What can we do about this throwers?

We get a lot of “What’s your favorite podcast” but not a lot of favorite singular episode posts. I’m going to be commuting about an hour and a half for work for about 6 weeks. And I just want to compile a list of good episodes from random podcasts. Any genre. Could even be two parters.

Thank you!

I enjoy learning about history, but I’m looking for a jaw-dropping episode (or episodes) that will blow my mind in about an hour.

What are your specific episode recommendations?

Willing to consider multiparters but I prefer one smaller topic for one hour since that’s my commute.

Edit: I know most of the big podcasts! Looking for specific episodes if you can think of any.

Hey folks, hunting for some podcasts to listen to before bed. Just got into the Irish History Podcast, Empire and The Rest Is History, they’re good, but I want something a bit more laid back yet still intellectually engaging. Gave The Empty Bowl a try, but it wasn’t for me. Any recommendations would be great, thanks a bunch!

Looking for recommendations for podcasts that have suspense but not about violent crime. I like stuff that keeps you glued to it wanting to know how it turns out, preferably with one-off episodes and not long serious. Anyone have any thoughts?

I am desperate for a good true crime podcast that keeps my interest. I’ve started like ten and none of them are holding my attention. I need something that is captivating and unexpected. I want multiple episodes on the same story, long form I guess. But I don’t want the last five episodes to be episodes explaining the impact old the crime and repeating everything from the first episodes. I want shock, twists and turns. I also want unpredictable. I loved s-town, hunting war head, finding Cleo, the one about the fake pregnant woman who hired doulas. I’ve tried the scam ones and some are good but it’s become repetitive. I also like another one where they were hunting pedos. But I can’t remember any names.

Helllllppppppppp please

As announced at the end of today’s Omnibus episode (Laugh Tracks) released on Patreon and on John Roderick’s solo Patreon, Ken Jennings will be stepping down as permanent co-host of Omnibus.

Long story short, Ken is too busy in Hollywood with Jeopardy! that he can’t dedicate as much time to the podcast as he would like. John Roderick will carry on the show with a rotating line up of guests - some famous, some listeners, some friends - before deciding on a permanent co-host.

Ken’s last show will be recorded live on 8th November and release 11th November on Patreon (13th November for public). Ken hopes to have a continuing presence on the show, whether as a guest host or just a sounding board for John.

Personally, it’s one less Patreon subscription to worry about at the end of the year. I’ll switch to the public feed and see whether a topic appeals, but honestly, the Ken and John dynamic was the entire reason I enjoyed the show to the point of …

Hi! So for my high school elective credit, I picked something called modern novel. We read 1800 pages per quarter, but can only read one book that has been adapted into a movie.

I have already read my one book, A Good Girls Guide to Murder by Holly Jackson, and I have picked up 11/22/63 by Stephen King without realizing it was turned into a tv series in 2016

So I may or may not need a book rec that’s 800-1000 pages asap. Thanks!

EDIT: after some googling of some certain books, I feel quite stupid for not putting my age; I am 14. Like three of the book I’ve been interested in have a long thing of rape and self-harm, uh, and I’m unfortunately (or fortunately, I’ll read anything once), not allowed to get those books

I want to be hurt.

Please spill I wanna read smth really awesome. Also desperate. So desperate—I just want randomized recommendations cause my reading is very genre specific and I inevitably ask for recs from said specific genres. So gimme!!

For me it was 84, Charing Cross Road by the way :)

I’ve read Sedaris and Offerman. I’ve also laughed at Vonnegut and Moore. I’m looking for an enjoyable book that will make me laugh!

Looking for recommendations of sci-fi written by (cis or trans) women. Ideally something closer to the “hard sci-fi” end of the spectrum and more interstellar than near-future.

Books/Authors I’ve Enjoyed (Not all of these are women):

• Octavia Butler (I’ve read the Parable and Xenogenesis books)
• Kim Stanley Robinson
• Translation State
• Adrian Tschaikovsky
• Stephen Baxter’s Xeelee books

And before anyone gets worked up, I’m asking because my reading has skewed heavily male this year. ETA: And still the downvotes come pouring in. Is this what it’s like to be a woman on the internet?

What book made you feel detached from your reality? That made immersing yourself into the book so hard you forgot you were reading a book. For example, seven years of darkness made me feel this way. ( and Not midnight library please) any genre! Thank you so much!

Kind of like an uprising or something and they’re equipped with superior technology and you don’t have much

I keep dropping so many games because I inevitably get fatigued and overwhelmed at just how much there is, and more importantly, how much I could be missing if I don’t scour the map. Now don’t get me wrong, I do enjoy these games. I have thousands of hours between large, open world, non linear games. Right now though my mind is fatigued and tired and I need a killer game that is linear but still has a great story.

