We'll Harry Reid had proof that Romney didn't pay any taxes too...
There was a "protest" in front of the White House over the weekend. Sarah Palin, Ted Cruz, and some elected representative (whose name I don't even want to search because he accused President Obama of bowing to Allah and killing the US) made a fuss. Impeachment placards, waving the Confederate Flag around in one hand, while waving the Marine Corps Flag in the other hand.
Crazy stuff.
WTF.
Yeah, like this is the first time the US is supporting terro...cough... freedom fighters.Quote:

The list of incident between Russia and Netherlands continues, as a Dutch diplomat was beaten up and bound (in an apparently well planned attack), and the assailants left a LBGT sign. But according to a Russian newspaper (coincidentally outraged by police attempting to protect kids from a drunk abusive guy) says it's no big deal because the thugs were 'polite'. I suppose with newspapers condoning this kind of shit, and political leaders calling for violence (later retracting that but pretty much condoning it if it would happen) against the embassy, people will get the wrong ideas. Let's hope cooler heads will prevail.
Some Russia-Netherlands year indeed!
walmart has had many of their $60 games listed for $18 for the past couple of hours, and multiple 20-23" LED monitors for $8.
Now to wait and see if any of my orders go through...
$8?
You mean $80 shirley. :think:
nope
:bulb:
I'd like one of those for that price :p
and I've already turned it into a first world problem. I didn't get GTA V for the PS3 in time. Had to settle for the 360 version for $18. Did get both versions of the new pokemon game though.
if the orders go through...
Wouldn't go through, is that because it's likely a mistake?
correct. businesses have protections the enable them to not honor orders if there is a mistake in the pricing.
I ordered most of my stuff to be picked up in store. So my orders will be filled by in stock items. I'll pick them up on lunch, hopefully before someone makes the decision to not ship all these screw ups.
Damn, missed this $130 wheel going for $3 too.
The pokemon games are already showing ready for pick up. and I managed to find 1000 pages worth of walking dead for $3.
Missed all kinds of other deals, $3 controllers, $300 50" smart LED TVs. No way these prices are legit, this is not going to have a pleasant outcome.
Found one still in stock.
http://www.walmart.com/ip/Toshiba-50...-HDTV/24538869 $240 in cart.
And Discover just called to ask WTF I was doing placing a dozen different walmart orders
Damn, missed it. :(
The store gave me my copies of Pokemon. Guys behind the counter where telling me of the stuff they had in stock that they were selling for stupidly dirt cheap. Place is cleaned out of TVs, games and monitors.
The other orders I did are showing as in processing still. So now I wait and see...
I guess some heads will be rolling shortly.
That leaves the question:
- Disgruntled admin?
- Moron DBA who left out the WHERE-clause in an UPDATE command?
Got a very generic email from walmart explaining the pricing as a technical glitch and that they apologize for having to cancel my order, but will be sending a $10 egift card as compensation.
Except that I don't know which order was cancelled, I still have multiple orders listed as "in processing", which usually lasts a couple of days.
The name is Lua, which is Portuguese and means "moon". It's a word nod an acronym.Quote:

They're going to try to make it a thing. Black Friday deals on Thanksgiving weren't a thing here a few years ago, now they are.Quote:

I don't think the people investing realize this can't continue if you also want it to be viewed as a widely accepted currency. In fact while typing this, the price fluctuated from $850 up to $860.
Considering GAME deals in an industry that is increasingly digital, and those digital prodivers all have black friday sales.... get used to it.Quote:

Let's count the cases since 1990:
USA: 5

North Korea: Several
Australia: 1
Venezuela: 1
Germany: 2
UK: 1
Tanzania: At least 25
Turkey: 1
Liberia: 1
Canada: 2
Colombia: 1
Russia: 2
Brazil: 2
Pakistan: 1
Slovakia: 1
Netherlands: 1
China: 2
New Guinea: 1
India: 1
Syria: 1
I should note that Tanzania is a former German colony. :o
Yeah, but after WW1, the Brits got it. And we all know that British cuisine is horrenduous. Might have something to do with it...
Ball's in your court.
Er I think it's the whole murder-suicide-cannibalism pact thing we're talking about here.
I also have this inkling North Koreans didn't do it for sexual gratification. And then we've got thisQuote:

And? There are several cultures who eat at least parts of their recently deceased to supposedly retain some of their strength. It's called endocannibalism.Quote:

So, since I don't want to invent the wheel time and again, I'm sometimes looking for new worksheets, material and books which explain stuff on my pupil's level.
Found some worksheets on a German school book site. Skimmed through the preview available, looked nice. Since the registration process for teachers is a bit involved (need to get a form stamped and mail it), I signed up as a "private person".
Only to discover that said worksheets are only downloadable by registrated teachers. I'm guessing that they think this is the proper way to prevent cheating by pupils.
Yeah, that might work. If they disabled the previews - because those include all the pages including the solutions, just with a big "PREVIEW" watermark... morons.
Maybe they're hoping the students would include the word "preview" on their answer sheets?
I'm not sure which thought process lead them to this particular "solution". In my class, this would've earned them an "F" for "Abject Stupidity" (which you usually get for pulling stunts like "testing the temperature of a Bunsen burner with your hand")
