  1. So you voted Trump? Good choice.

    My vote was wasted anyhow (CA), so voted for the actual best candidate...Vermin Supreme.

  2. Re:Symptom on The First Rule of Microsoft Excel -- Don't Tell Anyone You're Good at It (wsj.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Simple answer: Excel with sheets linked to database tables.

    You only have to show the good ones, once. A database is the place to store any data big enough that you have to filter and/or sort before looking. IMHO anything more than about 100 rows belongs in a table, not on a sheet.

    It also helps to demystify databases. If an accounting type can setup a worksheet, he can setup a table. It won't be a good design, but who cares? Hopefully it will have an index.

    You won't want to give them access to any database server that's 'live'. Build them their own. They will make mistakes. But don't let them run local, or the data won't get backed up.

    Everybody at facebook is a genius?

    Nonsense. Their staff has a distribution of skills. Some are as you describe, some are air thieves who lucked into the only good job they will ever have.

  5. What would the media do to someone who accused the Ds of finding Ford by dragging a $100 through a trailer park?

    That video really should be on heavy repeat.

    You say 'crappy' without a hint of self awareness.

    Maybe, as long as they can continue to roll bonds into new ones.

    Which means the fed has to continue buying the leftovers at every auction, which is a 'circular economic perpetual motion printing press'.

    You could have said the exact same thing in the 1960s.

    Only morons hang onto their childish idiocy. Lots of things change, but everybody does/pays their taxes, every year. Only a few a blind enough to think they are getting value from it.

    You assume the SS tit will be there for GenX (and later). I call bullshit. That's going to be all kinds of fun.

    Having managed some black out drunks in my day, it's usually pretty obvious once you talk to them.

    'Mad as hell' but can't remember why is typical. Best bet is to let them talk in circles until they blow off the steam and go to sleep.

    Same as all 12 women that accused Bill Clinton?

    I bet you'd defend Carville for saying the Rs found Jennifer Flowers by 'dragging a $100 through a trailer park'.

    The same (authoritarian shithead) is basically true for Kagan, Sotomayor and Ginsburg. At this point, we're fighting a holding action to preserve the bill of rights, such as it is.

    Which is why I'm all for 'Hillary for Prison'. Trump isn't in on the MAD, so he might trigger the dirt dump. But you know the RNC has people in the admin to try and prevent it.

  16. I agree, if the parties were reversed, everybody's opinion would also be reversed.

    Nobody has accused the Ds of finding Ford by dragging a 100 dollar bill through a trailer park, like Carville did the Rs about one of Clinton's rape victims.

    Every high schooler that drinks, drinks like an idiot at times. The pattern where I grew up was not everybody got embarrassingly drunk at every party, but someone got stupid drunk at every party and the rest kept they from choking on puke or going to jail.

    The pukers aren't the alcoholics, the pukers are the amateurs. The alchies already knew how to maintain.

    Implicit in the accusations it the assumption that any 4-5 teenage boys would be down for a gang rape at any time. That's bullshit. Take 5 random HS dudes, if there is one potential rapist in the group, it's a statistical outlier. The other 4 would almost certainly kick his ass for trying.

    Undergrads aren't much better, but it's an old stat. A large majority of stupid undergrad drinkers grow up after college (or during). Otherwise the world would be 75% alcoholics among college grads, even higher among the flunk outs.

    No. The Ds have to get fed their own shit back. I'm looking forward to it.

    You ignore the dozen plus women accusing Bill Clinton of _rape_.

    This ends when the Ds and the Rs both empty their vaults of dirt on each other. The real problem is they both are playing a limited 'show fight' as they are in mutually assured destruction and have been for decades.

    We need all new political parties. When that happens the media can START to clean itself up.

    If the political parties were reversed, all the opinions would be too.

    The Ds don't believe all accusers, that's bullshit. They believe all accusers of Rs and disbelieve all accusers of Ds.

    It's actually pretty simple. If people are stronger than the robot, the robot doesn't have to be in a safety cage.

    Obviously not true if the robot is wielding a chainsaw or anything else dangerous.
