You drop into an iMessage quick tip and quickly branch into a whole toolkit for running your Apple life smarter. You learn faster ways to edit messages, how Slack's up-arrow muscle memory carries over, and why platforms limit your edit window. From there, the show rolls into clever NFC and QR workflows for appliance manuals, Time Machine fixes over SMB on Synology, and a deep dive on spam and email hygiene: Fastmail's undelete safety net, SaneBox's smart filtering, Apple Mail's categories, plus when to reach for SpamSieve or even your own chatbot to watch junk folders so you Don't Get Caught losing important mail. The crew also compares real‑world email providers, DNS setups (Cloudflare, Google, Quad9), and router‑level changes that stabilize your network. You get a reality check on legacy cruft—Trip Mode, MacFUSE, ancient launch agents—still loading after years of Migration Assistant, and how tools like Lingon and CleanMyMac help you audit what's secretly running. On the fun-and-productivity side, you hear honest impressions of Apple Vision Pro: tabletop-style multiplayer games like Demeo, surprisingly usable virtual desktops, the importance of dual straps and decent cases, and when to skip hotel Wi‑Fi in favor of hotspots or a UniFi travel router so your Macs, iPads, and headsets all “think” they're at home. 00:00:00 Mac Geek Gab 1131 for Monday, March 2nd, 2026 March 2nd: National Banana Cream Pie Day MGG Monthly Giveaway – Enter to win a copy of SoundSource from Rogue Amoeba!

Dollar tree Dollar Tree Survival: What's Worth Buying (And What's Trash) | Episode 582 Every prepper loves to argue gear. Expensive gear. Fancy gear. Tactical gear.But when weather hits and shelves start thinning out, a lot of the most useful stuff people grab doesn't come from boutique survival stores — it comes from places like Dollar Tree. This episode is a straight, no-nonsense breakdown of what's actually worth buying there, what works in real life, and what you should absolutely never waste your money on. Electrolytes, Drink Mixes, and Cheap Hydration Wins Let's start with one of the best buys: drink mixes and electrolytes. I make my own electrolytes — quarter teaspoon of table salt, quarter teaspoon of light salt for potassium — but straight salty water kind of sucks. Flavor helps, and Dollar Tree has cheap packets that do the job. Store brand electrolyte packets are usually around five bucks elsewhere. Dollar Tree? About a buck and a quarter. Good flavors, no nonsense. They don't need to be fancy. They just need to get fluids into you. I've been drinking more water and electrolytes at work lately instead of Coke, partly because I'm taking iron pills and caffeine messes with absorption. It saves money, cuts caffeine, and keeps hydration solid. That alone makes these packets worth stocking. Allergy Meds, Band-Aids, and Medical Basics Dollar Tree allergy pills actually work. We've used them. If an allergy pill doesn't work, you know immediately — and these did. That's not something I'd say for every supplement in the world, but for allergy meds? Totally acceptable. That said, if you can plan ahead, Amazon year-supply bottles are still the better deal. Band-Aids are another situational win. You don't always need premium adhesion. Sometimes you just need to cover a small cut so it's not open to bacteria. Especially with kids, cheap band-aids are fine for minor stuff. They also carry: Isopropyl alcohol Hydrogen peroxide Cotton balls Vaseline (small tubs, but useful) All of that belongs in a first aid kit or backup stash. Feminine Products and Personal Care Emergency feminine products from Dollar Tree work. They're not luxury, but they do the job — and in preparedness, function beats comfort. Toothbrushes are fine as backups. Toothpaste is okay if you need it right now, but the unit price usually isn't great. Bulk buying elsewhere still wins. Still, if you're already there and you're low? Grab it. Batteries: Garbage, But Sometimes Useful Garbage Dollar Tree batteries are bad. No debate. They're trash in high-drain devices. But here's the thing: not everything is high drain. TV remotes? They work fine. You'll get months out of them. And because they're so cheap, you can slowly build a backup stash just by grabbing a pack here and there. We even use them as emergency backups in our propane on-demand water heater. It takes four AA batteries. No batteries means no hot water. Rechargeables are the primary solution — but if something goes sideways, Dollar Tree batteries will still get us through showers and dishes for a while. In an emergency, “good enough” is still good enough. Food, Snacks, and Bug-Out Bag Items Dollar Tree snacks are solid: Granola bars Protein bars Instant coffee Coffee packets Drink mixes They also carry instant espresso powder sometimes — and if you see it, grab it. That stuff is legit and fantastic for preps. Small jars of instant coffee are great for pantries. Packets are better for bug-out bags. Cheap energy drinks and drink mixes are easy morale wins. Tools, Electronics, and Stuff You Should Never Buy This is where people screw up. Do not buy: Tools Knives Electronics Headphones Power strips Surge protectors It's all junk. Unsafe junk in some cases. Trash bags, on the other hand, are useful. Survival trash bags can collect water, act as ground sheets, improvised ponchos, condensation traps — tons of uses. Duct tape and electrical tape are fine.Notebooks, pens, pencils? Totally fine.School supplies and basic learning materials? Acceptable. But tools and electronics? Hard pass. And for the love of God, don't buy the Dollar Tree steak. The Real Takeaway Dollar Tree isn't a survival store — but it is a supply store if you know what you're doing. Use it for: Hydration support Medical basics Cheap backups Snacks and morale Avoid it for: Tools Electronics Anything you'd trust your safety to Preparedness isn't about buying expensive gear. It's about knowing what works, what doesn't, and building layers that make sense. This is James from SurvivalPunk.com.DIY to survive.

