Each House may determine the Rules of its Proceedings, punish its Members for disorderly Behaviour, and, with the Concurrence of two thirds, expel a Member.
I can easily see the DNC having Newsom put Shiff in the seat if Feinstein dies (she's not going out any other way). Then Shiff would be the incumbent and the DNC and Dem voters usually go for the incumbent. Otherwise, they'll end up with Porter. She makes waves and the boys at the top, they don't like waves.
It’s such an uncomfortable truth!
Some might even call it an Inconvenient Truth!
People decry most "both sides" arguments for legitimate reasons. But this geriatric pandering takes place on both sides. It is absolutely disgusting to witness.
A friend of mine is a musician. About a decade or two ago I went over to his house and he said that he had to get a new fan to fix his computer. I asked him what was going on, so he turned it on and I heard that tick-tick-tick of the read head. I had to let him know it was his hard drive. He had a lot backed up, but not everything, and not the stuff he'd been working on the past couple weeks. Just a bummer. But he did set up a backup program after that.
Then came Ronald Reagan and the dark times.
That about sums up the situation.
I configured the newsboat rss reader for my youtube subscriptions, but you may want to configure another reader that allows you to download/watch videos. An alternative to @cow@lemmy.world's javascript code, you can go onto the homepage of a youtube channel, open up the page source and search for "rssurl". That will give you the rss feed for the channel.
A lot of readers can do this automatically. It really is nice to watch videos without any of the suggestions or ads. Also, if you use mpv to watch the videos, you can install a sponsorblock script that does away with the paid promotions in the video.
If only all the moron maga types realized when they were being fed bullshit.
The Republican party has led the initial charge, with a series of claims about extraterrestrial life that, until recently, would have been seen as career-ending.
LOL, more distraction from one party's inability to do their freaking job. It's funny that 1) alien visitors cross unfathomable distances using what must be technology far, far, in advance of anything we have, yet "crash" and 2) These "crashes" only happen in the US, or the US quickly swoops in to take all evidence of this from foreign countries.
tl;dr Americans are so self-centered and narcissistic it's painful at times.
The Constitution says that a person can't be under 30 to serve in the Senate. Is that saying that there aren't any sub-30 year olds who would be great Senators? Why is one arbitrary limit OK, but one on the other end of the range suddenly undemocratic? That just makes no sense to me.
pdfimages is what you want, I believe. It's in the poppler-utils package in Debian.
That just brings me back to starting the compile, getting something to eat, doing chores, and whatever else. Then when it was finally done, booting it up only for it to not boot because I forgot some checkbox. Repeat a couple of times. Nights getting the thing working. And then on the next kernel release, trying to make sure I remembered all the checks because it didn't let you export the current config back then.
I've got over a decade on you, and if anything I'm further left and more pro age-limits than I've ever been in my life.
We already have age limits at the lower end. Why are people so against age limits at the upper end?
It's so fucking easy to do so. Even run it off a rented host.
That would be a pretty basic bash script, but as others have said, really not recommended.
You can also check out https://github.com/hnhx/librex I've used one of the listed sites several times and it's been acceptable.
It would be better if he introduced some legislation that said if you partake in child abuse, through interstate underage sex trafficking, or don't report or do anything about sexual abuse taking place in sports that you oversee, that you can't be a Congressman. Wish in one hand, and shit in the other.
It would be crazy if they actually get the votes to change The Constitution for this. I can't see it happening. But I've said that too many times and been wrong over the past almost decade or so.
This is probably not the right place, but I figured I'd give it a try. I've been trying to copy this website so I could have offline access when tooling around the Channel Islands. I could (and probably will), just copy/paste whatever info I need for my little trips, but the fact that I can't copy it ass over is annoying the hell out of me. I've tried variations of wget -r ... as well as httrack with no success. Anyone have any idea how I can get this?
Any idea for what to use as a media manager? I'm getting ready to go on a small trip and I would like to be able to import all my videos/pictures from an SD card and have them filed based on the meta data. At least by date. I've always done this manually and it's not awful, but there has to be a better way.
A lot of people haven't heard of the at command, and I just figured I'd post up a little bit about it. I use it as a semi-alarm clock type reminder.
Structure of command the way I use it:
echo "notify-send -u critical -t 0 'YOUR URGENT MESSAGE'" | at "2pm Jun 18"
I actually wrote a tiny function so that I don't have to remember the -u critical -t 0 part. That is to keep the notification box from timing out. Now tomorrow (June 18th) at 2pm, a message box will pop up with the text "YOUR URGENT MESSAGE".
There are options for running commands (like cron, but you don't have to edit, then delete your edit after running). It is great if you don't want to mess with cron, or another utility for a quick reminder.
My quick little function looks like this:
notify_me () { if [[ $# -ne 2 ]]; then echo 'Usage: notify_me "message" time/date' 1>&2; echo ' make sure to enclose message in quotes' 1>&2; echo " also enclose date if it's more than just a time" 1>&2; return; fi; echo "notify-send -u critical -t 0 '$1'" | at "$2" }
So say I have to remind myself to call the wife when the work day is over. I'll do something like:
notify_me "Check with the ol' ball and chain" "4:45pm"
I'm sure if you wanted to, you could make a very quick zenity (or whatever you like) gui for it, if that's the way you roll. Now I'll get a nice little pop-up 15 minutes before I check out. Tiny little things like this are why I enjoy the command line so much.
For more uses, check out the man page, or the tldr. It's not complicated and I find it useful.
