Amazing Wheel Of Fortune Puzzle Solve With One Letter

HaricotVert says...

Caitlin is a smart and intuitive cookie.

Likely train of thought:

1. There are 2 common contractions that are 3 letters long with 2 letters after the apostrophe: I'll and I've.

2. I'm going to pick L on the hunch that the first word is "I'll" for an easy 2 letters and potentially more in the rest of the puzzle.

3. Only 1 L showed up, implying the first word is I've.

4. The single letter (third word) is "a" since "I've _ _ _ I" will never[citation needed] make sense. The second word must be a verb of some kind since the first is a contraction of "I have," and "I have the a..." doesn't fit, nor does "I have" plus any noun (like "I have cat a...") will also not make sense. So word #2 must be a 3-letter verb of some kind.

5. "I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts" doesn't fit. Haha.

Track Renewal Train

Permanently banned from the Metrorail for Taking Photos

oileanach says...

Well now I`m actually feeling terrorized. This is appalling and unfortunately not unique to Miami. I`ve been yelled at by employees in many transit agencies across North America (yes it happens in Canada too) for taking photos (I like trains!). It`s a cliché perhaps, but when our own governments and their employees restrict our freedoms under the guise of security, then the terrorists have succeeded in a remarkable transformation of our way of life, with relatively little effort. Fear has got to be the most powerful force there is. I am saddened.

A conversation with a Scientologist

schmawy says...

Trained trolls, huh?

>> ^bcglorf:
Yes.
That's not a joke even, I'll try and dig up the documentary that shows it.
One of Scientology's regular practices for all participants is pairing people up and getting them to go at each other...
...Incidentally they end up practicing this kind of back and forth attacking, baiting and antagonizing at great length and in large groups.
It's like training people to be a55holes.

Do they have a course that teaches that crazy Tom Cruise cackle?


Yes.

One of Scientology's regular practices for all participants is pairing people up and getting them to go at each other. Sometimes one person is supposed to do their best to not respond at all, while the other tries to do and say anything they can to get a response. They practice all manner of variations on the same idea and theme, calling it all a part of 'training'. Something about controlling your emotional responses. Incidentally they end up practicing this kind of back and forth attacking, baiting and antagonizing at great length and in large groups.

It's like training people to be a55holes.

California Ballot Measures (Politics Talk Post)

Crosswords says...

Maybe if Prop 3 weren't $980 million
Prop 7 seems somewhat reasonable, hard to tell if it's too demanding on utility companies.
Prop 12 another biggie, $900 million to loan to veterans for farms and homes. Veterans are expected to pay it back, but government could get stuck with the bill.
Prop 10, looks to be about $5 billion, again a noble cause but there's got to be a better way of supporting energy Alt/renewable fuels than giving people money to buy things. It just creates an artificial demand that'll dry up as soon as the money goes.
Prop 6 comes with a bunch of new gang-related laws, which weren't given in on the site I read.
1A... I like trains, but it's probably a boondoggle

My state didn't have any initiatives on the ballot, just one local.

Secret Seats on Airplanes

AeroMechanical says...

I like trains, there ought to be more of those. You can get a sleeping *room* with a couch, a recliner a private bathroom with shower for about $300 if you plan ahead (2 people).

Frankly, I'd take the train even if it takes 12 hours longer. I'll be asleep or lounging around naked with my girlfriend reading the paper or playing computer game.

oxdottir says...

Thank you! I break with videosift tradition though, and I tend to delete my messages when I've seen them, unless they contain something I still need to do. Otherwise, I either have a mess that's hard to navigate on my iphone, or I haphazzardly delete some for no good reason. SO I keep my profile page more bare than some.


In reply to this comment by calvados:
No comments? Then let me break the ground by saying I liked it when you said "everybody likes trains".

Lightning Fast Punches

jmzero says...

I find this entertaining - but I agree with rembar on the usefulness of this. It's like training for basketball by dragging a trampoline under the net and dunking. It looks cool and it's fun, but in terms of a real game all you'll develop is some bad habits.

Gun Porn.

Krupo says...

I'm going to hazzard a guess and assume the "killing" means "killing things" rather than "killing people". As in, "you killed that truck".

Otherwise, if there's actual killing, you're treading on the toes of the no-snuff policy. We've made exceptions for military vids that have redeeming value (signifiance, eye-opening to brutal realities of war...). Bombing things and people from a distance is another gray area.

Given the way this was filmed, though, it looks like training grounds (shooting at wrecked hulls of cars) where they're doing practice firings to work on their aim - although I could be wrong - what do I know anyway?
