So we’ve gone from a time of no alignments to one with a very clear indicator of bad news. We’ve talked about all the bad blood between Kronos/Saturn and Zeus/Jupiter and why when they’re together things are just downright catty. And how that they are both in retrograde making everything worse. And of course, part of retrograde motion is it makes you hang out in a particular sign longer which is why Capricorns have been having a really shitty time of it and will continue to do so for the next couple of weeks (though things will start getting better in mid-September, I promise). Well that giant pile of suck slots into position this week with… Mercury. The planet of luck, change, news, disorder, chaos, potentially for the good but come on now you really should know better by this point. Be ready for the gang aft a-gley. It will be a particularly terrible time to make your living on the water, with the degree of fuckitude increasing with your dependence on other people. Fishermen might experience some electronics failures, navigators on CVNs or SSBs would be better served by being on shore.
Having said all of that, it will still be an excellent week for Virgo and a decent week for Cancer. The rest of us will experience an unusually capable or unexpected ability to deal with the aforementioned nonsense. The actual readings are dealing with shelter (passive protection) warding (active protection) and expeditious retreat.
Virgo: 8 of Cups – giving joy, Mildness, timidity, honor, modesty, the decline of a matter, a matter which has been thought to be important is really of slight consequence
Libra: 3 of Swords – Removal, absence, delay, division, rupture, dispersion
Scorpio: 5 of Wands – Imitation, strenuous competition, gold, gain, opulence
Sagittarius: 2 of Wands reversed – Surprise, wonder, enchantment, emotion, trouble, fear.
Capricorn: Justice – Equity, rightness, probity, executive, triumph of the deserving side in law
Aquarius: King of Wands: – Dark man, friendly, countryman, generally married, honest and conscientious
Pisces: Knight of Coins – Utility, serviceableness, interest, responsibility, rectitude
Aries: 6 of Cups reversed – The future, renewal, that which will come to pass presently.
Taurus: Page of Cups reversed – Taste, inclination, attachment, seduction, deception, artifice.
Gemini: 2 of Coins – Gaiety, recreation, news and messages in writing, obstacles, agitation, trouble, embroilment.
Cancer: Queen of Wands reversed – Economical, obliging, serviceable, opposition, jealousy, deceit, infidelity.
Leo: 3 of Coins – Métier, trade, skilled labor, nobility, aristocracy, renown, glory
They say there’s nothing like your first First. But I tell ya, every First feels like my very first time.
Shut up, ya cunt.
That’s my line, you sloppy cunt.
It’s “cunte”, you twats!
Yes, I know, and it works as well as you do.
But to show there are no hard feelings, how about I buy you a toaster? For your bathtub.
A minute man, eh?
I’m pretty sure that Brochetta is making a commentary on the silliness of First! It’s an existentialist cry on the futility of human efforts to win in a hostile and indifferent universe.
I’m pretty sure he’s just trying to irritate people. Because all of the first nonsense had stopped on this site until he decided to start this.
I am not discounting that either.
He’s the guy who won’t stop doing that from Hyperbole’s comics.
Oh, then I’m okay with the outcome.
XD
I would actually be sad if he stopped now, dunno why.
Stockholm syndrome.
The only reason I’m still with my wife.
She’d leave you otherwise?
Right in the feels.
I laffed.
His schtick amuses me.
#metoo
#notme
I’m more amused by the people butthurt over the shtick.
I’m annoyed at their reaction because it only encouraged the continuation of the schtick.
Except some people find it amusing and thus, don’t mind the continuation.
If that was ALL Brochettaward did, that would be one thing, but it’s not. He engages civilly and intelligently on a variety of topics. He’s not a one-tricky pony.
So what about it is amusing, because I don’t get it.
There’s nothing to get. It’s a running gag that you either like or don’t.
Sagittarius: 2 of Wands reversed – Surprise, wonder, enchantment, emotion, trouble, fear.
If it weren’t for false hope, I’d have no hope at all.

I’m not going to dive into that morass but instead just wonder why would they need to resort to “fakery” when there are so many examples of Democrats not faking their demands to “defund the police”, and examples of Democrats actually doing it…?
Ya, they did not need to alter that. It stood on its own for the gist of the question. Stupid party indeed.

