Ever thought how hard it might be to code with cataracts?
I don't think I'd be able to, at all. That's scary ...

How come these are so easy for you?
I failed. But geographically so close!

I don't guess until I have fully scanned the globe for a possible match. I use Google Maps in Terrain mode to minimize clutter and better see the the borders. Also, like the last one, the clue did not have the actual border line but its the actual geometry. The border crossed over some water which was not part of the clue. Tricky but by spending my time looking for a match I reduce the guesses.

Looking at a map! I strongly doubt you are supposed to do that...
I never do. I see it as a game of knowledge/memory. I mean, that method would be like looking at word-lists for Wordle.

Sorry, I didn't see any rules against it. Am I banished?
I learn much more about world geometry my way.

If it is competition without maps then I can do that too. I just don't learn as much.

Well... I have not seen any "rules". But I feel it does seem to go against the spirit of the game. Just imagine looking at a huge 5-letter-dictionary while playing Wordle!

ok I will try the guessing route from time to time as competition and post those, but I still enjoy looking at maps much better than a dictionary of words and I always finish without a break.
I do enjoy the challenge of wordle.

And you can learn even more if you read about the countries after your guesses!

True. And I do.
As a kid, I did crossword puzzles of the individual continents and the whole world, multiple times.
I guess it's just a habit.
I love maps.
Your home country has a complicated map.

Hmm ... didn't know they had changed the country name. Dunno why they did that ...

I use the oven to toast my bread. No dedicated toaster.
Now, I heard that Americans eat all their bread toasted; so a toaster might be viable over there. Though I don't understand why one would toast all bread, we only do that if it gets stale or we want a treat.

True but the toaster toasts in a few minutes and I assume consumes less energy than running the oven?

I don't run the oven just to get toasted bread, no. The bread is on the rack above the whatever is being cooked.
Still, if I put all the stale bread in there, nothing else - made breadcrumbs of half of it, it would be rather efficient.
Having solar panels and cooking electric means no having to really look at the energy cost. I use my oven to dehydrate fruit from my garden (strawberries, lowest heat setting and open door), to dry my salt-cured egg yolks, to dry (leftover) herbs, and sometimes to toast bread.
I cannot imagine life without an oven, but many Americans do just fine without. That baffles me.

Yes that makes sense, especially if you have solar.
