How do I use Automations in the MacOS version of Shortcuts? Does the MacOS version not have the same feature that the iOS version does?

I've mostly used shortcuts on my iphone, and just started making some for my macbook so I can have some automations here too. I made a simple shortcut that sets my brightness to 33% and turns on night shift. I want this to run every day at sunset, which is easy to do on iphone using the automation tab. I can't seem to find an Automations section in Shortcuts on MacOS. I also googled it and just found articles covering 3rd party automations apps instead of showing how to do it natively in Shortcuts. Is the MacOS version of Shortcuts missing the Automations feature that's on iOS?

How do I fix this hole/chipped paint and put up a new towel hook?

This is at my parents house and it has been like this for years, possibly over a decade. This was a towel hook in the bathroom, and years ago the hook fell off the wall, pulling the paint with it, exposing two layers of old paint and even chipping to the bare drywall (I think). I'm not sure if it had wall anchors or not. Eventually my sister got sick of having no hook and added this crappy stick-on hook which barely holds a washcloth let alone a full towel.

I want to finally fix this for them and add a new hook or ring, but I am not very handy and also want it to be as simple and quick of a job as possible. My thinking is that I would spackle these holes, pull off this sticky hook, and paint over it all once it dries. I doubt we have the original paint color but I know paint colors can be matched with a chip from the wall. Then add a new hook above or below a little so I'm not drilling back into the same place where it's failed before. But I actually have no idea if that's the right way to fix it and I don't want it to fail again.

This is my design for my first attempt at a multiblock print. I'm trying to figure out how to turn this design into two guides for carving my two blocks. I'm not sure how opaquely ink covers other ink and what the best practice here is. I basically see three ways to do this:

  1. Black over green. The green layer can be looser and the more refined carving of the black covers it up. This seems to make most sense, but I'm not sure if you will be able to see that there is excess green ink under the black.
  2. Green over black. Same idea but the other order. I don't know if green would cover black as well as black might cover green.
  3. Carve both fully. If you're not supposed to layer ink like that and have each layer fully carved to its final appearance, and the print order wouldn't matter since they'd fit together like a puzzle. This seems like a lot more work though and has to be registered more perfectly.

For reference I am using speedball water based ink. I know it's not very good ink and plan to switch to caligo safe wash when I run out of my speedball.
