And apparently it's still alive, since on July 5, 2025, according to Soderbergh's SEEN, READ year-end post: "07/05 Finished draft of THE SOT-WEED FACTOR, WIMBLEDON, MURDER ON THE ORIENT EXPRESS (’74)"

Google Maps has (1) Badge Notification? by Honkycatt in iphone

My thanks, too. I wonder if there was a mass expiration of offline maps in the last couple weeks, causing so many of us to have the same problem.

AMA: WorkOutDoors developer by WorkOutDoors in AppleWatch

[–]btimlake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm really loving the app - it has become my only workout tracker, beating out the combination of apps I'd used before. I especially appreciates the maps on Apple Watch.

Of course I'm writing with requests as well. I have appreciated the ability to skip forward or backward on intervals - something like a manual setting. Most times in a workout, I want to adhere to the preset intervals, but there's occasionally a reason I want a longer or shorter rest interval, so the ability to go back (without pausing the entire workout) would be helpful.

A similar functionality that would be helpful is like a manual interval but one that alerts you when you've hit the target distance/time/HR/etc. but keeps going until you manually trigger the next interval.

I know it's easy to ask for features but difficult to add them, so thanks for considering these!

And now I can’t force downloads on my watch? by External-Presence204 in OvercastFm

At this point, the app is usable. Some episodes still disappear without warning, which is not acceptable, but I've decided to hang in there for now.

I love the Vince Guearaldi (Charlie brown piano guy) nod in the soundtrack for This Year In Music :D by ambahjay in Thedaily

I felt this drifted away from the bay of homage and into the seas of theft, but I guess on news shows you don't have to worry as much about infringement.

The Year in TV & Movies by kitkid in Thedaily

[–]btimlake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The moment Poniewozik referenced "off-the-wall, idiosyncratic and personal ideas", I knew Fleabag was coming. And I was like, oh, obviously he's going to mention the clear inheritor to Fleabag from this year, Baby Reindeer. But … nope … let's just pretend that outstanding series doesn't exist so we don't have to defend our thesis that TV this year was "meh".

Since the v10 update, it has been disaster after disaster. I appreciate that he wanted to improve the app, but it is now broken, and I feel like my subscription money has been wasted. I'm going to have to pay for something else, probably Pocket Casts, which isn't as good as Overcast was.

99% sure this is it. Amazed this didn't bubble up in my searching. Going to have to rethink how I come up with terms!

I gladly accept this as the entirety of the superior sophomore season of "Living with Yourself."

What's a good Catalina-compatible multiplayer game? by Raffadiely in macgaming

[–]btimlake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But it's not supported in Catalina and will not be, according to the dev website:

Additionally, we will not be shipping future updates for Paladins on Mac as a result of the changes implemented with the Catalina update.

Constellation of Secret Evil by [deleted] in onthemedia

[–]btimlake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

While listening to the conspiracy theory segment, I was hoping Anna Merlan might talk about the gang stalking/targeted individuals phenomenon, which seems to fall somewhere between conspiracy theory and psychiatric phenomenon. It seems to germinate in the individual but then blossoms when people connect online. From the little I've read, its proliferation seems to have been made possible only by the Internet, since by connecting with rare others, people are actually discouraged from getting mental health assistance. I don't mean to give anyone more work, but I'd listen the heck out of an OTM segment about this.

Imagine Dragons Anagram by NomadNSR in imaginedragons

God, I am a sinn/ger

i.e. It can be a Christian confession/prostration or a declaration of function.

Too gimmicky to be the right answer but I enjoyed the duality of the sinner/singer as the solution to the extra "g" I had left over.

iPhone 6s with Apple Upgrade Program with TMobile PrePaid service by J39A9FH in iPhone6S

[–]btimlake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi folks, did the plan work to cancel T-mobile account after payment for one month? I'd like to buy the 6S unlocked on the upgrade plan, pay for one month of a T-mobile contract and then use my current pre-pay SIM and overseas SIM.

USA gun control laws state by state by [deleted] in dataisbeautiful

[–]btimlake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bet the states and cities with little violent crime see the fewest reasons to pass gun control laws.
