I am no expert, but I have used Python in a professional environment, and helped on board a Python newbie to build out his first project.

It would be helpful to know what your environment looks like (what OS you are running, Python version, terminal interface – are you running cmd, powershell, terminal) and which steps prompts the reported error messages.

Starting from the first time running Python using a Windows computer, the first steps should be

Launch Powershell as admin and type in the following commands:

set-executionpolicy remotesigned

winget install python

mkdir python

cd python

python -m venv scraper

.\scraper\Scripts\activate

Following that you should be able to use pip to install more modules or packages. I have Visual Studio Code as my IDE, and that means from there I can also run code to open the text editor to write whatever code I intend to run. Be sure to save it to C:\Users\youruseraccount\python If your scripts are saved to that folder, you can run them from powershell by just typing in their filename. Any time you run scripts, open powershell and type cd python and then .\scraper\Scripts\activate Hit enter, then type in the name of the script you want to run.

This information dump is not the most detailed, but it should get you to the point that you can run your scripts.

Yo, remember when Disney gave EA exclusivity to Star Wars licensing, and for the duration of that exclusivity contract they rebooted one classic online multi-player shooter and then made a sequel that was one of the worst received games of the year and set the record for the highest dislike ratio on YouTube prompting Google to remove the dislike counter?

Apparently the Disney board doesn’t. Maybe someone should remind them.

Not even any tie-in games for the sequel movies, just a DLC map.

“whether the women like it or not I’m going to protect them.”

I see where the problem is. They simply misheard them. What he actually said was “I’m going to molest them.” Easy mistake.

Bartiromo asked Trump whether he was “expecting chaos on Election Day” if “you win.” “Trump suggests he’ll use the military on ‘the enemy from within’ the U.S. if he’s reelected,” said the PBS headline over an Associated Press story. That one does not even superficially make sense, since Trump would not yet be president in Bartiromo’s scenario.

So this guy says “I’m going to order the military to attack American citizens if I’m reelected” and Reason is out here saying that headlines expressing concern about using the military for political revenge are fake news because this interviewer asked what he’d do on Election Day? He literally said that he would send the military after “the enemy within” in response to her question. Reason out here lying about the context of his answer because the senile old fascist can’t wait until inauguration to get his hands on the military. Probably would be good for the MBFC to re-evaluate Reason’s factuality rating.

It’s a weird strategy to show up and explain how one team operates without rules and lies about everything, but it’s the other guy that’s the problem. I can see that you’re one good faith fella.

Cool story, bro (or sis, or comrade, or whatever, idk you). Was it the Democrats 40 years ago that discarded ages-old decorum, stared down stare decicis, and said “nah, that ain’t for me,” to then threw out established case law, casting doubt on the legitimacy of 1/3 of the co-equal branches of government? Oh, no? It wasn’t? It was a group of far-right so-called “Christians” put on the SCOTUS by Republicans?

Yeah, that’s certainly how I remember it happening, and, you know, objectively true, so thanks anyway.

Oh you’re trying so hard to build a strawman! How adorable.

Roe was established case law. Reproductive rights were settled. Blaming Democrats when the actions of Republicans baselessly dismissed it is moronic.

Democrats did this by not codifying

This kind of gaslighting should not be tolerated. Everyone take a moment and block that troll.

That’s like saying that the burgler that bypassed your locks by smashing a window is fully justified because you didn’t put cages over the glass. Reproductive rights were protected by 50 years of precedent. Roe was established case law for decades and was overturned by a court that rejected how the judicial branch was working and has worked for centuries by ignoring precedent, accepting a case on weak standing to challenge it, and arguing that the established case law was wrong on shakey arguments.

Don’t let right-wing nuts lie to you about objective reality.

I think the Zelda Oracle games were pretty rad. Easy games to play, and for the truly committed you had cross progression between the two games to complete quests across Seasons and Ages. The two games had completely different maps and dungeons to explore with different items in each. They were a dual release that weren’t just the same maps with slightly reshuffled enemies like the Pokémon games were. I remember trading my copy of Seasons to my friend for his copy of Ages and then checking in with each other to see where we were and if either of us had discovered any secrets that we hadn’t found in our respective playthrough.

Shit, that’s a bad look for Disney. The idea that someone could sign up for a 30-day trial to some product and completely lose their right to a jury trial for life against any and all companies associated with the parent company is absurd.

The attorney was right to describe that as preposterous. And if the court cedes and tosses the trial, it sets a chilling precedent against consumer rights.

This probably one of those fake job postings I heard about.

I would be willing to bet that it is a Ghost Job. I sympathize with that struggle. I’m sure I have applied to a couple of those recently, too.

I found that many ghost jobs stay up for a while, so what I started doing to find leads was utilize search engine operators to find recent postings. Something like: (site:greenhouse.io | site:workday.com) after:2024-07-24 "system admin" That should find “system admin” jobs posted on workday and greenhouse, commonly used as internal job boards, posted in the last couple of days.

You could even add more job boards to the list by using site: between the parenthesis and separated with bars to expand your search. Or you could change the after statement to today to find very fresh jobs to try to find posts less than 24 hours old and be among the first applicants.

That trick (or maybe just my persistence with an overwhelming portion of luck, idk) managed to eventually get me something new, so I’m hopeful it wasn’t a fluke and it can help someone else, too.

Best of luck.

My mom died a decade ago, and my dad about two years ago. Neither were great, and to a certain extent, their passing left a bit of relief that I was no longer responsible for them. However, with them gone, there is no longer a chance to fix those relationships. They are both dead and my relationship with them will forever have been shitty.

It is sad to think about those times when my dad would tell me he wanted to try to be a better parent, but I’m the end, he never followed through. I don’t look back and think about how he doesn’t have any more chances to fulfill those promises, I see it that he can no longer break that promise to me that he would try.

I know that my parents would not change, they would never take responsibility for how their choices hurt others, they would always continue with their selfish behaviors, and they would never be the parent that every child deserves. Some people can’t be fixed.

I understand your feeling of relief.

Looks like this 404 Media report caught some attention, but it looks like Cox Media Group was lying about what they are/were able to do.

I also didn’t want to sit through 40+ minutes of podcast, so I found a writeup on their site about a press release from Cox Media Group making some bold claims that they have since backtracked on.

Conservatives. Shitting their pants to own the libs.

Don’t let trolls bring you down. Some people just are not happy without making someone else sad.

While I personally do appreciate the level of detail and amount of options provided in this reply, the more straightforward and longer-term solution is to eat the rich.

could hurt pedestrians and cyclists

I dare you to convince me that anyone still buying Tesla would not see that as a benefit. That’s going to be the number one selling point of this thing after articles like this make their rounds.

Why are they censoring the truth?

Oh, that must be really embarrassing, but…

graphic images and disinformation

Maybe work on your reading comprehension to make sure you don’t embarrass yourself like that again.
