But other than those facts you overlooked, you make a GREAT point, creimer.
You forgot the part where Republicans refused to go to conference (regular order, which is currently being ignored by Republicans today), shutdown the government, and, two weeks later, accepted the exact same budget deal that they would have gotten if they went to conference with Democrats.
Don't worry. The Republicans will soon talk to the Democrats to get the debt ceiling and continuing resolution pass to avoid a government shutdown on their own watch.
The real question is, why does any of this matter?
I've gotten quite a few requests for this script. It's a shame that Slashdot doesn't offer the functionality for users to download their own comment history.
Let me check... $1,000+ in merchandise this past weekend... not bad for links that nobody clicks on.
[...] while claiming you're going to buy a yacht [...]
Citation, please?
I know which way I'd go if I were you.
I'm here to stay. Especially since you ACs have convinced me that I could easily make coffee money while reading and posting as I normally do. You have no one to blame but yourselves.
Someone on Slashdot complained that my script was taking to long to fetch, parse and save each page. So I rewrote the script to use a concurrent queue for each phase that launches 16 threads. Since 16 was the maximum number of threads that could launch without the web server shutting down the connection, I used that number for all the queues in the pipeline. It takes 30 minutes to process 733+ pages (11,000+ comments).
A computer scaping will read all, causing a heavy load making the website performance poor.
Depends on how the web server is set up. When I run my Python script to scrape my Slashdot comment history, 16 pages can be requested at the same time. More than 16 pages, the server shuts down the connection.
Doesn't apply to what I'm doing. This is standard legal boilerplate to cover Slashdot's collective ass from legal liability.
Also look slashdot.org/robots.txt
Doesn't apply to what I'm doing. My Python script isn't a web crawler and I'm scraping my own comments. If you look at the bottom of each Slashdot page:
"Comments owned by the poster." I'm just recovering my own intellectual property that I freely shared with the Slashdot community.
If you seriously believe that I'm violating the Slashdot TOS,
file a compliant with management. However, considering the shit that Anonymous Cowards get away with, I wouldn't hold my breath.
B: Creimer's still waiting for the coffee money to roll in. He's focusing on making that Little Debbie money, first. At 25 cents per delicious, chewy Oatmeal Cream Pie, he should start making enough to buy 2 or 3 a month, soon!
When I get my June earnings at the end of the month, I can buy three cases and still have enough change for a skinny vanilla latte.
All you need to do is find a website with a permissive TOS, say, Slashdot, create a Python script to scrape your own comments, sprinkle Amazon affiliate links in various posts, and then re-post past links whenever possible. Won't be long before you start making "coffee money" each month.
You did go through a phase a couple months back where you called people "fags" and "ladyboys."
My Python scraper script only found two references to "fags": one was a reference to cigarettes and the other was the exact comment quoted above. As for ladyboys, what does this have to do with your mother?
I've never experienced this white male discontent that became so popular after Trump got elected. Then again, I grew up in a multicultural Silicon Valley. I don't have a problem with getting on public transit and hearing a dozen languages other than English. I've never been prevented from getting the tech jobs that I wanted. The only time race became an issue was when Cisco only had vegan pizzas at company events to avoid offending the Indians, leaving us meat eaters on the sidelines to go without.

I find it easier to be upbeat in the face of negativity while pissing of my trolls at the same time.
But other than those facts you overlooked, you make a GREAT point, creimer.

Sure, I believe you. Maybe you should post a pic with proof of that on your blog, creimer. Then maybe we'd believe the utter bullshit you spout here!

"The Richest Man in Babylon" by George S. Clason is a good read.
And offended all the women on Venus at the same time.
It's not polite to talk about "big boners" in public. Think of the children!
[...] Obama and the Democrats REFUSED TO NEGOTIATE A BUDGET for the past 8 years [...]
I guess you don't remember the budget that the Senate Democrats passed in 2013.

Is someone's gold-plated brick outhouse on fire?
HAVE, dummy.
Very good, grasshopper. I was afraid that you might have missed that one. You're well on your way to being a Slashdot grammar nazi.
So you spent 3.5 months refactoring your code [...]
I haven't touched my script in two months. After those five user accounts got deleted, I no longer needed to use the script that often.

Your script is sure enough a robot!
Yet no tutorial on Python web scraping ever mentioned the robots.txt.
Whether /. tolerates it or not is irrelevant, your are still not being a nice christian by not following their robot.txt guidelines.
I'll let God sort it out since He has a better algorithm.
Vending machines would had worked in Japan, where all kind of things are available for sale.
Your phyton script should not know about that.

This isn't the first time you mention your particular fascination.
I work with ex-military from the Vietnam era. Bangcock comes up a lot in discussions.
I don't think he can. Have you seen that bag of lard that starts from his chin, goes under his armpits and goes back up behind his neck?
I can reach every part of my body. Think football player, not your mama.