Resources mentioned in the show: https://lifeunboxed.blog/co-op-homeschool/ Homeschooling doesn't mean that you do everything alone. Co-op homeschool is a great way for families to get together and share what they are good at, things they like, and find support. Co-op homeschool is a great way to add enrichment classes to your homeschool, without adding one more thing to teach to your plate.  Homeschool co-ops give parents a break from teaching every subject. They give mom and kids a great outlet to socialize,  and provide opportunities for classes that are more fun in a group setting. And, I know what you're thinking. If this is a true co-op homeschool, what can I teach? Mom, you can teach a co-op homeschool class, it is fun, and I have ideas for you. Find your tribe.

It's our first Stationery Freaks episode of 2026, and we're going deep on goal setting, as we usually do for the first cast of the year. Rob and Helen compare two different approaches to planning the year: outcomes vs lifestyle, goals vs systems, and why the “right” method depends on what helps you keep going (not what looks good on paper). Helen shares her shift toward building routines that protect what matters - writing time, movement, mental bandwidth - plus a surprisingly brilliant charity-shop find: a Rocketbook reusable notebook for 50p. Rob reflects on his year using a Collins ledger, talks “painted picture” thinking, and explains why reducing friction is the only way his creative work (and business) stays sustainable - including a post-mortem on the infamous Wallpaper Method.Along the way we talk Obsidian vs Apple Notes, Todoist, habit tracking (and why it can backfire), buying stationery locally vs Amazon, and the uncomfortable truth: between us, we're entering 2026 with 172 unused notebooks (yes, really).And how this year we've set ourselves the target of ending the year with fewer notebooks.If you're planning your year - or rebuilding your systems after they collapsed in January - this one's for you. Find the newsletter (with Rocketbook photos) and past episodes at stationeryfreaks.com Instagram: @stationeryfreaksuk