Taste: No. I’m always tasteless, regardless where bits of rock and gas are in the solar system.

SPLITTERS!
A Republican student group at Arizona State University is receiving backlash for donating money to the 17-year-old gunman who fatally shot two protesters in Wisconsin.
College Republicans United announced this week that half of any funds they raise during the semester will go toward paying for the legal defense of Kyle Rittenhouse.
“He does not deserve to have his entire life destroyed because of the actions of violent anarchists during a lawless riot,” the group said in a tweet.
In a statement Saturday night, the ASU College Republicans denounced College Republicans United “radical, far-right extremist group.”
ASU College Republicans called for an investigation of the group.
College Never-Trumpers?
College Republicans: Guys who look like Ben Shapiro: shrimpy, shrill, high pitched voices. They meet every Tuesday night, its a total sausage fest with maybe one or two “she’s a six, at best” women in attendance.
College Republicans United: MAGA Chad and Todd throwing a fundraiser that will be attended by lots and lots of hot and tight ASU coeds who will both make your head spin and also give you herpes.
It’s funny because it’s probably totally accurate.
Especially this part:
Back when I lived in Yuma, I used to love when we’d go to Phoenix on the weekends and hit up the bars around Tempe. Whole lotta talent around there.
I believe this. Thanks for mansplaining!
hot and tight ASU coeds
For some reason, I read that as “tight” in the 1950s sense of “drunk”.
jesus.
That is one way to get rid of your competition. Wouldn’t be surprised if they do well in politics though.
The fissure in the American Right is this
1. People who actually believe the Left is seriously for real about tolerance, injustice, racism, and inequality. These people spend lots and lots of time assuring the Left that they are “one of the good ones.” They believe that when the Left says “End Racism” they mean “End Racism.
versus
2. The people who understand that the Left hates the broad basket that is The American Way of Life. They actually, no shit, no lie, hate business, and they hate religion, and they hate gun rights, and they hate free speech. They understand that when the Left says “End Racism” they really mean “End Freedom”.
People’s Front of Judea vs. the Judean People’s Front ?
Authorities in Kenosha, Wisconsin, say Rittenhouse shot and killed two people and severely wounded a third with an AR-15 rifle Tuesday. The victims were part of anti-racism demonstrations occurring in the wake of the shooting of Jacob Blake, who is Black, by a white police officer.
Just minding their own business, singing songs and holding hands, when the gunman appeared out of nowhere and sprayed the crowd indiscriminately with gunfire.
Demonstrating against racism and trying to push a burning dumpster into a gas station. Ah well, six of one, half a dozen of the other.

