Hi :) New here and wondering if anyone can assist with the following shortcut build. I am trying to take the information from this webpage (https://www.citypower.co.za/customers/Pages/Load_Shedding_Downloads.aspx) and feed it into a Chat GPT prompt in order to return the periods which I will experience an outage within the next 24 hours based on the Block (area) that I live in. managing to create the prompt and get a result from GPT but seems like it’s always giving me incorrect periods. No idea what I am doing wrong. See current config attached:

I like to get lost on journeys, discover fascinatingly boring or bustling places where I have absolutely nothing to do.
geochase takes you exactly there while keeping you busy on the way. It is a real world orienting or scavenger hunt game, “Schnitzeljagd” as we say here (Schnitzel meaning paper scraps, not pork). It is probably more fun in dense, convoluted European and Asian cityscapes anyway.
What geochase does:
It picks a totally random target location within definable limits (area, radius) or from your custom waypoints file.
Your job is to reach the target location, using only the Compass app (or an actual compass) and the given directions.
To spice things up a bit, the given hints can be restricted in detail, spacial distance, time interval. So you may zig-zag through your neighbourhood, following precise distance and bearing information, or you may find yourself at Kathmandu airport when your weekly hint gets unlocked: “You are closer.” …
At first I thought it was a privacy toggle that needed to be enabled, since my home key was working with the wallet automation, but I think this just confirmed that Apple Pay was just bugged since the first beta it appeared in.
My purchase automatically saved the file as a text after using Apple Pay! Now we can finally create shortcuts based on these or import them to financing apps.
Hi all! I burn through podcasts at an alarming pace and need some recommendations for something new to listen to next.
I used to be very into true crime (I loved Serial, Someone Knows Something, Something Was Wrong, etc.), but lately find I’m not always in the mood for grizzly violence.
I’m looking for recommendations of similar deep dives into a single case/subject, without all the death. Something like You’re Wrong About, but preferably an entire season about the same topic.
I’m interested in all sorts of topics including arts & culture, history, politics, etc., and can get into podcasts on subjects that wouldn’t normally call to me if they’re well-executed - for example right now I’m listening to Wilder, which is a modern look at Little House on the Prairie.
Would love to hear your recommendations!
Okay, admittedly I listen to 99% non-fiction podcasts, but Jesus Christ is this one good! I just listened to the first 3 episodes of season 2 (all that’s out yet) and I am vibrating with anticipation to find out what comes next! If you haven’t listened, I can’t recommend it highly enough, and if you have, I would love to hear your thoughts on what we’ve heard so far and theories on whats to come, as I’m going nuts with no one to discuss this with in person
Edit: summary (as per mod suggestion): Without spoiling anything I’d say its a high production-value post-apocolyptic thriller that takes place off the coast of LA in the wake of a massive earthquake. Its a full cast of voice actors, and the story is told through a series of flashbacks as the main character is interrogated on a navy ship some time following the quake, while the aftermath is still unfolding.
Any topic or genre.
My contribution: The Intellivisionaires podcast, which is about the Intellivision gaming console of the 90s, where episodes are frequently over 5 hours.
I like long podcasts because I find them ideal to fall asleep to. But your suggestion absolutely does not have to be relaxing or sleep-inducing. Thanks in advance!

I’ve tried Google podcasts, audacy and podcast addict (which looks like sticher covered with annoying ads)
Any other podcast players I should try out as I slowly mourn what I’ve been using for like ten years?
Big fan of the tile format and the ability to add to queue (last and next options) and mark as played very easily
TIA!
I’m a breastfeeding mother to a newborn and have been having trouble staying awake during overnight feeds. I’m hoping to find a podcast that keeps my attention but doesn’t sign me up for bad dreams. In the past I’ve enjoyed true crime/investigative podcasts but I worry that genre may give me nightmares. Rather, I’d like some sort of storytelling podcast where it’s easy to pick up where you left off and not have to finish in one setting. That way I can put in ear buds, do my thing, then be done. I’ve tried a few audio film type things and may be into the right one but I am not interested in science fiction. If I can learn something not to complex that would be cool too. Thoughts?
The last one I saw was two years ago, at least. Remember to sort by new to ensure everyone’s comments get replies.
I would absolutely love to read a book where when I’m done, I’ll have to just sit and look into a wall for a while, because what the fuck just happened?
In Cold Blood and The Big Short come to mind (also documentaries like Making a Murderer and Searching for Sugarman). Preferably historical, but others are also welcome. Basically something that’s written in a format that feels like storytelling, with heroes and villains and plot twists and climax endings. But all factual. I love stories about events in history and modern life that just stays in the mind for a long time.
