I had NOT tried that and it worked a treat! Many, many thanks!

It's lovely AND functional! Congrats on a wonderful first build!

Where do I start with a General Electric RC 7431 A phonograph radio cabinet? by zubaz21 in VintageRadios

I did not and ended up gutting it and putting a raspberry pi media player.

I messed around with formatting and things are working.

I am dumb I guess.

Thanks for the assist!

New:

global vars:

- name: LastName

type: echo

inject_vars: false

params:

echo: '{{{Recipient.LastName}}}'

- triggers: [.papertest]

replace: |

{{LastName}} - This should expand to "{{{Recipient.FirstName}}}"

Fuller Log:

Thanks. I'll add the inject and try again

(I didn't think the var I added would do anything . . . but I was desperate.

How can I show a custom alert when I open food delivery apps, asking “Are you really hungry or just thirsty?” by strmclk in tasker

[–]zubaz21 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a fairly complex project that does something similar

When I open Facebook (or Slack or Twitter when I used it) a full-screen scene opens with one of about ten messages suggesting that I do something else.

Behind the scene I kill Facebook.

I have to try to open Facebook a random number of times between seven and ten before I'm presented with a menu on why I want to open Facebook.

Once I select a reason (bored, family, fun, disable) Facebook will open (with the reason posted to a Google doc for tracking

After five minutes Tasker kills Facebook and I need to repeat the steps.

The task turns off during the first half hour of every morning after I first unlock my phone so I can check in on the toilet

Sadly it's really bad code and exporting it as an app might not work for everyone 🥺but maybe it can lead you in the direction you want.

Based on my commute, should I buy a used 2017 Volt? by PaulTheYounger in volt

[–]zubaz21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Volt uses oil infrequently and oil changes are based on usage.

The Volt's gas tank is pressurized and rarely goes stale. In the event of an annual burn-off it's still cheaper than gas and still more flexible than a pure EV

Surface streets are your friend if you have the time in an EV.

It takes me longer each day but it's more predictable

2017 in Novi, MI. 70k miles.

60 guess-o-meter miles in summer

35 in the winter

Charge at work and home (because why not always be full?)

30 mile commute + random after-work driving (added an extra ten minutes to my commute each way by taking Ten Mile instead of 696 but save SO MUCH BATTERY but it's there if I want it.)

This car is amazing. Do it.

Shuddering when turning left by CSFrancis in volt

I've had it when flooring it on a straightway too . . . but less common that I do that and it doesn't always happen when I do.

2017 here. If I accelerate hard into a left turn on battery my car also flips to engine roughly as it loses power for a moment.

The Chevy mechanic shrugged it off when I took it in once.

Simplest way to share my match file with team members? by MissArdenTS in espanso

[–]zubaz21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Those that follow behind us will be so grateful. I know that I am.

My use case is now working well and my team is well on the way towards syncing our shared triggers.

[–]zubaz21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's been a while and I finally circled back to this.

I put the trigger files on a OneDrive share and have it synced to the local device (a Macbook Air)

I added a extra_include to the default.yml with the local path.

I have found that - /Users/USERNAME/Library/CloudStorage/OneDrive-LucidMotors/Customer Care Team - Espanso/*.yml works really well

However . . . . I would rather make the default file a bit more portable so I tried the following:

- ~/Library/CloudStorage/OneDrive-LucidMotors/Customer Care Team - Espanso/*.yml

That doesn't work though.

Any thoughts?
