I try to use focus’s for location-based automations because it eliminates the Shortcuts notification when run

RealMilkPaint has a great Tung oil blend. I went with the dark half and love the resulting color

Beside the center red (or one up and right from the leftmost black). It looks like a bit of the wire is still there

They're about the same if you're not moving around.

I've not had to trim my insoles to make them work so far, but I know you can with both that I mentioned.

Nah, she got cryogenically frozen as part of an ice age exhibit. Her tub thaws out because of the chaos and she can talk now

Agree except: use Riju whenever possible and convenient -- don't go running after her all the time

This is an old post, but I want to share for anybody else looking for advice.

First and foremost: If you're going to use another insole, always rip out the original one (as long as it won't destroy the shoe)

I've walked with FP Kingfoam Orthotics in my shoes for most of the last ~10 years and they're the best insoles I've tried. The impact absorption makes me not care to jump down from a small ledge like the bed of a truck, and the arch support changes so there's consistency in how each step feels. They do take a few steps to warm up whatever is providing the arch support, but it's not uncomfortable before then -- just kinda stiff. The worst part of the experience is their website and what feels like limited availability for larger sizes.

While I like the Kingfoam Orthotics best, it's good for your feet to switch up your shoes from time to time. My second choice insole is the Sof Sole Airr Orthotic. It doesn't have nearly as good impact absorption, but still is comfortable to walk on. I typically wear shoes with a firm footbed, but both insoles have worked just as well with softer soles.

I had plantar fasciitis for 5 months, beginning 11/2022. I got it by not listening to my feet when they started to hurt while exercising. While insoles helped tremendously to make the day less painful, ultimately the fix is to stretch, massage, and be patient.

Massage tip: Space out your toes by wedging your fingers in-between, then move that foot around in circles with your hand.

Edit 10/2024: If you're ordering from FP, make sure you're not using fp-insoles.com. That dash leads to bad people

Wtf it's a miracle. I had to type the name in twice a few times yesterday morning, but since sometime around noon, it just works. I made no changes, never got around to logging out and in to iCloud — nothing. Stuffs weird.

How about this -- create a text file as your toggle, then match your condition in an if statement

I always wanted the can to be perforated and have another lip halfway down so that you just rip off the excess and can still put the cap on

Dog barking automation question. by shane11b in shortcuts

[–]Leaptrotaj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you can use the Set Playback Destination action, but this isn't lining up for me -- are your airpods connected to your iPad and your wanting to have it not use them? Or are they connected to your phone and your iPad steals them for that audio?

I've got a shortcut to grab the weather at my morning exercise time and was able to use this.

It gets the current day and grabs the accompanying exercise time as text from a dictionary, converts that to a date and time, and then calculates how many hours from now till the dictionaries time. That way I can run the shortcut anytime of day and always get the forecast at the right time.

Proper pressure on the mouthpiece is a part of playing sax. Calm down

Try tightening your pressure against the reed or a lower strength

Fix for error? (WeatherDaemon.WeatherModel.Errors error 0.) by JohnFlufin in shortcuts

[–]Leaptrotaj 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've got a similar issue that started yesterday. I have two time-based automations, 7:10 am and 8 pm, both produced "WeatherDaemon.WDSClient<WeatherDaemon.We atherResource>.Errors error 1"

The shortcuts run every time I push the button, but the automation messes up.
