"The Week" is a great magazine for this purpose.

I also solved it by hand many years ago but I think I never realized there was another layer to it! I was pretty proud of myself when I solved it so I’m pretty sure I kept my hand-written solution somewhere — will have to dig it up again!

What a strange take! Not an expert (or even a beginner) in this area by any means, but I definitely learned a lot, and I thought the author pretty clearly laid out why they think this probiotic may not be good for your body. Did we read the same blog post?

Hmm, what is it that I needed to know? And what does the info box tell me? As another simpleton in this world, I did not understand this comment.

I have a similar problem -- the Google Maps country I got is China, and the C is already 100 -- how do multiply it "down" to 35? Can I do parenthetical math similar to what a sibling comment suggested?

Update: I found the answer in another comment -- I can make the c lowercase! Thank you HN!

FYI for others -- from https://www.usds.gov/apply I understand that only US citizens (not even permanent residents) are considered.

The typo (Strange -> Strangle) gives this comment a very surreal vibe.

But where do you think such an AI will come from? It will be able to do that only because it will have been trained on a lot of data.

I'm sure this was a typo, but I don't think you meant "condemned." Maybe "commended"?

> if you never notice the distinction then what's the point?

Given there is usage of en dash in the wild as you mentioned, there's a possibility this may be a case of "you don't know what you got 'til it's gone."

The problem is that the real world, human thoughts and other things that language needs to try to express are not "sane." So if we are to have a common basis for communication, the guidelines will tend to get "insane."

Reminds of the Mitch Hedberg joke “I used to do drugs. I still do, but I used to too.”: “It appears to be a joke. It actually is a joke, but appears to be one too.”

+1 to this. That example message is very close to how I phrase questions in chats as well.

Using dpaste is a great idea! But I just realized that I was reading the clues wrong -- I thought the gray tiles were the user's attempts, not clues that the game gave you as already correct. It does indeed look like a bug or it's using a very obscure word. Sorry!

I have a possible solution but I can't figure out how to post it here without spoiling it immediately. If you tell me it's OK, or if somebody tells me how to post text with a black background (so you have to select the text to see it), I'll post it.

Thanks! That would definitely be a way to do it. I was hinting at something similar by saying "unless you use a user script to make the field editable again". You could also run a bookmarklet that makes the input editable using JavaScript, and then using the password manager. But it's a pain in any case if you're using the site on a mobile device.