A few new questions for the gardeners, etc.
After getting rid of some weeds/vines in my yard this week (and picking up another rash – that does not appear to be poison ivy for once) – I’ve come to the conclusion that I want to scrap all the shrubs around the house and just replace them with simple perennials and a few herbs (for keeping bugs away, etc). It seems to me that the best time would be around late winter/early spring while things are still “dead” – but the ground isn’t really solid (here in VA). Any tips/suggestions for digging them up and getting rid of them completely? Plan to clip first and then dig around the roots, etc. Still need to scrap a few more vines – need to spray a little more round-up and pull these stupid things out of the gutters – got too wound up around some cables, etc. (appears mostly dead now).
Not too worried about big root structures since the house is only 7 yrs old and base is fully concrete.
Also…while I won’t be financially prepared for a few years yet, I am getting more interested in buying ranch land out west in the mts – delaying this year’s vacation and hopefully will get to look at some other areas next year. Guess it varies by state, but anyone here have personal experience with driveway/road paving, water/mineral surveys for wells, etc? Anyone ever set up a geothermal system for home use?
Those are important and tough questions. I’ve only had passing experience with them thru family.
I’m guessing Suthenboy might know a bit.
I bought 30 acres in VA and can offer my general experience.
Our well was already in place but is only about 100 feet deep, which is relatively shallow but is common for the East Coast. I’ve heard wells out west may need to be hundreds of feet deep. You are charged by the foot for drilling and line placement. There’s usually no guarantee of the drilling being successful or the depth at which they’ll need to go. You need to find a reputable, experienced company.
We looked at paving our driveway. The conservative quote came in at 10-12 grand. Right now we’re just dumping a full dumptruck load of gravel every 2-3 years. The truck spreads it evenly as it dumps. I think it’s about $350.
Yeah, paving vs gravel does look like a decision point – found a few estimates for driveway paving online – wonder how much it varies from state to state or county to county – guess it depends on the company and distance to travel as well.
I manage a rural property. Gravel is an order of magnitude cheaper than paving, and I have a property that requires lots and lots of gravel every year to resurface due to it being decently hilly. Truck comes in, drops the gravel at a couple key locations, then my jack of all trades dude comes in and spreads it all over. We paved one stretch of road so the fish stocking truck could come in safely. That cost more by itself than two years of gravel, and its already got some heaving from tree roots.
If you live in a snowy/icy climate, paving your driveway makes a big difference. Much easier to clear, and the sun keeps it from refreezing when it hits the black asphalt.
Big. Difference. When I lived in WI, it made the difference between being able to easily get out of my driveway whenever I wanted, and . . . not.
As for wells always check with the states department of water resources. They can and will ruin your day. Or in my case three years. It’s best to buy and drill inside of an Indian reservation as most times the DWR can’t stop you from drilling. Go 100’ or more than you think you need. Call drillers and not geologists as they know the water table and the morphology better from experience.
I know a bit about roads as it’s the industry I’ve been for almost twenty years now. Make sure your grade is less than 8%. Here in Idaho that’s the subdivision maximum and it may make resale hard if it’s over that. A good base is important, there are some standards out there to look at. Pitrun, base course, 3/4 or 5/8 minus for the top. Actually paving a drive or road is massively expensive.
Drainage is important as well. Remove the topsoil and replace with your pit run or base course. Go wider than you think you should as well. Standard lane width is 12-14’ but the base is wider yet. You can get a lot wrapped up in a road but if you want to pave it later you need to have it built right in the first place. The roads in my neighborhood arnt, what asphalt was on them is crumbling because the developer went fast and dirty, literally the roads have too much dirt in them and they didn’t remove the topsoil before putting the base down. When they are wet the ground moves as you drive on it.
Thanks. – I was thinking I’d need to check with the state geological survey for water table verification, etc – prior to trying to drill a well – don’t want to inadvertently create a wetlands. I guess the drilling company would generally know the local areas and regulations by trade/legal purposes already.
Guess I’ll see what kind of location I wind up getting, but I guess dirt/gravel would be better in the long run – and more affordable. I certainly wouldn’t want much of a grade if I could help it just due to personal driving preferences, especially in bad weather.
The less the state knows what your plans are the better. They will F with you.
Figured some were a little better than others, but I agree as a general principle. Advice is appreciated – just don’t want to get shafted after the fact if something is completely avoidable.
Related question – would it be advised to go to a financial advisor for planning for a land purchase – particularly in a state I’m not currently a resident in – and for long term planning even if I’m not ready just yet – or is there a different person (just a realtor? or a specialist)?
Beats me. Wife and I paid cash for our place. Check local taxes. We’re in the second highest taxing district in Idaho. If we were 2500’ east we wouldn’t be. And would have been able to drill a well without a hitch.
Another one. Both of these are a bit much for a driveway or personal use. You can do without the road cloth and probably get away with using much less base course and pitrun, gravel 3” on top is a good start. You’ll end up bringing more in over time and grading snow will make it around a lot and expose your base course from time to time.

It’s actually “side of cole slaw”.

My phrenologist would like a word.