Welcome to episode 295 of the Spun Today Podcast, In this episode, Tony Ortiz dives deep into the world of storytelling by breaking down the Black Mirror episode, "Common People." He explores how great speculative fiction doesn't invent new emotions—it amplifies the ones we already know all too well. Tony discusses how everyday anxieties like money, health, and love become the heartbeat of compelling narratives, especially when survival itself is transformed into a subscription service and love is put under extreme pressure.   You'll also hear writing takeaways on grounding relatable characters, escalating stakes through economics instead of violence, and how subtle horror can be more powerful than gore. On top of an insightful TV breakdown, this episode welcomes Ben Affleck and Matt Damon into the "Goats Doing Goat Shit" segment for their groundbreaking efforts in reshaping how film crews get compensated. Whether you're a writer seeking fresh inspiration or just a fan of sharp analysis, this episode is packed with creative insights to fuel your craft. So settle in—let's explore the delicate dance between art, commerce, and the stories that stick with us long after the credits roll.   The Spun Today Podcast is a Podcast that is anchored in Writing, but unlimited in scope.  Give it a whirl.      Twitter: https://twitter.com/spuntoday  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/spuntoday/  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@spuntoday   Website: http://www.spuntoday.com/home  Newsletter: http://www.spuntoday.com/subscribe      Links referenced in this episode   Black Mirror: Common People - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt30127325/ Ben Affleck and Matt Damon negotiate bonus for crew: https://nationalpost.com/entertainment/affleck-damon-netflix-rip   Get your Podcast Started Today! https://signup.libsyn.com/?promo_code=SPUN (Use Promo code SPUN and get up to 2-months of free service!)   Check out all the Spun Today Merch, and other ways to help support this show! https://www.spuntoday.com/support   Check out my Books   Make Way for You – Tips for getting out of your own way FRACTAL – A Time Travel Tale Melted Cold – A Collection of Short Stories   http://www.spuntoday.com/books/ (e-Book, Paperback & Hardcover are now available).   Fill out my Spun Today Questionnaire if you're passionate about your craft.  I'll share your insight and motivation on the Podcast: http://www.spuntoday.com/questionnaire/     Shop on Amazon using this link, to support the Podcast: https://amzn.to/4km592l      Shop on iTunes using this link, to support the Podcast: https://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewTop?genreId=38&id=27820&popId=42&uo=10   Shop at the Spun Today store for Mugs, Notebooks, T-Shirts and more: https://spuntoday-shop.fourthwall.com/   Music: https://www.purple-planet.com   Outro Background Music: https://www.bensound.com   Spun Today Logo by: https://www.naveendhanalak.com/   Sound effects are credited to: http://www.freesfx.co.uk   Listen on: ApplePodcasts | Spotify | Pocket Casts | YouTube | Website

In dieser Episode dreht sich alles um Datenvalidierung und darum, wie sich das Prinzip "Garbage In, Garbage Out" vermeiden lässt. Mira und Michelle erklären, warum eine gründliche Prüfung der Datenqualität direkt zu Projektbeginn entscheidend ist. Im Fokus stehen typische Checks wie Schema-Validierung, Vollständigkeit, Konsistenz und statistische Auffälligkeiten. Außerdem geht es darum, wie Datenvalidierung hilft, Daten besser zu verstehen und Fehler frühzeitig aufzudecken. Abschließend werden praktische Techniken und Tools vorgestellt, die von manueller Analyse bis zur automatisierten Pipeline reichen. **Zusammenfassung** Datenvalidierung prüft die Datenqualität vor der Modellierung Ziel: Probleme früh erkennen und Ressourcen sparen Wichtige Aspekte: Datentypen, Duplikate, fehlende Werte Logik- und Plausibilitätschecks (z.B. Alter nicht negativ, Prozentwerte im richtigen Bereich) Statistische Methoden zur Erkennung von Anomalien und Verteilungen Univariat: einfache Kennzahlen, Histogramme, Boxplots, Zeitreihenanalysen Multivariat: Korrelationen, Scatterplots, Kreuztabellen, Multikollinearität Tools reichen von Notebooks und Reports bis zu Dashboards und automatisierten Pipelines **Links** Great Expectations (Datenvalidierung in Python): https://greatexpectations.io/ Pandera (Schema-Validierung für Pandas): https://pandera.readthedocs.io/ dataMaid (Datenvalidierung in R): https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/dataMaid/index.html Pydantic (Datenvalidierung & Settings in Python): https://docs.pydantic.dev/ Wikipedia-Eintrag zum Prinzip "Garbage In, Garbage Out": https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garbage_In,_Garbage_Out

