At ninety pounds, Lily now has the strength/mass combination to handle Daisy
At least there’s stuff to write about this week. Expect something significant to happen war-wise on Tuesday since Mars and Mercury will be in balance. Thursday is complicated. It’s honestly not a good sign, primarily because of the Saturn-Venus interaction. That typically signifies the end of romantic relationship. The odd thing about that is the part of the construction that indicates the cause of this collapse is one of those passive/exonerative voice sentences. So, like your house falls down for no apparent reason and that makes your partner decide to bail? If you’re going to take any comfort in this, it should be that it’s a) not your fault and b) you’re not going to see it coming, so no need to worry about it. The only mitigating action you can take is to strengthen relationships beforehand. However, if you make it through Thursday, on Saturday Venus has decoupled from Saturn and hooked up with Mercury, so it’s a great time to rebuild that relationship in an up close and personal fashion.
Daisy does not like not being unable to dominate Lily
Pisces: The Blank Card – Choose your own adventure.
Aries: King of Cups reversed – Do not trust the “righteous.”
Taurus: Ace of Swords – Sometimes hitting it harder is in fact the right thing to do.
Gemini: 10 of Wands reversed – Taking on extra problems will drag you down.
Cancer: 7 of Cups – Promises are worth less than usual.
Leo: An invitation from someone better-off than you.
Virgo: 7 of Wands reversed – Outnumbered (but not outgunned).
Libra: 6 of Coins – Be judicious in your giving.
Scorpio: Page of Wands – Events are pretty insignificant this week.
Sagittarius: King of Coins – A rich guy is important to you.
Capricorn: 8 of Wands – There is a goal, and then there are obstacles to that goal. And then there are the issues you overlook while focusing on those obstacles.
[Editor’s Note: Sorry, Aquarians, but Not Adahn didn’t provide a fortune for you this week.]
Ghost is still stronger than Lily
This is my default state
No shit. I’ll be stunned when I am advised otherwise.

Sidebars are an afr4ont against The Great Firster.
Firsting is the one and only true religion.
You did notice you were second on this post. You’ll need to beg the great fister for forgiveness.
Catbutts, on the other hand, are well-deserved for self-styled “firsters”.
Calling for catbutts is the most non-libertarian thing one can do and warrants a catbutt.
Noted.
Sagittarius: King of Coins – A rich guy is important to you.
But not in a good way?

Yeah, I’m okay with a quiet week too.
You’ll notice that there were zero majors drawn this week.

Ted’s was correct: after a predicted 0-3″ of snow, we got about 18. +
I got some potential snow wrestling vids for next week.
I was just reporting what I saw on the local news.
Sorry about missing Aquarius. I’m at that early part of a new relationship where I’m not getting nearly enough sleep.
There will be no dawning of the age this week.

I wish I had met her a couple decades and fifty pounds back.
Alright, I’ll ask:
Whose 50 pounds are you referring to?

Mine. Though now that I think about it more closely 20 years ago she would have been underage.

