Happy Groundhog Day Plus Quiz

by http://www.elcivics.com  & Wikipedia

February 2 is Groundhog Day. Groundhogs are small brown furry animals. They live in burrows in the ground, and they eat grass, berries, and other vegetation. Groundhog Day is based on folklore. The folklore is that if the groundhog comes out of its hole and sees its shadow then there will be six more weeks of winter weather. But if the groundhog comes out of its hole and doesn’t see its shadow, then there will be an early spring

The Groundhog Day ceremony is held at Punxsutawney in western Pennsylvania, centering around a semi-mythical groundhog named Punxsutawney Phil, has become the most attended.  Grundsow Lodges in Pennsylvania Dutch Country in the southeastern part of the state celebrate them as well. Other cities in the United States and Canada have also adopted the event.

Knives Out 3 Will Be “Completely Different” From the First Two Films

As we gear up for the premiere of the second Knives Out movie, Glass Onion, in December 2022, news has started to come out about a third Knives Out, featuring Daniel Craig’s Benoit Blanc once more.

© Netflix

Knives Out 3 could dive into Benoit Blanc’s sexuality.

In press for Glass Onion, Johnson teased that the third film would dive into Blanc’s queerness, saying he’s “sure it’ll come into play” because it’s a big part of his character.

“If you watch the movie, I think it’s made explicit. In terms of exploring it, I mean, maybe, but with these movies, I mean, they’re not really about the detective’s sexuality. [But] it’s baked into the genre a little bit [when] the detective is kind of set outside the realm of the human drama that’s going on with the rest of the suspects, so I’m sure it’ll come into play because it’s a big part of who he is, obviously. It’s just a fact about his character.”

There will likely be an entirely new cast.

Just as the cast and mystery (with the exception of Daniel Craig’s Blanc) completely changed in Glass Onion, the third Knives Out will almost definitely feature an entirely new cast and no continuous mystery.

There’s no title or premiere date yet.

Changing Guitar Strings

You can tell when strings need changing by how they sound and look. Old strings sound lifeless, and will be discolored over the frets.

What You Need:

  • Wire cutters
  • Guitar tuner
  • New strings

How to Do It:

  1. Loosen the old strings by detuning them
  2. Use the wire cutters to clip the strings in the middle
  3. Remove the old strings from the bridge and tuners
  4. If you’re going to clean and polish the guitar, do it now
    • Use a polish made for guitars so you don’t ruin your finish
    • If you have an unfinished fingerboard (rosewood, ebony), every couple of months put a few drops of lemon or olive oil (actual oil, not furniture polish) on a rag and rub down the fingerboard wood
  5. Take a standard #2 pencil and rub the tip over the saddle and nut slots to lubricate the string break points; if your guitar has string retainers, do the same on the underside of the retainer, as well
  6. Install the new strings, 1 at a time:
    1. Push the string through the tailpiece or string channel and over the appropriate saddle
    2. Insert the string through the appropriate tuning peg, and pull it relatively tight; if you’re using locking tuners, pull it as tight as you can, otherwise, leave a little bit of slack

      Note: Even with locking tuners, you’re going to get a bit of slippage, especially on the thinner strings; I’ve found I need to leave a little extra on string 1, enough to wrap a couple times, to prevent the string slipping out altogether (your mileage may vary, depending on the tuners you have).
    3. Tighten the string by turning the tuning peg key; the direction depends on which side of the headstock the tuner is installed on–if on the left side, turn it away from the bridge, and on the right, towards the bridge (you want the string to be as straight a line as possible from nut slot to tuner)
    4. On non-locking tuners, bend the extra bit of string so it points straight up after emerging from the tuning peg; as you wind, you want the loops to trap this part of the string in place; see the diagram for specifics
    5. Tune it to the proper pitch; especially on the thinner strings, be careful not to over-tighten and break the string
  7. Tune each string to the proper pitch
    • Thickest string is 6, thinnest is 1
    • From 6 to 1, standard tuning for each string should be E, A, D, G, B, E
  8. As you install each string and tune it, go back to the previously installed ones and retune them
  9. Once all of the new strings are on, stretch each by pulling it up and over, towards the middle of the fingerboard, at various points along the string–again, be careful not to break it; do this, then retune, then repeat until each string stays in tune
  10. Use the wire cutters to clip the excess string

Massive ‘Yellowstone’ Season 5 Will Be Split Into Two Parts

Kelly Reilly’s back on TV tossing her bangs and slinging curse words, and that’s a sure a sign as any that Yellowstone has returned to rule the Nielsen ratings. As of Nov. 13, the hugely popular Montana-set drama by Taylor Sheridan has returned for its massive fifth season, which comprises two parts and 14 episodes total. But the show’s orthodox deals with Paramount Network and Peacock make tuning in without a cable subscription a bit tricky; to catch up with all the drama in the Dutton family, here’s what you need to know.

