Elephanting elephant! I must have spent an hour finding a single matching word after 4. Gotta recalibrate my radar it seems.
At least my Worldle OTD was fine:
#Worldle #205 1/6 (100%)

Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming “Wow! What a Ride!" - Hunter S Thompson - RIP

you surely are thinking lateral... 
3rd word as slightly off track...

Not really - with that one known letter in the middle and all the "excluded letters", I'm down to triple vowel or "exotic consonant" words. And there aren't that many of them (that I can think of, anyway!)

No, really!
I just remembered we own an electric fan, so I'm now getting cool breezes every couple of seconds (and so is Herself in the next room).
That's better - there isn't a breath of wind out there, and it's hot and sticky.
For Wales, it's really hot - it's actually not raining and hasn't for days now

I guess A/C is too expensive and would not be used after the current conditions.
My sister-in-law lives in San Antonio, and they are running temps at 108 degrees Fahrenheit. I'm American and too lazy to look up the conversion. 
They haven't had rain since February. It's sort of OK, as I don't like her husband at all.
BTW I'm sure you have a lot of fans on this forum. I myself am one. 
A/C is Cool!

Although we have several fans, even big ones, we decided to flee the house and went biking in the woods near the town of Epe in the Netherlands.
We biked close to the edge of a military shooting range (didn't get hit luckily), and as always my thought was:
those military always seem to take the nicest spots for themselves.
Very nice woods and patches of purple heather, even spotted a fitch and a wild boar with piggies!
We also decided to try the famous "Ossenstal pannenkoek", but that proved a bit too heavy, it's a kind of pancake but deep-fried with bacon

 Every room has 1 or more ceiling fans, some have standing fans as well and we have ducted A/C - welcome to the tropics. We also go 3-4 months without rain and everything goes brown then mother nature dumps huge volumes of water and the trifids return.
I do hope the rain, when it comes, is you're usual drizzle and not the torrents we get.

Then I wouldn't wail about it.

Same over in the Netherlands.
I have a fan in the attic, but it hasn't been used for a few years.
Tried it a few weeks back, but it screeched so much I don't want to use it anymore.
27C inside the house now (keeping everything closed to keep the heat out).
28.5C yesterday afternoon

My house was built in 1989 before building codes went bat crap crazy with insane levels of sealing and insulation. One of my favorite appliances in the house is a "whole house attic fan." I'm in the SE US, so we run 32-35C most of August. But when September comes and Autumn cools things off, I open all the windows. I love the fresh air.

If you are having difficulty keeping cool may I strongly recommend cold showers/baths. They are magical. I am constantly surprised the authorities who's responsibility it is to advise the public re/ such matters never mention same.

Parts of the UK are currently officially in drought; we aren't yet, but showering just to cool down is kinda wasteful.
I could jump in the fish pool of the river at the bottom of the garden, but that's fed by Welsh springs and I'm not eager for frostbite ...

Ceiling fans in many rooms. A ceiling fan works well in the bedroom. (As does a basement office; never above 20C).

I created a device with a small circuitboard with a pluggable user interface, such that it can take several buttons, a pad matrix, or an encoder and a couple of buttons, like that. It has a 1.18" color screen, a USB in and a USB out. It also has an SD reader.
Inside the thing is a little MCU where the magic happens. Therein you can create firmware to intercept USB signals from a device, like a keyboard, mouse, gamepad, MIDI keyboard, or whatever and modify the signals into something else, like injecting macros.
The box could be cheaper to manufacture, but it's not terrible. This is my first endeavor into creating a fabbed PCB circuit board on my own (for paying gigs I have an electrical engineer I work with)
My prototype works so in theory the board will work but I won't know until I get it back from pcbway.
Anyway, I started circuits before I ever got into software, but I put it down for most of my life once I got into software. Now I'm full circle, but using them in tandem.
I will say this about actual physical development. It's deeply satisfying to create something you can hold in your hands.
To err is human. Fortune favors the monsters.
