The Pantone Color of the Year is…
It may be the 21st century but periods are still often considered shameful, mysterious and a taboo that should not be talked about publicly.
Swedish based brand INTIMINA which offers the first and only range of products dedicated exclusively to all aspects of intimate and menstrual health has launched the Seen + Heard campaign. The goal of the Seen + Heard campaign is to break down the stigma and taboos surrounding menstruation, to enable everyone, regardless of gender and generation to feel comfortable to talk freely and proudly about this natural bodily function.
Pantone Color Institute collaborated with INTIMINA to create Period, an energizing and dynamic warm red shade encouraging period positivity to serve as the visual color identifier for the Seen + Heard campaign; a campaign whose purpose is to inspire national and international conversations about periods through creative ideas that portray periods sympathetically and accurately. Creating a bold and daring red shade that matches the color of a healthy menstrual flow to be emblematic of the Seen + Heard campaign, leverages the power of color to attract attention to INTIMINA’s mission of supporting the normalisation of periods, getting them seen and heard.
I’d sure like to know where this silence and stigma is supposed to be. Somedays it seems bleeding out of your cooter is all anyone on the internet talks about. And it sure isn’t evident in my female-dominated workplace. It’s all tampon this, and chunky clot that. If I talked about what comes out of my dick that much, HR would have crawled up my ass and died by now.
Or maybe it’s just me. I am not ew, gross! uncomfortable with the subject and I am so old, fat, and poor that I don’t hold any sort of sexual interest to make them be demure around me. Since they will never rub it in my face, that makes it OK to rub it in my face, so to speak.
Sonny and Fredo aren’t going to like this at all…

Ex-cop charged in Floyd’s death freed on $1 million bond
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The former Minneapolis police officer charged with murder in the death of George Floyd posted bail on Wednesday and was released from prison.
According to court documents, Derek Chauvin posted $1 million bond, and the Department of Corrections confirmed he was no longer in custody at the state’s facility in Oak Park Heights, where he had been detained. Hennepin County jail records show he was released shortly before 11:30 a.m.
No word on where the money to post bond came from. Possibly from selling his life-rights to the producers of Kneel On Me, Daddy: The Derek Chauvin Story airing on Lifetime this Christmas.
The rumors are true, I have brutally seized the prized Wednesday afternoon links while Brett is on maternity leave. When he stumbles back to us, nipples chapped and bleeding, episiotomized, incontinent and mumbling about meconium, I will make him fight me for them. And you better believe I fight dirty. I will slap that motherfucker right in his swollen pussy.

