Wget command not found2/3/2024 I don’t recommand this but I just verified it will work… The frist example under How to Download a File with wget you’d run in a jupyter cell with the following: !wget You can find examples of using wget here. The exclamation point at the front of a typical command line command lets you run something you’d normally run in terminal in a Jupyter cell. ![]() Just put an exclamation in front of any wget command example you see. It is easy to use in your Jupyer notebook. Type the following in a Jupyter cell to get the help manual for this command line utility. You’ll note the one that got installed via conda is two years old and so much more recent than that one at PyPi. And you’ll note it isn’t well maintained as it hasn’t been updated since 2015 if you look at releases. If you search wget at PyPi there you do get a wget listed, but this isn’t what you installed via conda. (Or at least not the one you installed so far.) One way to learn which are Python and aren’t is if you could install it via pip and it is at pypi, the Python Package Index, like numpy or pandas then it is a Python package and you may be able to use import. It is a non-interactive commandline tool, so it may easily be called from scripts, cron jobs, terminals without X-Windows support, etc Per the Anaconda page for wget,the documentation for wget is at where it says Where did you find code telling you to type that? (Maybe from the poorly maintained project I reference later?) All of the sources are routing to 0.0.0.0 so it should prevent any browsing of the sites, which in turn should prevent any application vulnerabilities.That isn’t how wget works normally. I’m not interested in censoring the network per say, but stuff like that and shady ad networks are all over the place, and I wanted to block those at least. I was hoping that Suricata were serve the same purpose, but it doesn’t block content really, goatse, two girls one cup that sort of stuff. address=/domain-name/127.0.0.1Įcho "Config generated, $(wc -l < $GENFILE) unique hosts to block" ' $TMPFILE > $GENFILE # format file for dnsmasq. # Whitelist sites from blocking (add inside quotes, space-separated) # Blacklist additional sites (add inside quotes, space-separated) GENFILE="/usr/local/etc/dnsmasq.d/dnsmasq.custom" # dnsmasq custom config TMPFILE="/tmp/dnsmasq.work" # dnsmasq temporary file # Adapted for pfSense from Tomato WAN Up script v3.3 by haarp Here’s a copy of the bash script I’m trying to run. ![]() I feel like that may be a bit too far too soon, if anyone else has had this problem, or knows if indeed the solution is recompiling the kernel (i’d just re-install pfsense), please let me know.Īs a follow up, curl isn’t installed by default either. When i do some searching for that error I’m getting solutions saying I should recompile the kernel. Pkg: wrong architecture: FreeBSD:10:amd64 instead of FreeBSD:11:amd64 I tried installing it via pkg_get but apprently that’s been depricated so I tried using pkg install, but it wasn’t able to find it, then when I tried searching for it nothing came back.

Detroit free press endorsements 20162/3/2024 ![]() Without clear partisan differences between the candidates, there is potential for less stability of vote choice throughout the campaign, not to mention across elections. Primary campaigns remove a key heuristic of general elections from the voter’s calculus, partisan- ship. Since the other major candidates had dropped out, Michigan was effectively a two-candidate race. Entering the primary, Biden was leading in the delegate counts after a string of victories following South Carolina, but Sanders was still within striking distance. In addition, the race for the nomination was still competitive at this point. While other states had their primaries that day, Michigan was the largest state with the greatest number of delegates. In 2020, Michigan was fortuitously positioned (for our purposes) in the middle of the primary calendar, but also right before the necessary rescheduling and disruptions brought about by coronavirus. Moreover, there were a number of reasons to expect the nomination process to last longer than usual, including the last- minute backloading of primaries due to the pandemic, the potential for delegates to be dispersed among a crowded field, as well as the aforementioned reduction of control by party elites. While these reforms were meant to encourage participation, complications stemming from the coronavirus worked in the opposite direction. ![]() Accordingly, nine states switched from forms of caucuses to primaries, leaving only three states and four territories with caucuses in 2020. In addition, the DNC encouraged states to use primaries and make same-day or automatic registration available. Most notably, following the uproar from Sanders supporters in 2016, the DNC reduced the role of unpledged delegates, also known as “superdelegates.” The DNC did not eliminate the role of these party leaders unpledged to a candidate, but it prevented them from casting decisive votes on the first ballot in the event of a contested nomination. Second, the Democratic National Committee (DNC) reformed some of the primary process rules to enhance transparency and participation-not an uncommon practice since the McGovern- Fraser reforms (see, e.g., Polsby et al. The crowded field suggested that Democrats were confident in their ability to challenge Donald Trump in the general election -or at least in the importance of doing so. First and foremost, a record 29 major candidates sought the nomination, eclipsing previous highs of 16 Democratic candidates in 1972 (similarly motivated by another unpopular Republican incumbent, Richard Nixon) as well as the Republican Party’s 17 for the open seat in 2016. Beyond the COVID-19 pandemic that early in the season severely disrupted both the schedule and format of campaign events, the field of candidates and the voting rules were also unique. ![]() Yet even by these standards, the 2020 Democratic primary is a particularly interesting and challenging campaign to study for its novelty. All campaigns vary in terms of context and candidates. In many ways an unprecedented campaign is a redundant phrase.

