Another day, another Wordle to solve. It's Sunday but not a lazy one for your humble narrator. I'm on another adventure, heading south from the Isle Of Skye on my longest drive of my Scottish trip so far. Scotland isn't a huge country, but its roads are narrow and winding and you get nowhere fast.
In any case, we have a Wordle to solve. Let's solve it!
The Hint: Deception for monetary gain.
The Clue: This Wordle has far more consonants than vowels.

I chose TRAIN because, I suppose, I've got traveling on my brain. Though I haven't taken any trains this trip. Lucky guess! With just six words remaining and three boxes—two in yellow, one in green—I made a wild swing with DRIFT. So close! Swing and a miss. Still, now that I had four green boxes I knew the answer had to be GRIFT, and it was. Huzzah!

The word "grift" likely originated in early 20th-century American slang, possibly as a blend of "graft" (meaning corruption or dishonest gain) and "grasp" or "drift." It refers to petty swindling or a con. Its exact origin is uncertain, but it first appeared in print around the 1910s, associated with criminal underworld slang in the U.S. More recently, the term 'grifter' is frequently used as an online insult against people with whom someone disagrees.

2015 GOTY Getting Surprise DLC 11 Years After Launch
Although the critically lauded RPG has been out for 10 years, it seems CD Projekt Red isn't done making content for the popular game. According to a new report from Polish podcasters Rock and Boris, The Witcher 3 is getting DLC that will release sometime next year. Not much else is known about the small project, but it will be developed by Fool's Theory, the studio founded by former CD Projekt Red quest designer Jakub Rokosz. This is also the studio working on the upcoming The Witcher 1 remake. 'Let's move on to our main topic,' reads a translation of the video (H/T MP1st). 'From the information we have collected, it turns out that the announced, mysterious project by CD Projekt Red, made by Fool's Theory, is a story DLC for The Witcher 3. This is confirmed information from several independent sources.' 'What we know is that this is a DLC for The Witcher 3,' the video continues. 'Based on one piece of information, I can't confirm it any further, but the earliest it could be is in the future year. We also more or less know the order of the releases: first, mods for consoles, then the DLC for The Witcher 3, then The Witcher 4, and finally, the remake of The Witcher 1.' CD Projekt Red and Fool's Theory have not yet confirmed the existence of an upcoming The Witcher 3 DLC, so take this all with a grain of salt for now. Considering many are speculating that this new DLC will take place between the events of The Witcher 3 and The Witcher 4, we'll probably learn more as we inch closer to the fourth entry's release. The post 2015 GOTY Getting Surprise DLC 11 Years After Launch – Report appeared first on PlayStation LifeStyle.

A Mumsnet user said she and her best friend hit a road bump on their trip planning in regard to a fairly common expense 'When I asked about getting there she said she'd drive but asked for some gas money,' the woman explained Now, she's wondering if she's wrong for feeling annoyedMoney talk is fueling a disagreement between best friends. A woman turned to the community forum Mumsnet to share that she's feeling 'irked' after her best friend, whom she's known 'for over half of our lives,' requested they split the cost of gas for their upcoming girls' trip. 'We're going away for the night a couple of hours away,' she wrote. 'We both decided on the venue and both are paying equally for the stay.' 'When I asked about getting there, she said she'd drive but asked for some gas money,' she continued, adding that the request annoyed her. 'She's going there anyway, and we're best friends, I wouldn't charge her if it were me. And no, I can't drive there myself because my husband needs our car.' The woman then admitted that she's 'not the best with money' and that her husband has always 'scoffed' at this particular friendship. 'Of course I'll still pay,' the woman clarified, before asking other Mumsnet users, 'Am I being unreasonable to feel this way?'

A third Mumsnet user agreed, writing, 'Your friend now has the additional stress of driving, the least you can do is give some gas money.' Another chimed in, saying, "You should definitely pay half of the petrol, and buy the coffee if you stop halfway! "Your friend is not only paying for the petrol, but also doing the driving, taking the wear on her car, and risking her car being damaged/accident/breakdown etc. during the journey. You either take it in turns or you pay your way," the commenter concluded. Read the original article on People