Great music choice.
“I’d sure like to know where this silence and stigma is supposed to be.”
I have a wife and three daughters. There is no silence or stigma, at least not at my house.
“Silence and stigma” means not comfortable talking about it in all venues at all times.
The fact that I don’t feel comfortable talking about the color and constitution of my shit in polite company means that I’m oppressed.
Why not cast off your chains?
So I was 12, and I was still so innocent to the world. Little did I know that I was allergic to blue food dye…
It’s ancient history at the Fourscores. Red, well, blaze orange is the color that holds my interest this time of year.
The Pantone Color of the Year is…
How is it different from blood red?
Because it’s strong and empowering and stunning and brave!
Shitlord.
The clots?
I totally do now know what that picture is. Do I want to know?
NOT know
It’s a cow skull with a tiny hand holding a ball instead of a horn.
I knew that.
Let’s just say it’s hysterical.
I thought it was more Fallopian-esque in nature.
The Dallas Stars alternate logo?
I was thinking maybe something on the WTF’s short list of names once this season is over.
They wouldn’t even have to change jerseys
google “mooterus” 😉
Or Cowboys, I could go either way
the Mooterus sucked
It is the original tiny house.
I’m a little bit surprised that /pol/ hasn’t attempted to start a semen awareness and positivity campaign.
Same as downtown?
“And it sure isn’t evident in my female-dominated workplace. It’s all tampon this, and chunky clot that.”
That doesn’t belong at work. Unless you work in gynecology.
Chauvin probably put his suburban 5/3.5/2-car garage up as collateral.
If I were him, I’d probably rather hand over a hundred grand to a bail bondsman, than spend a few more months in pre-trial detention with a bunch of people who know my name…
I was thinking maybe the union.
Interesting thought. Maybe, but I’m having trouble seeing a cop union having a million in cash to put up bond, even for one of their own gunsels.
Debate predictions? Do they infect Pence?
Don’t expect much fairness from the moderator of tonight’s VP debate, Susan Page. She literally just wrote Nancy Pelosi’s biography “Madam Speaker”.
The moderator with a a total cunte?
Will be, my afternoon type-o marathon is kicking into gear
Red Cross would like a word.
I can say that the venue is nice.
Though i’ve heard rumors that they might be putting a curfew on in SLC, which floors me. Who protests over a debate?
Profa?
That dildo gif. Reminds me of what bored airmen working an overnight shift will do. We had one female in our shop. Tough as nails southern girl that had no problem with the male culture we espoused in the shop. We drove (our GOVs) to the porn shop. Picked up half a dozen various sized dildos and then drove to her house on base. We strung them up in her trees and porch.
Next morning we get a call from her husband “Look guys…I laughed, but I have to wake up next to her. Can you please stop for the love of god!” He was a good cat and she is and still in our group of friends.
So you’re saying he was intimidated?
For all your bulk dildo needs:
https://www.skdtac.com/skd-bag-of-dicks-p/skd.808.htm
I brought a bag of (candy) dicks to my friend’s bachelorette party.
Did they have a fizzy surprise inside like Zotz candies?
Jeez, what an idea! Somebody call the patent office!
Shouldn’t the color name be in Swedish? It has no umlauts or the little circle thingy.
The little circle thingy is a ring.
Don’t women get tired of this stuff? It seems incredibly patronizing.
Some people like being patronized.
I see that you did that, you misogynist shitlord!
They simultaneously get to be fierce roaring modern woman and fragile wilting pussywillow. It’s a good gig, if you can get it.
OTOH, I know more than a few women who get very, very mad at this BS. Like really mad.
Maddest on the days they’re riding the cotton pony no doubt.
I don’t ask, they don’t tell. I must be oppressing them.
Aunt Flo is in town!
Any opinions on this? I’m thinking about buying the series run of Miami Vice to put on in the background while working in my shop. I was a little too young to really understand the series when it was on, and I have a bit of an 80s nostalgia thing sometimes. Worth it or not? Not going to stream it, it’s blu-ray/dvd or nothing.
complete series on blu-ray is around $50
Was there anything to really understand? It was just meant to look cool.
I was in third grade when it was big so it definitely looked cool back then
I enjoy the nostalgia – used to watch it every Friday night in college before looking for a party – but don’t expect it to make much sense. Kind of like they threw MTV and a cop show in a blender.
Worked better than VH1 and a cop show in a blender. *shudders thinking of Cop Rock*
Not everything about Cop Rock was bad!
https://youtu.be/fXv8IepBVJQ
I just play this scene over and over.
Favourite scene
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qSARDlHh-Mg
A-Team>Air Wolf>Knight Rider>Street Hawk>Miami Vice
Big thumbs up for the Street Hawk mention.
You forgot CHiPs, Dukes of Hazzard, and Greatest American Hero tho.
I have the same birthday as Ponch (Erik Estrada) from CHiPs. Never really like GAH. Dukes of Hazzard is a given though. Daisy dukes menstruating et al.
My parents let me watch the A-Team and Knight Rider, but not the others. Actually never heard of Street Hawk. I loved GAH as a kid.
Street Hawk was to motorcycles as Blue Thunder was to helicopters. Dude hits nitrous on a bike to jump through a billboard to catch bad guys. Sweet.
Sounds badass
I never saw Air Wolf or Knight Rider.
I never even heard of Street Hawk.
Then again, I don’t think I’ve ever seen an entire episode of Miami Vice.
Go for it. I went through every season of it when they had it on Netflix a few years back. I also watched it as a kid and loved it then and it still rocks. Lots of awesome 80’s tunes, attitudes and clothes.
I was halfway through Magnum PI on Amazon a few months back when they took it off free streaming. Dammit. Another great 80’s show.
i have the whole series run of Magnum on DVD. Dr. Girlfriend and I were watching it together until we started a home renovation project and the TV room got taken over by material and tool storage. Maybe I should just watch that by myself.
I enjoyed that one immensely on the second go around.
The first couple of seasons are pretty cheesy but by season 3 it seemed to hit its stride
Agreed, although only the first 2 seasons. Lost a lot of the fun at that point.
If you go into it for the right reasons – the look of it (it’s often beautifully shot), the locations, the cars, and all the future famous people who were unknown guest stars – you’ll have fun with it. If you’re expecting an intelligent procedural, you’ll be disappointed.
I generally dislike police procedural shows, so for me the fascination is all about the atmosphere of the show in this case.
Here ya go. Seasons 1-4 are in 720p, season 5 is 1080p, all are Blu-Ray REMUX DTS-HD MA 5.1 AVC link expires on Halloween.
I have the first couple seasons. It’s fun and hilarious to watch.
Did they fix the music? When it first came out on DVD they couldn’t get the music clearances for a lot of the show, IIRC.
The Cal Cunningham story keeps getting funnier. Not only was he banging his crazy side-piece in his own bed, she has nude photos of him. Better still, he’s a Lt. Col. in the Army Reserve and her husband is a Veteran, which means that was a violation of the UCMJ, so…
