It’s everybody’s favorite time, astrologically speaking… MERCURY RETROGRADE! Stock up on ammunition, gold and water purification equipment, but you know, more so.
What does that mean this week? Well last week, we had the Venus-Sun-Mercury “Lucky in Love,” but insteading of moving out of alignment, Mercury decided to stick around but slam on the breaks and back over that resulting in Venus-Sun-MERCURY RETROGRADE “Unlucky in Love.” The really nasty bit is that it’ll be backing into Cancer on Friday, which means a) sucks to be you if you’re a Cancer, and b) be outrageously careful when driving, since the odds of dying in a distracted driving incident (or a prize fight) go way up then. This is intersecting also with the Earth and Mars, so be prepared for squabbles on the home front, likely related to the unlucky in love bit.
Cancer needs to be careful on Friday as mentioned earlier, But for the rest of the week Leo has to deal with it along with Mars, so be prepared for petty bitchiness and back-biting and a massive surge in prima-donnery. I’m not expecting to put up any new best scores since Sagittarius (the sign of marksmen) is hosting both the moon and Jupiter retrograde, both of which will be doing their damnedness to pull my groups apart and off-center. If you’ve noticed, most of the sky has gone retrograde, so prepare for the Force to not be with you for a while.
The cards tend to agree, 2/3 of the cards are reversed. And also really heavy on the swords and cups, so there’s some serious dynamic tension there, coupled with failure signs. Interestingly enough the two upright Majors are both virtues, so perseverance is advised.
Cancer: 7 of Wands reversed – Perplexity, embarrassments, anxiety
Leo: Queen of Swords reversed – Malice, bigotry, artifice, prudery, deceit
Virgo: Strength reversed – weakness
Libra: Justice – Equity, rightness, probity
Scorpio: 5 of Cups reversed – News, affinities, alliances, false projects
Sagittarius: The High Priestess reversed – Passion, ardor, conceit, surface knowledge
Capricorn: 6 of Swords reversed – Declaration, publicity, confession
Aquarius: 5 of Swords reversed – burial, obsequies
Pisces: 3 of Cups – Merriment, happiness, successful completion
Aries: 7 of Cups reversed – Desire, will, determination
Taurus: Temperance – Economy, frugality, moderation, management
Gemini: 4 of Cups reversed – Novelty, omen, new instructions
Leo: Queen of Swords reversed – Malice, bigotry, artifice, prudery, deceit
So, IOW, an average Tuesday night.
There’s more:
Sounds like a fun week.
Sounds like every week, to me.
Pisces: 3 of Cups – Merriment, happiness, successful completion
Finally a good one! So, you are saying I’m about to complete a business plan so bad-ass that people will be falling all over themselves to give me money? And that will make me merry and happy?
Or it could mean you are going to get drunk and laid.

Well played. I’m going to Home Depot or Lowes today to get a scratch and dent no-frills dryer. Fuckers out here trying to sell me some bullshit Andre The Giant sized wi-fi smart dryer for $1500.
Speed Queen.
That is all.
Is it worth it for someone who lives alone and doesn’t do much laundry? I’ve heard good things about them, but it seems like overkill for a bachelor who has very basic needs and requirements.
Probably. But they seem to be the only manufacturer that makes stuff the old fashioned way.
Mrs. Tundra wouldn’t go for them because she wanted the front load pieces of shit. Even after my Bosch stuff puked in less than 10 years.

