Iowa Caucus Predictions... SEASON Thread

A spreadsheet application is a program designed to do something specific. It was the only kind of programming “language” I was able to turn into something useful in school. Sometimes. You do need training beyond the basic ability to use Excel or time to study the code.

Sure. Anyone competent could have opened up the spreadsheet and figured out what was going on in ten or twenty minutes. Certainly anyone who is the CFO of…anything. These are not competent people.

We’re not even talking about some elaborate Excel doc with macros and external references. The woman was stumped by Google Sheets.

You can make apps just as complex in Google Sheets, if not more so.

But like, it cracks me up how the IDP keep talking about this like it’s the NASA control room in Houston or something. You have a bunch of precincts and three numbers per candidate in those precincts. How complicated an app could we possibly be talking about?

I know it might be an additional stressor to liveblog your struggle but your pain is now my pain so don’t hesitate to update the forum if the spirit moves you.

Eugene Debs is spinning in his grave that 100 years later things have been added to his list.

I’m not.

We can have a new thread for NH and so forth and keep this open for the likeminded.

Speaking of which, Taniel update:

If we get some good news I will update you guys. If we don’t I’m not so sure. Of course on her current insurance she is limited to who we can see if we want it covered so it will be a few weeks until the surgery (early March) even happens so in the meantime we are in limbo. On one hand that makes me feel like maybe they aren’t that worried about it. On the other hand it makes me feel like if it is the worst case scenario it needs to happen sooner rather than later and kind of pisses me off.

I’ve been telling my friends that I think Trump won the election last Monday.

I hope I’m wrong.

Imagine dropping in my blog after I was lamenting the cost of my life-saving medication will go into the multiple thousands per month very soon and commenting “guess you arent a centrist anymore.” (Which I am not)

You are a douche and a shitty poster lately and a prime example of exactly what I am talking about. What even happened to you.

Yeah, so after reasoned debate you have convinced me of the error of my position. But holy shit at the posters calling me an enemy of the people because I favored public option over single payer.

This is a BernieBro board, bro. If you don’t like it gtfo. That’s how we will expand our readership, by telling people to gtfo.

To be fair, “fuck the people I got mine” is exactly an enemy of the people mindset.
