Personally, I would have done it with "Po" instead of "Nether" for purple, since Netherland is not the name of the country, but maybe that's just me being pedantic.

No, you're totally right to be miffed. And in fact they changed it by the time got to it. Now it's Fin, Green, Ice, Ire.

Knocked out green and then stalled out for the longest time.

Then somehow the word crane popped into my head which meant that whooping wasn't part of the big category and Frasier wasn't part of the television category. Got them all simultaneously basically.

Bad puzzle today imo.

Purple: "Say cheese" is one that straddles that line between bullshit and clever.

Green: Going of the their way to find 3 films with one word titles and then rounding it out by removing "the" from The Birds is bullshit.

Tried for the reverse order, but just missed.

Purple: I saw a few palindromes, but that wasn't it. But 96 was so out of place, and I have the maturity of a middle schooler so I was thinking about 69 and it hit me. Didn't take long to find mow from there.

Very uneven puzzle overall though. Other than purple there's not a lot fun with the other categories.

Hey, am I the only one who someday wants to get a "reverse order perfect victory"?

What I mean is to get them in the order purple, blue, green, and yellow, with no mistakes.

Post #6 and #8 were REALLY close.

I try that for some of the easy/medium ones. But for the really hard ones I just need to get a yellow out of the way to get started on the rest.

Really? Serial might be the most popular/mainstream true crime podcast and Radiolab is a pretty popular science pod. WTF refers to WTF with Marc Maron, probably the biggest comedy podcast. Never heard of the other.

I'm not a podcast guy. I vaguely knew that Radiolab was a show of some kind, but it could have been a Netflix documentary or a syndicated radio show for all I knew.

I don't like blue. Those are things that can be cube shaped, but aren't necessarily. Die really mucks up the category because the others fall in a much more solid category of "____ cube". But I guess they also had "____ bone" and didn't want to double down.

Ok, so they're useless.
Shame, sounded like a good "investment" vehicle. Not enough for me to spend like $10K deductible for healthcare, though. Fuck that.

"High" in this case is 1,500. That's what mine is and the out of pocket max is 3,000. But there are HDHPs that do have it cranked up to 10k or more from what I hear.

My priorities would be

401k up to employer match
HSA
Roth IRA
The rest of the 401k limit

I should probably be putting some more effort into finding out if some of that last bucket should be Roth 401k instead, but I haven't gotten around to it.

Another one that I was super intimidated by until I made the first guess.

I saw Clue weapons right away, but study is also a room in it so I was hesitant. Even after putting study in yellow, I still second guessed myself whether the last weapon was a pipe or a wrench.
