      Really nice! Can you help me parse 5A? I figured it out from the Reddit part, but otherwise I'm lost.

        Sure thing! "No time for" is a cheeky way of saying "delete the T" (the scientific symbol for time). Then "drunk" is an anagram indicator (the letters are drunk/disorderly).
        Thanks for solving!

          Oh, I think that might be another one of your puzzles with a Reddit clue! This one is the "Reddit interview" one. I really liked that other one as well, though.