I despise new appliances and needless tech. I swear there is a business opportunity out there for selling refurbished old school appliances.
Example of needless tech: Where I work, all the heating and cooling is “smart” so you can control the temp from “anywhere”. A few weeks ago an electrician was putting in a new electrical panel so shut off the electricity to part of the building. That part included the “smart hub”. When it all rebooted we no longer had control of any of the furnaces so while it was 95 outside the furnaces were running. A switch and a thermostat has worked fine since the development of electricity, but noooooooooo, we have to computerize shit so you can’t tell the damn thing to shut off. As far as I know they still haven’t figured it out and everything is shut off at the breaker panels.
There’s wi-fi controlled lightbulbs now. Nuts to that. Give me a switch or maybe a simmer switch if I’m feeling adventurous.
Simmer switch? Sounds hot.
I keep eyeballing a lot of the integrated smart home devices, security, doorbell, voice control, it’s getting pretty inexpensive. But, then I remember how cheap I ma and how i probably won’t use 95% of it and go back to browsing computer parts and sexy toys.
If it’s smart, it’s hackable and probably already feeding data to someone. No fucking thanks.
I’d gladly take a 30 year old Kitchen Aid washing machine design over an HE machine. And phosphate laundry and dish detergent.
Buy some TSP from a hardware store and add the appropriate amount to your soap.
I know. I’d like it in the soaps themselves, rather than mucking with another container.
Good news is I found Cascade Fryer Boil Out, used to be labeled as Cascade Professional, contains phosphate. Gonna give that a try.
Big agree. Hoping my Kenmore 80 series machines hold on, made in the US of A and I have repaired the washer and dryer numerous times. Stout and easy to work on, nicer than most new commercial units.
Anyone else have to look up “probity?”
No. I just assumed I knew what it meant.

Sagittarius: The High Priestess reversed – Passion, ardor, conceit, surface knowledge
Is that “surface knowledge” as in topographical exploration of a female body? I’d be cool with that.
I took that as “knowing just enough to be dangerous”
“Libra: Justice – Equity, rightness, probity”
Finally. Muh justice!!!
Anyone else have to look up “probity?”
It’s a euphemism, right?
Probity in a sentence: Did I pour too much gasoline on that pile of leaves I’m going to burn? Naaa, it probity be ok.
Being abducted was pretty trippy till the aliens got all probity.
It’s short for kombucha. Probi(otic) tea

Shut up – an expert is talking.
Dad had a white Mercury similar to the one in the photo. We hauled a tent trailer to Maine in 1969 and it burned a valve. The car was so wide and the intake manifold was so heavy that we had to lower the manifold with a 2×4. The intake manifold gasket was made in four parts and it was impossible to judge if we’d gotten all the pieces lined up. We must have set and re-set that manifold 30 times before Dad figured that we had it right.
sounds like you tangled with an FE, much of what would be the head, including the pushrod bores, is cast into the manifold

Just what I don’t need. Will this week be worse than last week, anything’s possible. Let’s hope not.
Yusef…my portable AC in the trailer is short cycling. Could it be an exhaust issue? I dont have that quite squared away yet.
Did you check the thermostat?
yes, don’t do that, if it can’t breathe it will blow up, seriously
If it weren’t a Glibs commenter, I’d like to see that on video.
mostly uneventful, it’s rare to actually watch it happen
Portable AC?
There’s your problem. Using those in a small space that is reasonably well sealed can cause issues. Need some outside air entering the space. They are such a terrible design, catering to the “I need something easy!” crowd.
could be low charge:
think of it this way: the less refrigerant mass you have, the faster that mass achieves any cut-out temperature/pressure
I wouldn’t suspect that in a system with no service valves that lives indoors.
absolutely correct: hermetically sealed systems seldom lost charge in the old made-in-America days
“Pisces: 3 of Cups – Merriment, happiness, successful completion”
if that’s true, then why am I here fucking around commenting, instead of finishing this project I’m apparently supposed to complete successfully

My printer seems to have failed. Goddammit. I have some hate mail to write/print/send. I guess I’m off to Bozeman to buy the cheapest printer on the shelf at Walmart.
No, don’t do that, get the next to cheapest, it has WiFi, so you can print from your phone or Tablet, 45$ instead of 35$
I invested in a laser printer about a decade ago. Still going strong.
Ditto – bought a business class laser that lasted about a decade and gave it to my niece.
Purchased a business class color after that and I’m currently on year 4 of that.
Inkjet printers a perfect example of the razor blade model – they exist only to sell you ink.
x2. My Brother multifunction laser is still going after 10 years. Only replaced it (with another Brother multifunction laser) because we wanted duplex printing. I took it to the office to have a personal printer there and continues to cruise along.
The toner hurts to buy but I’ve only refilled the black twice in ten years (with the second refill still over 60% according to the HP software). Beats buying $20-$30 ink cartridges every couple months.

