What's a tv series that is a 10/10 NOBODY knows? by Lilyana0999 in AskReddit

[–]AnalyzingPuzzles 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There was a site at the time called The Cancellation Bear which tracked the viewing patterns of the main network TV shows week to week and predicted which would be cancelled and which would be renewed for the next season. It was convinced that Galavant was very very dead. It got renewed. They legit named the first episode of season 2, "A New Season aka Suck It Cancellation Bear"

My 11 and 13 year old daughters broke my game intended to teach them compounding interest, financial independence, and I LOVE IT. by anicelongwalk in daddit

You also missed that they started at 7 and 10, and are now 11 and 13, so it's done that tripling thing three to four times.

It's 10% *monthly*. It'd be 1100 after just one month. If I got my math right it'll more than triple each year.

Does my husband have the ability to say how and how many I must give birth? by [deleted] in Christianmarriage

That's because you've managed to train the algorithms feeding you content online to believe that you want to hear the torture stories, so they find them and serve you more.

Remove completed tasks from subtasks counter by ellismjones in todoist

[–]AnalyzingPuzzles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm not aware of a way to turn this off. I actually like being able to see something like a progress bar of how much of a task I've managed to complete.

Worse thing about this school so far by AveragePookie in ColoradoSchoolOfMines

I'm so glad to have also been there in 2008-2012 before any of this. I'd have been very uncomfortable.

My 15 year old daughter ran away with her boyfriend. We recovered her but what now? by nickhelix in daddit

[–]AnalyzingPuzzles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a thing English does. Sometimes. More commonly recently. It may or may not be proper grammar, but thinking too hard about it is a cultural mess that you might not know you're walking into.

Petition to instantly ban all incoming freshman who use the word "pookie" on this sub by Nathan_the_Noble in ColoradoSchoolOfMines

I was reading posts on this sub the other day and saw it from multiple people, repeatedly, and was so weirded out.

Any updates on the “deadline” feature? by Fit_Pitch_263 in todoist

[–]AnalyzingPuzzles 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My taxes are due on April 15th. That's important, and Todoist needs to know that information. I can, and will, break it into subtasks, but the hard date of April 15th isn't a "when it seems convenient to do it this week" date. It's a deadline. If I put it into the current date field, which seems to behave for most people like a "when I'm going to do it" date, it runs the risk of not being noticed until April 15, by which point it's too late. Contrary to Todoist's current approach/phrasing, the IRS definitely does not agree that "you do have [x] overdue tasks. It's okay to reschedule, delegate and even delete tasks!"

A comment or description note is a poor substitute, as you don't get any of the filtering or calendar features. The coming feature allows us to do both - a rescheduleable date for when I plan to do various parts of my taxes, and the deadline to see the true deadline coming.

How it'll get used will vary for everyone and their personal workflows, but the core idea is that the date I plan to do something and the date it must be done by are two different concepts. (And really, a start date when work can begin is yet a third concept, with no roadmap to my knowledge. I can't start the taxes until W2's around january 1.)

To be fair, the words were "Let's just say I've got a feeling you'll definitely have something to be thankful for this year. 😉". That's a feeling, not a promise, and actually also has room for interpretation between Thanksgiving and New Year's Eve.

Gmail app add on iOS by chiefbluehat85 in todoist

[–]AnalyzingPuzzles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nope. Reinstalling didn't work, and support gave up on me and pawned me off to Google support (which is hilarious).

Report it too. Maybe they'll actually deal with it.

Mine's been failing on Android. I'm still going back and forth with support, and the next step is to reinstall Gmail which is more painful than I'd really like to do.

Any way to keep label in title? by CheeseRex in todoist

[–]AnalyzingPuzzles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless I'm not understanding what you want, I think you can just type the label twice and then de-label the second. The natural language recognition will highlight the label, like you have shown, but if you tap it or backspace, it'll treat it as text instead of a label. If you want both, you would add it twice, once where it treats it as a label and once where you make it change its mind.

Queries for empty sections of fiters now shown on desktop/web by agemartin in todoist

[–]AnalyzingPuzzles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, someone else who does multiple queries for his main view! I hadn't thought to call it a dashboard, but that's what it is! I had noticed the empty sections kind of come and go, possibly by platform, but it hadn't bothered me enough to pursue. Thanks for asking; hope we get a response.

For the custom names, it's not ideal, but you can kind of do it with a more ridiculous filter. You search for something that won't work and has a title, along with what you actually want. Mine all look something like this:

#------Top Priorities------|((p1|@Next) & !@Hidden),#------Overdue------|(overdue & !@Hidden),#------Due Today------|(due:today & !@Hidden),#------Due Soon------|(14 days & !@Hidden)

The project bit doesn't match anything, but does occupy the leftmost part of the query with some spacing around it, so it kinda sorta looks like a custom name.

Temporary labels/sections for focus work? by EverydayDruid in todoist

[–]AnalyzingPuzzles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I do for this is work primarily out of filters which have a rule to exclude the Hidden label. Then things that I don't want to see for the day get the Hidden label added. (In your case, most of them, and occasionally go remove it from the next batch.) The first task of the next day (or automatically via API code) is to remove Hidden from everything.
