@Randal'Thor , if this is my refuge, as long as it's not an interruption, hello again!
Recent attempt to confound this language, which by now is my native:
"Physics alone determines that jump height is generally independent of body size, down to smaller than a mouse, where limiting factors become the fluid properties of air resistance and viscosity, not the kinetic factors of gravity and musculoskeletal physiology."
Avid puzzling stackexchange lurker Mr. Mnemonic (first name NOT Johnny, I promise) is having trouble remembering his login credentials. Knowing that he can be incredibly forgetful, he created a password clue device for himself that allows him to regenerate his forgotten password simply by looking...

I finally stopped tracking the 3 timer variant as it didn't appear to have an answer. The original version seems to have an answer, just not clear that it isn't the answer
As a word moves through a symbol (either left to right or top to bottom in a straight line), it changes according to a definite rule. Each of the four symbols has a different rule.
Insert the missing words into the empty boxes.

The Soma cube is a solid dissection puzzle invented by Piet Hein in 1936 during a lecture on quantum mechanics conducted by Werner Heisenberg. Seven pieces made out of unit cubes must be assembled into a 3×3×3 cube. The pieces can also be used to make a variety of other 3D shapes.
The pieces of the Soma cube consist of all possible combinations of three or four unit cubes, joined at their faces, such that at least one inside corner is formed. There is one combination of three cubes that satisfies this condition, and six combinations of four cubes that satisfy this condition, of which two are mirror...

To many people artists seem undisciplined and lawless. Such laziness, with such great gifts, seems little short of crime. One mystery is how they make the things they make so flawless; another, what they're doing with their energy and time.
@humn Yo ho homn and a bottle of rumn. How goes it?
@humn Main meta is a vicious and unforgiving place. You need to know the mores (sometimes by way of harsh lessons) before you can hope to post effectively.
I am a quite enormous space
And ten of me's the farthest place.
Two of those may place the bait
And ten times more stands tall and straight.
The answer is a single English word.
Hey, I just thought of a way to stop Deus and Gareth from getting so many answers! When you post a puzzle, put the answer in a comment and then delete it. Mods can see deleted comments, so it wouldn't be fair for them to answer it then :->

(Also GPR and Rubio, of course, but their ninja skills aren't so advanced anyway.)
@n_palum Yeah, it's still a factor. Which is fair enough - someone with hardly any rep probably has little site experience and no experience with high-rep tools.
But at least now people have other kinds of meaningless numbers to point at.
Which brings me to my favourite SE comment of all time:
It's not useless if it contributes to a badge. There's more to life than just points. For instance, there are other kinds of points. — Engineer ToastJun 4 '15 at 19:10
A floating, changing form of loveliness.
A scale of heat and oh, so deafening-
No wonder it can be bewildering.
Beneath it all is gloom and misery
But fortified it stands ideally.
The answer is a single English word.
Six PLK secret agents are arrested and interrogated for several days. An agent tells the truth when all his statements are true, otherwise he lies. A report is drawn up containing the following conclusions:
If agent $3$ tells the truth and agent $4$ lies then the agent $5$ tells the truth.

There are 2 buckets- one has a volume of 4 litres and the other of 3 litres. You can fill the buckets with water and pour it out as you wish.
Your goal is to have exactly 22/7 litres of water (pi approximation) in one of the buckets. How do you achieve that?

A while back, we talked about the -puzzle tags.. It seems like general consensus was that we should get rid of the suffixes, since they were redundant and no longer necessary - they originated from back when Puzzling was focused on questions about puzzles rather than puzzles themselves. Pl...