Theres a woman running for Congress in CO that has the same story.
Not quite the same story but, yep.
She’s the one that owns Shooters, right?
Ya. She got famous for telling Beto he couldn’t have her gun to his face.
And to carry on the convo from this morning whether or not the Trumpistas were just macing rioters blocking them or not, this is the video I was talking about. This shit helps nothing. I hate the fuckers on the sidewalk, and I hate the fuckers in the trucks. I found it because Vermin Supreme retweeted it and that is how it showed up on my feed. I am confused as to where he stands on all this idiocy.
So, should the left be able to engage in political violence with impunity? Because that’s basically what’s happening with the cops taking their hands off approach.
No, I don’t think that at all. Shooting paintballs at assholes from the back of a pickup truck doesn’t help anything though.
Yeah, defending businesses is one thing, but forming a caravan to drive in search of confrontation in the belly of the beast strikes me as a really bad idea, honestly.
Or it’s a legit “mostly peaceful” protest.
What would help?
There is nothing that can help until the mayor of Portland handles it. It’s his town, his job. The best course of action is to do nothing and paint them all as the violent marxists they are. The country is sick of this shit and right up until you give them what they want, which is violent confrontation with a bunch of people with Trump flags on pickup trucks it is all on them. Now it’s not. I am not one who gives the left what they want and will continue to stay away from protests. Come to my town and fuck with my neighbors? Different story. My take is these people assembled in the burbs and then drove into the city looking for shit.
I’m not convinced that the country is sick of this shit. My guess is roughly 1/3 of the country is in strong support. Even dropping that to 1/4 or 1/5 is tens of millions of people.
Doing nothing to push it back may end up with innocents being lined up against the wall. Appeasement didn’t work for Chamberlain and I doubt it will satiate Antifa.
They absolutely did.
But my thing is this: In a free society, people should be able to convoy through the streets with Trump flags flying, and the commies can jeer and flip them off. But they cannot block the streets, and they cannot throw objects at passing cars because they hate the flags and signs.
The streetscape of Portland is by law a public space. It’s not Antifastan. It’s completely legal to drive through with signs and flags designed to piss off the commies, and if the commies initiate violence against them, it is still a crime. Speech is not violence.
Like, thought experiment: Big old crowd of gay people trick out their cars with rainbow flags and go drive through whatever bumfuck town that pack of morons called the Westboro Baptist Church lives.
I get it Viking and totally agree and I could probably be swayed to agreeing with the truck caravan people, but again, I am not convinced that helps right now. Why fight an enemy that is shooting himself?
SSD I think it is way less than 1/5 of the country that supports the rioters, they have destroyed numerous business and livelihoods but I don’t think we are at Che Guevera checkpoints yet. I could be wrong, I don’t know. I struggle with this to be honest. At what point does an impending civil war become a civil war?
If Antifa supporters think that getting to straight up murder people on video, and cheering the killing, is playing into their hands, they may get a rude shock in early November.
That kind of masked, mask dropping, is gonna antagonize lots of swing voters.
It looks like the crowd on the right was spraying something at the truck too, maybe that’s why the paintballs?
I think they were throwing water bottles at them.
The water bottles are usually filled with frozen water or urine/feces. Then when Antifa’s victims defend themselves, the MSM and Antifa cry about how the response was overproportional because it was just water.
Uh, at :03 someone in the crowd on the sidewalk throws something at the truck. It goes through the top right corner of the frame. MAGA in white Tshirt is not shooting paintball at the start of the video, then something (looks like a soda or beer can to me, its trailing liquid) flies at him, then hes shooting his paintball gun.
Look at the beginning of the video where the sidewalk antifa is trying to light something. It’s part of a Trump flag, which they had been pulling off the vehicles, among other activities like filming the participants and their license plates to dox them later. And more physical actions such as throwing objects at the trucks or in front of them to stop them.
There was nothing peaceful about the counter protestors. They were there to block & disrupt the convoy and physically confront a lawful activity. That’s what they’ve been doing for several years now. And they’ve gotten away with with and have support from the media in covering for their criminality.
No I get it, there is nothing peaceful about anybody on the streets in portland night after night for over three months now. I just am not convinced going in and antagonizing the idiots is the best course of action.
Compared to what? Letting them control the streets?
If there is another option on offer, I’m all ears.
Oh yeah, for anyone like me disappointed with the disappearance of Rebeller Media, Sonny Bunch has a new movie podcast called “Bulwark at the Movies” – the 3rd show so far has a really excellent discussion about Chinese gov’t enforce censorship and some of the behind the scenes issues.

