Good morning/afternoon!

Got to a bit past genius with pangram so far.  Yesterday we needed bee buddy help with adept, heptad, teapot, I think.  I also had hothead but not hotheaded, and I even went through my list looking for pairs missing an item.  I have to just remember to always try it.

No luck on LB.  Closest I got was telework.  Congrats! And congrats on another today, cathwen!

Good luck with your packing, and I hope your flights go smoothly, ciao_yall!

Happy solving!

Quote from: jimbogumbo on April 26, 2024, 11:16:28 AMab_grp: how are you seeing Homicide? I didn't think it was streaming anywhere. It was a favorite of mine.

Sorry, that's one of the series we're watching on DVD (plus Succession, Doctor Who currently).  The recent streaming ones (on Amazon Prime) were Mr. Robot, Fallout, Person of Interest

I've always wanted to watch Homicide - I love The Wire. You should check out We Own This City if you are a fan of these shows. It was made by a lot of the same people and covers some of the same ground, but from a different angle. It is a six episode mini-series, so not too much of a commitment.

Quote from: mythbuster on Today at 07:40:37 AMSubmitting the same essay for two classes is a violation of our student conduct code here and is considered a form of plagiarism. I would check your university policies. At a minimum, I would suggest adding a clause about this to your syllabus for the future.

My institution has the same policy.

Don't these policies usually specify "without permission"? And as I indicated earlier, it would potentially only be the second submission that would be in question.

(As always, this term "self-*plagiarism" is an oxymoron.)

Good morning!

Genius with pangram so far. Yesterday I needed SBB to find doodad and hotheaded. (And I even had hothead early on!)

LB: I had the "official" leatherwork-knuckle. I was sure there would be a more efficient use of letters, but was too lazy to look further. Got a 2fer today!

Happy puzzling!
