"Best before date: 01/11/2024"... Is that January or November? Did this expire 6 months ago or is it good for 5 more months? Common sense dictates that would be 01 Nov, with the units getting larger as you go the right, or 2024/11/01, with units getting smaller as you move right, but having the smallest unit in the middle makes no sense to me. "Look for another can with a 13-to-31 on it somewhere..." Dates and date formats are the bane of any person that works with databases existence. It really gets messy when you have June 06, 2024 or 06 June, 2024. The text items have to be converted and if there is any hidden characters or programming (which there is in excel) then it scrambles it up and the puzzle begins. Quote

Vance is probably the smartest of the lot, but brilliance doesn't always equate to votes, or Biden would only have received 11 votes in 2020.

Did not know that anyone used Excel for editing photos. Learn something new everyday. I do what's called a join (usually left_join) all of the time. Left simply means that the items that you are trying to match on are on the left side of the table. Dates are usually on the left. The usual pattern in government data sets is time, area, ownership (federal gov, state gov, local gov, or private), and industry or occupation. For something to join.. the format has to be exactly the same and the number of characters (visible or invisible) to be exactly the same. 1 Quote

"Secure election" means suppressing minority voters in many RepubliCON states. We OFTEN hear misrepresentations about dead people voting from RepubliCONS when people vote early and then die before the vote is COUNTED. They will beat any dead horse to sow election distrust. AKA, you are so naive and a rube to believe representations just because it's YOUR PARTY with an agenda which sounds good to you. Ok, so exactly how does your fantasy world work? There is no cheating but there are lots of bad ballots and states are to blame but Republican efforts to correct it are corrupt? Wtf?

There used to be a feature on it where you could click on a photo and it would turn everything that was one single colour invisible. Like the green-screen effect that they use in movies. If someone had a photo taken in front of a white wall, you could click on the wall in the photo and it would turn invisible, just leaving the person there. I used to use Corel Draw quite a bit, and even Corel didn't do that. Excel wasn't a replacement for photoshop or anything, but it comes in handy when you need that one thing done. I haven't used excel for about 15 years now, so I don't know if it still even has that feature.

FYI the people who lynched "n1gg3rs" (that's a hard "r" sound at the end), used force to prevent them from going to polling stations, or stole their ballots after they were handed in, were Demonrats. The Demonrats were always the party of slavery and deprivation of the minority vote. Even in recent history, Republicans were the party in favour of civil rights. In fact, THE CIVIL RIGHTS BILL, from 1964 or '67 or whatever it was, IS THE ONLY BILL IN THE HISTORY OF DEMOCRACY ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD WHICH RECEIVED MORE SUPPORT FROM THE OPPOSITION PARTY THAN FROM THE PARTY WHICH TABLED THE BILL. It did that in both congress and the senate. Furthermore, the only party which has repeatedly been caught cheating on elections in recent years is the Dems. They even had the FBI committing crimes for them (COURT DOCUMENTED FACT). Naivete isn't even an excuse you for you, you're just a vile, lying piece of crap.

In its analysis, Rasmussen said that nationally, “more than five percent (5%) say they are not U.S. citizens and a little less than four percent (4%) are not sure if they’re citizens or not.” Added together, that 9% translates into nearly 14 million votes. Time to start campaigning to illegal aliens. Republicans need a Spanish language ad on Telemundo that highlights how Democrats did nothing to stop them from being raped, their children being sold into slavery and their family members being indebted for life or killed. So, dipshlt, that is not evidence of a single illegal vote. FACT CHECK: Gatomontes is a Big Fat Liar. Quote @reason10: “Hitler had very little to do with the Holocaust.”
