One of you two need to make the first move.
For Pisces, what’s it like being represented by fish? I guess this can also go to Pie since in his culture he’s also represented by unintelligent foodstuff. At least Scorpio gets a bit of danger and badassery associated with it.
This week, there’s not much to say. The skies of are empty until Saturday, and that day is actually pretty good. The focus will be on Venus, so it’s a good day for Venus-related activities. Enjoy. Otherwise, this week is very much the same as last.

That’s the best Leo horoscope in a long time.

Well that’s just peachy. Can you check again ?
I’d offer to swap but neither of us would gain… Ravage, violence, vehemence, extraordinary efforts, force, fatality.
Yep. Just another week for Aries.

I read it completely differently
Ha. Aries do that at their own peril.
Guess I picked the right week to go to Vegas.
Nice dog videos.
Concord, contentment, physical bien-être; also victory, success, advantage; satisfaction.
Not sufficiently shitty.
Sagittarius: 3 of Swords – Removal, absence, delay, division, rupture, dispersion

It’s just a scratch.
what is the official glibertarian position on petting dogs if you don’t know the owner? seems rude one one had but some of them are cute and seem happy for the attention (i am talking about dogs in yards i pass on the street)
Reaching into someone else’s yard, whether it’s for a pet, taking a flower, or picking a fruit crosses the line. If you get bit or shot, that’s on you.
Dog that comes up to you on the street? If the owner isn’t attached to a leash, pet away at your own risk. If it’s leashed and under control, ask first.
Same with chatting. If it runs up to your or along the fenceline, nice doggie all you want. Calling , instigating, or provoking? No.
i don’t do it but sometimes want to when the dog is all happy and wagging.
also you dont get shot in Romania we are not barbarians we do not have guns.
Just sabres and wooden stakes?
Y’all do have sharp pointy teeth.
To woman in grocery store with a French bulldog in her cart: I got her attention, pointed to the dog and asked “May I?”
The little booger growled a little at me when I ver y slowly. reached to pet it. since I had the back of my hand to it the little snip she gave me did little damage, barely drawing blood.
I did not flinch and laughed a little. “Well, I won’t bother her, poor little thing.”
Being good natured about it the woman relaxed. I thought she was going to throw me in her cart at that point.
She was a thirtyish divorce’ stereotype in life.
Sigh….if only I were not married and head over heels in love with my wife….
My position is always ask first.
And my question is usually something like “Are you friendly?” directed at the dog, cuz I don’t wanna get bit.

From the dedthred, in addition to assimilation of current foreigners, there needs to be an end to the anti-Americanism/guilt/grievance mongering indoctrination. That the immigration fraud from Somalia can continue to serve in congress spewing her tripe is exhibit A against any relaxing of borders.

I’ll pour a shot of rare breed in remembrance
The turkeys were never this far north….’til one day the DNR got involved. Now we have lots of them. So far I like them, they come everyday to feed under the bird feeders. Some folks have ‘special’ licenses and sort of chase them away but occasionally not all. Couple years ago there were several toms that would race to meet me and run around my feet in the event that I carelessly spilled some corn.

Oregon woman’s tongue measures 5.21 inches in circumference
She’s a flautist. Because of course she is.
I heard she entered a tongue-twister competition; the judges gave her a tough sentence. That may or may not be true. It’s hard to say.
Did the judge get a lashing for that?
Eww. Gross shit like that used to in the book before they dumbed it down.

Snowing for third day in a row. Still on the warm side, so not sticking except in the open where it can build up a bit before melting. Think I’ll go to the hardware store this morning.

Slow and low!
Top notch business journalism
The entire YouTube Music team is out of a job as tensions rise at Google parent company, Alphabet.
The Alphabet Workers Union, which represents workers at Google’s parent company, Alphabet, said Google laid off the YouTube Music team on Friday.
Some of the Alphabet workers found out about the layoff while they were speaking at an Austin City Council meeting in Texas, where the city council was set to vote on a resolution asking the company to negotiate with the union.
——-
In a statement on X, formerly known as Twitter, the union said the YouTube Music team was based out of Austin, and was receiving such low pay that some members were working multiple jobs to make ends meet.
“Even as workers contribute to the success of the billion dollar platform, they are paid as little as $19 dollars an hour and receive minimal benefits,” the union said.
——-
Cognizant, a professional services company that Alphabet contracted the YouTube Music team through, said in a statement that the workers were let go after their contract ended at its intended date, according to KXAN in Austin.
They’re not even Google employees, apparently. But don’t let that stop you from accusing Google of union busting.
The twitter was hilarious. Some dumbass is complaining to the city council about their job status live at a meeting and a coworker comes up and tells him on the air that they’ve all been fired. Then there’s a separate article that says they were actually contractors all along and apparently never checked the contract end date.
Some contract employees are hyper aware of end dates. Others aren’t, particularly if the contract gets renewed all the time or the new contractor picks up the existing contractees.

