A few random thoughts that haven’t been mentioned yet:

Tot is a menubar app for quickly storing and accessing notes, and there’s an iOS version it can sync with.

The Unarchiver is a handy tool that supports a lot more formats than the system does, including rar and 7zip files.

1Blocker is the Safari adblocker I use. Works well on Mac, but noteworthy is that the iOS version has a “firewall” that uses a local VPN profile (doesn’t actually connect to an outside service) to block trackers in Safari as well as native iOS apps.

If you work with text in almost any capacity, BBEdit is still essential 32 years later.

Acorn and Pixelmator Pro are both great image editing apps; Apple just acquired Pixelmator though, so it’s not clear what’s going to happen with it in the long term.

Transmit is a great file transfer app, Panic makes absolute top tier software.

As far as I can tell, there is not. I really wish the feature would be added

On a tangent, there are no less than two ska songs about the bone wars

Squirrel Girl

I really like it! I recommend starting out by looking at the episode descriptions to listen to investigations that sound particularly interesting to you, then if you want eventually going back and catching the ones you skipped

Oh No Ross and Carrie is a lot of fun! “The show where we don’t just report on spirituality, fringe science and claims of the paranormal, but take part ourselves. We join religions, undergo alternative medical treatments, and hunt for ghost, goblins, demons, and deities. If it has an extraordinary claim attached to it, we’ll check it out.”

They do a large variety of investigations, including things like ear candling, trying ayahuasca, going to UFO conferences, joining Scientology (a particularly long but very interesting series of episodes), meeting a local flat earther group (and even helping them design and run experiments), be trained in performing exorcisms, etc etc!

I love how their latest album is like half ska

I thought it ended in a good place. Around the parasite game arc, I thought the writing fell off a cliff for a while, but came together at the end, and overall really liked the show.

The Slackers have a song, Peculiar, about the book, too! https://youtu.be/_DGjHDBtrjI?si=k7ORAkCKG5nfc3UX

Sure! So, “.cbz” and “.cbr” files are literally just a folder of images in zip or rar files respectively, with the file extension changed so they will open in a comic reading app instead of being unzipped/unrared when you click on them. So as long as the filenames of the zipped images are in the correct alphabetical order, all you have to do is change the “.zip” at the end of the filename to “.cbz” (or “.rar” to “.cbr”).

Not as much the punk aspect, but Ballyhoo! has Sublime vibes, reggae and ska
