— DrewM Slow Friday in July.
Good news...the Ace of Spades Podcast should be back today. We went a little....long so Andy's got some editing to do.
One thing we talked about turns out to be today's JurnoList story (example 1, 2 and 3)...the McCain led surrender on Obama nominations is bad for the GOP.
We also have a discussion about the Marissa Alexander case and why it's not even remotely comparable to the George Zimmerman trial or something conservatives should get behind.
Other topics covered that may or may not make the cut....Liz Cheney runs for the Senate from her home-state of Virginia Wyoming and Detroit's bankruptcy/the folly of liberalism.
Oh and someone claiming to be "Ace" showed up. In reality though, who knows who it was.

Warning shots don't go through the wall behind the person you're trying to "warn."
And you don't fire a "warning shot" at your "alleged abusive husband"* with his kids standing there next to him.
And you call 911 after your warning shot if he runs away--not sit down and watch TV.

It's really easy to get caught up in trying to reverse engineer who is running who the Media or Barry but in reality it is enough to understand that the press sees themselves as policy actors and they are NEVER just "making honest mistakes."
Any Republican that does not attack the notion that there is a lack of bias or policy preference and shading in the media is too dumb to be reeelected.

Texas is definately going blue and the GOP is going to help it along.
======
Not really.
Their entire strategy is to run a Hispanic.* That was their only chance.
But, they fucked up. The let the national leftists run the show.
Who wet themselves over killing more babies. And they pumped over a million bucks into the coffers of baby-killer Wendy--who will not run for reelection since the new "F you VRA" boundaries are in place and make her district more Republican.
Now, what's a super warrior for Moloch to do with a cool mil?
Castro the Commie out of San Antonio doesn't have a million in his war chest. That's who they wanted/needed to run.
Now, we got the one-trick pony baby killer with an inflated head against Castro trying to appeal to the Catholic Hispanics--while Abbott on the other side has been at the forefront of protecting life.
Heh.
*They bought into the manipulated and phony polling as deeply as the Republicans. Hint: Texas ain't the US.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House is considering canceling a fall summit between President Barack Obama and Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow, a move that would further aggravate the already tense relationship between the two leaders.
The White House is dangling that option over the Russians as Moscow considers a temporary asylum petition from Edward Snowden, the American accused of leaking information about classified U.S. intelligence programs.Gee, I'm sure that Vlad just can't sleep at night at the thought of Barry canceling the summit. Time to hit the overpriced button again

Slow Friday in July
Hot time
Summer in the city
Back of my neck gettin' burnt and gritty.
Been down, isn't it a pity?
Doesn't seem to be a shadow in the city.
All around me, people looking half dead
Walking on the sidewalk hotter than a match head...

Listening now to the cable TV experts talking about how the country needs an honest dialog about Detroit going bankrupt.
Just like they're honest about Rachael Jenteal being "smart" in some streetwise, ghetto way, now they're trying to say Detroit's bankruptcy has nothing to do with how the city was run by democrats for the past 50 years.
Does anyone believe Jenteal could make change for a $3.17 sale out of a $10 bill? As long as everyone in the media continues to ignore the fact that she and the vast majority of inner-city utes are illiterate morons (not in the good "moron" sense), nothing will change.
The same with Detroit. Unless and until there is some honesty in what went wrong, more cities will meet the same fate.

Go out and find a girl

When you hear someone ask for an "honest dialogue" you can be pretty sure that neither honesty nor actual dialogue will be involved.
As some other wise Intarwebz sage put it, "honest dialogue" really means, "Shut up while I lecture you."

Why are podcasters worried about going "over time" when it's just a matter of digital space? Is server space that expensive anymore? Are listeners going to be that upset if the get *more* stuff in the podcast?
I'm only being partially snarky: I know if something is, say, one hour longer than usual downloading can be a pain, but why concern about adhering to a strict length?

Around the time of the Detroit riots, the local Black Panthers announced that they would be hunting white children, so we got rides to school or escorts for a few months.
If Detroit had any balls, they'd have said, "go ahead. But just to let you know, we're hunting Black Panthers. One thousand dollars a head, or until you animals put down your guns."
Problem solved.