Cav973 – missed your post last night. Definitely not getting out of 40k – although I might be moving sooner than expected. I’ve got a ton of the Tyranids Army from buying a lot of 10th ed intro boxes – mostly for the Space Marines – I’ve traded/sold most of the Tyranids to a work buddy – but I’m not interested in the army. My main focus is the Marines, followed by the Votann (space dwarves) – I also have a ton of Necrons (egyptian terminator robots) models I may or may not sell in the near future.
Do you go to tournaments, or do you live in an area where it is east to find a game?
I’ve played all of one game with my work buddy. ;p
Planning for another game next weekend. We both started around the same time last August, but between work schedules – my travel, etc – we’ve been sunk in the building/painting stuff. Still haven’t made as much progress as I’d like, but it’s a fun hobby just like that. Eventually once I get most of my units where I like them, I’ll probably look more at other games – I think there are a number of stores in the Fredericksburg area that offer tournament type options – also Charlottesville, etc. Haven’t done a lot of research yet. Need to get more comfortable with at least the fundamentals.
If you know…you know
Obviously, with that link, I don’t know.
Thought I had it working. Maybe I need to look for monocle again…it’s a pain trying to do this manually: Link
Will back up that the 2nd Dune movie is pretty good. Caught it yesterday (rewatched part one on Prime – for $3.99 – on Friday night). Ending was still a little off – not as much closure as I recall from the book but it’s been a hot minute.
I don’t remember an ending in the book and I’ve read the damn thing like four times since I was a kid.
It’s been a while. I know Dune Messiah picks up after a bit, but I think Lynch’s ending was a little tighter than this one.
Got 10-12 quarts of spaghetti sauce simmering away, a little for dinner tonight, the rest for the freezer.

Thank you for that.
One of my fave things to cook. Never comes out too wrong.
Easy: https://lidiasitaly.com/recipes/marinara-sauce-2/
More complicated*: http://www.newyork-italian-food-wine-guy.com/2018/09/scorsese-family-sundaysauce-gravy-recipe.html
*have not attempted myself
OMG that is nuts
Agreed, my recipe falls in between those two – [waves hands] a little more than easy, a little less than complicated.
I understand it’s usually garlic or onion for the italiani, but not both. Depends which province, I suppose.
Garlic is obviously easier than onion, but I have never known it to melt à la Goodfellas.
I criminalize onions too often.
I hate turning my onions into delinquents, too. :-p
(Gotta love auto-correct.)
Mama Scorsese’s had onion and garlic (although the garlic, carrots and potato were removed before serving).
That was a [sic], Teds. https://proofthatblog.com/2021/06/21/grammar-giggle-can-i-get-criminalized-onions-with-that/
Hence the usually, JI.

With regard to one of last night’s topics of discussion, bentcarrot.com.
I miss all the interesting conversations
I know! I show up early and leave. And only Fridays. The Saturday night crew sounds fun.
TVs have been broken. Spouses have been angered.
Its hilarity.
I heard about the first one.
“….Peyronie’s disease with a palpable plaque and curvature deformity of at least 30 degrees ..”
Good Lord. When geometry gets involved, you’re sideways fuckin’ the woman at that point.
Yeah baby, I can hit that g-spot, just gotta rotate you a little.

Jeez what a day. Disc golf in wet rainy conditions, then I filled in as starter for the busiest course in the US, under horrible conditions. Everyone had a great time even with the storms, and many beers were consumed.

A frog in India has a mushroom sprouting out of it. Researchers have never seen anything like it
Last night’s dinner was:
buttermilk marinated fried chicken
cauliflower, bacon, cheese, sunflower seed salad
hash-brown casserole
and my walnut cake with brown butter-cream frosting.
I honestly couldn’t tell you what last night’s dinner was. I just put on tonight’s dinner. It’s beef.
Had French toast on Mrs Prole’s homemade sourdough. And ham. Mmmm.
First glass of homemade umeshu. Tastes pretty much like Choya’s. A little higher ABR because a) rhite ricker isn’t generally available around here so used neutral grain spirits diluted down, b) erred on the higher side to keep the batch from spoiling.
I’ve stockpiled rock sugar for next year (this year). Just need more jars and fruit. Think I might try cane sugar vodka as well.
*ABV
“cane sugar vodka” is just white rum.
Spoilsport, build some and get back to us.
I would think white rum is going to have a bit more rummy flavor vs neutral.
We all know Kane Sugar is street code for Nuke.

Hey there! Trying to get adjusted to retirement. Not official until the Ides of March (really. What was I thinking?), but nothing to do. Mrs. P’s annual mammo was a bit off, biopsy coming soon. Doc doesn’t seem too concerned, but it’s a little tense right now. How are you and TT doing?
Hangin’ in there. TT has a check-up with our GP this morning…after just starting up a new round of treatment & visits with his urologist. Never a dull moment. 🙄

Dune 2 is better than part 1 was.
Yes, Denny added a giant [insert sequel here], but he did at least do it within context of the book lore. Where Herbert mentioned things in passing, Denny explicitly kicks off the Jihad.
Yes, modern audiences bait is totally there. This version of Chani values being a stronk independent woman what don’t need no man more than her own lying eyes. They’ll either have to change her character going forward or write a new plot.
But even with those gripes, I enjoyed this one a lot more than part 1. During P1, I kept thinking “this is really beautiful, but I’m kind of bored.” In P2 I actively enjoyed watching what was going on.
I guess it’s not too surprising there are no Aquariuses here. There’s only three commentators and all of them are Aries.
Gemini here, he said sheepishly.
I don’t tell people when my birthday is.
I’ve been able to figure out a few by people posting their celebrations. Like I know that the late lamented Tundra’s is a prime numberin a month that was added by the Romans.
Morning All, I’d have been here earlier but dumped a cup of coffee on my keyboard. Damnit!
Anyway, all seems to be working.
As long as they’re dried off and not operated wet, keyboards are resilient to moisture.
