Is there something like a standing Zoom that I should link to?

If so, how do I get to the link?
We have a dedicated Zoom room, which you can access via the link that should show at the top right of the web page:

This is the link to follow for all Zooms - including the standing Tuesday evening 7:30 ET, Friday afternoon WSJ 4:30 ET and Sunday evening last call 8pm ET.

pshew! that’s a relief… thanks to a mid-meeting light-bulb moment for one, we all now can get back to spending time with our families! Submitted and waiting for the beam.

I did a whole lot more busy-work with this one than was necessary… though it’s impossible to know when you’re searching, which bit of busy-work is going to be productive! Glad that’s over…

What Wendy said about the Zoom meeting.

There are some Week 4 or 5s when, after a helpful nudge or two, I say, "Well, I never would have gotten that" and don't feel so bad. And there are some when I scream at myself, "It was right there staring you in the face." This was one of those.

A SAD one indeed. There are 13 solvers on the leaderboard right now (pre-zoom). I predict that will at least double with the next update. Thank you @AaronT and everyone else on the zoom.

Shout out to @AaronT for being a true 58A on this one.

That was fun. I can say that, for a certain reason, I’d not likely have ever BEAMED UP without that Zoom call.

I didn't get it on the zoom call, just not as quick on the uptake as others. However, with a little thinking about what was discussed during the call, it came to me. Glad to have that one out of the way.

I was screaming after getting it around 1:30 am or so last night. Ginger Cat was not amused.

Some weeks, it takes a village. And I'm lucky to be here with such great villagers. Thanks, zoomers!

Joined the zoom late so I missed most of the discussion, but got a bit of a nudge to spend another hour wrestling this Matt to the mat. SAD indeed, much of what I needed I had already seen, but blew aimlessly past it all… my meta-brain is on holiday too!

On board after a nudge. Step 2 is SAD indeed.

Same with me. I didn’t get it on the call, only a few minutes later. At my age, the synapses don’t fire as quickly as they once did. 🙂

Got it thanks to a nudge from the Discord thread. Concur that SAD is the right descriptor.