Wednesday morning, the Army Reserve confirmed to WRAL News that it has opened an investigation into Cunningham.
Hilarious if this clown costs the Dems the Senate.
All while running on a “duty, honor, honesty” campaign. So the media will take his word for it that his personal life isn’t the campaign.
That’s the top story on the Raleigh-Durham TV news. He’s toast.
I hope so. What’s the carpetbagger content of NC these days?
Dunno. He’s a Democrat, and they tend have a different standard on what’s a dealbreaker morally, plus they want sooo bad to take back the Senate.
There was some wierdly tu quoque piece linked to yesterday – “Sure, he had an affair, but his opponent tested positive for the Coronavirus!”
Are those mini-ribbon label pins he’s wearing while campaigning?
Yes but not sure which one.
They oughta sell little charm bracelets to politicians so they can just wear their platforms on their wrists and accessorize as needed.
Please throw in Article 134, please throw in Article 134, please throw in Article 134…..
Doesn’t 134 include sodomy? And if IRC, anything that wasn’t missionary is defined as sodomy, on second thought it is probably a Private urban legend, funny nonetheless.
Thats absolutely what he should get. It brings discredit to the armed forces, especially since he is running on those values.
Also a 133 if they want.
OBJ, they dropped sodomy once da gays were allowed to openly serve if I recall correctly (Art 125). Also the ‘missionary’ thing went out with the update too.
Ok sources have confirmed that today is indeed Wednesday.
So Are we live chatting the debate tonight? An by we i mean you. I’ll just read your reactions.
I think I’m passing on this one. I need to play some more Baldur’s Gate 3.
How is it?
60 bucks early access? Worth it?
I” answer you both. It’s pretty, the visuals are a huge improvement over DOS2.
I would call it a cross between DOS and Dragon Age, with a tactical camera all of the time, not only in combat.
The gameplay is OK so far, I can’t really judge yet with less than 2 hours in.
Ive been reading its Divinity:OS 3 and not a true BG game. Ill wait it out a bit to see.
You get the full game along with the early access. So I’d say it’s worth more than if you just wait for release and buy the full game at $60. And Larian is a sold dev, so I trust them.
Kristen is scheduled again tonight.
Don’t let that stop anyone from live commentating the “debate”
Tonight might actually be a debate, since it’s Pence v. Harris. Maybe. Who knows, these days.
I didn’t know we live-chatted the last debate. The idea was thrown out but I didn’t see a definite yes or a link.
It was ‘live’ posted about. No Zoom as was suggested.
500+ comments.
More than any other post that I’ve made.
Ok sources have confirmed that today is indeed Wednesday.
Sources “familiar with the week’s thinking,” or did they go on record?
Obviously a man thought that color red was menstrual red. Not.
I’m a man, and it didn’t look familiar to me based on what I’ve seen
Apologies. A man who has never lived with a menstruating woman.
no apology needed. I just looked at that Pantone color and thought “I guess she’s been doing it wrong all these years?”
Right?
Maybe Dario Argento?
Arterial bleeding out her hoohah?
Ingmar Bergman in Cries and Whispers, which has a scene of one of the actresses cutting her vagina.
What? That isn’t the right color?
*tears home made wings patch from denim vest*
I did all that for NOTHING?!
*runs sobbing from room*
I can’t wait until that time in my life when menstruation is but a distant memory. Never had any use for it.
Hysterectomies (oophorectomy optional) are wonderful things.
Best part about getting old is not having to wear a condom
Wait? Have I been being scammed all my life? The woman wears the condom?
*Vomits*
Behar said, “I’m dreaming of the day when we all say ‘President Nancy Pelosi.’ I think that sounds really good. But the polls are showing that Biden is ahead in key swing states. It’s very encouraging in many ways, Pennsylvania, et cetera, but I’m still worried that they could steal this election. I know that the Russians are still involved. Trump’s own Department of Homeland Security just released a report warning that Russia is a key threat to the election. Now we knew this going into 2016 too, and we saw how that turned out. This is why I’m not counting my chickens at all. I’m still nervous. People have to vote, and we have to win in a landslide. How concerned are you about that?”
SugarFree would have fun with that, I’m sure.
Pelosi said, “Well, I’m concerned, but I don’t— my motto is we don’t agonize, we organize. I have no doubt that the president, in typical fashion, will lie, cheat, and steal to win this election. So we are prepared for that. I’m sorry to have to say that, by being speaker of the House and he’s president of the United States, but that is the reality.”
Progjection, thy name is Nancy.
Christ, the presidential candidates keep getting older somehow.
I can’t even.
In New York City we wear our masks, proudly.
DeBolshevik is such a cunte.
I was hoping for a picture of the Hamburgler.
ROFLMAO
That’s the dumbest thing I’ve seen all day.
Wearing masks often makes it difficult to discern the actual race or nationality of the wearer. As such, a properly equitable society, where each of us treats the other in the manner our diverse backgrounds and social justice require, masking can be confusing, and potentially cause embarrassing faux pas when we fail to recognize our proper place with respect to others.
I’d like to suggest a way we can all customize our masks, and at the same time promote appropriate behavior. A simple design or insignia, such as a religious symbol, for instance the Star of David, or a Cross, could be embroidered to show one’s religious affiliation. A favorite symbol of the gay rights movement, the inverted pink triangle, could be applied to some.
I rarely go anywhere where masks are required but when I do I tell the wearer, “I’m sorry, I can’t understand what you are saying with the mask on” Then they pull down the mask and say something like “White or whole wheat”.
Usually it’s true, tough for me to comprehend when people are masked up.
“White or whole wheat?” That server should be fired. In the best restaurants, the server is required to say “White or Bread of Color?”
Haha this is nicely done, does anyone know if this is actually the old Soviet anthem (rather than the new version that has the same tune)?
https://twitter.com/generalsordi/status/1313661258328088576
It sounds like the soviet anthem. The Russian version has different lyrics, and the sound of them is different at the start (but I don’t speak Russian, just going by how it sounds).
Yep, that’s the Soviet anthem. It was Putin who resurrected it with different lyrics.
Oh, and the video that usually accompanies it on Youtube has a lot of Lenin preening on a balcony much like Bill here preening in front of City Hall.
LOL. That makes the parody even better.
I thought so. Those Canada Cup games on VHS served me well as a young man I guess, I wore those tapes out.
WTF, Twitter now wants me to login in to see tweets?
Just think, much like an episode of the Rosanne show without Rosanne, about how many idiots had to greenlight this atrocity in order for it to be released.
Heh. The resurrected show was bad enough with her, but without… no. Just, no.
No we don’t. Neither do (((they))).
How many innocent people did he infect while he was waving that mask around before finally putting it on?
And wasn’t he the chucklehead who got caught by NYNormies walking around with no masks on?