Welcome back to the Spun Today Podcast—the show anchored in writing, but unlimited in scope. In this episode, host Tony Ortiz celebrates the start of a new year with a reflective journey through personal creative goals and the highlights of 2025. After the longest hiatus in the podcast's history, Tony Ortiz dives into a wrap-up of the top five Spun Today episodes from the past year, sharing the stories, lessons, and memories that shaped the journey, including heartfelt tributes to friendships, deep-dive breakdowns of TV and movies through a writer's lens, and insightful interviews with fellow creatives. You'll hear honest reflections on the writing and podcasting goals set for last year—what worked, what didn't, and the exciting intentions set for 2026. Whether it's exploring the creative process behind storytelling, wrestling with writer's block, or extracting actionable inspiration from pop culture, this episode is packed with insights to fuel your own creative ambitions. Stick around for new developments, bonus content, and a renewed commitment to sharing the ups and downs of the writing life.

Merry Christmas! We made it. It's the most wonderful day of the year: Christmas Eve. Today, I wanted to share a few thoughts about the year behind us, what this Christmas journey has meant to me, and of course, read a story with you. I'll be reading from Charles Dickens's script of his one-man performance of A Christmas Carol, sharing one of my favorite scenes of all, the Cratchit family Christmas. It's full of warmth, joy, and the kind of cheer that makes you want to pull your chair a little closer to the fire. So settle in, pour yourself something festive, and let's enjoy these quiet moments together.     Ways to support the show: Rate and review: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a-cozy-christmas-podcast/id1523423375  Buy me a coffee? www.ko-fi.com/cozychristmas  Ornaments, Mugs, and Notebooks: https://www.etsy.com/shop/CozyChristmasPodcast  Logo shirt designs: http://tee.pub/lic/edygC_h4D1c    Contact Me: facebook: https://www.facebook.com/cozychristmaspodcast  instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cozychristmaspodcast/  twitter: https://twitter.com/CozyXmasPod  youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCikiozEbu0h9pKeI1Ei5TQ email: cozychristmaspodcast@gmail.com         #podcast #Christmas #christmaspodcast #christmascarol #scrooge #tinytim #christmasstory #cozychristmas

Happy Christmas week, everyone! Is your shopping finished yet? Have you baked any good cookies? Today, I'm inviting you to pause for a moment and reflect on creativity, especially the beauty of bringing a handmade, home-crafted touch to Christmas. My guest is Elizabeth Duke, whose passion is teaching people how to stitch and craft in a mindful, intentional way. We talk about her career, how deliberate creativity can enrich our lives, and of course, all things Christmas. Along the way, I learn how a crafter's emotions can influence their stitching, discover the art of ice dyeing, and we share some of our favorite Christmas traditions.

You dig into the little things macOS quietly does for you, starting with the surprising truth about Clipboard History and why macOS 26 might feel slower than you’d expect. You explore ways to rein things in, from taming runaway apps to making better use of iPhone Mirroring and clever video capture tricks. Along the way, you're reminded that old hardware still has value if you give it purpose, and that blind trust in AI troubleshooting can lead you astray faster than it helps. This is where staying curious beats staying complacent, and where “Don't Get Caught” is more than a catchphrase. Then you move into the real-world problem solving that defines Mac Geek Gab: networking quirks that break expectations, WiFi settings that ignore reservations, and router updates that change the rules midstream. You also get clear, practical guidance on buying the right Mac, migrating only what you actually need, hunting down duplicate files, and reclaiming menu bar space from the notch. Even photo libraries get a reality check, helping you decide what truly needs to live inside Photos. It's a fast-moving episode packed with answers you can use immediately, designed to keep your setup efficient, intentional, and frustration-free. 00:00:00 Mac Geek Gab 1121 for Monday, December 22nd, 2025 December 22nd: International Day of Mathematics MGG Monthly Giveaway – Enter to win a copy of OpenIn!

