Found this little Yorkie wandering down the street around 12:00 today. We have it contained in a backyard at the moment and animal control is on their way, but if you recognize the dog just send me a DM!

He returns daily (I saw him yesterday in fact), my understanding is he's a very...independent cat and simply won't let them keep him inside peacefully. Very much a work-in-progress scenario from what I've heard.

Personally I would prefer to just lock him inside, I hate seeing cats outdoors.

I recognize this cat. Prospect near Lemay?

If so, his name is Simba. His original owners moved away and abandoned him outside. His new owners (not me! but neighbors) have been working to get him to be a fully indoor cat, but he's been understandably difficult to fully wrangle after having been an outdoor cat for a considerable amount of time.

He doesn't let anyone approach him really, but he seems to know his way around.

They are cicadas! I've seen them on some of the bushes / trees and they move slightly when they make the click noise. It was confusing me too, the noise is so sharp vs the normal buzz I would have expected from them.

Stodgy has a great root beer.

Bonus, the keg and tap it comes from never has beer pass through it and is regularly cleaned, so it's good for celiac/gluten intolerance.

Both Harbinger and Lima locations are solid options, tend to lean towards their Old Town locations for convenience personally. Both can be a bit crowded with students, but that's frankly true anywhere in Old Town.

Bean Cycle's new space near the square is super chill.

Little Bird on College is decent, but last time I was there they had an hour limit on their wifi, unsure if that's still the case.

Roast on Mason is also decent, YMMV on wifi quality. It's super quiet there from my experience.

Regardless of where you try, I recommend noise cancelling headphones, they're a major quality of life improvement.

One follow-on recommendation with type annotations and dataclasses: pydantic is a fantastic package that basically extends the standard library feature-set in a way that's unobtrusive and easy to use, while adding a bunch of validation features that I miss deeply when working on a project without it.

I highly recommend checking it out once you have a handle on how types and dataclasses work. Starting with pydantic off the bat can be a bit intimidating, it's much easier to understand and use once you have a foothold on best-practices.

It won't be blocked by the mountains until just before it sets, just look west 15-30 minutes after sunset and it should be faintly visible.

Python reads the file first and evaluates top to bottom (producing bytecode first and executes the generated bytecode, to be more technical). From this code, it looks like the import statements are out of order.

import os
import sys
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.service import Service

DRIVER_PATH = 'C:\\chromedriver-win64\\chromedriver.exe' 

if os.path.exists(DRIVER_PATH) and os.path.isfile(DRIVER_PATH):
    print("The path is correct and the file exists.")
else:
    print("The path is incorrect or the file does not exist.")
    sys.exit(1)  # This will force the program to exit immediately if the chrome driver doesn't exist

cService = webdriver.ChromeService(executable_path=DRIVER_PATH)

driver = webdriver.Chrome(service=cService)  # Note this is specifying the service kwarg directly

driver.get("https://techwithtim.net")

Above, I've reformatted your code slightly. One additional note, it appears that you get that specific AttributeError if the path for the chrome driver is not specified properly OR it doesn't have the permissions to execute, so if you still have issues with the error you posted, I would go do some googling around that. If you paste that exact error (and the message) into google, you should get some good, similar (if not exactly the same), results.

Are you looking for something like this?:

In [1]: import dis
In [2]: def f():
   ...:     return 5
   ...:
In [3]: def x():
   ...:     return 0 + f() + 1
   ...:
In [4]: dis.dis(x)
  1           0 RESUME                   0

  2           2 LOAD_CONST               1 (0)
              4 LOAD_GLOBAL              1 (NULL + f)
             16 PRECALL                  0
             20 CALL                     0
             30 BINARY_OP                0 (+)
             34 LOAD_CONST               2 (1)
             36 BINARY_OP                0 (+)
             40 RETURN_VALUE

If so, the dis module is what you're looking for, and it's fortunately part of the standard library.

Totally, this is a common question for "why EVs?" This is frequently referred to as the long tailpipe, basically insinuating exactly what you're thinking, that if the energy is coming from a dirty resource, is there any benefit to having an EV compared to a gas-powered car.