© Paramount Network

What time do Yellowstone episodes come out?

New episodes of Yellowstone drop simultaneously on the Paramount Network app (not to be confused with Paramount+) and website at the same time the show airs on Paramount Network, at 8 p.m. EST on Sunday nights.

While previous seasons of Yellowstone are currently streaming on Peacock, season 5 won’t be available on the NBC streamer until after the entire season has run its course. If you want to watch Yellowstone season 5 as it airs, you’ll need to have a cable package that allows you access to Paramount Network, or you’ll want to purchase a live TV streaming service such as Philo, Fubo TV, Hulu + Live TV, or YouTube TV. You can also pre-purchase the entirety of season 5 on Amazon Prime for $39.99, allowing you to stream each episode as it drops on Sundays.

How many episodes are in Yellowstone Season 5?

Season 5 will be split into two seven-episode parts, for a total of 14 episodes.

When does the next episode of Yellowstone Season 5 come out?

  • Episode 1, “One Hundred Years is Nothing,” streaming as of Nov. 13
  • Episode 2, “The Sting of Wisdom,” streaming as of Nov. 13
  • Episode 3, streaming Nov. 20
  • Episode 4, streaming Nov. 27
  • Episode 5, streaming Dec. 4
  • Episode 6, streaming Dec. 11
  • Episode 7, streaming Dec. 18

Air dates for episodes 8-14 are yet to be released, but will likely run in early 2023.

The Best Wordle Start Words to Help You Solve the Daily Puzzle 

These strategic words will get you to those green squares in no time.

Perhaps you’ve heard of the game Wordle? It’s pretty hard to miss these days.

The strategic word game has positively swept the internet in recent weeks. Some are comparing it to baking sourdough as the craze of choice for a new phase of the pandemic. The New York Times liked it enough to cover its backstory at length (spoiler: its creator, a software engineer, made it as a love offering for his partner) …and then buy the game for a sum in the “low seven figures.”

Wordle start words matter (a lot) to serious players determined to flaunt their skills: Even if you’ve never actually played the game, you’re probably pretty familiar with the grid of yellow and green squares its users can display on social media to show just how quickly they solved the puzzle. You get six tries tops — but devoted fans love to show off their skills when they complete the game in just two or three. (And yes, it’s probably this high-profile score flaunting that has won the game some notoriety among people who choose to be in the anti-Wordle camp.)

Another unique feature of Wordle: Players only get one puzzle a day. (There’s no official option to binge on endless archives — at least for now.) And that means you’re going to want to make sure each play really counts.

What word should I start with in Wordle?

Sure, you could just choose any five-letter start word that strikes your fancy. But did you know that you can also choose strategic Wordle start words that can get you to those green squares even faster (because… math)? Consider these options to improve your next game.

The goal of Wordle is to guess the 5-letter word in 6 tries (or fewer).

Best Wordle start words

If you’ve ever watched Wheel of Fortune, you know that it only makes sense to start out by guessing letters that occur most commonly in the English language.

Google’s director of research Peter Norvig analyzed all the available data from Google Books to generate a list of most commonly used letters in English. His report concluded that the most commonly used letters are E, T, and A. Here’s the top 10 in order:

  1. E
  2. T
  3. A
  4. O
  5. I
  6. N
  7. S
  8. R
  9. H
  10. L

    Best Wordle starting word mathematically

    So it stands to reason, then, that you’d want to choose a Wordle start word that includes as many of the most common letters as possible, without repeating any.

    TikTok user crvlwanek used his computer science know-how (and, evidently, abundant free time) to generate an algorithm that spit out the best Wordle start words based on all past answers to the puzzle so far. These words are:

    1. LATER
    2. ALTER
    3. ALERT

      For more variations on Wordle start word options, consider others that use five of the most commonly used letters without repeating — such as RESIN or NOTES.

      One strategy is to choose a Wordle start word that includes as many of the most common letters as possible.

      How to win Wordle

      Because every word must have a vowel, it’s also a smart strategy to kick off your daily play using a World start word packed with vowels — ideally three or more if possible.

      Consider these examples of vowel-packed options:

      1. ADIEU
      2. ABOUT
      3. AISLE
      4. OCEAN
      5. AROSE

        Or, if you find it boring to use any version of the same starting word every time — or simply don’t see the point in ruining a perfectly fun pastime with overwrought strategy — just do you instead. Start with whatever word makes you happy… after all, Wordle’s just a game! (And, of course, there’s always sourdough.)

