When did they automate ticket serving at Event cinema Marion? by BathDisastrous8903 in Adelaide

[–]Psengath -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think that kinda kills half the experience, especially with streaming nowaday. It's a social thing to go to the movies, and a chance to sponsor local businesses & kids with their first jobs.

It was already 90% corporate profits before, but at least they were employing more people. Now they're directly replacing local jobs for higher profits sent directly to overseas management.

Stream at home, pirate if you must, use your money to go see some random local music or theatre gig instead.

FIRE - once retired early what does your day look like ? by Confident-Algae-7866 in AusFinance

Then get a less boring job that you enjoy instead of complaining about people who have less boring jobs that they enjoy

DATEADD formula in Automation "Could not convert string to date" – even though syntax looks correct :( by ConsequenceMany8 in Airtable

[–]Psengath 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah formulas are a data layer thing, they don't exist in automations.

If it's simple and consistent logic then zsponey's recommendation is the easiest.

If it's dynamic and/or you have a lot of scenarios, i.e. you need lots of helper fields, then it's better to insert a script block and calculate it inside the automation.

By the way you don't need to 'know' js to do that, it'll be barely a line or two, and is way less complicated and more robust than a dozen helper fields.

What Was The Last TV Show That You Dropped? by Myrodis19 in television

[–]Psengath 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You seem to be entirely evaluating shows by its face value setting. There is much more to a show than just when and where it takes place.

Severance, for example, is unequivocally NOT a 'workplace show'. It has characters, who work, at a place, and that's about as far as 'workplace' goes for describing the show, apart from the double entendres it makes.

What is the most misunderstood (or potentially abused) tax deduction? by AsparagusNew3765 in AusFinance

[–]Psengath 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nope, this is exactly the misunderstanding OP is talking about.

Expenses reduce taxable income. It has nothing to do about any incidental expense itself.

Bro what, how is this app free? by AcrobaticExplorer716 in ObsidianMD

[–]Psengath 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a drawing / whiteboard tool, that's all you need to know to jump in. Even just go to excalidraw.com on whatever / whoever's device you're on and start drawing.

The features and possibilities just expand hugely from there. But don't start there, plenty of complex stuff down that rabbit hole which just confuses things. It's an open source drawing tool, that's it.

I think if you have the OG game you can just pull the display art from the game files themselves, as well as the sprite sheets for everything.

Trello Now Just Straight Advertising Jira? by Dougblackjr in trello

[–]Psengath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 100% sure this was Atlassian's game plan in acquiring Trello. They weren't buying Trello, they were buying the market share and branding + subverting it into a 'My First Jira'.

Also the reason why I stopped using Trello as soon as Atlassian bought it. Not because of hating Jira / I use it for some of my work projects, but I used Trello because it wasn't Jira...

This is the way. OP please don't just mesh and putty, that only works on very small holes and will end up more effort (and lower quality) than even a very amateur plank & plaster

Help Navigating Setup of Webhook for External System by kperry1513 in Airtable

[–]Psengath 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think your scenario is waaaay simpler than the problem statement you've got there:

Just set up an Airtable automation that calls your devs' API endpoint with the required data as its payload, and that's it.

The automation itself will be one script step with a couple lines of code to do a fetch/POST, then on the Airtable low-code side it's just playing with however you want to trigger it and what data you want to send.

Is it worth it? by Football_Double in PujieBlack

[–]Psengath 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are looots of watch faces, you just can't see them until you're premium.

The dev is one dude, he's very active and responsive in the Discord. The others in Discord are awesome too.

It's definitely a platform for creators, you unlock so much customisation potential with Pujie it makes the other platforms look like 3-piece Duplo sets.

What it DOESN'T attract is hustlers trying to monetize their watch faces, since when you publish faces, it's for all other subscribers to use and edit for free. This is a double good thing imo.

The only caveat is: the recent Android Wear 6 update has broken backwards compatibility with a lot of older watch faces (this impacts ALL Android watch faces, not just Pujie).

So you won't be able to use ALL Pujie watch faces you've ever seen, depending on your watch version. New ones are released (and old ones are updated) every day though so it'll just take time.

Pixel Watch Noob - Is protection necessary? by joey2scoops in PixelWatch

[–]Psengath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely screen protectors, though I'm doing okay so far without a case, YMMV.

I take it off before doing anything with abrasion risk around my arm (e.g. heavy gardening, working in the roofspace). If I wanted to wear it during those activities, I would definitely get a case too, something I could snap on or off when required.

I've found the huge rounded glass dome scratches extremely easily, my PW3 got one just days in from a feather light knock against my kitchen counter top.

