Letting it dry after cleaning it with dish soap and water then I will put everything back that needs to go back. Found things I knew was on it but something I didn't. A guitar pick. I have no idea where it came from as I don't remember buying one. Someone must have given it to me at one time and I just forgot.

Kamala’s first interview question: “Describe yourself in one word.” Kamala: “Vague.” Interviewer: “Can you elaborate?” Kamala: “Possibly.”

Kamala Harris has invented a new type of presidential candidacy – one based on being absolutely nothing. Seriously. She has stated exactly one position publicly: “No tax on tips” which is precisely the position staked out by Donald Trump two months ago. I guess we should give Kamala this one, since she’s no stranger to a variety of tips.


She’s pulling what I’ll call an “Ultra-Clinton” approach to her candidacy. Back when Hillary first ran for senate in 2000, I was expecting that, finally, she’d have to address the public. There wasn’t any way, I naively thought, that she could duck the people for an entire election. I mean, without killing them.

Whoops. While Hillary did do carefully staged and vetted “listening tour” events, what she didn’t do was meet with anyone but fawning press. She successfully avoided all genuine interaction with people so she wouldn’t have to kill time. Of course, Hillary was well known to be a GloboLeft accomplice, so it wasn’t any surprise when the New York machine churned out a senate seat for her to launch an eventual presidential campaign.

Kamala Harris, though, is another matter. She is the ultimate in vapor. What, exactly, does she stand for? Apparently, no taxes on tips. But beyond that, she is a ghost.

Is she Indian or black? Yes, though my guess is that more of her ancestors owned slaves than were slaves.

I guess if she doesn’t owe reparations, nobody does.

Is she for or against illegals scurrying across the border in unending streams?

Yes. She wants to be seen as “tough on immigration” at the same time she promises to “let every illegal sitting in detention out on day one”.

Is she against inflation? You bet she is, and on day one of her administration she’ll do something (the something is not mentioned) to stop it. Why the Biden/Harris administration can’t stop it right here and now isn’t discussed and no one asks here that question, since that would be mean or something. As usual, the Bee nails it:



If honesty is the best policy, I guess Kamala’s normally uses the second-best policy.

Interviews? Trump sits down to a multi-hour open and candid conversation with Elon Musk, and sits for interview after interview. Kamala? She might sit for an interview sometime by the end of the month. Maybe. If they can keep her off the gin for that long.

"They did a study of how often Kamala was drunk. The results were staggering." [HAHAHA!!!]

... This election is a circus, and we’re far short of the finale.

But what is known is that Kamala is really attempting to appeal to a select group of voters: those who aren’t paying attention and who will vote for a candidate based on what they feel.

Kamala has no need to preen for the hard-core GloboLeftists that want to hang Trump because they don’t like his face. They’re going to show up for her even if she changes her tune to being pro-life and wants to start distributing AR-15s to every citizen. They’d vote for her, because what they believe in is based only on what the latest talking points are from the DNC. These people are Non-Player Characters (NPC) because they’re programmed by the mainstream news or by whatever the talking head night joke men tell them to believe.


... Kamala has to appeal to those [NPC] people to win. She can’t do it on record, so the best option is to run against anything she has ever stood for, or at least pretend to run against that. She can say anything in front of any group, and will wait for the networks and search engines to run interference for her so that she can fulfill her strategy to win the White House.

How? Kamala intends to be the first NPC candidate, standing for nothing, with no real substance except a desire for power with the media as her staunchest friend and defender. Let’s get this woman some more gin!

Some things, you can't do at all.

I think each was written by a monkey, in isolation from the 20,000 other monkeys writing other apps.


I hope you get it done to your satisfaction, SIX. It'll be great!

I don't miss inspections.

Most of my apartment life we didn't even have any. It wasn't until the last few years I lived in an apartment when a big corporation took over that they did one every year. Maybe every 6 months? I don't remember now.

I don't blame them though after seeing how some people live.


