SWITCH 2? MINECRAFT MOVIE? yeah we got opinions. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

I gave up my iPhone for a healthier phone (for 30 days). My goals were to be more present with my kids, find better screen time balance and improve my need to be productive at all times. To slow down! I chose the Wisephone for this test because it is the most advanced, intentional phone for adults. It has all the things I need, but none of the apps that can addict me. No, I'm not sponsored! Just curious. I'd love to hear from any parents who have tried alternative phones like the Wisephone, The Light Phone or others...to swap stories!

On this week's episode, the guys kick things off with an in-depth discussion about the highly anticipated Nintendo Switch 2, delving into the latest news and intriguing details surrounding the console. They explore the expected pricing structure for both the console itself and the games that will be available at launch, examining how these prices compare to previous models and what that could mean for consumers. The conversation also touches on the potential features and upgrades that gamers can look forward to, creating a buzz about what the next generation of Nintendo gaming might entail.Following this exciting topic, the guys transition into a vibrant discussion about some upcoming animated shows that have caught their attention.

The guys discuss Shankar's vision and how his work has influenced the landscape of animated adaptations, as well as the challenges and successes he has faced in bringing these projects to life. They reflect on the impact of his creative choices and how they resonate with fans who are eager for fresh content that pushes boundaries.Next, Joe shares some exciting news about Dwayne Johnson's upcoming book and movie that delve into the intriguing world of the Hawaiian Mob. He elaborates on the themes that the book will cover, including the cultural significance and historical context of organized crime in Hawaii. The guys speculate on how Johnson's unique perspective and charisma will translate into this project, and they discuss the potential implications it might have for audiences who are unfamiliar with this aspect of Hawaiian history.As the episode progresses, Joe brings to light an interesting marketing initiative by Coca-Cola, which is set to release a special version of their beloved soda specifically for Passover. The guys explore the significance of this move, discussing how brands often tailor their products to cater to specific cultural and religious observances, and what this means for consumer engagement during holiday seasons.To wrap up the episode, the guys engage in a lively discussion about the exciting new flavors being introduced by Liquid Death, a brand known for its unique approach to bottled water.

Vodafone Ireland is encouraging Irish users to unlock the full potential of their mobile phones by enabling the hidden Wi-Fi Calling feature to improve their phone network experience. Available on most Apple and Android devices, Wi-Fi Calling, also known as VoWi-Fi, allows users to make and receive calls in any location where you are connected to a Wi-Fi network, even if there is no regular phone signal or poor indoor coverage. This easy-to-use feature allows calls to be made using Wi-Fi, ensuring seamless communication, even in areas with challenging signal conditions. While mobile networks technology is continually advancing and improving for the better, network coverage may occasionally be influenced by structural, natural, and geographical factors. Consequently, mobile users may experience varying levels of cellular network as they go about their daily activities, especially in areas with unique signal conditions. By enabling VoWi-Fi, users can experience consistent call quality and connectivity, regardless of their location. Fiona Sheridan, Head of Network Deployment for Vodafone Ireland said: "Vodafone has been consistently recognised as the best mobile network in Ireland by independent awards such as nPerf and Umlaut. Even so, we want to enhance our customers network experience even more. By activating the Wi-Fi Calling feature, users can fully utilise their mobile phones, ensuring uninterrupted communication even in areas with weak signal coverage. This feature leverages Wi-Fi to make calls, offering consistent call quality and connectivity, without any additional costs. We encourage all our customers to enable VoWi-Fi and enjoy the benefits of seamless communication, no matter where they are." Wi-Fi Calling Providing seamless call quality, VoWi-Fi offers connection without fuss, and all from places that regular phone signal cannot reach - no separate app needed. At no extra cost or hidden charges, Vodafone VoWi-Fi calling is charged at the same rate as making a call over the cellular network. Users can enable VoWi-Fi Calling on their iOS and Android mobile device by enabling the feature in 'Settings' and switching the toggle 'Wi-Fi Calling' to the 'On' position, then click 'OK' to confirm. Three steps to set up Wi-Fi Calling on iOS/Apple: From your start screen - select Settings then Mobile Service Select Wi-Fi Calling Toggle Wi-Fi Calling to the on position, then click Enable to confirm Three steps to set up Wi-Fi Calling on Android: From your Home screen select Phone Tap the menu on the top-right then select Settings Toggle Wi-Fi Calling to the on position then click OK to confirm 4G Calling Want even more connectivity? Experience seamless, high-quality calls with 4G Calling, also known as VoLTE. This feature is also available to Vodafone customers with compatible devices, allowing seamless, high-quality calls to take place via mobile wherever the user has access the 4G network. Like with Wi-Fi Calling, 4G Calling has no effect on the user's data streaming, enabling users to carry on multi-tasking - watch videos, use apps, or do anything that uses data - all while enjoying consistent call quality. To learn more or to check if your phone supports 4G and Wi-Fi Calling, please visit your local Vodafone store or visit Vodafone WiFi Calling.

