Additionally, Automator scripts can be IMPORTED into Shortcuts
I haven’t seen anyone else mention this, but sorry if it’s old news.
I was just playing around with shortcuts, and it occrued to me to try typing shortcuts
in a terminal.
❯ shortcuts
OVERVIEW: Command-line utility for running shortcuts.
USAGE: shortcuts <subcommand>
OPTIONS:
-h, --help Show help information.
SUBCOMMANDS:
run Run a shortcut.
list List your shortcuts.
view View a shortcut in Shortcuts.
For me, this is going to be a huge help with having short cuts actually run ever x min for an automation, since I can now use cron to do it.
I’ve always wanted to take some of my home data out, and put it into a more long term storage and viewing format. This might actually enable that.
Discovered this pretty cool podcast only because it’s done by a guy who lives in my area and the local newspaper wrote about him. But wow, some of these topics. And they’re not all salacious. He has one with a guy who won big on Wheel of Fortune, and one with a woman who drove the Oscar Meyer Wienermobile lol. More info on the “What Was That Like” podcast here.
I want to regain my knowledge of history, and I realized today that I almost know nothing. Can anyone recommend me a podcast? I tried Hardcore History, but felt I wasn’t quite following
Supernova in the East VI just appeared in my player feed.
Feels good.
I’ve noticed that some podcasters frequently mention how they’re running out of time and need to speed through the end of the show or they worry that when they have a longer than usual episode people will tune out before the end and complain about the length.
Personally I’ve never cared about a podcast length since I enjoy all of the ones I listen to. Was curious how everyone else felt?
I just finished My Dad wrote a porno🤣🤣 the amount of accidents I almost got into laughing to this show is insane but I’m a sad that I finished it😭 can anyone recommend any comedy podcast?
Does anyone else not like when podcasts have music playing underneath the voices throughout the episode? I think it’s super cheesy.
Does anyone know of a way to use the Spotify equalizer to enhance the voices so that you can’t hear the music?
While I appreciate and value the narratives of people and of characters in their journey to move to the West for whatever reason, I want to read about the stories of the people who stay home.
I want to know about and read the stories (albeit fictional) of people from Zimbabwe or Nigeria or India or Vietnam who are set there. And of course, I would much prefer if they were written by the citizens of their own countries.
Please give me your best recommendations.
EDIT: Wow, I did not expect to have so many suggestions. Thank you so much to everyone who commented. I’ll make sure to go through each and every one.
I know that this movie is an adaptation from Diana Wynne Jones novel of the same name. However, the book and the movie are really different for me, both in what happens in the story, as well as the whole vibe and feel of it. So I’m looking for something closer to how whimsical and magical the movie feels. Bonus if there’s any characters similar to Howl.
My mom has cancer, I lost my job, I can’t get a date, and I’ve been on hold with insurance companies for far too long.
Please suggest me a laugh out loud book that will help me forget my troubles for a little while and help me love reading again. I stopped reading in March when my mom got diagnosed, but I need something to inspire me again.
I want to laugh at something silly, absurd, but not pointless. I have enjoyed David Sedaris, Fredrick Backman, Allie Brosh, and Jasper Fforde in the past if that helps you at all.
Thank you fellow book lovers!
Edit: Okay RIP my inbox. Seriously this post got so much more attention than I ever thought it would. Thank you so so much for all the love, support and suggestions- I’m pretty sure I have enough suggestions for a whole year and beyond! I am so grateful for all you wonderful book loving people that remind me there’s still good in the world and that things may just turn out all right.
Hi everyone! My 7 year old nephew is going to live with me for a month this summer while his dad is in rehab. This kid has been through a lot already in his short life, and he is remarkably well adjusted and happy despite all of it. My partner and I are currently prepping for his arrival, and I could use some help. He is a voracious, advanced reader with a love of both comedy and horror. I want to put together a mini library for him while he’s here, and am overwhelmed by possibilities. I would love your recommendations for kid and YA books that he might enjoy. I am open to any genres, including non fiction. He still likes to be read to, but also enjoys reading on his own, so story books and chapter books are both appropriate. This kid means the world to me, so I appreciate any assistance in giving him the best summer vacay ever!
EDIT: I am touched and overwhelmed by the response this post has gotten. I gave up responding because so many of you commented with recommendations I can’t …