My aunt had the first one of her life a few months back. It was so cute how much she was sweating it, especially since she'd be at work when they came in. I told her to relax. First off, they aren't going to steal anything. If they did that, they would have already been caught and gotten in trouble for it. Second, she bought all new furniture and artwork that I helped her install and she keeps the place immaculate. She doesn't even use a big kitchen trash can, opting instead for a little one that she uses grocery bags like most people use for the bathroom and she throws it out every morning before work. I never knew how clean she was because my Grandma's house was so old and run down that even when you cleaned up it didn't look like you cleaned up, but this apartment complex is really nice.

I told her that if they gave out awards she's probably get a medal for keeping it so clean.



But at least it's not like that last place you were living in, right?

Wow... you must have different laws on the books in your area. I don't know how it is in Indiana, but in both Illinois and Wisconsin they can come right in with a key as long as they gave you 24 hours notice. Good for you.

Yeah. The only way they can come in unannounced is in case of emergency. Obviously a fire, but if there's something like a water leak that's ruining the apartment below you, or some crazy noises that make people think you're up to something nefarious I'm sure.

A lot to say about that for sure. That's what I was saying about my aunt. I had no idea she was such a clean person because of how dumpy my grandma's house had gotten over the decades. Same with my house now that most of the living area is finished too. I never used to bother cleaning much around here before that work got done because no matter what you did it always looked like crap.

I've got a little bit of cleanup to do and some documentation to make so I know exactly what I need to focus on when I get back to it, but I finally feel like I can step away from it for a day or two without losing track of where I was.

Large data sets are usually handled by databases, and the biggest problem is properly defining enough fields to make the data findable again.

Failing that, maybe using or including GREP (general regular expression parser) might be useful?

In any case, if you have the right software to be able to find and retrieve data, it doesnt matter how much data you put in.

OTOH if you're writing software, modularize as much as possible using reusable subroutines. That way you can debug each part.

Not an expert, but Ive had to test drive data acquisition software and databases, 'cause Im just smart enuf to use them, not smart enuf to intuitively avoid boobybtraps.

I'm being intentionally vague here just because I have no interest in sharing anything that would indicate exactly what it is that I'm working on. Not because of you, of course, but because of Tweedle Dumb and Tweedle Dumber.

I have data scraping tools at my disposal, but the problem is that much of the data out there is incorrect in certain sources, correct in other sources, or correct in all sources or incorrect in all sources. The major obstacle on the data front is that there's so much of it to collect and edit and I'm only one person. Many sources have just too much data too, and for the purposes of this project that needs to be heavily edited down to something that is useful but also gets all the pertinent information across.

Then there's the media... That part makes the data part seem simple and fast. I really wish I could share some of what I've been working on here and show it off, but we have two goons here who would literally kill me if given the chance, so the less I share the better. I could just imagine a scenario where one day I end up having to deal with one or both of them on entirely different forums that don't engage at all in politics. If that ever were to happen though, the good news is that those other forums are all moderated and they would be ejected about as quick as they showed up.

I wish I could say it was. But since I have to have my hands and eyes on literally every one of the pieces no matter how much I try to automate, there's really no easy or quick solution to any of it. The only way it ever gets done faster is when I just keep brute forcing my way through and I figure out ways to be quicker at the different aspects as I go along. It's one of the reasons I have to maintain heavy notes on all the work I'm doing as I'm doing it because in order to maintain a fast speed I have to do things counter-intuitively and come back to other parts of the same base thing over and over. Imagine how lines were written to a screen on old Cathode Ray Tube TV's, drawing a single image over and over again, and you'll get the picture of what I mean here.

Fortunately for me though, the sources for everything have vastly improved over what they were only 5 or 6 years ago and they're light years ahead of what we had 20+ years ago. That alone shaves countless hours off of the work.

Sometimes I want to know a good word to explain something and I find it on Google. I love it when you can find a single word that can take the place of dozens of other words combined.

Especially when I know I'm often guilty of prolix writing myself.