(free crochet pattern on Ravelry). Yarn has a lot of twist, got all tangly and we stayed after to untangle it together while other cast members performed on stage. On the first night of rehearsal one of my cast-mates asked about my knitting and through that conversation we figured out we've worked together before. She was the choreographer when I was in a production of Crazy for You at a local community college when I was in high school. I wore my Aurealis sweater (Ravelry Project Page) one night to music rehearsal and my friend Deana complimented it and I told her I knit it! Laura's sock drawer! How gorgeous is this?   In My Travels Vegas trip for BOSS Reseller Remix & FearLESS Living Fund 2025 Awards We gave away 2 $5,000 scholarships Mom's friend Crystal got a fearless tattoo on her arm. We enjoyed visiting the Sphere to see the Postcards from Earth documentary. We checked out the Bellagio Conservatory for their beautiful display of Easter decor/flowers. Knitting at craps table with Jeff. The manager told me he doesn't see many firsts anymore but I was the first person he'd ever seen knitting in a casino before. He came back a few minutes later asking what I was making- definitely intrigued. It took until the last day- walking through New York New York to find Wizard of Oz slots Mom loved best. It was obviously a bittersweet trip. Ryan Wilson said it best when he said before talking about 2 winners- in some ways this is the most important year because its the first one without Mom and we're still doing it. If you want to see the awards presentation, here's a link to video on my YouTube channel.   Boston Public Market Fiber Fest- Sunday March 23 from 10a-5p. Free Admission Megg, Riley and I went in the morning. Riley wore her crocheted flowered top (Ravelry Project Page).

Have you heard of it?   Ask Me Anything Instagram- Knitbakecook- Do you ever have crafting slumps? If so, how do you overcome them? Yes! Sometimes it helps just to lean into that, don't pressure yourself and then lean back in when you get the urge. More often, what works best is to start something new (or pick back up something that is exciting you). Ideally something small like a hat or a toy so you get that dopamine hit of finishing something fun to get those creative juices flowing. Search your Ravelry favorite or queue, browse Instagram or Pinterest and let yourself day dream a little. Creative time should be fun so find the fun and you'll be excited to get back into things. Instagram- ndoyal- When are you coming to the PNW?! I am planning to go to Flock in August. Instagram- nukerklein- Have you been or are you planning to go to VT Sheep & Wool in the fall? This year it's October 4-5 (Dad's birthday- so likely not this year) Check out this vlog from 2024 trip to VT Sheep & Wool. NDoyal- Dates for Splash Pad Sunday June 1 through Thursday July 31st.

In peaceful times, we might gift a basket of pysanky (hand-painted eggs), but now, we aim to deliver a basket of trucks to our warriors.This time, our main focus is on the Seraphims of the 104th Brigade and Chimera of HUR (Main Directorate of Intelligence), highly effective units that: - disrupt enemy logistics - detect and strike command centers - carry out precision operations against high-value enemy targetsand a lot more "giving Ukraine cards" https://car4ukraine.com/campaigns/easter-pysanky-silicon-curtain----------This is another request I'm making personally to the generous and supportive audience of Silicon Curtain. A last-minute opportunity has arisen to travel to Ukraine with an aid convey in April 2025. This comes at a critical time where Kremlin-inspired lies are permeating social and traditional media. This is a chance to film the reality, and share it with a global audience to undercut the lies of Putin, Trump and the weird, malicious people within the US administration. https://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtain/shop/urgent-micro-fundraiser-to-support-to-1320505https://buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain/e/387699Urgent micro-fundraiser to support an imminent Journey to Ukraine - which will begin on April 1st 2025. the aim is to generate £2,500 in the next week, to cover the costs of travel, food and some items of equipment to support filming and editing of the footage we take through the course of the journey. This is an urgent fundraiser to support my forthcoming journey across Ukraine in April, traveling with an aid convoy. The trip will result in essential footage for the documentary film, as well as valuable insights that will help to plan the full filming of the documentary. We will also be creating video diary episodes and interviews to be shown daily on Silicon Curtain during and after the trip. Your generosity will make this possible and is helping to get the truth about Ukraine into the media. Purchases of £100, dollars or Euros will receive an exclusive Silicon Curtain patch, which we are having designed and made in Kharkiv, Ukraine. https://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtain/shop/urgent-micro-fundraiser-to-support-to-1320505https://buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain/e/387699----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtain----------TRUSTED CHARITIES ON THE GROUND:Save Ukrainehttps://www.saveukraineua.org/Superhumans - Hospital for war traumashttps://superhumans.com/en/UNBROKEN - Treatment.

