Substitute-Bot

VIM-style search & replacement for Reddit comments

Substitute-Bot is a combination of a bot for Reddit that provides VIM style search + replace functionality for comments and also a front end web component (what you're reading right now). Written in Go. Redis is utilized very lightly for keeping a running list of posted comments.

Syntax is VIM-like - s/SEARCH/REPLACE or s#SEARCH#REPLACE. Post a reply to another comment with this syntax and this bot will process your request & post your requested replacement.

Une fois qu'une armes est légalisée, son attrait par les jeunes est beaucoup moins important car il n'y a plus d'interdit - y a qu'a voir la consommation de cannabis des mineurs aux pays bas : elle est 2x moins importante qu'en France, alors qu'il est très facile de s'en procurer.

Ik vind dit een beetje een valse vergelijking. De uitspraken van Yesilgöz richting Timmermans en GLPVDA zijn veel harder en onredelijker dan andersom. Daarnaast is de VVD al bijna 40 jaar aan de macht, dus is het niet gek om hen verantwoordelijk te houden. Ik ben het er mee eens dat ze allebei dichter bij elkaar moeten komen en de samenwerking toch op moeten zoeken, maar volgens mij is vooral de VVD dat constant aan het frustreren?

I'm sorry for your loss. I know this must be a difficult time for you and your family. There is alot of positivity and joy about the hostages getting released (as there should be) but I can't help but think about all the people in Israel (like you and your family) who will have to deal with the trauma of watching the murderers of their loved ones get released into the streets of Gaza and Judea and Samaria, where they will very well go on to kill more people and inflict more pain on others. Its truly a terrible injustice, and it will no doubt be a terrible time for them. I don't blame these people if they are against deals like this.

Logically, I would hope that after deals like this Israel begins to use the death penalty on Palestinian terrorists. But who knows if that will ever happen.

There's also a growing population of childless dog owners that are extremely vocal about how they love their lives without kids, love having money, etc etc

Often times these people have a background where family members/friends push them or judge them for not wanting children, or feel pressured by the media.

I think it's a combination of resentment and self righteousness. They think all of us that say we love our kids and enjoy being parents are brainwashed or just had a "megadose of oxytocin, so it's not real love" (this was a true response someone gave). Like sir or Madam: all true love starts with a megadose of oxytocin wtf do you mean? What do you think happens when your dog's lovingly gaze into your eyeballs?

It's very important that people understand how and from where pharmaceuticals are currently supplied.

This is a gift link.
https://www.nytimes.com/2025/04/04/health/drug-**Trump Tax**-trump-manufacturing.html?unlocked_article_code=1.qE8.UbtX.d8lrdbxyCdJa&smid=url-share

Of note: Pfizer's catalogue is not currently sufficient to supply all or even most of the medication types used by the American people.

At first, Trump bleated that he'd put 25% Trump Tax on medications sourced from outside the US. That threat freaked out many pharma companies, and several of them wanted to propose introducing Trump Tax gradually. That was in the face of a 25% tariff. He's now croaking about a 150% tariff on medications-GENERICS-to get pharma to relocate to the US. But I don't believe he really wants those companies to manufacture anything here because he's just stupid enough to believe he can capture the entire industry.

Meanwhile, foreign companies don't make more money just because its customers have to pay 150% USA Trump Tax on their products. Pharma companies would immediately need to take a hard look at their pipelines and possibly decrease production, resulting in shortages of drugs across the whole spectrum.

You're nicer than me haha, I tell them (copied in part from a recent LI message):

A guiding principle of my career as a professional is that I value employers that trust me to perform my job duties within circumstances that allow me to do my best work. I hold myself to a high standard and would not want my contributions or professional development held back due to a hybrid policy.

I really want them to know and to feel that forcing in-office is hurtful, not just to me but to them as well.

Okay between this one and the last I think it is worth a detailed explanation of what a crystal structure is. There is a conventional cell, reduced cell, and the atomic composition.

This is none of the above. Your first post was the reduced conventional cell. Folks don’t like to look at this since it doesn’t show clearly the structure. The conventional cell is more common. This is a repeated cell which is okay at showing the structure but doesn’t clearly show any structural information. This is why the most common way to show this is to have an extended lattice (what you used) with a box to show the conventional cell(not reduced cell).

All of this is needed to have the same kind of understanding that you get from looking at a molecule. You get to see where the atoms are and their local environment both inside and at the surface of the crystal.

Finally DONT USE LLMS TO WRITE THE DESCRIPTION. Wikipedia is literally the first result if you google and it is way more accurate than ChatGPT.

F#7/E

Jazz musicians generally aren't fazed by enharmonics and would prefer to see simpler notation even if another version might be "more correct" in a music theory class setting.

Personally, I'd always prefer F#7 to Gb7 because I'd prefer to think in the key of B than the key of Cb (even though Cb is a perfectly reasonable key).

Just a thought, but you could consider reaching out and donating it to some cybersecurity academic or hobbyist hackers to pore over and see if there's anything interesting in there to discover, I imagine the potential to take a peek at some israeli spyware in the wild could interest them.

China is going to lead the new energy era. Unless the EU has some miraculous breakthroughs. The US is basically ceding leadership or even being a real player. As a result all the new money and growth will not be in the US.

The old money and old energy players will get fatter with subsidies, bailouts, or whatever else they need. Does this really seem like a good path?

Kolari sells converted cameras, but you can also buy any used DSLR or mirrorless and have them convert it for you. When I bought mine I first rented an IR Fujifilm from lensrentals. Figured out what I liked and didn't like. Researched Kolari's lens hotspot database, as well as which cameras have internal LEDs, to figure out which one brands to avoid and which lens selection was best. Settled on a Sony a7iv, bought it used from B&H and sent it to Kolari for conversion.

Definitely convert to full spectrum and not just straight IR, so you're not limited. I bought several of Kolari's filters. IR chrome, 665nm, and 720nm are my favorites. They sell B grade filters for cheaper, which I've also bought, and they seem flawless to me.

I got the filters that attach to the end of my lens bc I don't like dealing with drop-in filters and the clip-on filters which magnetically attack directly over your sensor scare me. I also bought 100x100mm filters and a filter holder for them, and step-up rings, so that I don't have to buy *every size filter * for whatever lens I want to use.
