For the last 33 years, I’ve worked on the ground, doing manual labor, for large corporations. This has taken a physical toll on a body that was born with physical issues.
Prior to being a Workflow/Shortcuts user, the closest thing to automation/scripting that I’d done is make some pretty in-depth spreadsheets. For the last 5 years, though, I’ve been using Shortcuts to create daily reports for work. Manually, these would take more than 24 hours a day. I do them in 10-20 minutes. I’ve created other weekly reports that would also take more than 24 hours to create manually. With Shortcuts, it takes about 5 minutes.
No one has tried to create these types of things in my company because of the complexity and time investment. Without Shortcuts, I wouldn’t have imagined these projects in the first place.
These reports have had a huge impact on manager productivity, financial results and my visibility within the company.
Today, because of those results and visibility, I was offered and …
So I basically watch cameras for a living and listen to podcasts while doing it, horror is my fav but most podcasts only have 20-50 minute podcast episodes which mean I gotta change it way too often which my boss may not like lol. Does anyone know a good horror podcsts with episodes ranging 2-3.5 or more hours?
Edit: Wow Thank you to all who commented, first time posting and I’m a relatively new listener to podcasts lol. Sorry for not replying to every comment but I assure you I’ll be taking all your advices. Now my break is almost over so I’ll get started on some of yours haha 💙
Hey guys, so I really want to like Behind the Bastards but I just can’t get on with the commentary and the guests. The tone just irritates me but I still like the concept of the show.
Anyone know of any similar podcasts with a more serious tone?
I can’t stand getting so invested into a crime story and it ending up being unsolved or just a mysterious ending. Do any true crime podcasts focus mainly on cases that have been solved?
I’ve been using Pocket Casts for years because I really like the app, but not sure what the best place to get recommendations or similar podcasts suggested is? Should I switch to Spotify because of this and the metrics it gives you at the end of the year? Any app with more of a community feel?
I want to listen to a podcast that showcases much older crimes. For instance Casefile’s episode on the Batavia incident.
Edit: Thank you for the suggestions made, :)
Will definitely look into them.
I have a long drive tomorrow and I need some podcasts to listen to. Tried noiser, thought it was terrible. I need something with more detail and slower paced. Any recommendations?
As the title says, I am looking to read books based on fantasy genre like Harry Potter, but targeted a little towards adult - I’ve been suggested Dune.
Truth be told this year has not been going so well. I have been builled and harassed in my school by people who pretend to be my friends and lied to my face all the time. Of course I distant myself from them after a while because I realize they didn’t respect me. But I have been alone constantly. So I have been looking for books to fill up the whole I feel. Like fanstay or mystery. But now I realize I want something that make me happy . So please recommend me a funny book or series or a rom com .
Preferably told from her perspective, thank you!
I’m looking for engaging non-fiction books on any particular topic, really. A book that puts forward any one idea in an innovative and unconventional way would be appreciated. It can be anything from science, economics, politics, self improvement, philosophy, anthropology, society, but something basic and targeted towards laypeople, as I’m looking to find my niche when it comes to topics I enjoy talking about with other people.
​
Books I’ve enjoyed: Atomic Habits, Moonwalking with Einstein, A Brief History of Time, Where Good Ideas Come From, The Power of Habit, Sapiens, The Sixth Extinction.
​
Any non-fiction you’ve read that you feel has “changed your worldview”, as cliched as that sounds, feel free to suggest! Thanks in advance!
Edit: Wow! now I’ve got a list of books long enough to last me longer than a lifetime! Thank you to everyone who suggested!
I love thrillers, but I find myself let down by the endings a lot. I want something that is a page turner… and has a satisfying ending! Thanks!
The satanic panic was a time in the 1980s when Americans were convinced that satanic groups were all around and abusing children and sacrificing babies, especially in daycares. The stories that came out of this time were batshit insane and a lot of lived were ruined.
I think this was a really interesting era of US history but have only come across a few books which have discussed the topic. I would love some recommendations of either fiction or non-fiction books which discuss the satanic panic (or similar conspiracies of the 80s). They don’t have to be explicitly about the satanic panic as the main focus, but at least have it play an impactful role in the book. Thank you!
I only look for games on Steam, but I wonder what I’ve been missing out on like Starsector, Escape from Tarkov, Vintage Story etc. I feel like itch.io must have a lot of games I’ve never heard of.
Any genre is fine, but no subscriptions like how some MMOs have.
Preferably standalone (doesn’t require a client to run like Steam/Epic etc.) If it’s a timed Epic exclusive, I’ll just wait for it to come on Steam. I’m familiar with Blizzard games.
Preferably something that isn’t in alpha or too early access. Early access is fine, but I don’t want to invest time into something that is very unpolished or too bare bones at the moment.
Thanks!
I’ve tried Diablo and Torchlight, and had a look at Grim Dawn, but none of them seem to have much depth to the actual combat (there’s depth to how you build your character and prepare for combat, which is fine, but I want to use more moment-to-moment skill).
I’d like a game with skilful combat like Hades, but set in a more open world with quests etc (I don’t need the roguelike element of Hades, just the part where you have to be aware of everything on the screen and time your dodging, movement and attacks carefully).
I did try Bastion but it wasn’t really for me, I didn’t find the combat to be all that and the world / level design didn’t really work for me.
Now I hope I can describe what I’m looking for well:
I’m looking for a game that gives you situations you’ll have to deal with that can lead to you telling stories to friends about. Nothing that the developers themselves made a grand story for (or part of the main narrative) but something that leads to the player telling others about what happened to them specifically.
A good example for something similar would be how some people tell stories of how they dealt with a situation in Dungeons and Dragons that the DM didn’t expect. Or getting out of a perilous situation with seemingly no equipment.
Something that got close to that exact experience I’m looking for is something that can happen in Outward where you have to escape being an enslaved miner only to find yourself without your equipment again.
​
I hope this explanation of what I’m looking for is enough, if not I’d love to elaborate if there’s any questions since what …
By “scientific” I mean either building things via scientific/logical principles, or simply having factoids about real life phenomenon. It can be any topic as long as it teaches me something. I prefer something that has replay value so I can sink tons of hours into it.
I absolutely loved The Outer Wilds and I think my favourite thing about it was the slow discovery of a long dead alien race. Discovering weird machines and mysteries just really grip me. Other games I’ve played that kinda match are…
I’m sure I’m missing some but these really stayed with me. I’m not too bothered with the genre but obviously this story heavy theme seems to lend itself to puzzle solving or semi-open world but that’s not necessary to me.
So any suggestions?
