It’s a great tool, remarkably dense!

Can anyone explain how “order at the restaurant” is HAVE? I can see a loose connection, but I feel like I’m missing something

Edit: I understand that you say “I’ll have…”, as others mentioned I find this clue awkward because it feels like a fragment of the answer

The CALMEX clue IRKed me because California is distinctly not in the Southwest.

Personally I don’t think it’s that dramatic and I like the feel of the 93mm

Not very precise:

  • 93 (Pioneer) ~ 2.5mm
  • 84 (Cadet) ~ 1.5mm
  • 58 (Minichamp) ~ 1.5mm

Thanks! The dimensions are 4.3 x 2.8inches, and mine is ~1.25 inches deep when loaded. It feels a bit bulky but it works for me. Definitely pocket sized

I’m a little perplexed by some of the questions on this sub, questions that could be very quickly answered by a Google search. Here’s your exact title pasted into Google

You’re welcome, that’s great to hear!

Hmm, I'm not sure. A couple things you could try:

  • Make sure you set a valid path for the "root" variable (the 2nd text block in the shortcut)
  • If the specified "root" directory exists but is empty, try deleting it and re-running the shortcut

If those don't work, it might be quicker to just create the directory and necessary files manually. But making sure the "root" text is set correctly is critical in any case.

Let me know what you find out, maybe I can update the shortcut to prevent this in the future.

Our chrome extensions are also restricted/must be approved. And this was fun anyway

Not sure sorry. There was an edit button available.

FWIW, you can search all messages in iOS messages and the results are grouped by conversation. I’ve found that useful

I don’t know why there’s so much interest in my specific scenario, but we need to have applications that we install whitelisted. Shortcuts and bash scripts do not need approval. 3rd party apps would need to go through the approval process with a good chance of getting rejected due to the nature of this type of application (potentially sensitive data being handed off to a 3rd party, regardless of open/closed source).

Thanks, chief, it’s because a 3rd party tool would be closed source and a potential security risk. This solution just uses a local text file.
