It’s called “Water Breathing”.

Lemme know if I should do a tutorial.

Hope this helps. Keep throwing

Certainly took me a few tries to land the whole thing.

Bit of back story but this trick might have been part of the reason I quit throwing for a few years. Recently I got back into it and after improving my skills quite a bit (beef hooks, 1.5 hook, Brent stole gt, etc) I revisited this trick.

Honestly, even though I am a much better thrower than the first time around, this trick still seemed impossible. This time, though, I was determined. After hundreds and hundreds of tries, I finally landed it and got to a point where I can do it with a decent success rate.

It looked so elegant but easy when I first saw it. Would have never guessed it would take that much effort to learn but here we are. What is a trick you’re struggling with that looked easy when you first saw it?

Besides chopsticks my favorite element is boingy-boing stuff. I thought it would be interesting to take my favorite bouncy elements and put them all together.

In honor of the series finale of Within the Wires next week, what is that podcast that you love, but you just can’t describe to other people in a way that begins to do justice to how awesome it is?

Earlier this week, I asked about podcasts with low commercial content in this post.

I got over 50 recommendations and before I could add responses to the OP the post was locked for some reason. Mods did not say, but there were several deleted replies for “self promotion” so please: No Self Promotions! I have read the submission rules for r/podcasts and I don’t believe I am breaking any rules.

Also, I do not begrudge a creator making money, but there are far less unobtrusive ways than server ads specifically engineered to be a loud as possible: Donations/Patreon asks, and self read ads to name just two. I just don’t want to be woken up in the middle of the night every 15 minutes, and I will stop listening to your podcast if it does that.

Here is the list please add and other podcasts you may think of!

Categories are based on the user comments and may be incorrect or may change due to the podcaster’s actions. Notes after the dash are based on comments …

I am a long time podcast listener and my favorite shows are not keeping my podcast thirst quenched since I tend to listen to all the new episodes within 48 hours of their release (which is usually the same day of the week). I have reviewed the recommendations on this subreddit, and some are great. You all told me about Heavyweight and that is fantastic. However, I don’t tend to like some of the more common recommendations like The Last Podcast on the Left (the loud joker guy ruins it for me) and true crime stuff. If you could be so kind to give me recommendations based on my preferences listed below, I would be forever grateful! I have pulsatile tinnitus and podcasts help keep me sane so I really appreciate any help!

Preferences: • 2-3 hosts, more is okay as long as they’re not annoying. Solo hosts tend to not be my thing • Genres: commentary/pop culture, history, paranormal/scary/investigative journalism, science, aviation (I am a plane spotter not a pilot), and politics (I’m a …

I’ve been exploring the space between bedtime podcasts and short stories — stuff that doesn’t just “tell you” to relax, but actually builds a soft world you can emotionally rest in.

Like… imagine a story where someone walks through a library of things they’ve never said out loud, or a harbour where people send paper boats with unsent letters.

Does anyone else enjoy this type of emotional, story based sleep content? Would love recs, or just to know I’m not alone in loving this format.

Hello! I am looking for podcast recommendations for any of the following topics:

Sociological Trends

Psychology

History

Science

Deep music Analysis

Basically informational/educational. With only one host please. I have noticed that pretty much every podcast I have tried with more than one host or interview style either has them getting off topic and joking/talking about their personal lives or one person who is there only to contribute humor (like Sawbones).

I love long form video essays, especially Tom Nicholas, Lindsay Ellis, Mr. Beat, Gutsick Gibbon, Mera, Tiffany Ferguson, Shanspeare, Intelexual Media. I am looking for these vibes in podcast form.

I use Apple Podcasts if that helps at all.

Thank you for any suggestions!

Need a good podcast to listen too!!

What are your underrated gems, the “trust me, just read it” picks, the ones you keep pushing on friends who never listen?

I just turned 30 a few days ago. My husband just told me he may want a divorce because he feels trapped and is now going on a soul searching months long vacay at the end of December. I have completely lost who I am in this marriage too and at the same want him to come back (no need for advice my therapist has me covered there and I know I’m delulu but also hopeful)

ANYWAY. Can you suggest any books to help me find my way back to myself. Books that changed how you see yourself. Books that remind you of your feminine power. Books that bring hope. Books that remind me that being 30 is perfectly fine.

Literally any book rec is appreciated. Fiction memoir non fiction self help whatevesssss. My life is falling apart and I miss reading.

I have read a loved recently (last year): Cloud Cukoo Land, When Breathe Becomes Air, How to Hold A Cockroach, The Overstory, Brief Flashing of A Phenomenal World, I Who Have Never Known Men

I used to be (STILL AM!) pretty spiritual not religious. so books …

Especially books where you can feel that they were going to go that way.

This might sound odd but I find comfort in hearing from people who understand that level of mental anguish. I am safe, been safe, but the thoughts never really go away. I’m getting myself an ereader for Christmas and I just want that odd comfort of “Others have felt the same”.

