    • 🟩 Never heard the term green cheese, but I had one away and any other combination would've put cheese and green cheese together
    • 🟦 I thought there was cheese figure and not boot, boot was placed in the moon category (as an astronaut boot print)
    • 🟪 not my kind of theme, never heard of jack as cheese or as donkey

    Blue was complete guess. I understand the group, but don't know the thing it refers to at all.

  • This need's to be higher in the comments!

    9 day streak broken (my longest ever).

    • 🟨 Srew you NY times, how is this yellow??
    • 🟩 Had this idea, but bad?? That was the last thing I would've tought
  • Oh, shit. TIL

  • Oooh… It flew over my head completely, but I doubt I would've been tricked.

    I somehow searched for disk as in floppy disk and found nothing that fit with that. The sus thing about this herring is that only zip is not a physical drive and thumb with flash would refer to the same thing while others don't.

  • I wouldn't say purple was particularly bad this time in that regard.

    For me Bombay and missus didn't really fit with anything. Bombay was the hook that helped me sift through leftovers. Being the only place name it suggested to look at word parts or changing letters.

  • What was the herring?

    Green was the trickiest for me today (had the right theory and accidentally "cheated" with a dictionary). I'd switch green and blue in difficulty, but other than that pretty straightforward.

    that. was. fucking. hard.

    I saw green immediately and was too suspicious of it. All the rest are just… a nop.

    • 🟨 English is just weird to with this one. I heard of riot and hoot in this context. Laugh is the only straightforward one and scream was mostly a dictionary enforced guess (I allow myself to use English to my native language dictionary for connections).
    • 🟦 Buck!? What the fuck are you on about? Even cackle is questionable
    • 🟪 Thank god I've heard that there are four f-responses for stress. BUT GOD FUCKING DAMN IT, A FUCKING FAWN?? ARE YOU INSANE?

    Pretty easy today. 7 day streak continues.

    Electra complex was the one I haven't heard of before.

  • I did not correctly guessed the order for green and yellow.

  • I don't know how many times I had to deal with missing VCRUNTIME140.dll or MSVCP140.dll or other crap on Windows. This is not a Linux exclusive problem.Reading through the comment thread I can't help but think that your whole situation is self imposed.

    Dependency problems are universal and there are tools to deal with it. It just seems that you're refusing to use those tools (even Windows has winget now instead of relying on every installer bundling / linking its dependencies).Now, it's fair to not want to deal with CLI, but your cited experience is an outlier. It is not normal to break your system with just apt update && apt upgrade -y. As a matter of fact apt will not upgrade if there are conflicting dependencies, you sort of have to force it to break your system.There are wrappers that provide a GUI for apt (and even dpkg, which is usually invoked when double clicking a .deb file) so why not using them?

    In Windows dependency issues are often offloaded to the provider of the software, but they are still just as present. In Linux this problem was solved[^1] a different way — via package managers. I don't want to be the "skill issue" guy, but refusing to use the platform intended tool to solve a problem is kind of a "skill issue". At some point you are responsible for knowing how to use an OS, just as you are responsible for knowing how to drive a car if you want to drive a car.

    [^1]: dependency hell is still an issue so take the word with a grain of salt.

    6 day streak!!

    • 🟦 Never knew Tom Hanks voiced Woody. Haven't seen the other movies besides Forest Gump. I just thought of fictional characters (like Jake Sully) or something (Phillips was a guess).
    • 🟪 Junior mint, never heard of it. Had the idea of ___ mint, but had to guess the junior.
  • I think it's that tobacco thing you pop under your lip. Like chewing tobacco, but less chewing and gross spit.

  • With me we disagree with 3 of them then.

    Lesson I say the o and lessen I say the e. Sure, the sounds are not stressed or anything, but I hear the difference between them.

    Sync and sink might be my quirk, I say the sound ee as in seen, so sounds more like seenc to me.

    • 🟨 That was quite straight forward;
    • 🟩 I was sure this was purple like national ___;
    • 🟦 This was quite clear, but I cheated a littleI saw kent, camel and parliament quickly. Salem sounded most like a cigarette brand so I googled "salem cigarettes".To be fair, we don't have them in my country.
    • 🟪 I don't pronounce lesson and sync in a way that fits the category.

    Funnily enough purple was the first I figured the group out. Then after a couple of guesses I switched tactics and tried easier ones.Still have no clue the fuck is blue supposed to be. It was a guess, from leftovers with one purple being unknown.

    It was may queen that threw me off. Never heard of such term.