Taurus: Ace of Swords – Sometimes hitting it harder is in fact the right thing to do –> Yep. More eyes, applications and follow-up with my Full-Time job search. My part-time gig with affluent, spoiled elem kids is many things. Continuing to be a ‘decent’ fit for my schedule is mostly off-the-radar now. I no longer have an outpatient schedule to mesh w work.
I’m quite happy doing anything, really. I prefer Tasks > People, though I’m quite a good Face to put on to the public. I have a secretarial/esque appointment tomorrow Wittingham Agencies. Tomorrow is just the vid-before a theoretical one-on-one interview/further, but they did reach out to me several times.
*Snip*
Well, I forgot to post this a few hours ago. Things have mostly remained the same. May be taking work off tomorrow for a couple of appointments, new dog and house responsibilities for the day (which is legit lovely)… and hopefully things expand from there.
Sounds like green light for dumb decisions. I’ll take it!
Two horses-in-harness, you and I.
Lily kicks some dog butt. I’d hate to see what she does to a cat but who knows?
And here I thought it was because they avoided showering.
Teenagers have a reputation for smelling, well, just a tad bit funky. According to the latest research, that stereotype might be more than habitual adult bias against the teen cohort—it could actually be rooted in solid science.
Sorry, Aquarians, but Not Adahn didn’t provide a fortune for you this week.
We know when we are not wanted.
What were you doing forty years ago?
This could’ve been me, but I never got detention.
I was -3 years old. Family was still in Bluefield, WV, where I was born.
Bro woulda been nearly 3. The Birth Order Theory is succinctly shown in me and him. He was always the patient, measured one. Adding my chaos further refined it. ‘Nicole’ is a laser of intended action. I, the Knave, am a prism of exploding interests, each fascinating and distracting. Much more to learn from him.
Ah, Bluefield. Was there in 1985 on business. Gray and snowing. Noise of Norfolk Southern coal trains 24/7. Perhaps the only place I’ve ever been where I had no clue which direction was north, south,east or west.
That is actually…beautiful. My family is in WV, then I come along…and direction comes!
That a chaos tornado like me brought ‘order’ to the family is funny and fitting.
Forty years ago? I plead infancy.
Stop making me feel old!
Hell, I was out of college let along HS. You think YOU feel old!?
I was… less than two.
I was over 30 and about to discover a career.
Already out of college and in my first career.
I was finishing up paramedic school.
same guy, same game: SEC chicks, man
Listening to Duran Duran. Detention? Certainly not!
🌊
See… you could’ve gotten all your misbehavior out of the way when you were young, clearing the way to a respectable, prosperous adulthood.
Kids that rode the bus couldn’t get detention. Some punishment like plagiarizing 2 pages out of a textbook was in order. I did my homework on the bus ride home, any classmates copied mine on the way to school the next morning. 70 years ago.
I never once got detention. My bro got suspended in middle school for having torn jeans on his knees. Mid-90s. I got away with everything in the inaugural class Signature School, the first public charter school in Indiana, which is worth a look and probably a submission. I was a good student, but also feisty. I was given a massive leash cuz me and only two others were the only kids to take (and pass) five AP classes senior year. I bought my own car in high school for $1800, though ‘rents picked up the insurance. (Still do. Sigh.) Everyone else but my best friend had their cars ‘on loan.’ My car was the place to drive around and get stoned after school. A few times, I’d head out on an open ‘study class,
where I wasn’t at all monitored, I’d sometimes take McDs/etc orders and literally deliver them to kids still in class, taking my cut. I was three hours short of being a sophomore when I started at IU-Bloomington. I didn’t graduate early. Took 12 hours/week and had a job and place with cool roommates. That was a good time.
Youth is wasted on the young: I had SO many sexual opportunities that I still regret missing. Lindsey, hottest girl in school, dressed in her high-school sluttiest in my car with her friend, told me “We want to suck your cock” and we went to their place.
I…didn’t take it to the hoop. Dammit, Ev.
I caught a Saturday detention (a la Breakfast Club) my junior year.
The offense (and I still have the “disciplinary referral”); “student wrote Anarchy Now on tuba bell at football game”
Im kinda proud of that.
You very well best be. No ‘kinda’ bout that. (Special respect if it was chaos with SOME order. (I assume writing on tuba can be wiped off.)
It was one of those fall evenings where it had been in the mid-80s all afternoon, then cooled off rapidly enough that the humidity condensed on the brass, giving me a fresh, clean, palate to work with. As with a fogged bathroom mirror after a steamy shower, and I wrote on it with my finger. I had no idea that under the bright lights of the football field it would stand out so….clearly.
I saw the film late, sometime while I was in college. Anyway, my HS experience wasn’t very much like any of that. Our “cliques” such as they were were open to anybody. Maybe that’s how it was in most schools.
Detention, or In-school suspension?
I got both.
40 years ago? Finishing up my senior year at college. Took mushrooms that spring before a Philosophy class (not the first time I mixed psychedelics and Philosophy, if memory serves). Turned out to be the final exam. I got an A.
Those profs did more to prepare me for law school than anything else. After getting my major in Philosophy in a small department (3 profs, and 3 majors my year), law school was eminently manageable.
My Problem With Mansplaining: Jonathan Pie
Bluefield, W.Va is home to a Wampler-Longacre chicken rendering plant. We were retained to perform particulate emissions sampling from a number of sources, one was a feather/carcass incinerator.
I saw 2 guys lose their breakfasts once they got a deep whiff of that wonderous odor.
You probably just laughed off the smell. I mean, it’s no worse than what comes out of your anus after a night at the truck stop.
We visited the house we had there a while back. It was a nice building, but abandoned but with past squatters. We Walked through the house– ‘my’ room had a big flower painted on the wall. It was a pretty goofy experience, as the rest were talking about their memories of the place. Already named, we moved to Evansville when I was about six months old.
I have no one, nothing in Eville any more. We went back a while back, but I don’t remember it. Someone else lived in our house and the batting cage we had in the backyard, which was DOPE, and the trampoline we had, naturally placed next to a tall tree, were obviously gone.
Hrm.
I will be setting foot in WV for the first time this year. The match hotel is there.
In the event you’ll be in Parkersburg, North End Tavern does a tasty Reuben.
WV and UT are the only 2 states I haven’t been in.
You aren’t really missing anything.
I like WV.
National parks in Utah are awesome.
I honestly feel like they’re overrated.
Cool, but overhyped.