"Rich parents hire play-date consultants to help kids play better... "
Hey, I could do this. I'm about ready for a second childhood, and, have decades of experience to bring to bear. Plus..., I had a hell of a great childhood. I figure I know stuff about having fun that these 'parents' are clueless about. Treehouses built from scrap, Soapbox Derby racers, built from scrap, slingshots (lots of sling shots), playing in lawn sprinklers, wading in creeks looking for crawdads, playing King on the Mountain, Tag, Simon Says, Crazy 8's, Old Maid, mud clod fights, tree climbing, water-gun fights, model trains, BB guns (Gasp!), you name it.....
Give a kid a free hand, a coffee can full of rusty nails, some scrap lumber, an old hammer, and pretty soon, voila!, a clubhouse. Adults are taking the childhood out of childhood and filling the void with junk. I see elaborate play-sets and understand that the parents are trying to do the right thing, but the experience for the child is not the same as climbing a tree, securing a rope to a limb, and then tying a stick on the end of the rope to make a swing. In the first case, the parent is hoping to entertain the child, in the second the child has *achieved* something, understands it, and has fun to boot.
I know..., I'm preaching to the choir...

Yeah I have this tendency to use back slashes everywhere rather than forward.
So I write and\or rather than and/or. It's really a laziness in typing thing.
Turns out one of the bugs in this software a backslash in any text box erases the form you're filling out.

The biggest thing about parenting is realizing that they eventually have to leave the nest, and our whole job is to equip them. That means that "our kids are not us - they're separate individuals". I see so many kinds in college that never learned how to separate (helicopter moms from hell).
So the sooner they learn that it's THEIR job to amuse themselves and take care of themselves, the better off they are. Of course, you watch them, but from a difference, and intervene only when absolutely necessary.
Posted by: RightWingProf at July 19, 2013 07:38 AM (IC6Er)
People rely too much on script driven automated test scenarios.
They're useful, even very useful, but its too easy for developers to fall into the trap of simply "training the software" to pass those specific tests rather than actually making it robust enough to pass anything.
You need ad-hoc testing by evil black hearted bastards as well.

The other sorta keeps looking around like they've been thrown onto a desert island and told to cope. (Not that they do a bad job, quite the opposite, but they look confused a lot and it's humorous.)
My friend whose wife will either be giving birth this weekend or in 4 weeks told me Tuesday "You know...the whole birth thing makes it sorta...real...."

so why did he file after 21 years? She was there before he was successful so he is gonna have to pay her half of 50 million. Why now? She didnt file, he did. He has hired an expensive lawyer. He has asked for a freeze on sales of all their assets. Cause somebody has found someone else
***
It used to be considered gallant for the man to file even when the woman wants the divorce an Michael Moore is nothing if not gallant. From that picture it looks like they shared a lot of pizza over the years.

THIS.
I kept telling my former boss: "While I don't suspect anyone of actively trying to destroy us, we need to assume at least one person may try, or just be accidental"
I told him to turn me loose trying to break everything I could (I'm good at breaking software.)
But I was told not to worry about it because surely no one would ever do harm to us. (As show, after they let me go I should have tanked the entire test database, a friend and I think it was possible based on some of the bugs we found we just hadn't managed to get it just right yet.)

So which comes first? $5.00 off of item X (before it gets tallied into the order total) and then 20% off the resulting order total, or 20% off the order total and then an extra $5 off item X?
Go bottom up. Line discounts applied first, then order discounts if the subtotal (incl line discounts) matches or exceeds the order discount threshold.
That's how Kroger does it with their "$X Dollar Off on Next $50 Order" coupons.
If you add the disclaimer that "Order Discounts Applied to all Regularly Priced Items" then the Order Discount would not take an additional percentage off nor include the already discounted line items.

Your generation apparently doesn't understand what a 'dive' is.
One of the first qualities of a dive, is that it smells.... bad. A mixture of stale beer, booze, and vomit.
Most of people there will NOT be cheerful, let alone dancing.
The men will likely be grizzled and middle-late aged, and have bad breath.
The women (there are always one or two) will be frowzy, middle aged or later, bad hair-dye jobs, and, if they are wearing them, hose with runs or holes in them.
The bartender will not give a fuck about anything except what you want to order, and forget about a Long Island Iced Tea.
The 'Restroom' will be a place that you go only because you don't want to use the alley. Not the the alley would not be more sanitary, but marginally less safe. While there, and holding your breath, you try not to touch anything, including the door. If there is one.

That's probably what it will be. The problem is (as I mentioned) that I'm going to have the final order total, any applied discounts, and the items (and quantities thereof). I have to work backwards to the original item price.

If you want people to move into a city, they need to have to want to move there.
Have the state and city agree to an exclusive arrangement where all public schools are eliminated inside the city and each child receives a full voucher.
Total, unadulterated free market capitalism in education.
Eliminate property taxes based on finished value of the homes and place a single per-year tax on each lot (different rate for different locations).
For the foreseeable future, offer private funded services in lieu of city services (police, fire, garbage, public lighting).

