don't confuse adblock with ABP (adblock plus)

MetaEd

@Mitch youtube hasn't complained at me

MetaEd

Fri 19:29

@Mitch yes, adblock plus in English

MetaEd

Fri 19:27

ah, I bet that's it. I have ABP on this device

MetaEd

might be because it's not a proper S-A article but an old blog post

MetaEd

Fri 19:21

@Mitch hmm the article isn't putting up a paywall for me

MetaEd

Fri 19:17

the link I had rotted but I believe this is the same article: scientificamerican.com/blog/guest-blog/…

@Mitch when I wrote about this ages ago, my source was: JASON G. GOLDMAN Scientific American (2010) “Man’s new best friend? A forgotten Russian experiment in fox domestication”

"thang" contains a dipthong .. it's pronounced more like "thaing"

MetaEd

Fri 19:07

compare: sneaked out .. snuck out

MetaEd

Fri 19:05

@Vikas I take that to be the same as "freaked us out" but using a consciously irregular past tense form for .. comedic value or whatever

@Mitch when you breed foxes selectively for tameness, you also get floppy ears and curly tails

@Mitch are we ignoring other externalities such as longer lives that contribute more productive years to the labor market?

@jlliagre nice

and now starting July 8 when they began to keep stats for Strands: 10 Completed, 100 Solve %, 3 Current Streak, 5 Max Streak, 8 Spangram First 🟡, 10 Solved Without Hints

MetaEd

Wed 17:46

@Robusto since Connections started to score it: 166 Completed, 96 Win %, 0 Current Streak, 19 Max Streak, 134 Perfect Puzzles, 95 Purple First

MetaEd

Wed 17:44

MetaEd

Wed 17:43

@Robusto the other reason I do it is to get the point for "purple first"

MetaEd

Wed 17:39

@Robusto yeah, that's why my strategy is always to try to solve all four levels before I check my answer