Nitrile gloves are still twice their beforetimes prices. A box of 100 used to run $9.99.
And of course they’re all made in china.
I still have a full box from my hospital stay in May. I guess I was supposed to use them.
And they were made in Malaysia. 😛
Made in Malaysia is ok, who’s the manufacturer?
“Innovative Healthcare Corporation” – box of 200. I did use one. Same boxes that are stocked in every hospital room in multiple sizes. They go through those things like candy now.
There appear to be at least four companies that still make them in this country.
At our local pharmacy hand sanitizer and cloth masks have gone from not available, to limited # per customer and now yesterday a display of both for 30% off.
There was a story a couple weeks back from a local restaurant claiming that stores were gouging restaurants on supplies such as gloves and sanitizer.
I was interested in checking out the restaurant before I read that article.
Somehow I don’t think the restauranteur would not raises prices if constantly swamped with demand beyond their capacity to cook.
My wife uses them to clean around the house. I always manage to tear them so I do everything bare handed except packing bearings. You see me elbow deep cleaning a toilet I’m not wearing gloves.
Have you tried getting a box in your size of higher thickness?
Not to do things around the house, but to protect people from your hands which are too far gone to ever get clean.
Nah. Gets the funk out from under my nails and the bowl clean at the same time.

In MA it apparently carries a potential sentence of up to 20 years in prison. They have been ordered to stay away from one another by a judge.
That’s a mother only Crusty could love.

Dropped the car off to get a wash and across the street at the bar grabbing a pint. The 4Runner was a trooper on the dirt trail we took to our weekend camping by the Colorado.
The trail to Fire Mountain Cove is recommended 4×4 but we chanced it anyway. There were two spots that we could have gotten in trouble but she powered through it with on a couple of undercarriage scraps on some soft sand.
It was supposed to be sunny with a fee clouds but first night came some monsoon tstorms late in the night. Dogs stayed up all night cause of the coyotes howling but overall was a great getaway.

Pictures please!
Just watched the link of the Trump guy getting shot in Portland. Straight up murder there, no doubt. This is going to get very ugly, maybe it is time to send in the feds before there’s open warfare.
I’m glad I live in a diverse city without all these murderous white kids rioting and burning businesses to the ground. There were a few demonstrations at the start of this business, but I just don’t think we have the concentration of entitled white millennials to sustain any real disruption.
Any rioting in my roughly half black and half white town would be over inside of ten minutes. Ain’t nobody around here putting up with that shit.
Oh it sure looks like it. They were looking for Trump supporters, found one, shot him and then ran like mice. I imagine it won’t be the last time that happens.
Sending in federal troops in response to violence being ignored by local and state authorities would let leftists blame everything that happens afterwards on Trump. Plus, unconstitutional if doesn’t occur on federal property or to a federal employee.
Should be a hard pass by Trump if he’s less stupid than his detractors imagine. Let Biden own the chaos.
The precedent for federal involvement, at some point, is the 1960s South.

A right winger was murdered on the street explicitly because he was right wing, and the local government authorities continue to side with his murderers. At some point, it’s exactly like the KKK and the good ol boy sheriffs and mayors down in Mississippi, it’s the local government conspiring and colluding with violent, murderous, organized masked radicals to deny people their rights.
I don’t know what that point is. But it’s closer than it was yesterday.
Supposedly 4channers have identified the shooter:
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2020/08/4chan-users-appear-identified-portland-rioter-shot-killed-trump-supporter/
Who knows for sure but, if it is this guy, good work.
*flagged as misleading news*
That implies the media was trying.
This is actually kinda scary. Finding where Shie LeBouf has his dumb flag? Funny. Possibly misidentifying a murderer and being sure of who it is? Especially in a time when people are not convinced the cops will do anything? Dangerous.
4chan has a better record than most of the lefty groups trying to id hate crimes, dox folks, etc.
I agree, things can go badly if they’ve misidentified this guy but this is the social media age and people are going to play detective like it or not.

