“Nathan for You” was SO ahead of its time! One of the most hysterical (and occasionally profound) shows I’ve EVER seen.
5D: Don't think I ever saw this before. If you know how to spell it, you are at an advantage.
I won't go back and check, but if I recall correctly: this is actually the first instance this week of NETS; there have been two instances of NATS: the first time you got it with crosses and the second time you guessed NETS and then had to go back and correct it!
Ha, your initial attempt at spelling onomatopoeia had the same error as mine. Difficult word to remember.
When I got to the bottom right and "middle of a date", I assumed the constructor was being slick and wanted the middle letters so I placed d-a-t, which, when paired with Taft on the down, completely hosed me for a bit. Ugh. Still 13 and change, but no PB today.
In coding, generally speaking, an ANTI-PATTERN is a style or technique or pattern in coding that is common, but generally recognized as bad. The clue isn't quite the definition, but close: you could say "Using X to solve problem Y is an anti-pattern" (where X is a data structure, algorithm, style, whatever). "Common, but bad, solution" is sort-of right.
I was a computer programmer (and debugging is a big part of the job) for most of my career (and it did entail solving Y2K problems, which were mostly simple-solves, but rampant in COBOL code) But I never came across this term "anti-pattern. Even with your explanation, it's difficult for me to understand it practically.
Its "Administration" ;-)
coffee shops have been putting cold brew on nitrogen gas.
Which means that, instead of carbonating something, they are nitrogenating it. Nitrogen gas forms much smaller bubbles than carbon dioxide does, so it has the effect of creating a "velvety" texture. This is also often done with beer, with Guinness being an archetypal example.
29 across made me think Hmmm Hmmm Hmmm Hmmm Hmmm Hmmm Hmmm.
Set a personal best. A little on the easy side.
Same for me 😃
Ditto! 14:18; second straight saturday with a pb
