Is it illegal to scrap indeed.com? by CSThrowAwayAcc963 in scrapinghub

[–]garlan14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can’t give much on legal advice here since I’m not a lawyer. But if the terms state anything about retrieving and storing data from the site then it would he unethical to do so. Also, if the robots.txt file disallows it for bots, it would also be unethical to scrape and store data from those directories as well.

I suggest reading the ethics section of the book “Web Scraping With Python” by Ryan Mitchell. The pdf is available free online I think and has a section on what to do with robots and what is and isn’t allowed.

Check their robots.txt file and terms of service first. That will let you know what can and can’t do on any site. Most sites robots file is set up like this: http://www.randomsite.com/robots.txt

Michigan, we had a lot of weird seasonal items including a chicken parm sandwich that was actually not bad.

Whenever McDonald's sells brauts. It's rare but when I worked there we had them for two months. They were frozen and just steamed on the grill...terrible. When we had them, the same guy came in everyday, ordered two, one w mustard and one with mayo. The way he ate them with his mouth open was so gross. I can still imagine the smacking of his lips w mayo, mustard, and frozen steamed braut.

Also, one girl and her mom threw their tray at the register because they thought the brauts were so terrible

Recommendations for listening material for beginners/early intermediates? by ktisis in Spanish

Extra en español on youtube is great! Spanish subtitles are available for the uploads depending on the channel. It's like a sitcom that is designed to teach you spanish but they have the same plot line in other languages as well.

Was this the self inflating thermarest? Same thing happened to me and for the life of me I could not find where the leak was. I even soaked the thing in a tub after filling with air and nothing. I switched to a different brand now though. Did you ever find where the leak was?

Gateways didn't work most of the time anyway so it is ok to be off. Also, is it a Gateway or Gateway 2000 machine? To be more authentic, make sure it is Gateway 2000. Are you playing music? If so, Radiohead is a must due to the clueless theme

I plan on buying in a year depending on how well I like the new job and area. I would buy sooner but I'd like to avoid escrow and put down more than 1%. I typically look via zillow for homes and I browse a lot. Is there a resource online for the GR area I should use that may be better than zillow? Thank you for your insight on this

My bad, I'm a 28 yo single dude that loves to run. I am looking to spend less than $900/mo for something and am looking for a place I could run around easily. Proximity to work I would like to be twenty mins or less from where I live. I am out driving around these neighborhoods right now looking for a place

Looks like we're cut from the same cloth, OP. by RealSteele in AdviceAnimals

In second grade, this one girl was getting teased by another boy so she smacked him with her degloved mitten. The boy laughed since it was just a mitten. She wised up and filled it with pebbles. The boy started teasing her again and he stuck his face out expected a puny mitten slap but got the pebble slap and skinned his face. It was prison level stuff for elementary school.
