How to assassinate a politician

It has been a while since I had a crazy enough idea for this forum.  I still need to turn this blog into a book. Here is how to assassinate any politician for an investment of under $50000 1.  Find an event planned months in advance they will be at, in a hotel that has the banquet room in the basement. 2.  Purchase $25,000 worth of chemical explosives. 3.  Purchase $5000 worth of wood and drywall supplies. 4.  Build a box 2ftx2ftx1ft 5.  Purchase a raspberry pi for $75, and an electric detenator.   Wire these together, put in the box with the explosives.  Code thd det to set off when a website returns a given code word, check once every 15 minutes. 6.  Put the box in a duffel bag. 7.  The week before, rent a room for two nights. 8.  Use the camera on your phone to match the paint in the closet 9.  Put box in the closet and paint it for camouflage  10.  The night of the event, change the website to include the cod...

AI task test, data cleaning

 Well, so much for AI extracting information from e-mails. This is why I have my doubts about AI. I'm using Gmail Cloud HQ to separate out my mainly LinkedIn (with some other items) job search from all the spam I get. I'm then pushing that into an Azure SQL database. Using three separate queries looking for "%appli%" from "noreply@" in Gmail (because GMAIL doesn't actually support wildcards) I'm pulling in three slightly different CSV files into SQL, cleaning them, and putting them into my job search. This is *AFTER* CloudHQ used "AI parsing" to fill certain fields to begin with. Here's the script: /****** Object: Table [dbo].[CombinedCleand]  Script Date: 7/22/2025 10:59:29 AM ******/ IF EXISTS (SELECT * FROM sys.objects WHERE object_id = OBJECT_ID(N'[dbo].[CombinedCleand]') AND type in (N'U')) DROP TABLE [dbo].[CombinedCleand] GO /****** Object: Table [dbo].[CombinedCleand]  Script Date: 7/22/2025 10:59:29 AM ***...