Color me skeptical but I’m going to need more than a loosely sourced Infowar article, any actual court documents, rulings etc, that back this up? Where is that “I’ll take things that never happened for 500 Alex” gif?
Here ya go. Check out appendix A
Ianal, are the edits (done in pen) part of the original ruling or are they extraneous? do they hold any legal weight? who added them the judge, a lawyer te father?
TBH, I can’t tell without further research.

Mom is treating the kid like a fashion accessory.
Hell, some kids that age want to be Thomas the Tank Engine or a Stagasaourus.
Sure, their are crazy people out there (this kids mother for example), I mean the whole “Courts ordering” bit. That part seem rather sparse on actual details. perhaps since a juvenile is involved its different but I assume all court orders are public and it’d be easy to include them in the article, or link, at least. That’s why I’m skeptical.
BTW, the above link with the court document came from the infowars article. I didn’t have to search for it or anything, just had to RTFA
No you had to RTFA and then read a book and the appendix’s of said book that the article only linked to in a graphic that could easily be missed by someone perusing the text of the article. If it was in the article I would have seen it.
Next you’re gonna tell me that you don’t actually read the alt-text on Glibs articles!
Funny thing abou InfoWars I’d never heard of the place until Jones and the site got the Mega Ban Hammer. I then went there to find out what te fuss was and as expected – meh. Lots of click bait and self-refernetial stuff (I’m sooo persicuted). Definitley a point of view, but not anymore outragous than CNN if from another direction. It’s on my once-a-week list mostly for amusement. What’s with the all-video format? I hate that.
“not anymore outragous than CNN if from another direction”
Agreed. However, in spite of them both being (admittedly) hard right, I’d say both InfoWars and Breitbart both do more real journalism than CNN since they seem to show at least some inquisitiveness beyond strict party propaganda.
Shirley, you cant be serious.
With Infowars you know you have to read out the lizard people. With CNN you have to read out the Russians.
With Breitbart…. You just get Nazis.
^^Exactly.
The Breitbart shows on Sirius XM Patriot radio can actually be pretty good and relatively sane. They have several international panelists who have interesting perspectives.
I’m not serious, and please call me Shirley.

Reviews you’ll never use: Bacons from William Buckley Farms.
Reviewed here are three bacons – shown bottom to top – classic/streaky/belly, shoulder and jowl.
https://glibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/raw.jpg
Same bacon, cooked, minus testing pieces:
https://glibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/cooked.jpg
These bacons are all salty, but much less smoky that you would expect if you’ve had their hams. As such, these would probably be better as an ingredient in something else, rather than eaten out of hand. Of the three, the belly bacon is my least favorite. It’s not bad by any means, but the thing that makes pork belly unique is the way that the “fat” (which I understand actually contains a significant amount of connective tissue) gets transformed into that crumbly disintegrating in the mouth experience. And because of that, it loses out to the jowl bacon which is pretty much all that taken up several notched. It’s also less dense, making for a lighter bite and cooking faster. If you prefer the “meat” part of bacon, then the shoulder cut is going to be your jam.
I rate the belly cut bacon/bacon, with extra points going to the shoulder for meat lovers, and the jowl for fat lovers.
Overcooked bacon is a sin and you should be ashamed of yourself.
See how dark those bits were raw? I assure you the bacon was cooked impeccably — unless you’re one of those wiggly white heretics.
That bacon is not overcooked. Looks perfect to me.
Om nom nom.
Agreed.
You are a garbage person with garbage opinions and should be shunned in polite society. The edges are black, carbon black ,as dark as my cold cold heart, no one wants to eat ashes with their bacon. Be a better person.
I hate to agree with Hyperbole, but it does look like it was on the heat a few minutes too long.
First rule of Glib commenting: Never agree with The Hyperbole.

