First word is the same verb as starts Catullus 85.

People being crucified? Anyway gotta go now, will try again later :)

@tonylarch.bsky.socialOct 12, 2026, 7:00 PM

Emperors being emperors. Especially Caligula.

@tonylarch.bsky.socialOct 12, 2026, 6:58 PM

Emperors!

@tonylarch.bsky.socialOct 12, 2026, 6:51 PM

OK context: something an emperor might be fond of saying.

@tonylarch.bsky.socialOct 12, 2026, 6:50 PM

Both active.

@tonylarch.bsky.socialOct 12, 2026, 6:50 PM

I'm still struggling with that one :) Can you tell me which person the subjunctive is?

@tonylarch.bsky.socialOct 12, 2026, 6:42 PM

Both are third person plural present subjunctive. The middle word is a temporal conjunction.

@tonylarch.bsky.socialOct 12, 2026, 6:34 PM

The two long words are both present subjunctive.

@tonylarch.bsky.socialOct 12, 2026, 6:23 PM

It's in Latin, and a good example of how concise you can be with subjunctives.

@tonylarch.bsky.socialOct 12, 2026, 6:05 PM

Of course it can be very concise as well. Famous quotation below (not sure of the original author you probably know 😂)

Or Cicero whose sentences sometimes go on for several pages 😂

@tonylarch.bsky.socialOct 12, 2026, 3:28 PM

I probably should impose a character limit yes. There isn't officially one for URLs but about 2000 characters seems to be a sensible maximum according to AI searches.

Nice bodge! I just hope the heat from that exhaust manifold isn't too much for the zip ties.

@tonylarch.bsky.socialOct 12, 2026, 9:22 AM

The title and author (and who set the puzzle) would be nice but I think I'd need to start using a server to store things. It's too much to squeeze into the long URL. If I did use a server we could also have leaderboards and streaks and things.

Well I made it confusing :) Always the difficulty with this kind of software. If only everyone had stuck with UNIX all along.

@tonylarch.bsky.socialOct 12, 2026, 8:52 AM

you will get the time in there as well. That seems more logical.

@tonylarch.bsky.socialOct 12, 2026, 8:52 AM

Now you mention it I see that is a bit confusing. As soon as you've done it the time (and the link to the puzzle) goes into the clipboard. But if you then hit SHARE it replaces the contents of the clipboard with just the link but no time 🤦. I guess I could make it so that if you've solved it...

@tonylarch.bsky.socialOct 12, 2026, 8:15 AM

Thanks will watch!
