3 under. Nice this morning. Continuing a one and done streak, but I do also love full cryptics, especially the Saturday jumbo in a paper that I wish wasn’t the paper it was in.
Recently I found that that papers method of naming the crossword link might be freely accessible :
You essentially need the base link
feeds.thetimes.co.uk/puzzles/crossword/
Then the date in year/month/day format
Then the identifier (which is linear to the date)
Then crossword- date-identifier.pdfe.g. for today- crossword/20240926/55560/crossword-20240926-55560.pdf
Should get you to the quick cryptic.
There are three or four different crosswords per day, and so you might need a bit of trial and error to select the best one.

What was the answer? Gave it a quick look and didn't get very far, can't remember what the clue was now anyway and doesn't seem to be a way to look at old ones?

Segments follows response to comedy.
my thinking:
take the hint
well you laugh after comedy/jokes etc so it's got to be something after laugh.segments : pie charts, pie, bits.
bit
the words ends in bit/bits.laughbits
laubits
oh
ha bitsha

OK makes sense, kind of - can't see where in the clue is the element that is a synonym for the answer, may be being stupid! Thanks, though :)

Full clue was ‘Segments follows response to comedy routine’, with routine as the definition

Aha! Now it all falls into place :D

Piece of Cake (mild spoiler)
I spent a couple of seconds trying to come up with a five letter synonym for 'story' from which I could remove a T and insert an R. Yeah, I was overthinking it. -

Damn I forgot yesterday and lost my streak, think I was nearly at -50
Wait how is everyone pronouncing Minute? I went to tell a friend about it IRL and didn’t know what to say. I think I say my-newt in my head.