Poor guy probably just lives in a food desert. I blame white folks.
You know, cannibalism was not on my bingo card for today.
Apparently, in Idaho cannibalism is punishable up to fourteen years in the state pen.
Why fourteen years? Seems like an arbitrary number.
Also, what kind of cannibal would only get thirteen years?
I think he gets more sympathetic and the sentence goes down if he was just really hungry.

But would eating a Splash era Daryl Hannah constitute cannibalism?
I needz funding for the Sciencing.
Smells fishy.
If you only ate a little leg because you loaded up on the free salad & breadsticks ?

I have been assured by media personalities that such body types do not exist.
There’s no question Im a bad person, but I really dont have much issue with this.
Russian forces torture Moscow terror suspect by hooking his genitals up to 80v battery leaving him foaming at the mouth – and feed another his own EAR: Battered men appear in court as new footage emerges of the slaughter that killed at least 140
This is why when you pull your ISIS assignment you cross your fingers for a Western nation.
When your drawing the target out of a hat, close eyes and wish for Norway or something.
*you’re
…something fuck around something find out….
I mean that battery thing does seem a little harsh. It’s only 150 innocent concert goers mass murdered in cold blood. Chill out, Russia.
At least you are not in Russia, where they make you eat your ear for forgetting the apostrophe.
Teds’s hardest hit
Mmm, rabbit ears
Thats a lot of cabbage.
Six portions.
I found a recipe for the Hasenöhrl in English here.
If you ever visit, Kuby’s makes a heavenly Hasenpfeffer.
“Where’s my Hasenpfeffer?”
Fine…Ill do it.

Norway? No thanks, the cable package in their prisons doesn’t even have CNN of HBO from what I hear.
In seriousness though, torture just ain’t right but it’s hard to get worked up about it in this case though.
Wasn’t it ISIS that made a production out of streaming public beheadings? Seems fit that the russians show a little nut shock.
It’s like I said earlier. It’s not a wonder to me why American counterterrorism efforts are being supplanted by Russia in Africa.
Only issue is the ‘suspect’ part, the reason not to beat/torture confessions/info out of criminals isn’t because criminals don’t deserve it. It’s because A- it’s not a reliable way to get info/confessions, and B- if it turns out the guy you are torturing isn’t an evil criminal, you are an evil criminal.
Exactly.
And that’s the only issue I have with the death penalty administered by the state. Cops lie, prosecutors lie, paid informants lie…..sooner or later you’re going to kill an innocent person.
Now whos the murderer?
Also government will use it to extract confessions out of innocent people.
It’s not just that they may make a mistake.
of course.
And i thought that as they wheeled out those beaten to shit subjects for trial.
What if they got a wrong person in there?
Exactly. What if they made some guy eat his own ear because he was standing on the wrong street corner? Highly likely in this case as well.
That would be a crime in Idaho too.
Does anyone happen to have the link to the State Department identifying mail-in-ballots as a sign of election fraud?
Rhywun posted it a few times after someone else brought it here.
Yeah… long lost to me. And it’s not just “mail-in”, either. It’s basically every step we take.
Thanks for triggering a shitty Police earworm rhywun. Son of a…..
This is likely the best song by them.
Change my mind.
I know I like one or two of their songs but I’d have to figure out which ones they are and that would require me listening to a bunch of their songs and I’m not going to do that. So sure you’re right.
Nope, agreed.
One of the “I shoulda played that at my wedding” songs.
Not “Wrapped Around Your Finger”? 😉
Blech.
I was never a big fan and I settled on the one track I really like a long time ago.
Before I clicked I was gonna type “well, synchronicity isnt horrible”
But it is, The Police took a shitty music genre and somehow made it worse.
Sting was fantastic in the 1984 Dune. I was pleased to see his replacement do so well in the new one.
Can’t Stand Losing You, then Don’t Stand.
I just think “Finger” would make a great wedding song! 😄
If you’re married, fingerin’ is over.
Time to get down to business.
I guess if she’s a virgin then “King of Pain” works as a honeymoon song.
Nope. “King of Pain.”
Yes, one of my favorites.
Nice choice.
Thinking of a traditional wedding night, some cold water should get that out of the sheets.
This may be a problem.