It’s worse than clicking on Ted’s music links.
Nothing is worse than that. Also I agree with hyperbole here.
Black with the smoke from smoking. Don’t make me go all Zapruder.
I will agree that burned bacon is just awful. This was delicious.
“…and we see the person cooking the bacon. As he turns it over, he moves it back, and to the left. Next piece – back, and to the left.”
When uploading those images, I noticed a certain something. Woo Hoo!
I didn’t read it tho. I will wait and read it with everyone else.
Not Adahn: thanks, I hope it’s something everyone can like. I’d hate to come back with a thud.
OMG. SNP is back?!?!?!11?!?!?!
MikeS: I can neither confirm or deny.
Obviously. Hyperbole is wrong so often that I can’t even.
Name seven times I’ve been wrong.
At this point, I think you should change your handle to Seven Times.
*slow clap*
Lord, How many times should i forgive The Hyperbole? Seven Times?
Ha. It’s funny because it’s true.
To get the fat to the perfect doneness the edges will get crispy. It is apparent you know not what well cooked bacon looks like and probably like chewy fat which is disgusting.
Jowl, please.
Speaking of Bacon… Where is Bacon Magic?
Not Adahn had him over for dinner.
I suffer from an embarrassment of riches when it comes to beer and bacon. Between Buckley Farms, Oscar’s Smokehouse, and Ommegang, I could live a short and very happy life consuming only local products.
Looks pretty good, except for he ruined parts.
This is why I love this place. Good natured arguments over bacon.
So you agree The Hyperbole is wrong as usual.

Had dinner with our ultra-lefty proggie SJW friend again yesterday. She’s not here now, so let’s talk about her…
So, we like to talk about lefties and SJW types and how much of what they see in the world is projection? Well, I got my dose of projection in spades yesterday. This SJW is the pinnacle of SJW – a never-had-a-relationship single woman who works for non-profit organizations, travelling the world from hell-hole to hell-hole while living in the swankiest conditions that the UN can find in the local area. While in one of those hell-holes she picked up a kid at the orphanage to bring home – Angelina Jolie style… you know, so she could virtue signal harder.
Because of this, we dined at CiCi’s pizza, an all-you-can-eat buffet, popular with the lower middle class to lower class crowd – particularly with kids. Our local franchise is actually quite good. They make excellent custom pizzas when asked, all for the crazy-cheap price of $6.
Anyway, over the last couple of decades I have only heard maybe 2 people in real life say anything that made me say “wow, that was racist!”. My SJW is now number one with a bullet.
She started by complaining about how racist white people are….. and like an idiot, one of our party asked “how so?” Never ask an SJW to opine on such matters! Just nod and hope they shut up soon, amirite? So she regales us with tales of going out in public with her newly purchased
accessorychild. You see, all of the white people are looking at her. And she can tell that they are thinking “what black guy did she bang and get knocked up with that black baby?” This was a several minute rant. Now, that may not sound like a long time, but hearing about how the lady ahead of her at the checkout line was racist because she saw her and her African baby and then didn’t move out from in front of the credit card machine fast enough makes a few minutes seem like a really, really long time.Yeah, lady… you are now super-oppressed. Because the lady in front of you at the checkout line didn’t get out of your way fast enough. Definitely the most racist society evar!
Anyway, that was racist, but that’s not the racist part.
No… while explaining to me how white people are so incredibly racist (remember, my black ex wife and I lived together in the deep south for 15 years), she’s also complaining about the restaurant.
It is dirty. (it is pretty darned clean – and there are two people running around cleaning non-stop) But by dirty she means “those people” are dirty. Meaning lower middle class black people – of which there are a lot. And Latinos. Of which there are a lot. The place was packed, so the food was fresh and hot and the crew was working hard. It was a pretty fantastic cheap buffet dining experience in my book. But “those people are everywhere” and skeeving her out. Because they are crowding around the food.
I ended up going up to get food for her and her kid, because she said “I don’t think I can be nice right now”. One of “those people” was letting his ~6 month old sit in his lap and touch the table! What is wrong with these people? (these people being South American immigrants – maybe Argentina?- in this instance)
It was the most openly racist attitude from a white person I’ve been exposed to since I graduated high school in the early 80’s. And that includes an extensive history of going to country-western bars in Klan country with mixed race groups.
The stereotype about the SJW covering for their own racist attitudes through projection onto others is unequivocally true, at least in her case. She’s always been pretty suspect, but it seems clear that she views her new accessory as her “no racist” card, so she’s no unencumbered by social norms and free to speak her mind.
So there ya go…. every prejudiced opinion you had about SJW types confirmed. I did the time, so you didn’t have to!
I don’t think she can ever be nice.
UN salaries are non-taxed, so ask her to cover the tab next time. I’m just positive that she’s down to share the wealth.
It’s not surprising to me at all. The stereotype of the fire and brimstone anti-gay religious Christian who’s really just a closet case has become such a common trope that it’s a cultural punchline. I see no reason why a religious fanatic of another type wouldn’t have the same baggage.
PS: I used to eat at CiCi’s all the time when I was still playing competitive soccer; it’s no worse than Domino’s and super cheap.
In her mind she is a knight — noble, generous, and kind. She goes out of the way to help the unfortunate — which is everybody except her. Don’t be surprised if she trashes you to her other friends.
Good Lord. The question is why you put yourself through that. Other redeeming qualities?