Edit: Thank you so much for all your suggestions! I googled them all and I’m blown away by how many great books y’all have mentioned here. I may not be able to respond to everyone but rest assured I’m about to be broke from all these purchases :D
I’ve been trying to hit the 52 book challenge this year for the second time. I didn’t make it last year. Most likely won’t this year which is perfectly fine because it gives me a goal, but I am now 22 books (10 behind) in this year with no 5 star reads. My top 3 books all time are:
1.) A Thousand Splendid Suns- Khaled Hoesseini
2.) The Fall- Albert Camus
3.) Eleanor Oliphant is Completely fine- Gail Honeyman
This year my top three were
1.) A Mothers Reckoning: Living in the Aftermath of Tragedy- Sue Klebold ( The mother of one of the columbine shooters discussed mental health, and the tragedy before, during, and after. All proceeds go to charity. Personally think she is a really strong woman)
2.) American Kingpin: The Epic Hunt for the Criminal Mastermind Behind the Silk Road- Nick Bilton (Essentially the crazy story of a kid who went and defined what internet can do. Well worth the read.)
3.) The Queens Gambit- Walter Tevis- almost exactly like the show.
This years dnf list : …
In the last 3 months, I’ve read:
The Brothers Karamazov. (Took up most of the aforementioned 3 months lol)
Slaughterhouse five.
East of Eden.
I loved them all and want to keep chewing through the classics.
SHOW ME WHAT YOU GOT.
It’s been a long time since I’ve read anything and I have no clue which book will help me restart my reading habit. Since Studio Ghibli movies are pretty peaceful and captivating, if someone has come across a book, fiction of course, can you please jot it down?
I’m aware that the recent Ghibli movie is adapted from Genzaburo Yoshino’s novel titled the same, but although I enjoy philosophical content in fiction, I’d like something that more of an easy start.
Edit : Thank you all for the lovely recommendations. I really hope they get me out of my rut. ❤️🥰
I’m looking for those ACTUALLY hidden gems out there. No Hades, no Cult of the Lamb. Indies can be quite popular, but I’m looking for small small games that you really love but nobody seems to know.
Here are a few examples of mine:
To the Core - Came out recently. It’s a rogue-lite, mining spaceship incremental game. Weird description, I know. But that’d give you an idea.
IS Defense - Is a great On-rails shooter with upgradable mechanics. Pretty cool for a nice price
MU Cartographer - I always recommend this weird game. It’s such a bizarre radar puzzle game, you adjust knobs, levers and stuff to use your radar to find points of interest following the story.
Proteus - I don’t know if I’d call this a game, more of an exploration engine. But my kids really liked it when they were 5-6 years old. It’s pretty cute and a nice way to get kids into gaming by just walking around.
So what are yours?
Edit: Well. This blew up. I’m …
Im searching for games that seem normal at first, but then after while feature plottwists or some horrible stuff that is going on behind your back like what happened to sephiroth in ff7. If possible are there some games like this where you fight against a calamity like sephiroth, zanza etc.?
I’ll start this post by saying I’d like to get more games on the switch, but I have a laptop too so anything on pc will do as well.
I always want to get into indie games more because I see so many of the same triple a releases every year and they don’t have the charm of something like Little Nightmares or A Plague Tale.
BUT
I don’t want to Google indie games only to be met with the same typical recommendations like Celeste, Hades and Stardew Valley. I’ve heard of all the big ones already and if I haven’t played them yet, I probably won’t. Games such as;
The Binding of Isaac Disco Elysium Hollow Knight Valheim (I absolutely hated this one) Dead Cells Limbo Inside
I’ve heard of these a million times each, so what are your favourite indie games that don’t appear on the first 5 generic lists from Google?
Also, I feel like this sort of goes against the point of indie games a bit, but I prefer 3d games like The Pathless over …
Please, recommend me something to play. I haven’t played many games so I probably don’t know the most popular ones. I played Detroit: Become Human, Last of Us, Life is Strange and Undertale.
We as in me and a close friend. I tried to bring up Divinity 2 to him before, and basically he told he was bored out of his mind. And I didn’t have fun basically trying to drag him through the game. He’s less into the story and more of a fast-paced gameplay kind of guy.
My friend now is suddenly super interested in Baldur’s gate and wants me to buy it with him. And I’m super not down to drop $60 on a game I know we’re gonna play for all of an hour and never come back to. But he’s completely bought into the hype. Is Baldur’s Gate really different from Divinity 2, or is it very similar in gameplay?