Merry Christmas! Today I'm back to spend a little more time with Mrs. Claus, and yes, the Christmas vibes are cranked all the way up! I share some traditions and memories sent in by listeners, then review a delightful new book, What Would Mrs. Claus Do? by Pamela McColl and Lindsay Stewart. I read a few favorite quotes and offer my thoughts on both the book and Mrs. Claus herself. After that, we gather by the Christmas fire for a reading of the narrative poem "Goody Santa Claus"—with "Goody" being an old-fashioned way of saying "Mrs." I also dive into the life of the author of the poem, Katharine Lee Bates. She was an American author best known for penning the lyrics to America the Beautiful. When it first appeared, it helped give Mrs. Claus her own voice in Christmas literature. Wherever you find yourself this week, I hope you're able to slow down, stay cozy, and savor the joy of the Christmas season.

One of my favorite parts of Christmas is the lights! My guest today is new author Makennah Johnston, who has just published a wonderful children's story called "The McBrights":  "Every Christmas Eve, the McBrights dazzle from the branches of the Evergreen Tree in Henbrook's town square, warming hearts with their old-fashioned glow. This year, however, something isn't quite right. The McBrights are left in their storage box for longer than usual, and when they are finally unpacked, they find themselves for sale at an antique store! They may be vintage, but their bulbs aren't burnt out yet. Bernie McBright is determined to get his family shining where they belong. Could the store's newest visitor be the spark the McBrights need to light up Christmas once more?" I also recommend another children's Christmas book called The Candy Cane Forest by Lindsay Ann Fink. It's a charming and colorful story of how Santa's elves plant and grow one of my favorite Christmas treats - Candy canes! After that I wrap up with a few thoughts on the lights of Christmas, and what they mean to me.  Learn more about Makennah here: https://www.blueballoonbooks.com/authors/makennah-johnston  Recommended Books: The McBrights by Makennah Johnston The Candy Cane Forest by Lindsay Ann Fink   Ways to support the show: Rate and review: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a-cozy-christmas-podcast/id1523423375  Buy me a coffee? www.ko-fi.com/cozychristmas  Ornaments, Mugs, and Notebooks: https://www.etsy.com/shop/CozyChristmasPodcast  Logo shirt designs: http://tee.pub/lic/edygC_h4D1c    Contact Me: facebook: https://www.facebook.com/cozychristmaspodcast  instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cozychristmaspodcast/  twitter: https://twitter.com/CozyXmasPod  youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCikiozEbu0h9pKeI1Ei5TQ email: cozychristmaspodcast@gmail.com     #christmas #podcast #authorinterview #christmaspodcast

Hello and Merry Christmas! My guest today is podcast host and the only man who dares enter the Grinch's lair, Tim Babb from the "Can't Wait for Christmas" podcast! Tim and I get together to talk about one of our favorite Christmas movies, 2000's "Dr. Suess' How the Grinch Stole Christmas" starring the brilliantly funny Jim Carrey. We talk about our favorite parts, favorite quotes, memories around the film, and more. We also talk about Taylor Momsen (Cindy Lou Who!), her career post-Grinch, and her delightful new Christmas album, "A Pretty Reckless Christmas." After my chat with Tim, I talk a little bit about how to get through the holidays with your mental health intact, and share a few Christmasy things that have brought me laughter.   Find Tim Babb and his podcast here: https://cantwaitforchristmaspod.com/  Check out Taylor Momsen's Pretty Reckless Christmas Album: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLdrDVC4Iv189t9UbLBRRUJXMgT3UPdT9i  For more laughs, watch: The Goes Wrong Show, S2: Ep. 1: The Nativity: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oqW3_AZRSlw  A Christmas Carol Goes Wrong: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fLOi5H3ylBo    Ways to support the show: Rate and review: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a-cozy-christmas-podcast/id1523423375  Buy me a coffee? www.ko-fi.com/cozychristmas  Ornaments, Mugs, and Notebooks: https://www.etsy.com/shop/CozyChristmasPodcast  Logo shirt designs: http://tee.pub/lic/edygC_h4D1c    Contact Me: facebook: https://www.facebook.com/cozychristmaspodcast  instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cozychristmaspodcast/  twitter: https://twitter.com/CozyXmasPod  youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCikiozEbu0h9pKeI1Ei5TQ email: cozychristmaspodcast@gmail.com      #christmas #podcast #thegrinch #christmaspodcast