She was hired by NBC News, I’m not sure that MSNBC saying she won’t be on their channel means she lost her job. I’d wager NBC News tells MSNBC what to do not the other way around.
Perhaps. Still I won’t defend her, ever. She looks and acted like an ineffective HR lady. One of the few people I will point the bone at.
I don’t follow internal party politics (and have no desire to), so I don’t know her or her history, I just read the article and it didn’t seem to say what the headline said it said.
I found an article from Newsweek in the Before Times of 2016 where they go over the five most….irregular/stolen elections in US history.
https://www.newsweek.com/top-five-rigged-us-presidential-elections-511765
But you are a crazy conspiratorial nutter if you suggest that modern elections with no paper trail and where the stakes are far, far higher than they were in the past with trillions of graft at stake could be compromised.
Good find. If I get time this week I will post some more myself.
This is EXACTLY what Steven Crowder attempted to do after the election and with a team of like 10 people he was able to find hundreds of addresses that were fictional tied to people who voted in 2020. Then Youtube banned the videos.
And this is for the crowd that likes to cite the nonsense about judges shooting down Trump’s evidence, or for sanctioning Kari Lake.
The Crowder video, for those interested.
But voter fraud doesn’t exist. Or it does exist and it’s not on a large enough scale to tilt an election.
What the heck gcc?
Throwing BS syntax errors on code that compiled just fine before?
The aircraft landed in the pudding, then went shopping,
.|.. ..|.
I’m debugging C code. Drop the aphasia.
Written pages and an open mind can dazzle oneself
Faith is confidence in what we hope for, and assurance about what we do not see.
-Hebrews something or other
I have written a lot of C+ its not rocket science. Grab some preexisting code and learn the syntaxes from there. If you want to headache it fine, but if you want to Do something just black box the code and changes the variables,
Good luck
You see, that doesn’t work when the code doesn’t exist in the wild.
I’m trying to figure out why replacing
with
Causes the compiler to flip out.
I missed a {
The else never opened. Got it.
This would have been much easier if the errors thrown were anywhere near the if statement.
Or instead of else?
I haven’t written code in 30 years, but our coding standards would have made that obvious.
if ( (digit == 0) && (pm == 1))
{
P1OUT |= SER_OUT;
}
else
P1OUT &= ~SER_OUT;
}
I have a bigger problem right now:
I need to trim 14 bytes off the compiled program to fit it on the chip.
Good luck with your project.
Thanks.
I just managed to squeeze it in
And yes, I probably should have some coding standards instead of my bad habits.
Best yet, find a tool to apply the standards for you.
Depends on where you’re writing the code natch
I’m writing in TI’s Code Composer Studio because it’s built to load the code onto the MSP430 series microprocessors.
I could use Energia, but I hate that IDE.
Don’t do low-level stuff myself so my help is probably at an end.
I got everything except using low power mode to fit.
I am a handful of bytes shy of the code to activate/deactivate low power mode from fitting on the chip.
I can’t find anything else to save space.
Firsts are the code of the universe.
Only if you are wearing your coding gloves.
How are y’all doing? I doubt folk are still ’round.
Pt 2 will come in a moment.
Sleep is for the weak.
I am outside, a major thunderstorm is about to come through. I may have to shut down and go inside.
I’m just getting off work. Stupid work.
I want spicey rice and pot stickers.
I had a stressful day, in my own way. More later. I didn’t have a seizure, not by any stretch, but certainly epileptic symptoms. Just left hand/forearm tremors, and a touch of olfactory trickery in the morning, which I’m not convinced was a hallucination. (It’s fun wondering if a hallucination was indeed one or not. Hrm. A hallucination^2. Not sure how that math works.
On the productivity, I had a fairly productive day, actually. I’m taking tomorrow off cuz I am watching a (most likely) bullshit intro that may lead to an interview at an agency I know very little about. Apparently, no experience is necessary. This is good. Full-time. Better. Hrm. I wrote a cover letter for an animal hospital that I would be quite good at, and am perfectly adept at the things I’d be responsible for. (small shit.)
I transcribed a rural Kentuckian Dad interviewed way back. The dude could spell shit backwards and was a very simple man. It’s a fun little story about a dude. Has no real importance, but is a great story about folk. I could link it if folk’d like to watch. I guess it reveals my last name.
I can control the tremors. I’m actually quite good at it. But there’s a tension that remains. I can tell that they’re still ‘there,’ lurking underneath. Predictably, they start back when I ‘relax’ and let my hand do what it wants.
I still feel the slight electric tingle of it. Well. It kinda feels like those nerves are tired, gettin’ sore. (Actually a pretty good tactical-analogy of how it feels.)
Parents are going on a day trip and I will be responsible for Peabody for a while, which I greatly enjoy and my psyche likely needs. As always, I’m quietly confident and remarkably chill about tomorrow and prospects forward. I gotta admit: I may be an interesting cat, but I sure don’t make it easy.
Long time, no post.
Not dead but a lot of health stuff where I got to the point I weighed more in middle school than now.
Upwards and onwards.
Right on and welcome back. We are certainly in different places in our medical struggles, but I give you a sincere and understanding nod.
Huh. My sign off for submissions (and life) has always been “Onward. Upward. Always.” I imagine ‘Great Minds Think Alike’ on that truth. It comes up soon In my piece about my mental state and recovery from my brain damage. It’s an interesting struggle and I always have to shut my damn mouth. I have it so fucking easy I can’t even imagine. ‘Blessed’ is far too soft a word.
Did it involve a furnace on Lake Labarge?
Whoa! What’s going on? Are you okay?
No idea. Docs can’t explain it other than it’s not AIDS or cancer. Nothing DI tract either.
Frankly it’s a lot of BS but I’m on this side of the soil so it beats the alternative.
Boom. Every step matters. Some warrant medals. Their jingle-jangle means something. Wear them with pride, cuz no one can take ’em away from you.
I’m in a different place than you. The Incident put me in a coma and the struggle onward continues. *sincere squeeze* Hang in there, bud. Each moment is one ya didn’t have before. That seed is there with prospects of further growth. Take care and indeed:
Onward. Upward. Always.
Wow! I’m sorry you are dealing with the unknown. I hope the doctors figure it out and you get better.
There are only four men left alive who have walked on the moon and the youngest is 88. And another three living who flew to the moon.
Apollo is becoming Vinland.
Didn’t stick the landing, but Apollo 13 has to be the craziest, (yuuuck– ‘out-there), human story of all time. Every single bit of it is the pinnacle of Man’s exploration, innovation, teamwork, and…everything.
Is there really anything that can come even semi-remotely close?
Well obviously Kubrick’s been dead for decades now but I think the gaffer and several of the carpenters are still around.
I just took 300mg of Trazadone to help me get to sleep. Sleep seems like it’ll come easier. Just now, my first really rewarding auto-erotic adventure in a few days has opened some wondrous pheromone pathways. Evan strongly approves.
Hopefully I’ll be drifting off to sleep in about 20 min or so. I hope everyone has a rewarding day tomorrow, myself included. I took the day off work, and am fairly confident I will have a productive day of my own–involving future work to rise above glorified daycare for spoiled, wealthy sprouts.