LOL
I there anything this guy cannot do? He causes hurricanes and earthquakes for fuck’s sake. Looks like they’d leave him alone since he has super powers and all.
Crashing markets?
The markets dropped when he got sick, improved when he got better (hmmm…), and dropped again when he ruled out any further stimulus until after the election. So I guess you could say he caused the market to drop twice in the span of a week! But crash, well…no.

Introducing the 2021 Color of the Year: Urbane Bronze

Yeah, when I looked at it I thought maybe the picture didn’t load.
I’m not seeing the problem.
“I’ve been reading her opinions and law review articles, and I’m increasingly convinced that she’s even more conservative than Justice Scalia for whom she clerked on the Supreme Court, and she has demonstrated a willingness to reverse long-settled precedent,” he added, saying the confirmation hearings should be delayed until after the presidential election.
“So you disagree with Judge Barrett on major policy issues, obviously, but do you think she’s qualified as a judge?” MSNBC’s Willie Geist asked.
“I think she is qualified as a judge,” Coons replied. “I think she’s going to be an engaging candidate.
“But, frankly, what matters here is not whether she’s taught at a well-regarded law school or whether she answers questions well,” he added. “What matters is her judicial philosophy, how she will change the balance on the court, and what the consequences will be for tens or hundreds of millions of Americans.”
“change the balance on the court”
As if the Court were a finely tuned machine and upsetting its dynamics would cause our system of government to throw a rod and puke its entire lubricant supply out while crossing a metal grating bridge over the last pristine manatee habitat on the continent.
The only way she can do it right is to ask RBG what she would do and wait for that to be answer from the grave, through her medium (anyone in the media or elsewise on the left).
It’s just like when you ask them what the ideal temperature or tax rate is.
So far so good.
WTF does that have to do with anything? I suppose you would vote against a leftist judge if the court was 4-4 lefty/normie?
Even if relevant, a complete imponderable.
Geist actually asked a decent probing question. I’m surprised.
“she has demonstrated a willingness to reverse long-settled precedent”
Good point. We should abrogate Brown vs. Board and return to the precedent of Plessy vs. Ferguson.
Moron. Pretty much every SC decision is reversing some kind of precedent. Maybe not a previous court decisions, but long-standing practice. Miranda vs. Arizona was a reversal of long-standing precedent.
If that isn’t a dog-whistle…

