because i’d previously been scraping by hand and i’ve never heard of that tool before right now. i regret nothing; i learned a ton. i’m curious how they got around the cloudflare captcha issue.

i wrote a fairly complex script in perl for scraping fanfiction off the internet, extracting data from it, and formatting that data into beautifully and consistently formatted epubs to read on my ereader.

that’s cuneiform, actually. it isn’t chiselled into stone, but rather, is pressed into wet clay with a stylus. the more you know!

i’m a fry cook, so my work doesn’t care what OS i run.

people can, and often do, use things that they hate.

hopefully by then it’ll all be sorted by whatever fix they implemented before 2038.

i think the implicit assumption is that you aren’t running 5e. in ose, two magic missiles tops out at 14 hp.

what would be the alternative? to always execute if the condition is true, but sometimes execute it even when false, for funsies?

that all makes sense to me. how would you want it to work?

why would he waste perfectly good ivermectin on a horse he’s just planning to run over, beat, and then dump in central park anyways?