Libertarian moment?
I can’t even with this. I am totally unable to even.
As mentioned above, only Stockholm syndrome can explain that collection of words.
What Kind of Libertarian Are You?
Lol
Your Result:
Glibertarian
Some might call you a right libertarian, others call you a fascist. You just want to be left alone, and are willing to do the same to others. You enjoy goring sacred cows, just for some laughs. You might be guilty of unironically saying “Donald Trump is the most libertarian president ever”. You don’t trust government, but are skeptical of anarchist schemes. You think that as long as we have a border, it should be secured. You will not tolerate bad faith arguments, and any level of communism. You also know what true dangers lurk in the forest.
Well I’ll be…
Oh fuck them. They said I was an LP Libertarian. I don’t fucking think so.
The test was flawed. They asked about alcohol preferences, but failed to have “NONE” as an option. Also, their vacation choices were whack.
I’ve been to Yellow Knife. I don’t recommend putting your tent behind a DC3 when camping at the airport.
My only experience with Yellow Knife is Ice Road Truckers.
That’s more than I know of the town. I just know it’s a spot in north canukistan.
The “none” option was also missing from question one, so I tapped out.
Well excuse me for trying to make a silly Quiz. 😉
Honestly though the alcohol question was one i thought about nixing.
Oh, YOU wrote that quiz? Hrmph.
How else would one of the results be Glibertarian?
Oh, snap.
Nice one, but I am in the same boat as Mojeaux WRT alcohol and vacation destinations. Somehow got glibertarian in spite of this.
lol, Dave Smith. Have you tweeted this at him?
No, but one of you should.
Same here, Grumbles.
Bow down lesser libertarians:
I got that one, too, despite being a bit wary about disbanding the U.S. military and hoping private citizenry could prevent foreign invasions.
I got glib. I know the difference between Sasquatch and Dave Smith.

You are the One True Libertarian. Only you are completely consistent, and you make sure everyone knows where they are failing in being consistent. On the rare occasion where it may appear that everyone else is being consistent, you make sure they know they aren’t being nuanced enough. Your understanding of the principles of liberty give you deep and hidden knowledge. Thankfully the heavens have allowed us to partake in just a part of your intelligence.
Anyone else getting absolutely shitty service from USPS the last few weeks?
I was out of town for 5 days the week before last – had a hold order on my mail and got back to have “0” pieces of mail waiting for me (not even junk mail). Then this entire week, I’ve only received one piece of junk mail and nothing else (although I am tracking a couple pieces of mail). The stupid “mail preview” emails I’ve gotten – even listing census documents – haven’t shown up in a couple weeks now (nearly 2 weeks since the last actual expected mail received).
Around here, I’ve gotten everything I expected around the time I expected it.
I don’t get much mail.
Trump is attacking the post office man.
I haven’t been getting shitty service, but I have noticed that if I go to the post office to ship something from my Etsy shop, they charge a lot more than the service desk at HyVee OR the kiosk in the post office lobby. I have no idea why I can ship a package at HyVee for $3.80 but it’ll be a full $5 at the post office. “That’s the rate it goes at, ma’am.” “Why is it cheaper at HyVee and at the kiosk?” “It is?!” “Yes.” “I don’t know why.”
Dimensional weight not being charged?
Don’t know. At HyVee and the kiosk, I still get tracking and it gets where it needs to be in the time promised.
The clerk is putting it in a different shipping class than the kiosk or the hyvee.
Assuming you’re mailing books – should always be media mail – but may not be available from some other locations.
No, I’m mailing embroidery fabric and threads.
I think through Etsy she’s selling some form of needlework related product.
LOL you tried to ask them a question?!
I succeeded in asking, but did not succeed in getting a satisfactory answer. Therefore, I now only go to HyVee to drop off and the post office to pick up.
Normal for us. We have a rural contract carrier and she is a moron. Sometimes the post office will have to run a regular Grumman out because she “didn’t want to take the packages today.”
All I know is anytime I get a shipment notification for an order and it’s from the USPS I start cursing.
It’s Fedex for me. They manage to destroy every package and it’s conten over five or six pounds.
During my last visit to the PO (failed attempt to buy stamps), the only thing I heard from the one person servicing the long line was him gasbagging to some unfortunate customer about how he’s “put in thirty years” and he’s “finally out of here next week”.
