I feel NYT is pretty lax with some of its puzzles. NYT Mini really pushes the boundaries (and not in a good way) and Wordle is at times likewise.
When the better half and I play Boggle, we adopted some of our own rules to make the game play better and reduce arguments - words must be 3+ letters, no plurals (as these are cheap ways to drive up the score).
For the most part, Connections has been fair.

Delving into the atmospheric wonder of ERG's 'Cloud' at #Rijksmuseum. This 1970 marvel by Pieter Boersma blurs lines between art, space, and perception. Likewise, can we redefine our realities?

Antisemitism *is* real. As #JesseBrown describes in his recent #Canadaland editorial, there is a real and documented rise in racially motivated terror against Jews in Canada, including school shootings and a firebombing. Likewise, it's true that *some* people who support the Palestinian cause are antisemites:

But to stand in horror at Israel's military action and its vast civilian death-toll is not *itself* antisemitic.

This is the problem with the idea that "freedom of speech isn't #FreedomOfReach" - if a platform won't let people who want to hear from you see what you have to say, they are indeed compromising freedom of speech:

Likewise, "censorship" is not limited to "things that governments do."

The credits do not “come from anywhere”, as, for example, gold coins would have had to come from somewhere. It is accounted for but that is a different issue. Likewise, payments to government reduce reserve balances. Those payments do not “go anywhere” but are merely accounted for. #DiscoverMMT #MMT #LearnMMT

Here's how #extremeheat can impact the grid and #renewables – and what's being done to protect them
#Heatwaves can also impair efficiency of power generation and transmission. Both renewable and conventional #powerplants may operate less efficiently under high temperatures. Likewise, #electricity #transmissionlines can lose efficiency due to higher resistive losses at elevated temperatures. Battery systems, particularly #lithiumion, can suffer in high temperatures as well

We've reached the 'boiling seas' part of the #ClimateCrisis
Opinion by Hayes Brown, July 31, 2023
"July was the hottest month ever in recorded history, and we’re likewise seeing oceanic temperatures hit worrying highs around the world. Off the coast of #Florida, the water has hit 100ºF multiple times in last week, a temperature more suitable to hot tubs than the open sea. The unavoidable truth is that our oceans are warming faster than predicted, and it is beginning to feel like the hackneyed 'frog in a slowly boiling pot' analogy for climate change is more apt than ever.
"Things seem even more dire when you look at the other side of the #Atlantic. The #Mediterranean sea, already in the midst of its hottest July ever, last Monday broke the record for the hottest the sea has ever been, hitting 83.6º F. As Scottish meteorologist Scott Duncan noted, usually the maximum temperature in the area is in August, so the record could still be broken again.
"Meanwhile, the temperatures we’re seeing off Florida are a problem beyond the utter weirdness of the ocean feeling no more refreshing than standing in the sun. The rising heat is causing havoc on the ocean’s wildlife. Scientists on the Florida Keys are racing to save coral specimens taken from the third-largest coral reef on the planet and the only living barrier reef in the continental U.S. With the hottest part of summer likely still ahead, it’s not clear if the reef can handle that much sustained heat.
"And more broadly, warm waters are less able to hold onto dissolved oxygen, meaning that the more the sea temperature rises, the greater the chance we begin to see mass die-offs of fish and other sea creatures literally drowning. We’re already seeing the kelp forests that form the base of temperate coastal ecosystems dying off thanks to the temperature increases. And hotter waters in the Arctic and Antarctic will affect the ice melt rate and how much the sea level rises over the next decades."

Defensive driving on American highways is when you assume that everyone wizzing past you at 30 above posted is out to do you in, so you use more-than-warranted caution.
Likewise, in #IT, #DefensiveProgramming is when you assume that every piece code—functions your team wrote, libraries and frameworks that were foisted upon you, all of them—are out to get you.
And like defensive driving, defensive programming turns a freeing, joyous activity, namely programming, into a paranoid schizophrenic #disorder.