So the piece of software I'm writing formats our ecom sales data and sends it to a 3rd party program that balances everything and then adds that to the general ledger.
Giving this more thought. It's your sales data so your sales system should have the original item price for each order. Just spitballin' here but why not extract that data from the sales system and avoid a backwards recalculation that's likely to get it wrong on occasion?
That sounds like a lot of detail to get into the General Ledger for each order.
Really though, Good Luck to you in getting it done.

That is the perversion of the Govt as advisor and thug for the bank for the economy...the % rate is low to prevent the Feds from imploding.....
as it now stands I can honestly see NO WAY OUT b/c they cannot incentiovize thrift, they legislate away industry, they regulate away productivity....
this is not hyperbole the American people are refusing to allow what we need to do to recover legally....and the Feds financially.

I brought her attention to the fact that Detroit has been under liberal leadership for half a century on Twitter. This was her response:
"@TheObsidianOwl Detroit is bankrupt because her people abandoned her. We should all be ashamed."
Okay, whatever THAT means.

On the local Denver news they did a story on a 13 yr old girl (with a common Spanish surname) whose SS# had been used on at least 4 occasions. Her mom discovered this when she applied for some benefit and was informed it had already been maxed out. Of course, no one in the story - not the family, the reporter, or the state bureaucrat interviewed whose job it is to verify SS#'s used for employment (witha staff of *4*) - mentioned that the girl's SS# was likely used by someone lookin' to get documented.
Nope, doesn't fit the narrative.

Years ago some dude was hitting banks in Boston near T-stops using this formula, and he timed his jobs so a T-train was due as he was walking out of the bank.
It took a couple of years before he got caught, and it was only because he kept hitting a select few banks. He didn't diversify.

Detroit is 85% black and 100% lib/liv
On the up side they have a fair amount of oil and gas under the city that could be exploited as well as excess capacity in their sewer plants and water works.

I adopted my daughters after the involuntary termination of parental rights because of drug use and general dirtbag behavior. When the youngest was less than a year old, her bio-mother used the infant's SSN to get cable TV, phones service etc. because her own credit was so bad. We got her a new SSN.

Friday Feel Good Story
Okay, so last night IÂ’m going out to grab a quick bite. The restaurant is several blocks over in an area that has more than a few section 8 residences. One in particular is occupied by your typical white trash Obama-leech. You know the kind, fat, dumb, four kids by three different men. The apartment is a slum, with the requisite broken kiddie car among the weeds and an old gas grill held together by duct tape on the porch. You get the picture.
So last night I noticed the welfare witch was having a “porch sale.” The usual shit, broken toys, dishes, old plus sized clothes from the 80s… apparently she was trying to scrape up a few bucks for something. But here’s the best part, she still has an Obama/Biden 2012 sign in front of her house… crumpled and weather beaten, but still there... hanging on to the dream. I had to do it. I slowed down and yelled out the window “how’s that hope and change workin’ out for ya?” and sped off laughing as she cursed me.

In Texas, a man left his house to shoot and kill two people he suspected were burglarizing his neighbor—ignoring the 911 dispatcher.
this is the case in TX Hogarth is referring to, from QX's wiki:
Quanell X led a rally in front of the Pasadena, Texas, home of Joe Horn on December 2, 2007. Horn had shot and killed two men - Hernando Riascos Torres (aka Miguel Antonio DeJesus) and Diego Ortiz, illegal aliens and members of a burglary and fake ID ring from Colombia. The pair had broken into a neighbor's house. Horn, against repeated requests of the 911 operator not to confront the burglars, exited his home to confront them. On the 911 tapes Horn exclaims, "Move, and you're dead", followed by three shotgun blasts.
Quanell X, who thought the shootings may have been racially motivated, approached Horn's house to speak to the media. He was overwhelmed by several hundred counter-protesters protecting Horn from Quanell X's accusations. The crowd of counter-protesters included bikers revving their motorcycles, many of them chanting, "USA," "Go home," and "We love our country; what do you love?" while waving placards, Texas flags, and US flags. Quanell X could not be heard over the noise, even when using a bullhorn, and left the area about eight minutes later. He returned soon after with more supporters and attempted to speak again, but the counter-protests continued. Riot police were readied in case of violence between the two groups. Quanell X believed that because Horn was white and not black, he was not prosecuted. On June 25, 2008 the case was sent to a grand jury to decide whether or not Horn should go to trial. On June 30, 2008 Horn was cleared by a Harris County Grand Jury in the deaths of Ortiz and Diego after two weeks of testimony. Quanell eventually made a speech on another street away from Horn's house. The speech included chants of "black power" and the exhortation for blacks to ignore "white law."
