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.

That sounds like something Milo Rossi (minimunteman) says.

You can tell this is AI because the subject here would only ever be caught on his knees for Putin.

"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.

Well obviously. If I was looking to go out of state for college, why would I pick a state where healthcare is becoming significantly harder to get in a country where it's already prohibitively expensive and complicated for many?

Conservatives' collective fear of catching gayness is cute, but attending school in states with regressive healthcare can be life threatening and should absolutely be taken seriously.

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.

💯 Playing through Red Dead Redemption 2 and there is so much detail and it's beautiful.

...but then when I'm trying to pick out herbs and plants and it's all so beautifully rendered I don't know what plants and flowers can be harvested and which are just there to be pretty. Dead Eye is a lifesaver for that.

That desaturated-with-highlighted-items vision is a design choice that does solve a problem even in realistic worlds -- even if it's just to show players something the character can see but is hard for the player to spot.

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.