Happy Thanksgiving Week, everyone! Today I'll be reading a Thanksgiving story titled "Two Thanksgiving Day Gentlemen" by the legendary short story master O. Henry. It's a funny and thoughtful tale about two men bound by tradition… but I won't spoil anything! After the story, I chat a bit about our own traditions and ask an important question: Is it okay for some traditions to come to an end? I also share a Christmas book recommendation and talk about Words Christmas Gave Us by Grace Tierney. You can listen to my interview with her in last week's episode!

"Anything beats writing. Writing is tough," says John McPhee, staff writer for The New Yorker and author of more than thirty books of nonfiction.Hey CNFers, this is Episode 500 of The Creative Nonfiction Podcast, the show where I speak to tellers of true tales about the true tales they tell. There are kilometer stones like 100, 200, 300, and 400, but this one, this is a milestone and it features the writer and journalist who made me want to write narrative nonfiction in the first place: John McPhee.John is a titan, a soft-spoken titan. He is the author of more than 30 books, including A Sense of Where You Are, Levels of the Game, his Pulitzer Prize-winning Annals of the Former World, and the book that made me want to write nonfiction: The Survival of the Bark Canoe. John is 94 years young, still lives in Princeton where he has taught an exclusive masterclass on factual storytelling, a class taken by the likes of David Remnick and the late Grant Wahl, I believe, among countless people who have gone on to write and report with distinction.He's been a staff writer for The New Yorker since the 1960s when William Shawn was the editor. Not long thereafter, he was offered a job to teach at his alma mater Princeton University and he famously edited students' submissions not unlike how Shawn edited him at The New Yorker. He's written about such wide ranging topics from basketball, to tennis, to bark canoes, to Alaska, to lacrosse, to oranges, to myriad topics in geology.John is synonymous with thinking through structure and coming up with unique structures for most of his stories, each one something of a fingerprint: no two are alike and the facts borne out from this intensive, slow reporting dictate the shape of the story he has locked into.His work is methodical and patient. He hangs out. He fills notebook after notebook, rarely uses a recorder, maybe only if there's someone speaking in such technical jargon that there's no way to keep pace. His career has been this wonderful balance of give and take: teach for most of the year and not write; then write and not teach. John is unassuming and gentle and an example of how you can do this work without bombast or pyro and still be riveting and sometimes downright hilarious.So we talk about: The influence of his high school English teacher Olive McKee Living room fighters Writing on spec The notebooks he's used for decades How a lack of confidences is an asset What a good editor does Writing as teaching How having a plan frees you to write The panic of having not written leads to productivity And how proud of his daughters he isParting shot on what it all means at 500 and maybe where I see the show going for the next 500.Order The Front RunnerNewsletter: Rage Against the AlgorithmWelcome to Pitch ClubShow notes: brendanomeara.com

Balancing work, homeschooling, and everyday life can often feel like starring in your own three-ring circus—with no intermission. This is my circus and these are my monkeys. So how do you get it done and keep your sanity?  It feels like the same thing day after day. Before the alarm buzzes at 5am, your mind is already churning through the day's impossible juggling act: client projects, math lessons, laundry, spelling tests, deadlines, and somehow finding time to actually eat. This is the reality of working from home and homeschooling. Is it possible to do it all and still get it done? Show notes and links: https://lifeunboxed.blog/get-it-done/ Find your tribe.
