TIL (via wordlebot) that the database contains some words which aren't possible solutions. My 5 yellows guess was one of those, because I was just spamming permutations of the letters. Not sure why I didn't see the solution before that.

Maybe need a little ivermectin for that. in c/[email protected]

Interesting. AFAICT the "power premium" price is just over half what we pay for regular unleaded here in Austria.

Is the implication here that those prices are high?

Weird. Maybe the mole catcher went international!

This is for sure a pic from the UK, though โ€” almost definitely in Yorkshire.

Thanks for the explanation. Ironically this was the bit I didn't know:

In modern times, USB keyboards are periodically actively polled instead.

I was thinking the implication was that some computer had faulty interrupt handling that would smash the status register or something.

Honestly I think I'm just too old to understand memes.