Does anyone have any good pork tenderloin recipes? Or just how to cook it? I don’t eat pork, and I pretty much forgot.
Stuffed pork tenderloin roast’s always nice. Stuffing’s usually chopped up apples, some onion or shallot, fresh or stale bread ripped into small pieces, salt and pepper (and whatever else strikes your fancy). Lots of recipes on the ‘Web.
Any other cooking method, try not to go past medium-rare too much — the meat will turn into a hockey puck. Served the spousal unit pork tenderloin sandwiches a while ago on brioche hamburger buns with a mushroom gravy. By the second bite she couldn’t stop herself (this observation also works to describe our wedding night). ;-)
So around 62°C?
I just got some Turkey tenderloin because it was so cheap. Same deal?
WTF is turkey tenderloin?
I had the same question. I’ve seen turkey “bacon,” but never heard of turkey tenderloin. Is it an actual cut from somewhere on the bird, or is it some ground-up shaped forcemeat like turkey bacon?
Should be the meat closets to the ribs. Looking at a fowl breast, it looks like a ‘flap’ or the extended piece of the breast.
closest…not closets. where is my beer.
“where is my beer.”
In the closest closet?
Apparently it’s a cut from the breast:
https://www.wisegeek.com/what-are-turkey-breast-tenderloins.htm
Anytime you have had chicken tenders, its that piece. Pre-cut chicken breasts don’t come with it, unless you get bone-in (I haven’t bought bone-in in a long time, so could be wrong). They sell them separately at a premium.
I usually quarter my own chickens, so I save those for later use.
The also sell whole boneless chicken breasts.
Pre-cut chicken breasts don’t come with it, unless you get bone-in (I haven’t bought bone-in in a long time, so could be wrong).
Correction: in the United States, the above may be true (but it’s a big country with lots of regional variation). In every place I’ve lived in Canada, you can buy de-boned chicken breasts either with or without the tenders. Can’t say I’ve noticed that the tenders are Teh Awesome, so if you get a discount on breasts without the tenders, go for it.
I make my local big-chain grocer butcher block work for my money and always asking for specialty cuts (though a tender isn’t special). I get jealous watching Ramsey cooking and he has 5 different types of fowl to get from the market. We have to go to specialty shops for stuff like that.
It’s the same muscle as the chicken tenderloin, just at turkey proportions. Just cook it like chicken until it hits 165.
Thank you lol
So…breast cutlets?
And then RUN SCREAMING ! ! ! ! ! ! !
BEAMWCF got ya some good ideas. Tenderloin is fantastic to stuff. You can do a bacon-wrapped tenderloin also – just make sure to pre-cook bacon just before crispy since you won’t be cooking the loin long enough.
Oooooh, forgot about wrapping tenderloin roast in bacon. Damn, that’s good eatin’. (Although I’m okay with using raw bacon — it acts a bit like insulation, and of course as it cooks it’s basting the roast . . . ).
{insert Homer Simpson drool here}
That is true. I should have said when grilling it. Man…looks in freezer…yep, weekend it complete with smoked Tri-Tip tacos and maybe a tenderloin wrapped in bacon, stuffed with feta, sun dried tomatoes and spinach.
Sear it in a hot pan and then finish in a 375-400 degree oven shouldn’t take long 25-35 minutes depending on size. remove the pork and make a pan sauce of your choice, I like to use some stock, mustard and hot sauce, Chef John, has a good black pepper and black cherry jam sauce that’s pretty good but I never have any black cherry jam.
Forgot about the sauce. I like a rich mushroom gravy or chutney with mine, depending on sides. Also have done a chimmichuri for it.

