Trump backs out of debate as camp says it's 'inappropriate to schedule things with Harris'
  • He is afraid of strong, smart women. He is afraid of people who can laugh. And he is deadly afraid of ending up losing the debate and the vote to a black woman, the kind of person that should in his mind be as inferior as a bug.

  • The US is Politically to the Right of [Other] Democracies
  • US Democrats are the equivalent to our countries conservatives, and US Republicans are basically our rightwing/neo-nazi party pedant. It is noteworthy here that this Republican-equivalent rightwing party here is under active surveillance by the national security agencies for being a threat to our democracy.

    And people still wonder why the US f-ups their people up and down.

  • Florida condo owners face unretiring or selling homes after being hit with $100,000 in special assessment fees
  • While it is generally a condo problem, this is a very special Florida condo problem. But not the only one - The elemental insurance people are running away, and the (officially in Florida not existing) global warming will increasingly cause trouble. And of course there is the political landscape, too.

    Beaches, drinks, and sunny weather can only make up for a certain amount of the trouble that is brewing. In other words: Florida is nice for a holiday, but for heavens sake don't move there...

  • Brain Overload
  • Remember going to the circus when you were young and they actually still had real lions? And do you also remember the lions trainer entering the cage with a four-legged wooden chair? That's because those legs would totally confuse a lion - he can't decide which of them to attack.

  • Trump’s Massive Deportation Plan Echoes Concentration Camp History
  • I know, I know. He drinks the coolaid right from the source. Still, most Americans would never recognize it. Do you still have a history channel program? Might be the best of times to get some of their productions into main stream TV.

  • Far-right trolls have launched a racist crusade against Kamala Harris
  • Well, the to old, sleepy, and dementia "arguments" have lost their grip, so, lacking any actual arguments, they moved on to racism to fight Harris. That is something their clientele knows and can relate to...

  • Extracting Data from Stud.io 2.0

    My problem: I want to create an inventory of my parts. For that I need data I could look up on BL. Sadly, my storage has no internet whatsoever, so I need an offline solution.

    I have found the LDRAW library inside the Studio installation, which gives me the parts and their design. They contain the name of the part, too, but only as a comment, and I have yet to verify if this is consistent. I think I could rig a software that renders me the picture as I need it for my application, so that's that.

    But there are other files inside the Studio installation, and I wonder if there is a way to find the following information from this:

    • BL Category (Like "Brick" or "Plate Modified")
    • LEGO part numbers and colors that exists for a certain design
    • Parts Weight

    I don't need any rapidly changing data like price or availability.

    Has anyone here done this, or knows a software that does this?

    Wrote my first longer Python program

    Sounds easy? Well, it should have been. I'm not talking about a "Hello, World!" (although it is more or less on the same level for me). The goal was to write a set of three MQTT clients that properly talk with each other and interact nicely.

    So I had to learn Python and MQTT on the same day. Should not be an issue after 40 years of programming. But it quickly turned out that the Python library/package for MQTT on Ubuntu was heavily outdated (1.6), and did not supply all the functions the documentation and examples (2.0) asked for. Using pip3 didn't work, as it complained that the package structure was maintained by the OS. In the end, I had to virtualize the python3 system and pip3 the 2.0 package there and run it.

    After about three hours, I had the clients working as they should. Yes, I think MQTT is a good base for the next project.

    Is there a community for the engine behind wikipedia (mediawiki)?

    I was just wondering. There was or is a mediawiki group on Reddit, but so far I could not find one here.

    Anyone else thinking that the new Eldorado Fortress is too expensive?

    The new Eldorado Fortress is listed at €214.99. Is it just me, or is this set much to expensive for what it is? When I saw it, I thought "Maybe €150, €170 tops", and was shocked when I heard the real price.

    I know (who doesn't?) that LEGO is not cheap, but this is not a Starwars set, it is 100% their own IP.