He said it was “our friend”, so probably his wife/gf’s friend.
Still sounds like an awful time, though.,

We should be allowed to hang our kids on a hangar in a closet when they are 15, let them out when they are 18. I remember those days so vividly from 40 years ago. My heart goes out to you, SN, but one day you will a neighbor kid say to yours, “I wish my dad was like yours, your dad is so cool” Then you’ll know you are on the right track. And a few years later a Father’s Day card written in cursive, “To the World’s Best Dad”.
It’ll happen, ask anyone that got through those years without being charged with kidslaughter.

For Gustave Lytton and a few of our other Japanese language interested Glibs my gal MIsa another language video out. Big thumbs up!
She discusses the “causative passive” in Japanese which is a commonly used construction in Japanese with which I’ve always struggled. As soon as she mentioned that you construct the sentence from the 1st person perspective it clicked much better than the other times I’ve studied the form.
In English we’d simply say something like “My mother made me eat fish”. In this case mother is the subject. But in Japanese the construction would be “I was made to eat fish by my mother”. It’s not a common construction, One of the many reasons Japanese sentence construction is so different from English.

Mission accomplished. One $19.00 Canon printer later, I can light up the people who have been pissing me off.
For that price, I can just throw it away and buy another printer when it runs out of ink.

Rhywun & straffinrun – apparently, the final was on ABC, too. I caught the last hour or so. One hell of match.
I hardly ever print anything. My printers die from lack of use, not overwork. The one that just quit was an old (O-L-D) large format Epson. If I can get myself back into doing shirts, I’m going to have to find a way to do large format transparencies. A laser printer wouild be perfect for that, but very pricey.
Another thing which drives me bananas is you cannot get a printer which just prints. This stupid el cheapo Canon is a “full-feature” model. Print, copy, scan; I’m kind of surprised it isn’t a fax, too. Just what a guy who hasn’t had a land line since about 1998 needs.
I had to buy a printer recently just to sign a document and convert it back to PDF and email it.
Really, people?
That is honestly the only reason I own a printer.
I’ve done the Adobe signature in a document just to avoid that.
I used Docusign when signing the billions of forms to purchase my house, and used it at my last job for sending out monthly purchase orders to clients.

I know the answer always is “buy more guns” but what do people think about this deal specifically?
https://www.classicfirearms.com/czech-made-cz-70-pistol-32-acp-semi-auto/
Do you currently stock .32 acp ammo?
That’s the first question I ask myself before buying a new gun. Add a case of ammo (1,000) price to the cost and recalculate if it’s a good deal.
I do not, and that’s a good thing to think about.
Dude. It’s $190. You’ve spent more at dinner. And all you got from that was a decent bowel movement.
I love mine, and that’s a good deal (depending on transfer fees). The main problem with that pistol is that the double action pull is atrocious. Insanely heavy. A Makarov might be lighter. No joke I gave myself a huge blister on my index finger doing DA practice with it.