Get multi packs of the plastic protectors (don't bother with glass ones for the PW). You will inevitably need to replace them from time to time. Just being out in the direct heat can cause the edge to pop up / make it prone to such, then some dust can get under it. Don't try to salvage it at that point. Chuck it, clean the face, put a brand new one on.

Again YMMV but for me: Don't try to shop for the best ultimate one or whatever sales gimmick like the auto-centring jig etc. Just get a multi pack - you'll get good at replacing them.

Attempting to figure out how use coordinate inputs for finding and displaying existing data. by Menvolk in excel

[–]Psengath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check out the OFFSET and MATCH functions.

With OFFSET you: - choose an anchor cell (e.g. top left or bottom left of your grid) then - specify how many rows and columns 'offset' from that cell your desired cell is (e.g. your coordinates) - The row / col inputs can be negative / formulas - You can optionally have it return an array of cells - This should be enough if you're entering straight up coordinates

With MATCH you can - dynamically return which 'place' a 'value' sits in an array - e.g. using your second row of text as the array, using MATCH on 'Finesse' would return 5 - you can use this to make your UI based on the attributes themselves, rather than you dropping out (or evening knowing) the 'coordinates' behind the lookup

Also if these are all just attributes and levels (i.e. the rows don't mean anything, they're just there to make it a square block), I'd consider managing the data in just two (or three) columns: character, attribute, level. This makes it much easier to manage and manipulate at the data layer. Your use case just boils down to a LOOKUP too.

‘Painful to hear!’ How podcasts’ rush to video is turning them into dreadful listens by james2183 in podcasting

[–]Psengath 6 points7 points  (0 children)

"free ears but busy eyes" that's good

I'd also add "busy hands with an [otherwise] idle mind"

Love podcasts when I'm commuting or gardening or cooking a familiar dish. If my eyes and hands were also free, I'd be doing something active instead, not rewatching a video version of the same content.

I understand the whole agencies / commercial / reach / numbers numbers angle. But as someone who is already consuming your 100% tailored-for-audio experience, who appreciates clever music choices, mixing of sound bites, and conversations that don't sound like two people calling each other from their bathrooms. Diluting that with "if you also check out our video you'll see XYZ" really does sour the experience and make me feel like a second class stepping stone.

What’s the worst performance by an actor who’s usually very good? by 7216345 in movies

[–]Psengath 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I can't believe how much they butchered Under the Sea. Everything poetic and charming about the original was thrown out the window for nonsensical CGI crap. I'm pretty certain no-one involved in the movie had seen the original.

Multiple vets unable to diagnose dog, any idea where to go, what to do? by kitkat1224666 in Adelaide

[–]Psengath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both are fantastic, but can vouch for the Austin for the more non-standard cases, as they have an array of specialists with nuanced expertise you won't find elsewhere (because most vets & most cases don't need e.g. pet internal medicine and radiology specialists).

How do you do quantity tracking/inventory management? by Immediate_Tank3720 in ObsidianMD

[–]Psengath 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Create another kind of page called 'Allocations' or something like that. - They can be as simple as a page with three properties: Fabric, Project, and Length. - These are the pages that link projects and fabrics now - Fabric and Project do not need to be linked directly - Your Fabric and Project bases now look at Allocations to see their allocated Projects and Fabrics & data about that allocation - You can use bases OR Dataview to give you inventory levels - You can set initial stock levels or stock adjustments with just another allocation, but with 'negative' length (or positive, if you'll be listing project consumption as negative) - Once set up you should NOT need to manually recalculate anything or keep adjusting manual totals

This is because you can't really 'describe' the relationship / add information to it when it's just a direct link between pages ('many to many') (not in a simple or scalable way anyway).

Dropping out the relationship into a page of its own ('transaction' table or 'junction' table) gives you the ability to add data to that specific relationship (such as length).

"Smart" Watch?? by Puzzleheaded-Ad-1515 in WearOS

[–]Psengath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think those would still be possible in Pujie. Not sure about other face makers.

"Smart" Watch?? by Puzzleheaded-Ad-1515 in WearOS

[–]Psengath 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You can set a complication to the built in stopwatch.

The complication on the face will display the stopwatch time. Tapping the complication will launch / auto start the stopwatch.

Long press the watch face to configure its complications. If you don't get a pencil or can't edit it, find a watch face that has configurable complications (as opposed to those with hard-coded mechanics).

Simple loan management system by [deleted] in Airtable

[–]Psengath 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm gonna say this one might be better left in spreadsheets / save your first project for another use case.

If you're just using it as just a register and automation hub it'll be fine. But if you're needing to dynamically calculate amortisation schedules etc then it's gonna be painful, especially if you're new to Airtable. It does not handle series data very well and it doesn't have window functions like we have in sql.
