When placing the 6th letter to set a double 6 letter cross (with one word using three 2x tiles), I claimed part of letters on one of the words for a double cross using the X tile to take the points while it was there with a difficult tile. The very next set of tiles had the letter I needed for the double cross I had originally set up (but ruined) and I didn't use it (only getting the single word with three 2x tiles) figuring that the letter was very common and I'd see another one after I set up the cross word again. I set up the cross again, but I never got the common connecting letter again.

  12. Epilepsy can be incredibly debilitating. Uncontrolled seizure activity means you cannot legally drive. Aside from physical effects (getting hurt during a seizure), uncontrolled seizures wreak havoc with cognitive abilities (memory, speech, brain fog). These issues tend to drive severe depression on their own, but on top of that, most epilepsy medications exacerbate depression too. So epilepsy alone can be disabling (and the cognitive impairments do qualify as a disability). https://www.ssa.gov/disability/professionals/bluebook/11.00-Neurological-Adult.htm The individual mentioned in the OP said that he hasn't been able to take meds for his hypothyroidism for several months and he has some sort of physical problem with his arms as a result. I'm not terribly familiar with this issue, and I've described what he said with as much detail as he related, so I'm not sure exactly what that means.

Nearly had the whole board filled with letters while waiting for the final letter to make the cross. This time I chose... wisely.
  14. I mentioned the DFPS to him and he backpedaled a bit. Either he exaggerated his original claims or is scared of losing what little support his father provides. Either way, I did what I could to direct him to possible help. Thanks 0x & troph.
  15. I'm not sure if this person lives in Texas or not. I assume there are similar services in other States?
  16. An acquaintance I do not know personally has related the following: - 32 years old with seizure condition and hypothyroidism - lives with father (mother is out of the picture) - can not drive; lives in small town with no Uber/taxi/etc. - depends upon father for any transportation - has not left the house since July (father refuses to take him anywhere) - claims to be suffering mental (and possibly physical) abuse from father - he applied for section 8 housing and was denied My question for Surly peeps - do you know of any support/help services that might be helpful for someone in his position?
  17. @BurntOrange&White& @NOOBSDUDElook pretty close to me - off by 3 points total.
  18. The whole world saw the results of "effective altruism" with Sam Bankman-Fried
  19. I forget where I read it, but I read that the lion's share of M$ investment in OpenAI was not in the form of cash - it was cloud computing services (provided for free).
  20. Now that M$ has brought Altman et al in house, are they going to continue funding OpenAI (in competition with their in [new?] in house efforts)?
