I’m casting the next three horoscopes simultaneously, since on the 21st I’ll be on the road and no idea where I’ll be on the 28th, but there will be puppies involved. So there’s going to be some really impressive, risky predictions being made for me to demonstrate my astrological prowess. But not this week. This weeks’ are pretty normal.
To wit: this week starts off with Mercury passing between the Earth and Jupiter, while at the same time, the Moon is aligned with the Sun and Venus. This changes (as we discussed with the mon’s constructions being ephemeral) with the Moon passing between the Earth and Marson on either Wednesday or Thursday, depending on your time zone. The first bit in isolation means that there will be big news on the domestic front, with those planets being in Aquarius indicting that’s it’s positive news, not negative. However, in the second construction indicates the rising to power of a woman and I just can’t see how Kamala taking over from Joey is good news. So for an alternate interpretation we can see since the Moon is in Aries, and Liz is a tough old goat, that maybe we’ll see an amusing smackdown of the Sussexeses? The influence of Pisces here also gives the potential for some (literal) pratfalls to be involved. I certainly hope so.
Typically we talk about where the planets are but this week provides an excellent opportunity to discuss how to interpret the ways that the planets move. The moon moves between two different constructions, and within those constructions we see the ideas of complementation. We see movement from the Sun to the Earth, and from Venus to Mars. When you’ve got a matched or complete set, that’s considered particularly auspicious, since “complete” is a synonym for “perfect.” This is also why “The World” is such an auspicious draw in the Tarot, since it represents total completion (and is also why it’s numbered 21 — the last of the Major Arcana). Because these sets are also those of romantic/sexual couples when you consider the Gaia/Uranus analogy, this would be a great time to try and conceive (though it would be even better if Scorpio was involved). Unfortunately, this transition is also a negative one, from refined to gross, heaven to earth, love to war. Again though, I’m having trouble seeing how you could ever represent Biden with Venus or the Sun. So, I don’t think that Wednesday night is when POTUS becomes non compos mentis, but I also can’t get that nagging thought out of my head.
The cards say the back half of the week is going to be rough.

Gemini: 2 of Swords – Conformity, balance, vengeance, no peaceful options
Cancer: 10 of Coins reversed – Chance, fatality, loss, robbery, games of hazard, gift, dowry, pension.

Cancer: 10 of Coins reversed – Chance, fatality, loss, robbery, games of hazard, gift, dowry, pension. – that is way to broad to give any good information
Capricorn: The World reversed – The end of troubles, suspension or cessation of adversity, toil and disappointment.
*empties IRA, buys all the Powerball tickets I can*
IT’S A TRAP!
Leo: 8 of Cups – The decline of a matter, or that a matter which has been thought to be important is really of slight consequence, honor, modesty
Not sure what that means. I think I’ll go for a walk.
I just ignored the rest.
Also, roguery is is OK. If it’s of the Han Solo variety.
Unfortunately, Adahn read that wrong and meant prudence and circumcision.
“Skill, bravery, capacity, defense, address, enmity, wrath, war, destruction, opposition, resistance, ruin.”

Unremarkable. Heard this on the radio this morning: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=cZC7cKiXbeM
BTW, not gonna work,
no idea where I’ll be on the 28th
Ask the stars to tell you.
The decline of a matter, or that a matter which has been thought to be important is really of slight consequence, honor, modesty
This doesn’t sound sufficiently shitty to be accurate.
Hard to trust an astrologanomoner when they don’t even know where they will be.

Anything in the cards for Aries about green poop? Hashtag Shamrock Shake
I had to remind myself all morning that I drank green beer last night.
hahahaha!
BWAAAH HA HA!! (Points and laughs while staying within 3 steps of the head due to three days in a row of copious amounts of boiled cabbage)
I’m DED!! LOL
(cabbage gives me the best farts)
Girl Farts are already the worst, why add to the misery?
Farting is hilarious no matter who’s doing it
Agreed, but You Ladies have something extra going on, My Mom? OMG!!! run!
Aaaaah! First straffinrun’s horrible picture on Zoom and now this! TMI people! TMI!
Truth.
I love talking about bodily functions. I generally think they’re funny AF ?
Should I tell you about the time I shit my pants farting? at Work, in front of everyone……..
Never force a fart.
No, Shit

