This feels like the Spelling Bee is trolling me.

This is fun! 😭
Google AI text reading: Yes, water will absolutely freeze at -1000 degrees Fahrenheit (or any temperature significantly below its standard freezing point of 32°F). In fact, at such an extremely low temperature, water would be well past its freezing point and likely be in a solid state (ice). In essence, -1000°F is far below the freezing point of water, so it would be frozen solid at that temperature.

Today’s NYT Spelling Bee is taunting Java developers for some reason. What did we ever do to you?

NPR's original mission statement still inspires me to this day. On Giving Tuesday, I'm encouraging you to donate to your local station or the NPR Network. I'm proud to have been a part of public media for almost 20 years, and I think it's needed more than ever.

National Public Radio will serve the individual, it will promote personal growth, it will regard the individual differences with respect and joy, rather than derision and hate. It will celebrate the human experience as infinitely varied, rather than vacuous and banal. It will encourage a sense of active, constructive participation, rather than apathetic helplessness.

If this was The Price Is Right rules, I’d be a winner.

Just under the wire. Always been a late-adopter.
