You could create different backgrounds, other than rich, and still make the stories pretty similar. It’d still be different though. I don’t know that you could change any major factor of a character and argue that they aren’t different.
If it’s a link to an external site, redirecting to local won’t really do anything useful. I still feel like I’m missing something. I’ll give it a last try.
If I start a local super basic webserver:
python3 -m http.server 8000 2>&1 | tee -a logfile.txt
so that I’m running a server on localhost, port 8000 creating logfile.txt, I can do something like this on the file:
sed 's|"http://\([^/]*\)|"http://0.0.0.0:8000//1|'
which should rewrite a url from:
http://foo.bar/testing/link
to
http://0.0.0.0:8000/foo.bar/testing/link
Now if you click on that link, it won’t do anything except give you an error, but:
$ cat logfile.txt
127.0.0.1 - - [27/Mar/2026 00:12:49] code 404, message File not found
127.0.0.1 - - [27/Mar/2026 00:12:49] "GET /foo.bar/testing/link HTTP/1.1" 404 -
so you’d now have a log of all attempts which would be easy to clean up.
It’s like that man or bear situation, but the US Gov’t or some hypothetical rando Iranian Nuclear Suicide Bomber?
I must be missing something here, because sed should be able to do it. Something like:
echo '"http://foo.bar/"' | sed 's|"http[^"]*|"http:injection|'
"http:injection"
Do you have an example of what you have and what you want?
I agree most of the time, but there is at least one notable exception.
Must be some python hang up, because I regularly open a file from a terminal with mpv <options> <file> & exit and it doesn’t kill the mpv process when the terminal exits. As far as the volume, there’s this scrip that does what you want. I haven’t tried it out, but looks pretty basic.
It’s just normal asshole main-character behavior. See ripples of that behavior across society these days.
I can’t remember if I’ve seen a house without a garage and/or driveway.
I think that’s a completely valid concern.
Neither? After Vietnam, the US doesn’t have the stomach/naivety to put up with that again. The US isn’t on a war economy. There aren’t two other massive countries supporting and supplying Iran. War isn’t waged that way anymore. It’s not going to be Vietnam, and it’s not even a semi cool war. It’ll go down as as distraction (hopefully not the distraction) from the criminality and depravity of the Epstein class. Iran will remain a power in the region and the world will have yet another reason not to trust the US.
I swear I click on these posts just about every night. And every single time I ride this rollercoaster:
Lately I’ve had to add:
Then I usually start falling down a hole of thinking about the ongoing climate collapse, social problems,…and so on.
Had the same experience. I ended up having my doctor write a prescription for wegovy pills and am just paying $200 out of pocket. I figure I’m at least breaking even by eating less. Only been a month so far.
It wasn’t clear if that is just a blanket rule for all countries or not. It would have been funny if they made up a kit where it was a more accurate map of Ukraine, but only came together with 3 or 4 athletes standing together in the right order.
So, the story goes that the US is developing anti-drone weaponry that they want to test.
People pretending the US is still a country of laws. Cute, but depressing too.
As do the courts quite often.
Well…thanks. I guess. Now I know. Two little tidbits that I will try to forget.
I suppose if you’re selling used cars or trying to make it as a door to door salesman.