Andy hurley2/3/2024 He went onto explain that in addition to the intensity fo the workouts, guys like Mark Twight really resonated with him in given his punk ethos. Looking for a functional fitness workout that was more sports-based, Hurley began working out with more regularity and by the time Fall Out Boy resumed touring after their 2008/2009 hiatus, Hurley was well on his fitness journey. He detailed how that ultimately segued into him being more conscious of his fitness, which led him to a chance encounter with Mark Twight of crossfit destination, Gym Jones. The exchange touched on the drummer’s clean lifestyle, being both Vegan and sober. Emphasizing his love for imaginative content, Hurley tied in his passion for fantasy gaming, comic books and even extreme music in a way that drew parallels to all three. He heaved praised on comic book writers like Grant Morrison, Jeff Lamire of Sweet Tooth fame, and Jonathan Hickman to name of few. Hurley gushed about his love for fantasy, comics and Star Wars. He even chimed in about other similar games like the sci-fi based variation called, Mothership. In fact, Hurley broke down everything for the layman, detailing how a D&D experience would go for someone new to the world like, Reynolds. The gaming discussion eventually segued into Hurley’s love for Dungeons and Dragons – which dominated the conversation for a healthy stretch as the guys got into the nuances of the game. Hurley explained that he set a goal to play through all of the Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest games – a goal he is still putting in work towards. While he did admit that there are certainly some existential issues that we will all likely have to deal with down the road, he explained that the pandemic really gave him no other option but to stop and find something else to do other than play drums and make music – so, he took up gaming. Given Hurley’s creative output and his involvement in so many projects, he discussed his take on the pandemic lockdown and confided that he actually loved the forced break it brought on. Fall Out Boy would eventually take off and change the trajectory of the guys lives for good. The two immersed themselves in the political hardcore sound and worked diligently on various side projects but found themselves in need of a fun, palate cleanser in terms of music. ![]() Hurley would go on to explain how his friendship with Fall Out Boy’s Pete Wentz really revolved more around their shared interest in punk, hardcore and metal. He explained how nerves and a bit of technical issues made for a bumpy start, but he managed to pull of the track in a way that did the jam justice.Ĭiting a healthy roster of Swedish bands ranging from Meshuggah to Entombed to Dismember, Hurley mentioned how the region is responsible for some of his favorite bands – which prompted the question from Reynolds as to how someone with such a passion for the heavier stuff ended up in one of the biggest radio rock bands on the planet. The drummer explained how loves the band and through mutual friends in the touring world, he got the opportunity to soundcheck a song from The Satanist with Nergal and the guys – live. Kicking off the conversation, host Craig Reynolds asked Hurley about his now famous soundcheck with black metal legends, Behemoth. ![]() In the thick of the Hella Mega Tour World tour along with Green Day and Weezer, Hurley guested on the most recent episode of The Downbeat podcast to discuss his passion projects including his tenure in hardcore bands like Racetraitor and the Vegan sXe band Sect with Chris Colohan (Cursed, Burning Love, Left For Dead), guitarists James Chang (Catharsis, Undying) and Scott Crouse (Earth Crisis, The Path Of Resistance), bassist Steve Hart (Day Of Suffering). The drummer details the importance of community in both hardcore and crossfit, his love for fantasy gaming and comic books, and how his dream festival would include an all-star roster of 90’s era Floridian death metal on the latest episode of the podcast.įor those in the know, Fall Out Boy percussionist Andrew Hurley is likely best known for playing drums in the arena-sized radio rock band, but he is also an especially vehement fan and contributor to the heavy culture.