Thank you for your understanding ❤️

Edit: WOW! Thank you so much everyone! So many wonderful books, so far I can’t wait to try all these different genres. My library card will be very busy (this will be my first time ‘borrowing’ virtual books so hopefully I will be able to easily find some of these titles)!

I am looking for a book where the prose is the star of the show. I love to markup my books in appreciation of the writing, so I don’t mind it being a little complicated.

When I think of truly beautiful prose where I sometimes find the plot forgettable (in a good way, because I am so enthralled by the writing!) I think Murakami, Tartt, and Marquez (with excellent translations).

No sci-fi, fantasy, or historical fiction.

ETA: starting with “Jesus’ Son” by Denis Johnson and then “The Sot-Weed Factor” by John Barth. But I have a verified library of options moving forward!!

I want a game that is like crack but a game, one that I can put thousands of hours into and never put down. I played factorio as some recommended it to me but it’s alright ig don’t think it’s really for me tbh. RuneScape was very good but I can’t really get membership so that’s a no too, im looking for something of any category tbh, mmorpg, shooter survival etc. just something that is stupidly addictive

Give me a game that requires me to think. Not only to think but also think hardly, deeply, and painfully. Something that requires me to use my mind in its fullest capacity. Something that requires logic, reason, and etc. The “dark souls” of logic and thinking games

Preferably strategy games

Had a fun time diving into the world the Gladiator movies presented and I’m a big time strategy game nerd, figured I’d see if there was a blend of the two out there! Anyone recs? Doesn’t have to be a strategy game tbh but it’s just the genre I vibe with the most recently this is what i came up with. Hopefully they have a bigger impact than Denzel did in that movie tho

Edit: Thank you for the recs! Going to give Gladiatoru: Sacramentum and We Who Are About to Die a look!

Not sure how to describe this, I am just excited to see your suggestions and experiences with the games you suggest.

I am referring to games that expand your knowledge of things in the real world by simply playing them. They can be abstract, or as literal as you want and as subjective as you want them to be. For example, I have thousands of hours in Dota, but it has taught me things from easing some of my emotions to working with strangers, not always in the most efficient way haha.

So here are some examples of some games I’ve played that have expanded my horizons a tiny bit:

• Pentiment - 16th history, art, religion with a lot of similar and familiar patterns of what is going on in the current world
• Disco Elysium - Abstract thinking, philosophy
• Outer Wilds - A little bit of astrophysics
• Soma - Existential horror :D
• Assassin’s Creed 2 - Made me have to visit Florence

I wrote it myself so it’s a little reductive but the idea is that more often than not would be thieves have a tendency to immediately set a stolen device into airplane mode to try and make the device untraceable.

I made a little automation that triggers as an automation in that case. Obviously you would pick a person of your choosing or whatever works best for you where I’ve blacked out the name.

Hey everyone! I put together a fun little CarPlay automation that gives you a full spaceship status update every time you connect to CarPlay. Totally unnecessary and useless but my kids enjoyimg it, wife not so much. 😄

Trigger: Connect to Carplay (run immediately) The rest is on the picture.

Hello everyone,

A few months ago I launched Shortcuty. I’ve talked about it here before but if you don’t know Shortcuty is a native app where you can browse shortcuts created by the community and share your own. Shortcuty can also function as a database for your shortcuts. It includes its own shortcut actions for things like storing and retrieving files and variables. There are also actions for browsing Shortcuty directly inside of shortcuts, and retrieving info about any shortcut from Shortcuty.

Since my last post we have fully launched the website version of Shortcuty at https://browse.shortcuty.app so you can browse and post shortcuts on desktop now

We’ve also recently implemented AI security scanning on all shortcuts posted on Shortcuty. Our scanner decompiles shortcuts to review them in depth and make sure it matches the description that the creator uses. This isn’t a guarantee of safety but it is better than no review at all

There’s multiple more things that have been added …

I decided, rather than posting a variety of sharing links, I would build a web site to showcase my work and provide some help for newcomers to the Shortcuts world. I have started with a couple of dozen shortcuts split into categories: Boating, Conversions, Medical, Productivity and Personal (with a separate listing of those that also run on an Apple Watch).

I decided to focus on quality (usefulness) rather than quantity and all are free to download and use (and no ads on the web pages).

Some feature activities that are available already but I have added functionality (for example: my BMI calculator accepts Imperial as well as Metric measurements; my Add Copyright to Image extracts the year to format a complaint copyright notice).

Feedback and suggestions for the existing and suggested additional Shortcuts will be welcome.

The site can be viewed here.

A few years back I had a simple automation when I connect to a specific bluetooth device (my car infotainment in this case), iOS shortcut would be triggered-making an announcement in the car just like the one in the flight.

Now I have made some small changes and sharing it with the world