Soooo….I think I mentioned it before, but I’ve got some yard drainage issues. In particular my side yard between my driveway/garage and the fence leading to my backyard and patio is a little lower than I’d like and stays wet/muddy much longer than the rest of the front yard – which is a hassle for pushing my mower back or for walking back in general.
If I want to build a path to the back yard (that way also accesses my crawlspace and obviously I don’t want to track additional moisture when I get down in there) – is it better to lay down a load of dirt/soil first and then put down paving stones or whatever I wind up using? If I want to add dirt levels, do I just dump it on top of the current grass and then reseed everything or are there general tips? I’m guessing, putting dirt down in the winter while things are nice and hard should work fine, then as things warm up, I can start reseeding with less issues? Is that generally the accepted technique for improving yard levels – I’ve got some other soggy portions that will need similar treatment.
My next project in the next week or so is patching some holes in my sump pump hose (well outside the house but still too close to the house – guess I’m going to have to crawl all the way inside again to unplug it – unless it’s safe to turn it off at the circuit breaker instead? Need to buy a trowel and some special tape first.
Is it standing water bad or damp mud bad?
Pavers are generally set in a sand base, which should be compacted first if you want it to last. This has the added benefit of allowing more drainage between the pavers so your footsies stay dry after it rains.
3 ways to get rid of run-off. Best and cheapest 1) grade from high to low if possible. 2) infiltration: depending on soil, you may need to over excavate and put in stone to allow time for water to drain into the existing soil. 3) piping: need to pick up the run-off using perforated pipe and direct it to a lower elevation. Worst case scenario is using a sump pump.
Mostly mud in the side yard – although not if I’m not walking through it – but I will be transiting much more as I plan to do a lot more back yard gardening, etc and all my gear is in the garage – (but in some parts of the back yard, more soggy grass, damp ground). Can’t really regrade since all the other yards in the block are about the same level, but I figure adding a few inches in that area will at least let me direct it towards the ditch at the end of the yard or at least a bit more redistribution rather than standing.
I like the idea of individual paving stones (or brick setups to match the back patio) – I guess if I want to use sand though, I also need to put down some boards or something to keep things in place?
Search the search engine of your choice for “paver edging”. Boards rot ,look shitty, and move, a solid base like I mentioned below and paver edging will last longer and look better.
The side yards at my house are pretty soggy, and one patch in the front is permanently waterlogged. The downspouts from my house and neighboring houses all drain through the side.
1) Cheapest thing – shut off all watering in those areas, if you have a sprinkler system.
2) Long term – Plant water loving trees to start soaking up the water as they grow. In the permaswamp area, I have a Bald Cypress, since one of the few trees that can survive standing water. Also have River Birches and Sycamores in these areas, since they can take damp but well drained.
3) Immediate term: raised soil with lots of (or all) sand and maybe a bed of gravel to drain water away from your pavers.
We get a lot of rain depending on the season, and the drain spouts do go down the sides of the house. No need for sprinklers, etc.
If you are building up under where you are planning a path of pavers or bricks and you want it to last do not just add dirt on top of existing ground, dig out the sod and top soil down to bare earth, compact that and then build up in layers 2-3 inches at a time compacting every step, when you are 8-12″ from your desired final grade (this depends on the thickness of your pavers and the layers of stone and sand you want) then add 4-6″ of gravel or “crush and run” again compacting every 2inches or so, then 2-4 inches of sand and then your pavers.
Yeah….makes sense in retrospect. I did see some nice edging stones at Lowes – need to measure/price things out. If this is a one-person job and I don’t have a lot of money (although I can rent a pickup or probably borrow from a buddy) – is the compacting really necessary if I’m comfortable (based on the height) – of sand, then gravel, then stones on top? Or is this a fairly simple “compactor” that isn’t super fancy? I saw a few pic sets online but need to do more research – those numbers you list sound a little excessive for what I need/want – although the ground is pretty soft…..once I’ve got an edged path – esp if it’s wide enough for my mower, I won’t be on the grass/mud nearly as much so it’ll be a little less likely to get churned up.
is the compacting really necessary if I’m comfortable (based on the height) – of sand, then gravel, then stones on top?
Based on my experience, yes, it is. Otherwise it won’t be long before the pavers start to shift and settle and look like crap.
I suspect that you have running water there during rainfalls or even snowmelts, as well. If so, I’m not sure dry laid pavers will last anyway. But, not an expert.
I’d be tempted to start by draining the area (Walford described what is sometimes called a “French Drain” in his #3 point above). It’s relatively low-effort (still gotta do a bit of trenching), and it’ll give you a good idea of just how wet the area might be overall. The spousal unit comes from the Lower Rainland™, where trenching and draining land is a way of life, and it’s sometimes the best bet.
If the French Drain doesn’t work, you might need to use a more “muscular” solution.
Thanks again for the tips. I may need to take some pics to give a better idea for this.
Compacting is just that, you could rent a gas powered plate compactor but you can get the same results with a little manual labor and a 30$ tamper.
Thanks! Appreciate the info. Might push this project a little to the right for later in the summer next year when it dries out again – and focus on some of my “smaller” projects in the interim – getting rid of shrubs, replanting new stuff, setting up some trellises, etc.