Interesting quotes from the thread I get it replaces pip/pyenv, but should I also use it instead of the built in 'python -m venv .venv'? But I need python installed to make python programs? Because it places the venv in the project folder and I can't run executables from there due to corporate policy. Many such cases. No idea why astral doesn't address this with more urgency. Sounds like a bad corporate policy :) i'm too lazy to switch from pyenv and pip trust issues, what if they do a bait and switch … Because everyone said that about poetry and I'm not sure I'm really ready to get hurt again. Masochism Many times I tried a lot of similar tools and always come back to pip and pip-tools. Them are just work, why should I spend my time for something "cool" that will bring more problems? I tried this week but I was expecting a "uv install requests" instead of "uv add". Switched back to pipenv. we partially use it. will transition when Dependabot support is available. I'll leave it with → Jared Scheel: Seeing a whole lotta Stockholm Syndrome in the replies to this question. Brian #2: Python Developer Tooling Handbook Tim Hopper “This is not a book about programming Python. Instead, the goal of this book is to help you understand the ecosystem of tools used to make Python development easier and more productive” Covers tools related to packaging, linting, formatting, and managing dependencies. Michael #3: Calling all doc writers: blacken-docs Run black on python code blocks in documentation files You can also install blacken-docs as a pre-commit hook. It supports Markdown, reStructuredText, and LaTex files. Additionally, you can run it on Python files to reformat Markdown and reStructuredText within docstrings.

Any cell named as test_* is automatically discoverable and testable by pytest.

Once again, we're diving deep into the Esalen archives to share a fascinating historical recording - this one featuring electronic music pioneer Doug McKechnie. In the late 1960s and early '70s, Doug McKechnie was at the cutting edge of musical innovation, harnessing the revolutionary Moog synthesizer to create mesmerizing sounds. McKechnie was a contemporary of iconic figures like Wendy Carlos, known for the 1968 record "Switched-on Bach," a collection of pieces by Bach that were performed by Carlos on the Moog synthesizer. This album, which won a Grammy for Classical Album of the Year, played a key role in bringing synthesizers to popular music. McKechnie was also tied to the Grateful Dead, contributing to the band's most experimental album, "Aoxomoxoa.” He also played at Altamont, not really a feather in anyone's cap, but it shows the breadth of his growing popularity, and that of the Moog synthesizer. Moogs are characterized by distinctive electronic timbres and pulsating rhythms, as well as hypnotic sequences. They are very much a part of the psychedelia of the late 1960s, fitting right in with the oil light shows, pop art, face paint and neon day glo colors of the time. The Moog's ability to generate evocative psycho-acoustic atmospheres allowed musicians like McKechnie to tap into the exploration of internal landscapes that seemed to naturally occur during psychedelic adventures. The performance you're about to hear was recorded live at Esalen in the late 1960s, preserved for decades on half inch to reel, then dusted off, digitized, and transported to you via the magic of podcasting. So sit back, relax, and let the Moog take you on a trippy auditory journey to a pivotal moment in musical and technological history.

We discuss Trump's recent executive order Expanding Access to In Vitro Fertilization, unpacking why it raises serious concerns for the well-being of children born through this technology.

Astronomers made a super cool discovery—they found the light that "switched on" the universe! This light comes from when the first stars and galaxies lit up the cosmos billions of years ago. It's like finding the universe's baby photos, showing us what things looked like way back then. They spotted it using advanced telescopes that can detect faint, ancient light traveling through space. This discovery helps us understand how the universe went from dark and empty to the starry place we see today. It's a glimpse into the ultimate cosmic beginning!

