Every shortcut idea I have I feel like I get roadblocked and it becomes foolishly over complicated. Am I just not familiar enough with the app or are others just as frustrated?
Examples for context I’m not looking for someone to make them or solve the problem for me just genuinely curious if I’m just ignorant of all the functionality and am missing out.
— Examples: Loop on interval until x condition is met doesn’t seem to be possible because you can’t add intervals to the loop unless you use the wait function which only allows seconds as it’s input.
So if you wanted to build a medication reminder that loops every half hour until you scan an NFC code you could kind of get around it by making an automation to kill the looping shortcut with an nfc scan - but only if you want your reminder intervals to be a few minutes apart at most. Trying to force the wait command to go to say a half hour just ends up in the shortcut failing.
Intervals to loops seem pretty basic?
Another Example: If …
I want to be able to use it as an automation trigger when I connect to specific chargers around the house. For example running the good night scene if connected to my bedside charger after a certain hour.
You guys think they’ll add that?

This marks it as the second podcast and the first recording of the 2010s to be inducted.
The episode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XBjvIo-91ig
Just listened to today’s The Daily podcast about a Dennis Wayne Hope who has been in solitary confinement for 27 Years. It fucked me up. Hope said he lost a lot of his speech skills and his vocal cords atrophied from lack of human contact.
The UN defined solitary confinement of more than 15 days as torture. Texas has more than 500 inmates that have been in solitary for more than 10 years and 138 of them served for more than 20 years.
Did anyone else listen to it? What’s your take away and link act further reading.
Do you have any suggestions for underrated podcasts?
I’m struggling to find history podcasts that talk about different topics (and not 400 episodes on the same era) and that are interesting. My biggest problem with a lot of podcast is that they mainly mention the different events on an era with a bunch of dates and names but they don’t really go in depth of why things happened, how they were perceived, the different perspectives etc.
The best one I’ve found is by far Conflicted but it only releases 1 episode a month and I haven’t been as interested in the last few topics…
Do you have any recommendations?
I need recommendations for my graveyard shift tonight at work. I’m a HUGE true crime fan but I feel like I’ve exhausted most of the long form podcasts in the genre. Looking for one that will take my mind off of some stuff I have going on. I’m a huge music fan as well, so that’s always something I’d be interested in listening to as well.
Mainly just something to let me escape the Tuesday blues.
Open to any suggestions, hit me with your best podcasts and favorite specific episodes.
I love thriller / suspense books but 9 times out of 10 I’ll figure out the ‘twist’ quite early on and I just get bored with it. Any books that really surprised you? Thank you!
And like always, don’t forget to sort by new!
I’ll take all into consideration for the library. Thank you!
I’d like to have a good cry/emotional release of sorts. So what’s the most heart aching, axe-to-the-heart kind of book you’ve ever read.
The author can be from any genre: fiction; nonfiction, comics, poetry, etc
Edit: thanks for all the comments. I now have enough literature to explore to last me a life time!
Hi! I’m going to stop using my phone soon and am making a rule to only use a screen if I want to watch a tutorial or class on something or I really want to watch a movie. So no media consumption unless it’s actually good for me. I want to draw more during this time period more and create. So do you have any books you think I should read?
edit - thank you for everyone who upvoted and commented. it means a lot to me that so many people took time to respond ((:
Hey y’all, I’m going through a bit of a rough patch right now, and (even if it’s not true) feeling like im just a burden on everyone around me. It sounds really stupid, but I could really use a pick me up in a game right now. Are there any games that make you feel like a good person? Games where you can help people and make the in-game world a better place? I know it sounds dumb, but I just kinda want that positivity in my life, idk
Just like souls game,neir automata,rdr2, life is strange
Hello everyone, trying to find something fun for my lil bro, he really enjoys Mario 64, Mario Odyssey and BOTW,also played some Minecraft, but he gets very very frustrated whenever he dies.
I havent experimented with any puzzle or strategy games yet, dont know if he likes them,or if he can even understand them.
Do any good games come to mind where there isnt really much story and he can play around freely, sandbox style? He also doesnt care for objectives or combat much.
EDIT: Maybe some very very very simple puzzle games would be good 2, just to see if he likes the genre
EDIT 2: Something with lots of colours and music would also be good, he spends a lot of time watching baby music videos on Youtube.
EDIT 3: Thank you all very much for all the sugestions, will get him a PC soon!
EDIT 4: Like many other on the spectrum he enjoys a lot of repetition, sometimes in BOTW or Mario he will just get a game over as fast as possible for hours straight, games that scratch this itch in a …
Basically - I’ve played nearly every Metal Gear Solid game, and although they have some of the most ridiculous plots out there, they also feature hints of deep conversation and exposition about actual strategy, history and the political/human systems of war. I would love to play more games that present the topic of human conflict in a serious & mature manner, without unnecessary cinematic flare. FPS, strategy, genre doesn’t really matter. Platform or age doesn’t matter either, I’m down for anything. Thanks if you’ve got any suggestions
I have never played any of the Soulsborne games.
Things I like about them: I’m intrigued by the melancholy feel and the piece-it-together-yourself way of telling a lot of the story by item descriptions etc.
Things I feel neutral about: I have no idea if the difficulty would be too much for me, but I did beat Hollow Knight (only the normal ending, though), so I’m not totally averse to difficult games.
Things I dislike: From what I have seen from memes, video essays about game design, etc., a lot of the enemies in the games just look extremely off-putting to me. I can handle skeletons, but a writhing mass of them makes my skin crawl, as does anything with too many eyes in wrong places, or realistic bug features. I can handle gross if it’s cartoony (again, see Hollow Knight), but the soulsborne games are too realistic with their death, decay and corruption.
Please, no “it’s not that bad”, I know I wouldn’t be able to give the battles the …
Hello, I’ve been gaming my entire life, but I find it very difficult to find games I enjoy. Most of the games I enjoy seem to be catered to children, or hold your hand the entire game. It’s REALLY hard to find a game like this that doesn’t feel like I’m being talked down to. I’m a grown adult, I just like relaxing games instead of challenging. Anything with a health bar? Out the window. Anything particularly challenging? Nope.
I’ll give some examples of stuff that I’ve thoroughly enjoyed: Animal Crossing, Monster Prom, Island Saver, Yukos Island Express, Town of Salem, House flipper, Golf it, Power wash simulator, Sims Series, Under leaves, The Inner World only because it will walk you through parts of the puzzle if you want it to
I’m sure you get the point. I’m ok with playing children’s games I guess, but I like games that are similar to the above, that I can play for a long time and have a good replayability. I also …
