Acceptable progress on both fronts.

Good evening!

QBwSBB for the last word, owing—which I could have sworn that I typed right after owning. Today I got to QB, but only with some SBB help.

LB: I had watched-diploidy. No solution yet today.

Happy puzzling!

Daniel Dennett, philosophical giant who championed "naturalism," dead at 82
Part of the "New Atheist" movement, best known for work on consciousness, free will.  (So sayeth ArsTechnica)

My students are currently reading Dennett, so this will be a surprise to them on Monday.

Quote from: poiuy on April 18, 2024, 06:39:32 PMI don't often post on these fora. I don't know if anyone here even registers when I post. Maybe I am speaking to the void. But the impulse is here. 
My father left us in January 2022.  My mother, in March 2024. They were both very good, cool, people who gave us everything.
It was a rough ride the last few years with each of their health issues, and being a transnational family, though we were so incredibly fortunate that one sibling lived right there.
It's odd how heavy the absence is, of the person, of the routines, of all the vast space in heart and mind.
I think of the parable of the mustard seed and soldier on. I hope their energy is zinging around the universe in ultimate bliss.

Sorry to hear about your loss--the death of a parent is hard. The death of both parents changes the hierarchy, as all of a sudden, you're no longer the child, but the head of the family.

Afternoon!

Pangrams--don't know how I found them--and above genius. QB yesterday, again don't know how I found the pangrams!

Went birding this morning.

Happy solving!

My spellcheck got confused.

Very helpful.  Thank you.

Good morning!

Got to genius with pangrams so far.  I could not get the third pangram, ironworking, yesterday.  I thought I had it with gigworking, inkworking.  Ugh.  Husband got to QBABH!

No luck on LB.  That seemed like a tough one!

Happy solving!

Morning!

QBwG, last word wooing. LB - after flailing around with 3fers, finally went to hints, Googling hints, etc to find the rather straightforward typhoid-declaw.

Happy solving!
