If you want to perform different operations on different line patterns, you can use multiple matching/operation statements in awk. Just put them one after the other. So for lines starting with --, print from character 42 to the end of the line and for lines starting with |, print the second column.
awk '/^--/{print substr($0,42)} /^| /{print $2}' data.txt

7. The Code of Conduct for United States Judges, however, DOES NOT APPLY TO MEMBERS OF THE SUPREME COURT. The lack of formal ethical guidelines for the Supreme Court is one of the reasons why public trust in the institution is rapidly declining.

All my life I've wanted to learn to code but nothing has ever clicked for me or stuck and made me actually dig in to do the work. I was recently messing around with Swift Playgrounds and that's fun but it still didn't mentally latch. Can anyone here recommend a good place to start?

A new Tusker beta build is out. Among other things, it includes improved timeline state restoration (as noted before, on first launch, the current position will be lost). And for VoiceOver users, it fixes a crash when scrolling through the local or federated timeline.

If you’re new here (or if you’re not), I highly recommend following the #introduction tag. At least for a little while. It’s a great way to find people with similar interests. And not just the ones you might immediately think to search for!

Topology is witchcraft

Just remembering how Jack Kirby was inundated by threats and complaints from Nazi sympathizers after the publication in 1941 of his famous cover showing Captain America punching Adolph Hitler.

No reason.

WSJ: "Activity on Twitter’s ad manager, a subdomain of Twitter’s ad platform sites that specifically hosts those creating or monitoring ad campaigns, declined nearly 74% in October from a year earlier, according to the firm’s data. In November, visits fell 85% on the same basis—the largest ad traffic decline since Twitter’s change of hands."

When an individual steals a few thousand dollars in merch, major retailers demand they get sent to jail

But when retail execs steal millions in wages from employees no one says the execs should go to jail

The worst that happens is the company pays back the money + a fine

I need help. I've been trying to find and follow Black People in the sciences, history, politics, education, and other specialties.

I've failed miserably.

Can Mastodonians point me to (for starters) Black People in epidemiology and virology? Thank you!

In 1933, Nazis led torchlit mob into the square and looted the library of the adjoining -Universitat. 40,000 people cheered as they burned over 20,000 books by mainly Jewish, communist, liberal and social-critical authors. Many years later, a panel of glass was set into the ground to mark the spot. It’s a window. Leaning over you can look into a room below. The room is white, lined from floor to ceiling with plain shelves—an empty library. The sort of world we’d live in if the fanatics had won.

I like people who take a knee to protest injustice, rather than those who want to shred the Constitution.

I'm looking for someone who is an expert on how industrial chimneys disperse pollution. How they calculate the heights required, what speed the pollution needs to be pushed up, etc.

Musk’s anti-Fauci tweet is my breaking point; leaving the other app behind so might as well do an #introduction!

I’m an Associate Professor of #Immunology at the #UniversityofWashington in Seattle. My lab studies programmed cell death in the context of cancer, infection and autoimmunity. Check out OberstLab.org for more info.

Outside the lab, I spend as much time as I can outdoors: Biking, rock climbing, hiking and #birding with my wife and our Irish Water Spaniel Rufus. What a good boy!