I’d sure like to know where this silence and stigma is supposed to be. … If I talked about what comes out of my dick that much, HR would have crawled up my ass and died by now.
That’s what I wonder when people complain about the stigma attached to menstruation. It’s natural, but we have stigmas attached to all sorts of natural things that we’d rather people not talk about in public. And if we are going to be celebrating menstruation, it’s only fair to celebrate non-intercourse ejaculation as well, since both are essentially the same biological process. Personally, I’d rather we keep both topics out of polite conversation.
Fucking Trump! He’s a monster!!!! How dare he make artists trying to win Federal prize money depict hunting in a positive way!
Or highlight that hunting is part of species conservation.
But, but, but… Non-hunters buy those duck stamps too!
Except if you wonder how many duck stamps were bought by non-hunters and went to the press release to find out, you’d have a hard time. As far as I can tell, this is the extent of the FWS’ statement on how important non-hunters are to this program.
The fact that they don’t put a number on how many stamps non-hunters bought, tells me all I need to know about how many there were.
Personally, I think they should simply keep using the cover of the 1998 Minnesoda Hunting regulations. I’m sure even SF couldn’t improve much on that picture.
You hunt wild rice in MN?
Part of our traditional way of life white eye!
Lots and lots of rules about who can harvest wild rice and how. Go figure that it is heavily weighted in favor of the Ojibwe tribes.
I don’t have a problem with weighting that in favor of the tribes given they have a treaty. Renegotiate if you want, but recognize that it hasn’t been really renegotiated, the US just changed the rules and despite the rules being weighted in their favor, they’re not getting rich. They are worse off than if the treaty had been honored. It’s a small sop.
The funny thing about that cover is that I didn’t even notice that it might be misconstrued by non-hunters until a coworker walked by my desk back in 98 and burst out into gales of laughter when he saw it.
That was a year of a lot of “I’m taking the nephews hunting” jokes.

Jane, you cunte, are you telling us that God killed more than 200,000 Americans just so He could give a gift to the Left? I’m sure that Jane, you cunte, wouldn’t approve of, say, Rush Limbaugh, claiming RBG’s death was God’s gift to the Right.
All those boys who died in Vietnam were a gift to Ho Chi Minh.

The virus “is traveling through the air and there is no bright line. You’re not safe beyond 6 feet. You can’t take your mask off at 6 feet,” said Dr. Donald Milton of the University of Maryland School of Public Health.
AFRAID! BOO!

Lord have mercy, if Biden does win they’re going to follow the experts like these and shove this shit down our throats with extreme prejudice. I hope everyone’s finances can stand a new three month shutdown.
Very few people’s finances can withstand an economic collapse. Sooner or later, lockdowns will cause one. Given delayed knock-on effects on commercial real estate, lending, etc., we may learn that 6 months is all it takes.
Heh.
I remember back to February when my financial advisor was telling us that we had too much money in cash and we should give it to him to invest. My response was simple: “Nope.” I want an immediately-available cushion. Not interested in governments or financial services agencies providing me with a backstop, as they take way too long to get cash into my hands when I need it (and usually have too many strings attached).
Needless to say, he wasn’t happy. At our six-month review afterwards, he was remarkably contrite, and hasn’t suggested making that cash “work harder for you” since. ;-)
Love the assumption (without evidence) that you are safe if you have a mask, any mask, on.
I thought that was counter to advice anyway. Masks being to protect the other person and all.
I think the WHO just put out a statement that the virus can be transmitted by quantum entanglement. Fauci so say the same tomorrow.

Seriously, they are already sitting atop the regulatory mountain. They can only gain in importance.
I’m sure they mulled it over awful hard.
“JAMA endorses Biden”
Where does it say that?
“But truth is neither liberal nor conservative. When it comes to the response to the largest public health crisis of our time, our current political leaders have demonstrated that they are dangerously incompetent. We should not abet them and enable the deaths of thousands more Americans by allowing them to keep their jobs.”
Not explicitly, just very strongly implied.
Wake me up when Cuomo loses an election. ?
And whoops, wrong org. Should have been New England Journal of Medicine.
That was my other point 🙂
When I engage I ask what it is that Trump did/didn’t do that should have been done/not done. I never get an answer, unless shrieking is am answer.
On the days he claimed he had it “under control” he should have at least had a policy.
On the days when he said it was none of federal government’s business, he should have shut up.
Unprincipled men can be wrong multiple ways; dumb men insist on showing it to everyone.

I usually get: shouldn’t have disbanded the Chinese CDC office (didn’t, just reduced personnel at the worst possible time; prior to the Kung Flu), he decimated the PPE supply (which was designed to handle a region problem, not nationwide; but States were getting large sums and not utilizing it properly), he botched testing (this one they get, agencies did what agencies do best and royally messed that up).
Sounded like a full throated apologist…Don has the best answer to this
He should ask Biden for details of his “plan” next debate. All I got last time was raising taxes and giving businesses masks. Not sure why the federal government needs to give businesses masks.
It’s kind of rich for a bunch of doctors to blame this all on other people.
Also, I doubt that their preferred political choice, Xi Jinping, is on the ballot anywhere in the U.S.

