This just in: Women are aware of what's going on.

I guess I should have been specific. J Edgar was certainly a monster, he ran the FBI like his own private army and multiple presidents just let him do it.

Perhaps principled wasn't the best term I could have used. It was meant in terms of their philosophy of the role of government. There's no question that Herbert Hoover prioritized that over helping people.

The criticism will only encourage him.

His presidency will be remembered not for what he did, which was mostly good, but for what he did not do. His legacy will be viewed similarly to Hoover's. Both were principled men who, when faced with a serious problem, could not find it in themselves to deal with it.

If only he cared about his approval ratings.

Canada. I live on the border, been there more times than I can count, and it would be the easiest to move to.

Bread and circuses. But trashier.

If that were my husband, I'd be considering divorce. At least if I ever got out of the gulag.

I worked for one of those companies for many years. The print market is shrinking and has been since the early 2000s. When they managed to make a profit, it was always in terms of lower revenue than the previous year. Layoffs were the only way to offset that lower revenue. So the acquisition makes sense. However, at the rate things are going, it'll only be a few years until the combined market share is smaller than what either company has today. It's inevitable.

Undeletable files (lemmy.world)

I've got a couple of files (empty directories) in the Trash I can't delete. I own them, the mode is 777 and whether I use Empty Trash or use rm from the command line (with sudo or running as root) I get "Permission denied". I tried booting into recovery mode and setting csrutil to disabled but that did nothing. Any ideas? It's not the end of the world but every time I empty the trash I have to deal with the dialog box about not being able to delete them.

 

i have a format for note-taking in meetings that I currently copy/paste to use in new notes. I would like to be able to create a new, empty, note based on that format so I can skip the copy/paste step. I have Templater but it seems far more complex than what I need. Any suggestions?

 
 

Absolute JS newbie here. I am able to use fetch() to get JSON from a URL but I can't figure out how to do anything with that JSON outside of the fetch itself.

Here's my code (API key and GPS redacted):

fetch('https://www.airnowapi.org/aq/forecast/latLong/?format=application/json&latitude=X&longitude=X&distance=50&API_KEY=X')
        .then(result => result.json())
        .then((out2) => {     
            console.log('Fetch Output: ', out2);
        }).catch(err => console.error(err)); 

Any code that references out2 other than console.log() call gives an error that out2 is undefined. How do I get access to out2 anywhere else?
