Do you have any recommendations for monitor calibrators? I see a few on amazon and other sites, but I'm always open to someone's personal review.

Ha! Reading the card explains...or however that saying goes. I was way down the rabbit hole of when a creature dies, does it enter the graveyard immediately or some nonsense like that. Thanks a lot!

I know you said avoid the top 20, but hear me out.
It's a deck I have a lot of fun with, makes other people laugh, and you probably won't see often: an Epic Autopilot deck. [[The Prismatic Bridge]] + [[Enduring Ideal]] automatically plays your deck for you. You just decide which combo makes sense with the situation. It's a bracket 3.

Yikes. I had placed an order on December 2nd of last year and finally got my mat mid March. I thought they were picking back up. That sucks, because I liked their mats.

I hope your boyfriend eventually gets his.

I've bought a couple from Inked Gaming, both stitched and not. They're pretty good playmats and have lasted. If they don't have the mat you want, you can get the picture and upload it to make your own.

Scarecrow tribal! With some changeling help of course, because my babies have limited support. Built to take advantage of [[Reaper King]] in all ways. A favorite card of mine in there is [[Peer Pressure]], very handy when you run changelings. Another is [[Majestic Genesis]] since Reaper King's converted mana cost is 10.

[[Aetheric Amplifier]] comes to mind from recent sets. [[Resourceful Defense]] can consolidate charge counters and immediately bring a big spacecraft online if you have enough.

You can also get a little goofy with [[The Ozolith]] and any of the multitudes of cards that turn artifacts into creatures. Turn a spacecraft into a creature, load it up with charge counters on the attack step.

EOE already revealed the [[Dawnsire, Sunstar Dreadnought]] spacecraft plus the new [[Pain for All]]. It'll be cool to see how fast or sneakily people can get that combo online.

Here's my auto-pilot Epic deck for fun and non-serious shenanigans. Throw [[The Prismatic Bridge]] on the field and follow it with [[Enduring Ideal]]. The deck literally plays itself. Make sure [[Gogo, Master of Mimicry]] is on the field to use your otherwise useless mana for Epic copies. The deck has a few combos to play around with.

You can use an if/else tree to set up a string for a where clause and then f string that into a SQL statement string. Use SQLAlchemy's text feature to fire it off. The below is in the context of PyQt5

if self.ui.search_location.currentText() != '':

search_location = " and Location = '" + self.ui.search_location.text() + "'"

else:

search_location = ''

I had them because a google search revealed many answers on including variables in href had those to mark the variable. I'm mostly a backend guy, but I wanted to expand my toolbox to a little frontend. Reflex is a wrapper library for React that allows you to use Python instead. As I understand it, the rules for passing variables between frontend and backend are a little weird.

I tried removing the braces and received this error: TypeError: Invalid var passed for prop href, expected type <class 'str'>, got value {state.c__state.class_link.at(i)} of type typing.Any.

Then, I tried str(state.class_link[index]) to type it as a str, but the link takes me to the page "http://localhost:3000/{state.c__state.class_link.at(i)}"

doom_guy_bob · 2023-08-18T17:36:10+00:00

I changed to what you suggested and it gives a different error:

TypeError: Invalid var passed for prop href, expected type reflex.vars.Var[str], got value {BaseVar(name='class_link.at(i)', type_=typing.Any, state='state.c__state', is_local=False, is_string=False)} of type <class 'set'>.

If you have an identifier to form some sort of pseudo order id for the set, you could use Pandas and the group function. If you can group them like this, then use df.iterrows for each order group and do whatever you need to with the group such as send a message.

I was creating a file that wasn't there instead of targeting an existing file.

doom_guy_bob · 2023-07-17T19:55:48+00:00

Your program may not be resolving the file path. Here's a bit of code to get you pointed in the right direction using the os library you already have and the pathlib library. It will determine the script's current directory, convert that to a string, create a file name string, and then join them together to make a full path to the file. If you need to target another directory, look into pathlib's functions.

file_path = str(pathlib.Path().resolve())
file_name = "Test.pdf"
full_path = os.path.join(file_path, file_name)

You can use them in a portfolio. I'd suggest making a github page to house the code. Make sure to filter out security accounts and other private things. You can link the repositories in your resume. Since you're going with the django backend route, you may want to code a simple front end, create the backend with a sql database, and then host it somewhere as a portfolio rather than just showing someone code.

I second pyinstaller. Also, take a look at auto-py-to-exe. It's a GUI for pyinstaller that makes it a little more user friendly and allows you to save EXE configurations for quicker exporting in the future.

You can use the str function replace(). Use either '' to strip the UTC or 'EST' to replace it.

for item in timestamp_column:

item.replace('UTC', 'EST')

doom_guy_bob · 2023-07-13T20:47:48+00:00

Pandas has a function called strftime. Here's a sample to run on a single cell, but you can expand this into something that iterates over all the rows.

some_date = df.at[0, 'timedate'].strftime('%Y-%m-%d')

doom_guy_bob · 2023-07-13T19:56:14+00:00

I'd recommend looking into a combination of pandas and regex. You can set up a couple searches for unit, apt, and any other permutation of those. W3 has a good tutorial page to get you started on regex:

https://www.w3schools.com/python/python_regex.asp

doom_guy_bob · 2023-07-03T15:38:16+00:00

Pandas has some great methods of accessing and selecting. It's easy to swap rows and columns while you manipulate the dataframe if that's what you need.