        A list of some 2022 Super Bowl commercials

        Ahead of Super Bowl 56, which kicks off at 6:30 p.m. Sunday, advertisers have been releasing a steady torrent of 2022 Super Bowl commercials. While the tone of the ads varies widely, the prevailing trends so far include ’90s nostalgia, celebrity-heavy cameos, and an emphasis on humor over more serious fare.

        “Marketers are recognizing Americans have had a very heavy, difficult two-year period and are responding by bringing some good old-fashioned entertainment for Super Bowl Sunday,” Kimberly Whitler, marketing professor at the University of Virginia, told the Associated Press.

        NBC sold out of its ad space briskly and said an undisclosed number of 30-second spots went for $7 million, a jump from the $6.5 million that last year’s ads went for.

        Another trend to keep an eye out for? Crypto ads.

        Advocates of the blockchain-based digital currency — which has captured the interest of investors and financial service firms alike — want to lure regular Americans too. Exchanges Crypto.com, FTX, and eToro have all announced Super Bowl ad plans, and others have been rumored but not confirmed.

        Here are some of the 2022 Super Bowl commercials and teasers released so far.

        Amazon’s 2022 Super Bowl commercial shows real-life spouses Colin Jost and Scarlett Johansson living in a world where Amazon’s digital assistant Alexa can read your mind.

        Conan O’Brien’s longtime sidekick Andy Richter embodies a tailgating Julius Caesar in this Super Bowl ad for Avocados from Mexico.

        Weed innuendos abound as Snoop Dogg and Martha Stewart star in the 2022 Super Bowl commercial for BIC EZ Reach lighter.

        Bud Light enlisted the mayor of Flavortown himself, Guy Fieri, to promote its new hard soda.

        (There are more, many, many more to come during the game and into the night. Let’s hope the game is better than the ads. Nothing says super more than crypto, weed and Alexa! Oh fyi, it’s the Rams vs the Bengals. Don’t eat too much.)

        All Your Burning Questions About Super Bowl LVI in 2022, Answered

        As football fans are starting to get excited for Super Bowl LVI, many key questions are beginning to emerge. Who is the strongest team, the Rams or Bengals? Which player will dominate the game? Which commercial will garner the most likes?

        Last year, NFL superfans got to see the Tampa Bay Buccaneers play the Kansas City Chiefs in Tampa Bay, Florida at the Raymond James Stadium. The Buccaneers’ iconic win was Tom Brady’s first Super Bowl with the team after spending 20 seasons with the Patriots (in New England, he won six Super Bowl titles and four Super Bowl MVPs). The Chiefs’ loss came as a shock to fans following the team’s 2020 win — and with powerhouse players like Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce and Tyrann Mathieu, the loss was especially hard to accept. That’s all in the past as new competitors step up to play.

        What day is the Super Bowl in 2022?

        The 56th NFL Super Bowl will take place on February 13, 2022, in Inglewood, California at SoFi Stadium, starting at 6:30 ET/3:30 PT.

        Super Bowl LVI will be the upcoming championship game of the National Football League for the 2021 NFL season. It will be played between the National Football Conference champion Los Angeles Rams and the American Football Conference champion Cincinnati Bengals. 

        How to watch Super Bowl LVI:

        The 2022 Super Bowl will air live on NBC. If you are interested in watching the Super Bowl but don’t have cable, the game can be streamed live on Peacock or via NBC through subscriptions with Fubo Tv, Hulu + Live TV and Sling. If you miss the Super Bowl on Sunday night, the game can still be streamed on Peacock after February 13th.

        Who’s performing at the 2022 Super Bowl halftime show?

        The Super Bowl halftime show is arguably the biggest performance of the year. Pop-culture icons such as Michael Jackson, Prince and Beyoncé have all made memorable performances over the years. This year, Mary J. Blige, Eminem and California legends Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre and Kendrick Lamar will turn the field into their stage. The 2022 halftime show will be the first time this roster of hip-hop artists have performed together on stage. It’s sure to be a huge night for the hip-hop genre. Per Pepsi, the group has collectively acquired 43 Grammys and 19 No. 1 Billboard albums.

        Bring on the Drinks

        Football wouldn’t be a great American sport without a great American beverage. Before the party, snag a local beer from the cities of the teams competing or pick up one of our favorite cheap beer brands for your shindig. If they’re not into beer, pick a signature cocktail for each team based on their city, mascot or team colors. Mix up a pitcher of each drink ahead of time with a little splash of food coloring to match each team’s jerseys.
