  • This is probably my first time ever using it for an appropriate purpose as this team's technical docs are destined for the press (and digital distribution). They just have no idea how to software, so I was brought in to build bridges between and ultimately simplify all their tools.

  • https://pdf2docx.readthedocs.io/ seems to fit the bill. I can't vouch for it.

    PDF is such a curse. I say this as a person currently tasked with deploying new mysteriously complex enterprise PDF conversion software for technical documents. The rabbit hole is so deep.

  • Happened to us with one of our old ladies who passed a couple years ago.

    She was walking around all hunched for a day or so, yowling at everything. We got lucky though, the vet used a rectal thermometer and that unclogged the pipes in quick fashion!

  • The money and activism was from his PAC, Leaders We Deserve. He just can't also advocate from the inside anymore, which is a shame.

    It seems probable that he had already made his point internally and was facing the grind of bureaucracy with the competing agenda.

    I know Ken Martin (DNC chair) is a shrewd operator, so with what little hope I have left for a progressive party takeover, I want to believe this signals tacit acceptance if not approval. This might play out something like this: As Hogg's primary challengers meet polling thresholds against incumbents, we would see a "retargeting" of DNC funds from the incumbents to spend against Republicans elsewhere. They can't actually cut off incumbents for what should be clear reasons (literally politics). And let's be real: Ken will also be considering the post election power of successful incumbents; i.e. any ramp down will take into account the existing party power of the incumbents.

    I'm not hopeful that we'll see any big power brokers fall. I am hopeful that he can get several loud progressive voices elected to start reversing this rightward ratcheting.

  • I'll nominate an underdog: Alphaville.

    Basically unknown, jerks you back and forth between genres, simultaneously art house and amateur, and the main character is named Lemmy Caution. Sure he's a government agent, but he's the good guy out to destroy the mind control computer on a distant planet by pitting daughter against father.

  • Agreed. I realized at some point that if I said I supported choice, it must never be my choice.

    Abortion should be a decision between the person seeking the abortion and their doctor/care provider.

    That's it. No hedging about rape or incest, number of weeks, the reason one is being sought, or the manner of the procedure.

    I support access to abortion.

  • They can depreciate these assets over their useful life, because unlike your soggy flesh sack, these are capital expenses, not operating expenses.

    ... For now. I'm sure there are libertarians that think you should be able to sell yourself as the depreciable asset you are.

  • Off the top of my head, I think sudo journalctl -xeb -1 should give you some useful error output for the previous boot (after rebooting from a failure).

    There's a --list-boots option if you've rebooted a couple times since but aren't entirely sure.
