theme words.

    It's all downhill from here.

    Summit is the best app I've tried, with Boost a close second. It's got tons of features and is updated frequently.

    This is a good one, I used Geany for a long, long time (and SciTE before that!) Have since switched to mostly VS Code and Helix, but I do fire up Geany occasionally too.

    I had an appointment for my annual physical in June that I had to reschedule. I called a couple of days beforehand, and the first time they could see me was in November.

    We really are lucky as Americans not to have the crazy long wait times that other countries do, right?

    Thanks, that makes sense. I can't make up my mind between two Android clients: Summit and Boost.

    Unfortunately, Summit doesn't appear to persist thread collapsing at all. Boost does temporarily, but as you said, if I refresh the post, it gets reset. Would be nice to have clients support that, but it's not the end of the world, either.

    Edit: Just realized that saving the comment for the game I'm interested in would probably make a decent workaround.

    Thank you for all the work you've been doing on this! My only hesitation with having all games in one post is that on busy days, I wonder if it would be hard to find the game you're interested in. The post you showed had only three games, which was totally fine. But days with 10 or 12 (or even more!) games might be tougher. I guess time will tell how well it works in practice.

    I got the blue category purely from process of elimination. I completely missed what they had in common until seeing the solution. Kinda got lucky with that one.

    I agree with this to some degree, but at the very least, IMO it would be better to put the result inside the post, and behind a spoiler warning. There's really no way to avoid it if it's in the title of the post.

    Update: the town is working to find a better solution than outright removal of the course!

    In the interim, we will postpone the dismantling of the Disc Golf course and restoration plan until the Department of Environmental Protection states otherwise and/or an agreement has been made.

    Yes, I'm 45 and from the US.

    Unfortunately, although my current car (Mazda3) is available in a manual, I was looking to buy a 2018 model in 2019. My options were limited to remaining inventory, which did not include any manuals. Will be looking for a manual next time, but it's becoming almost impossible to find here.

    This is really shitty. The linked petition has the details, but the short version is that Stafford Woods, consistently ranked as the best course in New Jersey, is on the verge of being removed.
