This is a lot closer to who-must-go than to the gesture shown here. I mean, he’s a piece of shit but this is an absurd reach.

I tie my mouth into knots trying to pronounce world without sounding overly posh.

Do you remember Thomas Dewey? Governor of New York, Republican presidential candidate in 1944 and 1948? Or Adlai Stevenson, who was the Democrats’ fall guy to tank the guaranteed losses to Eisenhower. Or most candidates that lost an election more than 50 years ago that didn’t go on to cement their role in history somehow, like Nixon, for example. Kamala won’t be remembered as a loser, she won’t be remembered at all.

Edit: I just reread my comment, it comes off as much more aggressive than I intended it to (which is not at all). Apologies for that.

Frontrunner to be the Republican nominee for President in 2028

As if Trump will give up the seat unless he’s dead.

I have no love for the Labour Party, but are they actually trying to alienate their constituents as much as possible?

Does he plan on shooting back at 5:45 or what’s the plan here?

I would attend and demonstratively sleep on the table.

The name isn’t exactly uncommon. My girlfriend had a schoolmate named Kalashnikova, for example.

Fasces predate fascism by more than two millennia, both as weapons and as symbols.

The person linking Alan MacLeod’s post about the number of victims of the War on Terror is absolutely GOATed.

 

Short version: So, the gist of this is that I want to truncate list by numerical value and can't seem to do it. I've been looking for solutions by myself for a bit, but since this project is a bit time sensitive and I am a total noob, I've come to you for help.

Long version: I have a data set from a poll, in which answers are coded by 1, 2, ..., 7, 99 with 99 being the value assinged to people who did not answer a particular question. The data was provided as a .csv file, from which I was able to extract the answers in form of a list of the form

data = [ [ 2.0, 3.0, ...] ],

thus a list, which contains the possible values as floats within a list. To solve this problem, I tried to remove the undesired 99 values using the list.remove command, however, since data is a list within a list, I can't use that command and for some reason, I can't use *data.remove(99.0) either, as starred expressions are not allowed. Any ideas how to either turn data into something like

data = [ 2.0, 3.0, ...]

so the list.remove command can do its magic or how to truncate data as it is?

Thank you in advance.

Edit: Thank you, Hexbear, for being a helpful community even to total scrubs who might ask redundant questions that can be solved by a quick google search!

 

Seriously, if you can, just do it. I decided to work on my hip mobility and splits after a very long time and my god, I feel so much better. It relieved pain in my legs, back and a little bit of my desk-borne headache. If you have trouble getting started, find one particular stretch you would like to be able to do, preferably some tangible goal like a full split, and hyper focus on that.

 

More precisely, I remember reading that the Red Army had issued the death penalty for r*pists in its own ranks and would like an academic/“serious” source to corroborate this and possibly even how rigorously this was enforced. Thanks!

 

To clarify, this is about Lebanon, but the UNSC resolution that the US blocked yesterday isn’t even mentioned. xi-plz

 

Smdh my dick head

 

Just doing research over here. Also by "good", I mean quotable in an academic context.

 

Most of the historic record of the GDR has been set by FRG historians running victory laps and is based on anecdotal evidence at best, mythology at worst. A lot of people also attempt to equate the GDR with the third Reich (which is insane to begin with, but that's what people are taught here).

Preferred languages would be German and English. I could make Russian work, but not very well.

Edit: I know about John Green.

 

According to her it was only used a handful of times and rinsed thoroughly. Which begs the question WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?!

 

Alright, peeps, I want to build Linux on my new PC and need some help with that. On my old PC, I had kubuntu installed, which I liked (at least until downloading Skype fried most of my installers and rebuffed all attempts at deinstallation). When installing kubuntu, I had a lot of help (and by a lot, I mean my friend did like 90% of the work) but as I don't see them quite as often and I would like to be a little more self-sufficient this time around, I implore thee, Linux users of Hexbear. So here are some general questions:

  1. Which distribution is right for me?

I have some experience with MINT and kubuntu. I really liked the KDE environment of kubuntu and generally preferred it to MINT. My friend uses archlinux, but they also warned me that arch requires a bit of expertise and isn't necessarily user firendly. It looked really cool, though. I am willing to learn, but I generally suck with computers. I will mostly use my PC for basic programming tasks and data analysis (mostly python using jupyter, but I would like to learn some basics in C++), similar work related tasks (using TeX-Studio, the pdf editing functions of programs like okular, Libre office on rare occasions etc.) and the occasional Minecraft session.

  1. Where can I find useful resources for learning about a given distribution?

Keep in mind that I suck absolute shit at computers. I know how to access/use the basic functions of the terminal and how to superficially navigate the PC, but anything beyond that is magic to me.

  1. Y'all got any good wallpapers?

A FALGSC themed wallpaper that doesn't burn your eyes out due to being perdominantly red would be cool.

 

Gaza has 2 million inhabitants, 42.3% of which are 14 and younger. Anyone else a little bit worried?