Snl writer2/3/2024 So much of the show’s approach to satire, especially in the cold open, is just to mention one or two things that happened during the previous week without really saying anything about them. I am highlighting this tweet not to shame Tucker, but because I think it neatly crystallizes one of the biggest weaknesses of SNL under his leadership. Later, perhaps realizing that neither event shed any light on the other, or that it just plain wasn’t funny, or that maybe men still shouldn’t use that word, or D) all of the above, he deleted the tweet. Bee apologized, the right called for her head and the White House called for TBS to cancel her show.Ĭonsidering the ingredients at his disposal, Tucker did what many of us would do and have done: He mashed them into a single tweet, one that implied James was calling Smith what Bee called Trump. The phrase came at the very end of a segment about the Trump Administration’s separation of undocumented children from their parents at the border. An image of Lebron James’ exasperated response to Smith immediately became a meme.Īs you may also know, Online yesterday was abuzz with controversy over Full Frontal’s Samantha Bee’s use of the epithet “feckless cunt” to describe Ivanka Trump. It concluded with the Cleveland Cavaliers’ JR Smith neglecting to take a game-winning shot because he mistakenly believed his team would call for a timeout. So we can forgive him one unfunny tweet, that is, this tweet:Īs you may know, there was a basketball game last night. ![]() He has been nominated for multiple Emmy awards and won a Peabody award he is by all accounts a funny, successful guy. Tucker has written for SNL since 2005, before which he wrote for Tough Crowd with Colin Quinn, Chappelle’s Show, MADtv and The Chris Rock Show. He is one of Saturday Night Live’s four ( very unfunny number) co-head writers, along with Michael Che, Colin Jost and Rob Klein. One bearer of this burden is Bryan Tucker. And of those few, an even rarified-er few are selected to lead them-to wield their considerable judgment in determining which combinations of three things are the funniest of all. ![]() While countless hapless souls are consigned to doing three things again and again in dank bar backrooms around the country, a rarified few are selected to do three things at well-lit conference tables decorated with sandwich plates. So it makes perfect sense that only the most skilled comedians rise to the top. And when you consider how one joke typically has three parts all on its own, well, that’s when things really begin to multiply. In other words, a comic must do at least three things, which if you think about it is an awful lot of things. To complicate matters further, the modern comic must also have a belief system through which to filter those observations, that is, to judge exactly what is funny about them. Not only does it require a basic ability to pay attention to events happening around you, it also demands that you make observations about those events. The premiere also featured guest-writing credits for Dave Sirus (as a Weekend Update writer) and former SNL head writer Chris Kelly Kelly will return to write several upcoming episodes this season.Comedy is hard. Longtime SNL writer James Anderson, who has been at the show since 2000, was not listed in the credits for the premiere, but according to sources, he has not left the show permanently and will serve as a writer for season 46. In addition to the previously announced news that Anna Drezen has been promoted to co-head writer, this season’s writing staff is - much like the cast - very much the same as last season, with one new hire: Toronto native, Second City alum, and playwright Celeste Yim. Saturday Night Live’s 46th season premiered this weekend, and alongside three new cast members and a shiny new opening-title sequence, a couple changes were reflected in the show’s credits.

Both come into season and are harvested throughout summer. The only significant difference is that zucchini is dark green and yellow squash is, well, yellow! □ Ingredients neededįresh yellow squash and zucchini are the stars of this recipe.