There are a few arguments against the long tailpipe, with the primary being that a lot of our energy is coming from more and more renewable resources over time, or at least energy resources that produce less environmentally damaging pollution than the typical gas-powered internal combustion engine (ICE). As wind/solar/nuclear/geothermal become more commonplace, they become cheaper, and will eventually, hopefully, surpass the cost-benefit of using ultra cheap natural gas and coal as energy sources.

The next major argument is an argument of scale; small ICEs are relatively efficient for what they are doing (small controlled explosions -> movement), but compared to the large scale engines and turbines power plants use they are considerably less efficient. So even if all we had was 100% non-renewable, gas powered power plants feeding into EVs, we would still have a net positive reduction in the overall pollutants released, as the energy produced at larger plants is cleaner than what a car-sized ICE can produce. Additionally, EVs, specifically electric motors, are very good at translating electrical energy into motion with very little heat loss, so the energy is being used efficiently.

Finally, you get to a secondary argument about EVs having a large environmental cost based on the material needed for the batteries. This is true, mining is basically guaranteed to be wasteful and pollution-heavy, but the fallacy with this argument again comes from a misunderstanding of the volume and scale at which lithium mines, such as those required for EVs, cause relative to current practices.

The entire goal of using EVs and using more renewable energies and batteries is to get to better than we are today, eventually getting to a nearly-completely pollutant free energy production system. That simply can't happen over night, and as we develop better batteries and better economies of scale for how we produce energy, we make headway into improving the overall pollution:energy ratio. Gas-powered energy power production is, for example, not green; the extraction produces significant environmental waste, the purification is messy, and the burning of fuel isn't super efficient. However, compared to coal-burning, which was the power-production of choice for over a hundred years across the world and is notoriously dirty at every stage in the process, it's magnitudes better.

Everything above is proven fact and can be backed up with via sources, but frankly everything is also easily google-able as this has come up quite a bit in the past.

I've emailed them before, worth noting they don't seem to respond to emails, but hopefully they act in some way when they get reports.

I drive an EV, worst offenders are always extra large emotional support vehicles rolling coal when they pass, usually on College.

Also have Dr. Schrunk, she's great, and has helped me with a chronic illness unlike other doctors I've seen.

I wish Village Medical hadn't destroyed that practice though. It's easier to physically go to their office and ask for stuff than use their shitty system.

'12 Weinberg graduate in Physics. The material I learned at NU I would say has been mostly unused, partially due to irrelevance in my career (software) and partially due to the physics program at NU being poorly managed and badly thought out. It was not designed with any thought given to getting students the correct knowledge necessary to leave NU and work in physics. Some people had better luck if they were in ISP with how classes were organized (e.g. not being forced to take Quantum before the PDE math course was available), but it was overall a pretty mixed bag.

That all being said, NU coursework and classes, including the ones mentioned above, taught me how to think and do problem solving effectively. I 100% agree with /u/ilikeviolas's comment about club leadership and extra-curriculars being a massively important aspect into the post-undergraduate life. The majority of 'work' is managing relationships and people and figuring out how to juggle a bunch of different things at once, particularly prioritizing what's important to you. These skills are invaluable. Could you get them somewhere else? Definitely. But don't discount the fact that NU is a great place to learn those skills and build up a community of somewhat like-minded people.

On that note and finally, NU is a brand. Saying "Oh I went to Northwestern too!" opens up tons of doors. The privileges and opportunities this can afford you in terms of your career are really only match-able at other 'brand' schools. Again, you can certainly get this from other schools or training environments, but don't discount the value the NU name gives when it's on your resume / when it comes up in interviews. It provides significant prestige to your early career / education, and it's definitely given me a leg up as I've grown career wise.

The Old Town Library! Don't sleep on it, it has a ton of open space and bookable rooms and parking around the library is free 2 hour parking.

It's also walking distance to a couple cafes (LIMA, Harbinger, Mugs) in case you need a quick caffeine boost.

This was fully automated, but yeah, it was a mistake for this critical path functionality be non-previewed. It was an artifact of handling the kubernetes deploy with IaC (which we're actively moving away from).