How’s it going so far?
Sleepy.

I got the program to fit with the low-power mode configuration without losing any of the logical functionality.
👍
That’s great! 😃
Please tell me you didn’t stay up all night to figure it out. 😳
Oh no, It was one of those things where the answer comes to me while I’m trying to fall asleep. I implemented it first thing after waking up and going through my morning routine.
😅
You stayed up until a quarter to five doing that?
Nope.
I sorted it while falling asleep and then actually put it in place after getting up.
Plus the timestamp on the comment is central time, it was quarter to six when I made the announcement.
“If you watched certain YouTube videos, investigators demanded your data from Google”
https://mashable.com/article/google-ordered-to-hand-over-viewer-data-privacy-concerns
God, does the FBI suck or what? We need to punish them by building them a new headquarters building.
If you are or ever have been employed by the FBI is sounding a lot more like a presumption of treason to me.
The investigators are many but remember, they are no brighter than we are.

…and a good MN morning to all, complete with lotsa fresh snow and more on the way…
Where did I last have that snow shovel?
Our boys in the FBI are prime targets for terrorist attacks. We need to design their HQ with that in mind.
To prevent arson, the HVAC system should be lined with asbestos.
To guard against radiological attacks, all the interior paint needs to be lead-based.
It’s hard to prevent against biologicals, but we can help boost their immune systems by raising molds and fungi inside.
Often these events have a telltale barometric effects, so each agent should have a manometer at their desk to monitor. I believe the mercury-filled ones are the most precise.
Sure beats the old days of having to lean on a librarian to find out what books you’d been reading.
Mornin’ all and sundry!
Mornin’ Beau.