I’m not opposed to most things. I’ve very much enjoyed a lot of walking simulators like Fire Watch or the interactive games such as Detroit Become Human. I also enjoy games that have levels or missions to them like some of the COD games or Halo. Anyone got any recommendations?

Hi. I’m looking for a game that scratches this itch.

I can think of a few examples like this;

Skyrim (and the whole TES franchise), while everyone says its very shallow, allows you to marry, have a house, and pretty much… live inside it.

Minecraft obviously is prett good for that too.

Red Dead Redemption 2 is also very nice when it comes to that. Even though you don’t create your character you are not limited by its world. You can be a hunter, an explorer, a gunslinger and the mechanics really allow you to DEEPLY immerse into the game.

Kingdom Come Deliverance (didn’t play the second one yet) also manages that pretty well. Tho its a little bit too hard ocasionally, it really allows you to live inside the game.

Please, don’t suggest me Baldur’s Gate 3 or Divinity, these games are nice but not only they are tactics/turn-based, they don’t allow much freedom besides story choices and combat encounters.

Thanks in advance!

Not looking for shooters for puzzle games but something that makes you feel like a wizard incrementally learning knowledge and finding power in the world. Video games examples would be searching for the words of power in Skyrim or learning and unlocking the language in Chants of Sennaar. A perfect text based example is Theory of Magic which I have linked here for folks who want to check it out https://mathiashjelm.gitlab.io/arcanum/

Hello there. I live off of SSDB so I live literally paycheck to paycheck so I can’t easily buy the latest hyped game every time one comes out nor can I buy a game every time it goes on sale. So I’m looking for a game that, on a casual playthrough, I can spend hundreds of hours on. And when I mean “casual playthrough”, I mean actually just doing things as I see interest in them. Not trying to 100% the game or grind out the rare 10% drop chance from a boss. Anyone got recommendations for PC games I can sink my time into until I can reasonably afford the next time sink?

My mother in law (75) is in the last phase of dementia. She’s in a caretakers home but thinks she’s at home. Every hour she’s calling my father in law, (75) asking where he is.

We do not want to take her phone away, sense of self, but she calls and texts at night, thinking it’s day.

Have turned on parental control between 23:00-09.00 so she can’t call at night anymore.

But she’s confused why the phone isn’t working.

I’d like to send her a popupmessage every time she opens the phone between 11pm and 9am.

There will be a comforting message for her and should contain a “Yes I Understand” button and a “Call Nightnurse” button. We have a phonenumber she can call at night.

It’s a terrible disease, it’s been going on for years now. God bless the day she leaves this earth, she would never have wanted this.

Suggestions? Last …

This shortcut takes text or screenshots, pulls out the main claim, checks it against credible sources, and scores it on a 1–5 truth scale. It gives you a clear summary, an evidence list, and a rating with explanation. I save the ones I like in a Notes folder called SavedSiri/ChatGPT. I set it up this way because Apple’s intelligence + ChatGPT sometimes disappear if I swipe up, but the response in a box makes them less likely to get lost. Use this on Facebook articles, etc. I like to click the picture and see the description so it sees clearly the text. Everything on social media is a lie after using this.

I use my Ultra 2 a lot to record voice notes for myself, mainly if I’m rambling about an idea or project; I’ll usually then transcribe them using Minutes, or the voice note app and copy that to ChatGPT. As ChatGPT can’t send reminders to my iPhone, I’m trying out Claude. I want to make it easier so that I can just have a shortcut to record and once done, transcribe, copy to Claude to make sense of my rambling, then make a reminder for me to come back and decide what’s next.

Trying to figure out how to use my Ultra 2 along with the action button to do all of this, now I did try using Whipser Memos which will email me the transcript but when setting up the Automation it doesn’t seem to do it and I can’t set up the same “When I get an Email..” in the shortcuts only in Automation.

Would really appreciate some ideas or pointers

With the 26.1 beta adding Apple Intelligence support in Swedish I’ve been able to finally play around with it. One thing I wanted to try to create was a chatbot that can reply to messages I receive in the messages app. Mostly for fun.

One problem early on was context. Using the automation trigger for getting a message I could pass on the latest message to the AI model. But I also wanted it to ”remember” what was being said and follow along in the conversation.

In the end I found a way to make it happen using the clipboard. It will just keep adding the messages it’s sending and receiving and will use that for context but still only answering to the latest message.

For this to work you can’t copy anything else while it’s chatting away as that will replace the clipboard and what you copied will be added to the model when it’s deciding on what to reply. It’s just for fun anyway. I guess you could make it read from a file instead but that’s not what I did so…

Also. I’ve translated this …
