“the department put out a request seeking the public’s help to find the knife”
Translation: "We'd love someone to come forward with a knife and claim it's from the crime scene, so we can cover our asses."
The police don't want you to know this, but the knives at crime scenes are free. You can take them home with you. I have 458 knives.
they expected future generations to update the constitution as necessary to protect the republic from those who would seek to undermine or replace it.
The problem with this is that it requires people in power to vote to limit their own power. And while there have been some, certainly, who have been willing to do so, getting a supermajority of people willing to do it is simply not something I see as remotely possible anymore.
Stupid sexy raccoons...
Hi - I'm a Linux newbie.
I don't tell other Linux users that I use linux because it almost always leads to a bunch of questions that I don't know the answer to. So let me assure you, that awkwardness is on both sides of that conversation you're describing.
Did the teacher at least spend time discussing it, or did they just lay it on you and let you sort it out for yourselves? Either way, that's pretty early!
Flowers for Algernon, that was thought provoking but also way too heavy for a 7th grade English class.
Yeah I mean, the towtruck owner was not without fault by all I've read but even so, the guy stole a truck and caused a lot of property damage and that's a jailable offense no matter the circumstances.
I feel like maybe you aren't actually familiar with the issue you're commenting about here. Maybe you should read the article and watch the video before defending this guy.
The problem is really that republicans keep putting up the worst possible candidates and policies. If the choice was "A sort of bad candidate or another sort of bad candidate", we'd all happily vote third party and if the slightly-worse-but-not-appreciably-so candidate won as a result, it wouldn't be a huge hurdle and over a few election cycles we could maybe effect change.
Instead, in that scenario, it leads to Trump and Project 2025 and I'd love to hear your explanation of how that helps us get progressive candidates into office, because I just don't see it.
I'm a "single issue voter" and that "single issue" is that I don't want another Trump presidency, so I'll vote strategically to prevent that from happening, even if I'd much rather have someone else.
Well, given his problem with Harris is that she supports abortion rights, he can just get fucked along with his opinions.
I'm sure there's a really simple answer to this, but it's a surprisingly difficult problem to search for.
I've got a RichTextBox control and I'm trying to write text that includes the letters "ff", but they don't show up. This is the specific code in question:
for entry in suffix:
desc += "[color=darkgray]Suffix (Tier: %s, Quality: %s%%) 'of %s'\n[color=royalblue]" % [entry.tier, entry.quality, entry.mod.name]
This is what it ends up printing:
If I change one or both of the Fs to capitals, they both display fine; it's specifically two lowercase Fs that're problematic. They also display fine elsewhere in the same textbox; it's just this line specifically that's problematic. Even tried escaping it but it didn't like that, either.
Most of the settings on the RichTextBox are default; the font has a lowercase 'f' character; I haven't done anything weird with the font size, or style, or anything else.
I'm tearing my hair out here. Please tell me this is just some stupid bbcode tag or some such.
Edit: For anyone finding this later:
It's a ligature (ffi) that the font is missing a glyph for. To solve the problem: On the Import tab, choose the font you're using, click Advanced, and under Metadata Overrides, expand OpenType Features, click Add Feature -> Ligatures, add whichever option is appropriate (discretionary or standard ligatures), then disable the option. Reimport the font, and the issue is fixed!
Is it a testament to the power of the organization, or the lawlessness of the city that one can wear their regalia in broad daylight unaccosted? It's anyone's guess.
