It looks like my extremely simple auto-moderation script is working now. It's doing nothing clever, so will have to change if the spammer changes pretty much anything about what they're doing, but they seem to have stuck with the same format for about 24 hours now.

@ColinTheMathmo I actually felt closer to solution than the pathway looks like I was.
I am not worried about wrong words, I fill in words I see until there are a few leftover letters, then rearrange. (Vs. being frozen because I can't see how to choose)

Also: official streak at 7, but 11 games in a row without hints!!

When I went to graduate school, I had to be revaccinated for measles. They told me that people vaccinated between 1963 and 1967 received a faulty dose and may NOT be protected. Please do what's necessary to protect yourself NOW before something bad happens.

@StillIRise1963 I seem to remember being re-vaccinated at about age 10-11. There may have been a public health push when the faulty vaccines were uncovered?

KarenCampe,
@KarenCampe@mathstodon.xyz avatar

@StillIRise1963 It was memorable! My family was friendly with our pediatrician socially. So he came to my house to give the vaccine and they had to catch me, as I ran away in fear! My younger sister didn't have to get one, she was born in 1969.

@albertcardona these blocks have some surface friction... 😉
And, have you been watching me? How did you know this bin of foam blocks just surfaced in the toy storage closet?

KarenCampe,
@KarenCampe@mathstodon.xyz avatar

@albertcardona My set is probably 15+ years old (my sons are both 21+)
We have some punctures from a pencil and some missing pieces... there are actually 2 sets in that bin: the darker set on the right is slightly thicker/bigger in dimension & a bit heavier per piece the lighter set on the left has more pieces but is more "flimsy".
I also seem to have longer pieces: columns and oblongs.

Undecided whether to keep for posterity (no grandchildren on the horizon) or donate to a thrift shop for someone else to enjoy.

Buying a flight here in the USA, and it turns out that AA hasn't implemented the most recent updates to customer authentication, so the credit card is declined.

Then try the Debit Card, and they want to send me a OTP, but I'm using a local SIM and don't have access to any of the numbers they have on record.

So I can't buy the ticket.

That's ... suboptimal.

(PS: It did get sorted, so no assistance required, but thank you if that was your first reaction)

@ColinTheMathmo this is one of the challenges of international travel !!

My son is working in Singapore for 6 months. He has a local phone (but he's kept his US phone contract). He kept incurring $10 per day "travel pass" charges from Verizon due to 2-factor authorization texts... finally turned off Verizon's travel pass to do "pay-as-you go" which is cheaper for a few texts.

Hope the rest of your arrangements are easier...

@ColinTheMathmo @amcsquared yes! Fun is more important than the streak.
I meant that if I checked more often, I would do more from the archive... I've got about 598 puzzles I haven't done yet 😉
And for my only important steak, I have the app Flow Free on my phone... and a 3+ year streak going. Had to strategize last year when I flew to New Zealand & "missed" a day (turns out your phone on Wi-Fi doesn't know you're missing a day, so it's all good)

A Flow Free daily puzzle from today. There are 7 pairs of colored dots scattered on a 7 by 7 grid. Object is to connect the same colors without crossing and fill the entire grid with the flow paths.
