So, there is a method for finding if a number is divisible by 7.

In simple English... A number is divisible by 7 if the difference between 2 times the last digit and the remaining digits is divisible by 7.

Examples:

  • Is 14 divisible by 7? 4*2=8. 8-1=7. Check.
  • Is 28 divisible by 7? 8*2=16. 16-2=14. Check.
  • Is 182 divisible by 7? 2*2=4. 18-4=14. Check.
  • Is 1323 divisible by 7? 3*2=6. 132-6=126.
    • Is 126 divisible by 7? 6*2=12. 12-12=0. Check.

OP, if I have misunderstood your reasoning, please correct me.

I write a blog on Medium.

You need to have a ton of content to make any amount of money. After writing 200 articles, I started making a consistent $100/month. Not quitting my day job any time soon, but I have a lot of downtime at work, so it's a productive way to pass the time.

Oh, and the $100/month is pretty consistent. I took a month off from writing, and they still sent me money for the read time on my old articles. The pay is low... but my boss wouldn't send me a small stipend if I decided not to show up for a month. So, I really can't complain.

Using Python, How can I create a bot/script that let's me re-post a subreddit's post to Lemmy?

This should get you started:

import requests

# Fetch post from Reddit API
def fetch_reddit_post():
    reddit_url = "https://www.reddit.com/r/{subreddit}/comments/{post_id}.json"
    subreddit = "python"  # Replace with the desired subreddit
    post_id = "abcdef"  # Replace with the desired post ID

    url = reddit_url.format(subreddit=subreddit, post_id=post_id)
    headers = {"User-Agent": "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/58.0.3029.110 Safari/537.3"}

    response = requests.get(url, headers=headers)
    if response.status_code == 200:
        post_data = response.json()
        return post_data
    else:
        print("Failed to fetch post from Reddit API")
        return None

# Post to Lemmy API
def post_to_lemmy(post_data):
    lemmy_url = "https://lemmy.ml/api/{version}/post"
    version = "v3"  # Replace with the desired Lemmy API version

    url = lemmy_url.format(version=version)
    headers = {"Content-Type": "application/json"}

    # Extract necessary information from the Reddit post
    title = post_data[0]["data"]["children"][0]["data"]["title"]
    content = post_data[0]["data"]["children"][0]["data"]["selftext"]

    # Create payload for Lemmy API
    payload = {
        "title": title,
        "body": content,
        "community_id": "abcdef",  # Replace with the desired Lemmy community ID
        "auth": "your_auth_token"  # Replace with your Lemmy API authentication token
    }

    response = requests.post(url, json=payload, headers=headers)
    if response.status_code == 200:
        print("Post successfully created on Lemmy")
    else:
        print("Failed to post to Lemmy API")

# Fetch post from Reddit API
post_data = fetch_reddit_post()

if post_data:
    # Post to Lemmy API
    post_to_lemmy(post_data)

"Bilingual" is really hard to define.

I live in Taiwan (English is my native language), and have studied Chinese to be passably fluent. I can trick people into thinking I can follow advanced conversations, interjecting comments here or there (even though I'm mostly lost -- just picking out the tidbits I do understand and commenting on them).

But am I bilingual? At the end of the day, it doesn't really matter. What matters the most is whether your level is "good enough" to do what you want! In my case, I just want to be able to go to the store, buy things, and hang out with friends. I can read the newspaper, but I'll never be able to read/write business contracts -- but that's not a goal of mine.

There are so many different shades of bilingual. Don't worry about it... and just be as good as you need to reach your goals!

Peanut butter and cheese.

Peanut butter and pickles.

Peanut butter and raw onion slices.

Peanut butter and tuna fish.

I've tried peanut butter combined with the strangest pairings I can imagine. They've all been excellent.
