What’s the purpose of the megathread? I’m so confused what’s going on with this community…

“Bilingual” is really hard to define.

I live in Taiwan (English is my native language), and have studied Chinese to be passably fluent. I can trick people into thinking I can follow advanced conversations, interjecting comments here or there (even though I’m mostly lost – just picking out the tidbits I do understand and commenting on them).

But am I bilingual? At the end of the day, it doesn’t really matter. What matters the most is whether your level is “good enough” to do what you want! In my case, I just want to be able to go to the store, buy things, and hang out with friends. I can read the newspaper, but I’ll never be able to read/write business contracts – but that’s not a goal of mine.

There are so many different shades of bilingual. Don’t worry about it… and just be as good as you need to reach your goals!

With great power comes great responsibility

I don’t cry when I chop onions. If I’m chopping dozens of them, everyone needs to get out of the kitchen because the air will get potent (but I won’t notice).

Going to college.

I grew up in a cult, and I seem to have suppressed most of my childhood. Of course, I have bits and pieces – like little flashbacks from my childhood days – but I don’t really have a coherent childhood story. From college onwards is when my life story makes sense to me.

I always have one with me in case I enter a shop that has a sign up asking patrons to wear a mask. I used to wear them religiously, but 3 years is enough. Although I respect everyone who still keeps their masks on…

Phone, keys, headphones, wallet, loose change, pen, mask, portable battery pack.

At least, that’s what’s in my pockets this very moment. Not including trash (random receipts, etc)

In simple English… A number is divisible by 7 if the difference between 2 times the last digit and the remaining digits is divisible by 7.

Examples:

• Is 14 divisible by 7? 4*2=8. 8-1=7. Check.
• Is 28 divisible by 7? 8*2=16. 16-2=14. Check.
• Is 182 divisible by 7? 2*2=4. 18-4=14. Check.
• Is 1323 divisible by 7? 3*2=6. 132-6=126.
  • Is 126 divisible by 7? 6*2=12. 12-12=0. Check.

OP, if I have misunderstood your reasoning, please correct me.

Why haven’t clothing manufacturers figured this out yet?

I wish my energy company had that sort of an app! I usually have to calculate everything manually using the rates included on the back of each bill I get.

Wait, pocket-less pants are cuter? I’m suddenly tempted to start looking at girls’ pants on the metro (except for the fact that will probably get me labeled as a perv…)

Excellent point. Thanks.

Thanks, this is the answer I was looking for. I’m trying to save money because we don’t have a lot. My wife is on board with saving, but she hasn’t done the math to see where most of our money is going.

I might need to back off a bit. I like to save, but this might be a bit much.

This should get you started:

import requests

# Fetch post from Reddit API
def fetch_reddit_post():
    reddit_url = "https://www.reddit.com/r/{subreddit}/comments/{post_id}.json"
    subreddit = "python"  # Replace with the desired subreddit
    post_id = "abcdef"  # Replace with the desired post ID

    url = reddit_url.format(subreddit=subreddit, post_id=post_id)
    headers = {"User-Agent": "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/58.0.3029.110 Safari/537.3"}

    response = requests.get(url, headers=headers)
    if response.status_code == 200:
        post_data = response.json()
        return post_data
    else:
        print("Failed to fetch post from Reddit API")
        return None

# Post to Lemmy API
def post_to_lemmy(post_data):
    lemmy_url = "https://lemmy.ml/api/{version}/post"
    version = "v3"  # Replace with the desired Lemmy API version

    url = lemmy_url.format(version=version)
    headers = {"Content-Type": "application/json"}

    # Extract necessary information from the Reddit post
    title = post_data[0]["data"]["children"][0]["data"]["title"]
    content = post_data[0]["data"]["children"][0]["data"]["selftext"]

    # Create payload for Lemmy API
    payload = {
        "title": title,
        "body": content,
        "community_id": "abcdef",  # Replace with the desired Lemmy community ID
        "auth": "your_auth_token"  # Replace with your Lemmy API authentication token
    }

    response = requests.post(url, json=payload, headers=headers)
    if response.status_code == 200:
        print("Post successfully created on Lemmy")
    else:
        print("Failed to post to Lemmy API")

# Fetch post from Reddit API
post_data = fetch_reddit_post()

if post_data:
    # Post to Lemmy API
    post_to_lemmy(post_data)
