Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Usually wrong but never in doubt

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

You don’t get rid of your umbrella while it’s still raining.

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

And now I have baud making fun of me. this day can’t get worse.

Republicans seem to think life begins at the candlelight dinner the night before.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

An almost top 10,000 blog!

Our job is not to persuade republicans but to defeat them.

Despite his magical powers, I don’t think Trump is thinking this through, to be honest.

A sufficient plurality of insane, greedy people can tank any democratic system ever devised, apparently.

That’s my take and I am available for criticism at this time.

Everybody saw this coming.

Insiders who complain to politico: please report to the white house office of shut the fuck up.

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

Let’s delete this post and never speak of this again.

Presidents are not kings, and Plaintiff is not President.

Let there be snark.

Conservatism: there are some people the law protects but does not bind and others who the law binds but does not protect.

Make the republican party small enough to drown in a bathtub.

It’s the corruption, stupid.

Do not shrug your shoulders and accept the normalization of untruths.

Schmidt just says fuck it, opens a tea shop.

Balloon Juice has never been a refuge for the linguistically delicate.

    ou plug your iPhone into whichever computer it is tethered to. You open iPhoto or whatever the PC equivalent of it is, you transfer the pics to the photo program like the iPhone is a camera connected through a USB port.

    When you connect your iPhone to a computer it will appear as a removable drive, so you can just drag and drop the pictures to a local drive on the computer. I use a Windows machine and it works that way at least. Select them all, drag and drop, done.

    1. Use the DuranDuran app to automatically upload the photos to the cloud.

    2. Use the FlinkME app to have the cloud send them automatically to the nearest fax machine (within 10 miles of your phone).

    3. Once the photos print out on the fax, use the PolypNow app to scan them back into your iPhone, which will automatically download them back to your Photo Stream.

    4. Synch your iPhone with your desktop, but be sure to have tweaked 100-150 lines of the code in FORTRAN in iPhoto so the color balance stays within gamma on the outdoor photos.

    5. Connect a USB drive to the desktop, and using the CritterSlut app, transfer the photos from the iPhoto folder (or your synced iPhone Photo Stream or directly via the Airport wireless router from your fax machine) to the USB drive.

    6. Pass the USB drive to Paul Ryan, who can apparently run fast enough to turn back time, and have him take it to a Fox Foto kiosk for 72-hour turnaround for 4 x 6″ prints (glossy or matte).

    Could it be any easier?

    @Trentrunner: No, No. On Step 5 you don’t use CritterSlut, you use UnrealRape, but make sure you check the SlutShaming box along with the Spastic Tubes option or you’ll end up with pictures you don’t want.

    @Cole:

    Now how do I delete them all at once off my iPhone?

    Maybe I missed how you copied them to the computer, but if you do the “connect your iPhone to the computer so it’s seen as a removable drive” thing, it’s but the work of a moment to select all the photo files (in Windows Explorer or the Mac analogue) and delete them. That’s how I do it with my lowly Droid.

    This may not be useful, but I have been out this evening and just felt like commenting to get back into the swing of things here at the Juice.

    ETA: You’re welcome! (As ABL would say.)

    If you sync with your Mac, just connect it to your iPhone, open iPhoto and tell it to import everything. Alternately, if you have an iCloud account, go into iPhoto and take them out of your Photostream and drop them into an album. No need to connect the devices for that. Dropbox also works – import them into a dropbox folder, sync, delete. The newer versions of Dropbox on iPhone can be set to automatically sync your photos.

    After you imported them you should have gotten the option to delete them from the phone. If not then there is no “delete all” option apparently. You have to go into thumbnail view, select all the files you want to delete and then delete them.

    Did you import them onto a Windows 7 PC? I believe you can access them on the phone and delete them there….

    I’d definitely avoid the CritterSlut app recommended by Trentrunner….many users have caught viruses, incurable ones, from it. Also the Ryan Runner app he mentioned will certainly get photos back to you quickly, however they won’t be your photos. Instead your photos would have been run through a GOP reality generator–you know where up is down, black is white (but not with the people, God no!) and women look like walking uteri.

    That’s all I got.

    @Violet: Exactly.

    I still think someone has to do a Jon Lovitz Pathological Liar /Ryan video. Uh, because I ran…. under three minutes. Yeaah, that’s the ticket. (Pun intended, sorry).

    As long as Cole has solved the problem, I might as well chime in that I have deleted electronic records by stomping on them until they return to the dust from which they sprang.

    But, something tells me Cole doesn’t want to go that route on this one. But in an emergency, that is foolproof.

    Edit: and, this is another handy dandy use for firepits.

    For macs, I found that preview and iPhoto seemed to work – especially Preview. As for iTunes – that was a dreadful experience.

    You should get Windows. They are better then Macs. And so the flamewar begins…

    @gwangung: Ding! Ding! That is the correct answer. IPhoto is one of Apple’s great POS apps.

    Your photo library will not be readable by previous versions of iPhoto after the upgrade. The upgrade process for very large libraries may take an hour or more to complete. [Choices: Upgrade, Quit]

    I still have a functional Kay-Pro 64, bought in 1985.

    Someday I hope to fund my retirement play with it when it becomes a valuable ant ique.

    One floppy for the program, one floppy for the data, serial output to a daisy wheel carbon ribbon printer for my resume.

    $3700 when new, 9 inch CRT green screen, weighs about 50 lbs.