What happens when your podcast's theme song—cobbled together from GarageBand loops—gets called “game show music” and likened to a cereal commercial? You rewrite it. In this episode, we take you behind the scenes of Switched on Pop's sonic makeover, from scathing critiques by music industry heavyweights to the creation of a lush, layered soundscape inspired by Wendy Carlos and PBS science shows. With expert advice from sonic branding maestro Dallas Taylor (Twenty Thousand Hertz) and the composers Zach Tenorio and Jocie Adams (Arc Iris), we dissect every step of transforming our theme into a timeless sonic identity. Tune in for the full story and hear how we turned a jingle crisis into a musical triumph.

Revero Clinic for treating chronic diseases: https://revero.com Join Revero Now to transform your health: https://revero.com/membership Jenny, a 64-year-old woman from rural NSW, has transformed her health and athletic performance through a carnivore diet. Living with her husband Mick, she has a diverse professional background as a bench chemist, outdoor leader, and chef. Throughout her youth and early adulthood, Jenny struggled with weight management, emotional eating, and various health issues. She developed a back problem at 25, battled ovarian cancer at 27, and underwent a hysterectomy at 45. She was also diagnosed with HNPP, a rare genetic condition affecting her nerve sheaths, and developed an alpha-gal meat allergy from a tick bite. In 2021, at age 61, Jenny began her journey with a keto diet before transitioning to carnivore in June 2022. This dietary change led to an 18kg weight loss, stabilizing at 58kg. She has since gained about 3kg of muscle while maintaining her lean physique. The carnivore diet has helped Jenny overcome numerous health issues, including her meat allergy. She now thrives on two meals a day, eating various meats but avoiding dairy. Her HNPP symptoms have significantly improved, and she maintains steady energy levels throughout the day. Jenny has become an accomplished ultramarathon runner, recently completing a 93km race in Thailand in 21 hours and 47 minutes, securing second place in her age group. This achievement earned her a priority entry into the 2025 series final in Chamonix, France. While she maintains a strict carnivore diet during training, she adapts her nutrition slightly during long races. Despite social challenges around her dietary choices, Jenny remains committed to her carnivore lifestyle, finding it has dramatically improved her quality of life and athletic performance. She continues to be monitored by a low-carb specialist and maintains excellent blood work results. https://www.facebook.com/groups/556693360056310 Timestamps: 00:00 Trailer and introduction. 03:31 Facing health challenges: back pain, tumor, fatigue. 08:07 Doctors investigated nerve issues, excited about findings. 12:21 Returned to eating red meat, passed test. 15:25 Stiffness during race led to dietary insights. 17:56 Switched to Carnivore diet due to issues. 23:20 How do you reconcile chef skills with carnivore? 25:33 Different dietary needs; abstain from triggers entirely. 27:43 Calmer, stronger, focused with carnivore diet. 32:48 I avoid sharing unconventional health habits. 33:28 Perceptions shift: diet choices impact weight loss. 39:16 Using carbs and MCT for race energy. 40:42 Earn running stones to enter race ballot. 44:46 Rural town perception limits healthcare advocacy. 47:37 Older individuals thrive on ketogenic carnivore diet.

Popular music changes all the time, but there's been one consistent element in practically everything released in the last two decades: Auto-Tune is everywhere. What started as a simple audio processing tool in the 1990s has become the dominant force in music. Artists are training to sing with Auto-Tune; songs sound like Auto-Tune. Like it or hate it, Auto-Tune is everywhere. And to be clear, most people like it. On this episode of The Vergecast music journalist and Switched on Pop co-host Charlie Harding tells us the story of Auto-Tune. (Disclosure: Switched on Pop is part of the Vox Media Podcast Network, as is The Vergecast.) It starts, of all places, in the oil and gas industry. It involves artists like Cher and T-Pain, spreads like wildfire throughout the music business, and quickly becomes so utterly ubiquitous that you probably notice when Auto-Tune isn't used more than when it is. As we barrel toward whatever the “AI era” of music will be, we also look for clues in Auto-Tune's story that point to what's coming next. We talk about the distinct sound that comes from tools like Suno and Udio, how artists will use and abuse AI, and whether we should be worried about what it all means. We haven't yet found the “Believe” of the AI music era, but it's probably coming. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

For the second episode in our three-part miniseries about the future of music, Charlie Harding, a music journalist and co-host of the Switched on Pop podcast, joins the show to tell the story of Auto-Tune. He walks us through how a simple plugin became such a recognizable sound in music, why both artists and fans gravitated to the Auto-Tune sound, and why Auto-Tune has continued to grow even through backlash in the music business. Then we look ahead to AI, and try to figure out what — if any — lessons we might be able to learn about the sound and culture of the AI era to come.