Try having lunch with a group of nurses. ???
It’s all about things they pull out of people’s asses, isn’t it?
My wife is a pelvic floor therapist, I have to keep reminding her that I am trying to eat.
“Today was the first day I felt someone with a hysterectomy, its weird, it just ends…”
Completely disgusting and can’t convince her that my opinion about what is gross matters. No one wants to hear about 90-year old nun vagina.
My wife is a pelvic floor therapist
Does she teach women to launch ping balls and ‘nanas?
Aaaah, I see you have been to Thailand.
No no no. I just work with a bunch of jarheads.
That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.
I mean, Jackass is one of my favorite TV/movie series
In fact, I was thinking about writing about this one night in Istanbul…
go on…..
You bailed out from the zoomy too early. 6:30 in the AM found Straff and NW watching me make corned beef.
Ah, sorry I missed it.
Anyone else seeing a message from windows saying that “your version of Win 10 will end it’s service life soon – download a newer version of Win 10 to stay supported” ?
Does it involve any additional payments?
nope. never got that. what is your version?
Windows Insider, I’m constantly updating, 21 years now, time flies….
Negative. I’m guessing that there’s a link in the pop up? If so, odds are you’ve got yourself some malware on your box.
Windows 7 just ended it’s service last year, so yeah, 10 will be supported for the next at least 5. And Windows 10 isn’t known for asking permission to download or reboot or even warning you when ‘critical’ updates are issued.
No, but I use Linux.
I’ve never seen a message of that type. Like Yusef, I also get the Windows Insider Developers Updates; I had to opt for the slower track because back in 2018/19, they were pushing new OS builds out every week or so and it was a pain to reconfigure stuff that often. Is there an update available?
I have –
Windows 10 Pro
Version 20H2
OS build 19042.867
Windows Feature Experience Pack 120.2212.551.0
” back in 2018/19″ yep, that was nuts for a while, but I have Never had an issue with updates, my programs still run fine, and ASIO helps for the Sound card issues and DAWs, in fact it’s the prefect solution, Bypasses Windows audio completely,
here,
asio4all.org
That sounds like a virus/malware.
Its the windows 10 update icon in the bottom right of the screen – normally get an orange highlight when its going to “update and restart”.
Update – just checked my settings. Although my work machine already picked up the 1909 update this machine apparently didn’t even though it has done some time consuming updates the last couple weeks.
Guess its just the patch.
I got that too Fish.
Too suspicious.
Besides no one gets support for windows 10 unless you’re an enterprise customer.
I won’t inflict a link on you, but there is a long NPR tearjerker about some girl (a TWIN, no less! Healthy, vibrant, full of life…) who died of the plague despite not testing positive for it.
It’s tragic, and it sucks, but I can’t shake the suspicion they want me to blame myself for that woman’s death a year ago because i don’t want to wear a mask today.
It would suck if she died in a skydiving accident, too, but at least nobody would expect me to blame myself.
If she didn’t test positive how do they attribute her death to the plague? Hell, even gunshot victims are only classified as plague deaths after a positive test.
^this.
Guessing she didn’t die from the vid, maybe some other virus.
Why isn’t everyone self-flagellating for spreading the common cold and flu for the past billion years? Fuck off.
All deaths are plague deaths.
Wait… why you calling this the plague? I’ll have you know, this is not the plague, this is single most cleverest, tricky virus in history that is 1 million times worse that Ebola, the Spanis Flu, and Small Pox combined! Right now it’s mutating again to get us once again! And the only cure is for you to wear 5 mask and don’t go outside! I mean unless you’re an illegal alien coming across the border and then it can’t hurt you and you don’t need a mask, or tests, or a vaccine.
it is the mask butterfly effect. you could have saved that poor twin
Oh, crap! I’d better go see my phrenologist, stat! Couldn’t hurt to have my humours adjusted, too. For all I know I may be both bilious and phlegmatic.
I suggest a good Bleeding for those Humours,
But I’m bleeding already!
Rub some dirt on it and wrap it with Duct tape! We got work to do!
Anyone else seeing a message from windows saying that “your version of Win 10 will end it’s service life soon – download a newer version of Win 10 to stay supported” ?
I haven’t seen that (yet), but this is the first time I have even turned this computer on in months. I’m thinking very very seriously about doing a partition/reformat to duplicate the Elementary Linux system I have on the laptop I ordinarily use. I really like the solid state hard drive.
You don’t Reformat, you Format,

I’m guessing that there’s a link in the pop up? If so, odds are you’ve got yourself some malware on your box.
“Welcome. Oh, by the way. We control the vertical. We control the horizontal…”
If she didn’t test positive how do they attribute her death to the plague?
It was early on. I think they want you to assume there wasn’t a reliable test available.
Because they are lying?
TMI people! TMI!
*nods vigorously*
Good News! I didn’t lose any sleep over daylight savings switch because I was at work!
Bad News! I had to work an extra 4 hours (well, better news it was only 3hrs because of the switch), and now I’m not tired enough to go to sleep for my next shift!
Good News! I wrote a new cartoon!
Bad News! Work tonight is gonna suck.
Cartoon good! Work Bad!
Good luck CP
I was just riffling through some stuff on a shelf, and came across a pack of masks I bought some time last summer.
“This is not a medical device, and is not personal protection.”
OF COURSE NOT! It is ‘Personal Protection Equipment‘, PPE muthafluvva!
That sounds like it could be bad–like, that major thing that has been going on in your life is now just a paper cut compared to the Poe-like pendulum imminently making lunchmeat of your chest.

