Well, there's a 9 letter word in the clue, but can't make that fit the rest of the clue!

I'm beginning to regret reminding him - I've got nothing useful.

I was on this path:
Weight? To regain == definition
I ate = I ATE
dementedly = (anagram)
once the bar opened = ??
Right or Wrong, I couldn't figure a 9 letter word this direction. I left.

I don't remember the last time I saw one of these here. When it's hiding in plain sight, there has to be a little misdirection.
Weight? To regain it, I ate dementedly once the bar
^^ ^^ ^ ^^^ ^
opened (def)
INITIATED
I think @Rich-Leyshon had it but just didn't see the definition, so I'm inclined to give it to him, especially as I don't recall him setting one. Want to take it tomorrow, Rich?

I still don't get it... what about rest of the words/characters.
I understand it's combination of few letters as-is but how does one reach to it?
|
|
|
|
|
The rest of it (by my understanding) doesn't matter when the word appears as consecutive letters within the clue, so long as the definition is still at either end.

Okay - if that's the way CCC can be setup. This is new for me. Thanks!

In looking into it further, I learned that there should nonetheless have been an indicator that hinted at the word being embedded within the clue, which was therefore unfair.
|
|
|
|
|
Yes, that's what I had but didn't understand why!
I am losing track of days but isn't tomorrow Saturday?
Alas, Monday morning I have a hospital appointment so won't be able to (that and the fact that the prospect of doing my first one terrifies the hell out of me!)
|
|
|
|
|
Right, tomorrow's Saturday! I watched my first one, so ask if you can!
|
|
|
|
|
|
My bad, apparently. I thought you were referring to a colonoscopy.
|
|
|
|
|
Ah right, no. I have watched one though in the past!
This is the marginally prettier end - Maxillofacial.

Doesn't sound like any fun at all. Hope all goes well!

I had a something in my jaw 10 years ago and I had to "eat" liquids for 2,5 weeks and then baby food for almost 2 months before I could masticate properly again

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

So what was it? I was nowhere ...

Part regain it I ate dementedly opened (9) - would be a more traditional clue

I try to compose clues that are proper sentences.
|
|
|
|
|
Maybe
Weight? In part, to regain it...
|
|
|
|
|
Where does the weight bit figure ?

It doesn't, other than to compose something that makes sense.

Everything still pristine.
No registry/repository bloat.
Heckin' faster than the last one.
Still has that new car smell.
I love it.
My machine just came today. I don't like setting them up, mostly because installing Visual Studio is like waiting in the line at the DMV. The machine is not the fastest thing out there, but it's the fastest thing I've had by a considerable margin
AMD Ryzen 7 4750G
32GB RAM
512GB NVMe
3TB HDD (to be replaced with SSD eventually)
+2TB HDD (I just added last night. it's from my linux machine. i'm pulling files off my ext4 fs)
Currently onboard video (I'm not a gamer but i might buy a used vid card)
Windows 10 is my host OS. I almost went with Win7 or a hypervisor. In the end, I didn't want to deal with it. I have a separate machine if i want linux.
