Pinterest Mom posted:oh my god karen she just threw twenty thousand dollars away today's episode, 3/22/23 people get lost a lot in the "optimal gameplay" wagering sauce but when you see someone commit *the* cardinal wagering sin it's so shocking that it's kind of refreshing. i feel bad! what could have possibly possessed her to make that wager!? also i don't think it's useful/helpful/fair to say "they should have known that" but... henry viii portrait painter and you're spotted "hans X the younger"? rough miss in the worst possible circumstances

Duckman2008 posted:IMO the rule should be people who haven’t won games (sorry Hookshot) or def like, 3+ games or wherever you want to set the bar. You can’t let Julia back on to crush people for 20 straight games. As long as the new rule re-eligibles me, I'm happy with whatever your opinions are lol. I have won as many games as Victoria Groce, so I'm hoping this works in my favour.

The energy on Wheel today is really something. Pat called it drunk energy and if they want to get all contestants drunk like this ahead of filming I'd watch more often.

Yeah it was a goofy game. That FJ clue was also.... not really well constructed. Also glad Michael didn't win, his smug disdain for the wrestling category sucked.

Yeah I got the answer...I think...would they have taken "inferiority"?...but when you're not even sure if the correct answer is a noun (the winner's wasn't), that's not a sign of a well written clue

I was thinking 'well, it's "less than", but a synonym that fits that question' and then tried to think of one and couldn't. So that was odd.

The people I watched with did a similar thing, I think the stumbling block was thinking they wanted the name for, rather than the meaning of, the "<" symbol that also matched the feeling of marginalized groups. A few people came up with "comparison operator" or "inequality" for the first part and couldn't get it to match precisely with the second part of the question. Oh well, at least Ken is hosting.

As someone who is an absolute idiot I got it.  I was like, oh, invert the V and it's less than. Maybe it's history with code that helped since you can use that a lot? ie, if (x < n) { dothing; }

Maybe I'm an idiot, but when I think of 'inverting' something I think of turning it upside down. An equivalence symbol is not exactly an inverted 'V'; it's more like one that's been rotated. A caret (^) is closer to what I'd think of as a possible answer. I tend to think that the question was a bit badly worded.

That's exactly the problem with how the clue was written. The definition of invert is "to put upside down or in the opposite direction." > is not an inversion of V. Edit: poo poo, I'm wrong. Just checked my recording, the clue was worded: "In math, it’s a rotated V; in society, it’s a feeling of some marginalized or underrepresented people" Timby fucked around with this message at 22:24 on Mar 25, 2023 |

The second half is what's weird to me. "less than" is not "a feeling of some marginalized or underrepresented people", at least not in those exact words. It's just odd Good morning, how are you? Oh, you know, I'm feeling fairly less than, today

Yeah that's sort of a "have you lived in/near NYC" question, but not even quite that. I lived in NYC for a while and took the bus a lot, so I guessed Metro Transit Authority since that logo is on drat near every bus in the city.

I knew Port Authority was the busiest, but “polished stone and steel” is just bizarre. There’s lots of steel and glass and concrete, but no stone I can think of