Ahhhhh….yep, that’s probably it
All I see is a download link.
Then your shits all fucked up and retarded.

Slimy, cowardly, apparatchik. Also, how much do those fancy FedGov branded disposable bottles of water cost the tax-cattle?
Ah, you noticed that too, say 5$ a bottle?
A quick search does not indicate who the lucky recipient of this grift is.
I don’t know why he doesn’t just say ‘Just answer the question!’.
Is there a dearth of dermatologists in DC?
That’s just that her dot is misaligned and off color. Do you recommend the requirement of a federally licensed dot maker to make dots, or can dots be made at home? Just answer the damn question!?
She’s a coward. I’d just tell Cotton there that yes I advocate for the legalization of all drugs. So?
On the racial bias thing, yeah, she’s a shameless liar.
Tri-tip came out great.
(Suthen, skip the next sentence)
Served with cheesy avocado drizzled with tangerine balsamic on the side.
That sounds great, screw the Avo haters,

happy rotten eggs?
Provincial,
Would.
I always put a couple pats of Kerrygold unsalted butter on top of the meat when it comes off the grill.
By Recce from the Glibs, KerryGold on all Beef.
Thank You!
I only do this on the tri-tips and sometimes on filets.
Mmmm… Kerrygold.
I don’t know about the unsalted part, though.
Name of the local sperm bank chain?
Bitcoin about to hit $60k. Mr Mojeaux wants to bail now.
I keep hoping it will come down to something more reasonable, but I think I simply missed the boat. Ah well. I remember seeing it at like $600 and thinking that was too high.
<dummy, apparently
I think most everyone who got in past the early days of mining missed the boat.
I was struggling to get a Mt Gox account when it was $18, then it shot up to $1000, so I missed the boat, but it wasn’t my fault.
And when I say missed the boat, I mean, I could drop $1,000 at $18. I couldn’t afford to drop $1,000 at $1,000 because I didn’t think it would ever go much higher than that. Then our house kept us broke.
It was up over 60k last night and I thought about you. I’m holding until it gets over 100k, even if it takes a few years.
That’s what I’m leaning toward doing.
Thing is, our investment was $50. Then Mr Mojeaux won $100 in BTC, so our total stake is, well, $50.
Ditto. I have $50ish in BTC and $200 in XLM. I may sling some more into XLM, but the BTC is a small buy and hold play in case it doubles again.
Let me know if he does. I’ll buy in and tank it for you. Then you can get back in. 🙂
Oh no. I’m in charge of trading. It’s up to me.
Oops, sorry. Well let me know. Also, if there are any other investments you want destroyed markey corrected. I’m your guy.
*market*
There it is. $60,125.
I say pull it now, financial disaster is ahead, 60K/ yep,
Do any of y’all work?
On every day that doesn’t end in ‘y’.
Slacker!
So I just test drove my new pan after seasoning it yesterday. Two eggs scrambled with green onions, black olives and colby jack. The non stickness was legit ok. Way better than my stainless pans. I am a fan.
That is a low bar.
True. My stainless pans suck. I hate them but I cook on an induction top so they do work. I have a great nonstick aluminum pan but no go on the cook top and I have to use my backup burner to cook with it.
Not sure what is in it except for collard greens, but my wife fried up this stuff she calls Couve.
She just told me it’s collard greens, onions, garlic, farafo and olive oil. OMG, that stuff is great.
Nice, I have the Misen stainless skillet and it’s great. I’ve been thinking about the carbon steel but will probably grab their 8 qt stockpot next.
We have a lot of different stainless steel pans. I love them them all. One of my favorites is these cheapy ones called Potobelo, made in Italy. The bottoms look like copper, but I don’t think they’re pure copper, I think they have some copper in them.
My wife has all of these that have no stick coating on them, that always eventually get all scratched up and the coating comes off. A good stainless steel pan lasts forever.
I hate our nonsticks for exactly that reason. Wife isn’t as meticulous as I am about washing and using each kitchen tool per manufacturer instructions, so they’ve been scraped with metal utensils and run through the dishwasher a time or ten.
That said, I’ve never been able to maintain a quality seasoning on my cast iron pans. They always seem dirty rather than seasoned. Clean them well and food sticks again. Clean them gently and my eggs turn brown.
I have an Imusa skillet that I absolutely love. It is blued? or anodized?, I am not sure which. It is my favorite skillet. I finally got tired of tossing ‘non-stick’ skillets down the side of the hill so I bought a pre-seasoned steel skillet and fell in love on the first day.
I told myself I would do the dishes at 3pm. Dammit.
See y’all later.
Stop letting you tell you what to do!
