  • The supreme court, after such an amendment miraculously passes:

    “Well actually, this sentence doesn’t mention the president of the United States in particular, so it means every president of every company ever. But a company president doesn’t have pardoning powers, so this makes no sense. So this amendment is invalid!”


  • Hmm, I follow the package’s readme and only get invalid command errors.

    Gotta install the pip dependencies.

    Oh but first you need to create a venv or everything will be global. Why isn’t that local by default like with npm? Hell if I know!

    Ah but before that I need to install the RIGHT version of Python. The one I already have likely won’t do. And that takes AGES.

    Oh but even then still just tells me the command is invalid. Ah, great, I live CLIs. Now I’ve gotta figure out PATH variables again and add python there. Also pip maybe?

    Now I can follow the readme’s instructions! Assuming I remember to manually open the venv first.

    But it only gives me errors about missing pieces. Ugh. But I thought I installed the pip dependencies!

    Oh, but turns out there’s something about a text file full of another different set of dependencies that I need to explicitly mention via CLI or they won’t be installed. And the readme didn’t mention that, because that’s apparently “obvious”. No it’s not; I’m just a front-end developer trying to run the darn thing.

    Okay. Now it runs. Finally. But there’s a weird error. There might be something wrong with my .env file. Maybe if I add a print statement to debug… Why isn’t it showing up?

    Oooh, I need to fully rebuild if I want it to show up, and the hot reload functionality that you can pass a command line argument for doesn’t work… Cool cool cool cool.



  • Everyone loves Bernie.

    But dang it the man is 83. He should be enjoying the last years of his life in retirement. It makes me sad to think he still needs to be working in politics.

    He’s as old as Trump, who is already too old for this shit, will be at the end of his term.

    Maybe there should be a hard limit at 65 or something for politicians. Both to keep out people in whom dementia is clearly starting to appear and to let old people frickin’ rest.