So is Mr. Katt blind blind? Or just hard of seeing. Because what use is the re-sizing options to him if so? I get the headings/labels, as a text-to-voice reader can pick those off, but it sounds like just as I put previously, he is an ADA Troll.
There must be a grandfather clause. Otherwise (say) the NYC Subway would be sued out of existence for not spending the two or three trillion dollars it will take to handicapabilize the remaining 400 or so stations that aren’t currently accessible.

So I just returned my rental car and discovered a new winner in the “Stupid counter intuitive Covid rules” competition. You can no longer do an after hours return. That’s not a typo. You must return the car in a face to face meeting with the staff, handing them the keys and allowing them to climb into the car you just exited, because dropping the keys in the box after hours creates a risk of exposure. The prior leader was when the casino hotel I stayed in Sunday night solely because I wanted to veg and have room service, explained to me that for my safety they could not deliver food to my room but I could walk through the casino to the coffee shop, order my food, wait in the public area, then carry my food back across the casino to the hotel and up to my room.

VA burial benefit form says mail to regional office. VA website says regional office only does in-person acceptance. Government, we are here to help.
I guess it fits with the complaints….was supposed to be a new post.
Yesterday was my first visit to the office of a specialist MD in quite a while. When we got there, they had sent us a message that we had to call this number before we enter the building. So, while still sitting in the car, I call the number, which was apparently a central office number. So I had to stay on the line while they called the local office and them wait for the local office to call us back telling us we can enter.
So we get in to the lobby and receptionist person tells us they must take our temperature. Then we had to take off our masks and put on their masks. Tell me how that makes any sense? You even fill out a form wearing a mask when you use reading glasses? It fogs up your glasses.
None of that makes any sense.
I’d prefer ‘doesn’t make any sense’ we seem to have moved past that and into “let’s make up rules that INCREASE people’s exposure to the disease and see if we can get the morons to go along with them to protect people”. I am becoming convinced that we live in the Matrix, and that it is programmed by 4chan.
The bar theater is beyond parody where I live. You can’t sit at the bar. But you can sit at a table. No masks if you have a table, but you can run around the bar from table to table at a sports bar mask less. But if you stand in the corner by yourself you must wear a mask
I live very close to the county line dividing NYC and Lawn Guyland (Rockaway Peninsula/Nassau County line). Here in NYC, I can only drink out of doors, on my local’s patio, masked unless sipping or eating, and I have to purchase food to drink on premises. If I drive a couple miles to Long Beach, I can drink, unmasked, at the bar and they drop a very stale wrapped bagel down to comply with Cuomo’s dinner mandate (their sign touts The Shine’s Bar All-Day Buffet – Critics rave “It’s food.”); masks are required while standing but not while seated. Such a clever, clever virus it is.
Can’t wait for the new OSHA rules that come out of all of this.
You may no longer wear faceshields while welding, instead you must wear a cloth mask. Faceshields do not comply with the mask order! (I base this on a report I read (probably here) about someone being fined for having their staff wearing face shields (which would seem likely to stop droplets) because the order said masks (which would seem less likely to stop droplets) I want to move to Idaho or S Dakota where no one I saw was wearing masks. Utah left the running because they were even more mask happy than here in Ohio. Montana was a mixed bag. Do any of you westerners know why the Indians are so thoroughly paranoid about the Covid? The little restaraunt I always stop at (across from Little Big Horn) was carry out only, very strict (although polite) about masks and insisted that you not wait in the restaraunt for your order (may have been an attempt to drum up gift shop business). Also all the rez casinos seemed to be closed for the duration (not that I have any interest in those, I just found it odd)

NEJM has an editorial out about how the US has failed miserably in fighting COVID compared to everyone else. It’s essentially a full throated endorsement of authoritarianism by public health experts.
It even starts the article by taking China’s numbers at face value and praising their response.
And I know people who are taking it seriously.

“The death rate in this country is more than double that of Canada, exceeds that of Japan, a country with a vulnerable and elderly population, by a factor of almost 50, and even dwarfs the rates in lower-middle-income countries, such as Vietnam, by a factor of almost 2000.”
Yeah, I’m sure those numbers are legit. A factor of almost 2000 my ass.
Yeah, that doesn’t sound at all possible.
They just make shit up anymore. Even when it’s debunked and ridiculed, they’ll still insist it’s 100% fact.
“It’s essentially a full throated endorsement of authoritarianism by public health experts.”
The whole Wuhan virus response is an excuse for control freaks–public officials and private snitches–to turn loose the totalitarian raging to get out of them.
Think of the Chinese Death as the left’s Reichstag Fire and the whole fiasco makes sense.
