Combine brothers coming to boardman ohio

Pizza Gate
A lot of arguing going on in this episode, let's get to it...
Before the show starts, we see after they leave the party last episode. Tre, Danielle and Jen A are with their husbands driving home from the party. Danielle says "The one person you don't want to have as an enemy, ME!! The "Me" sounded like a combination of a roaring lion and Al Pacino. It was something.
The next morning, we have breakfast at the Jen A with her guests. At the same time, we see Rachel and her guests eating breakfast together with her side. Of course, both sides are talking about the other side while having breakfast. Shocker! Later on, both groups will get together for lunch at Rachel's.
At Rachel's house one of the subjects is Danielle. They are very 'concerned' about why Danielle doesn't talk to her brother. Let me make this clear. The Marge doesn't speak to her kids and Jackie doesn't speak to a sister. Why do these busybodies care why she doesn't speak to her brother? Here's an idea, instead of focusing on Danielle, try fixing your own family, including you, Melissa. Damn! Now Melissa whines about her mom not being invited. The Marge asks her if she is happy Louie invited her mother to the wedding, Melissa wonders if it is a genuine invite, ffsakes get over yourself. Yes, Melissa. He meditated on it and deep down in his heart and soul he wants your mother there so bad. Is that good enough for you? Well Melissa your mother made several tweets that were not nice about Teresa years ago, so stop pretending there is a love fest here. It is not. Teresa forgave but why would she want someone who slammed her on social media at her wedding? Now let's get to Joey and pizza gate. Joey tells them Louie is nice but sometimes a dick. Producers ask if something happened between them. Joey tells them that yes something happened. There are two sides which we will get to.
Back at Jen's Teresa come clean with her friends and tells them that Louie lost 250k investing in a pizzeria for Joey called Nonno's that Joey wanted to do with Teresa. Joey put down zero percent. Louie's lawyer said to give Joey 5% and he flipped out, because it was his idea to call it Nonno's. Idea? Pay up or deal is done! Joey also said Teresa changed the name to Skinny Pizza. I doubt she changed the name, sounds fishy to me. Joey is annoyed. Louie is not. Joey lost no money. Louie lost 250k. Why is Joey mad about this? He lost nothing. Furthermore, a few seasons back, Joey opened a pizzeria, what happened to that restaurant? It just vanished? Of course, The Marge has to butt in to say this is so hurtful to Joey.
At Rachel's Lunch it starts off okay. Oh, Adult Jennifer arrives, she has a husband named Jeff. Word on the street is people in her town don't like her, which makes her a perfect fit for being The Marge's friend of the show.
Okay party is on. The Marge, Jackie, Dolores, Adult Jennifer and Melissa's are still talking about the mother not being invited. All of them. I can't. Stop with this storyline. She was invited, so what's the problem now? Teresa tells Joey all he had to do was come to her and ask her to invite his MIL and she would have, instead he and Melissa are whining to strangers (cast members) about this.
Now we have The Marge pull aside Danielle and scold her for spreading gossip about The Marge having an arsenal of information about the women. First of all, Danielle only discussed it with Rachel, but Rachel who was talking about it as well, being the snake that Rachel is, she ran back and told The Marge what BOTH Danielle and Rachel discussed, Rachel just conveniently left out the part that she participated in the discussion. Also, The Marge is the town's gossip that tells everyone's secrets. Hey, she is such a gossip she probably worked her way up to the Garden's State gossip by now. So why is she so mad? She knows she spreads secrets (Jen A and Bill) and tries to destroy relationships (Louie and Teresa). Rachel Joins The Marge and Danielle. Rachel twisted it to make it seem like it was Danielle gossiping about The Marge. Rachel is a pot stirrer and Danile is done with her. I knew these two wouldn't be friends. Oh, the irony -- The Marge tells Danielle to stop gossiping all over the place, coming from her, really?
Now we have Louie trying to make peace between Teresa, Melissa and Joey. Give it up Louie, they even brought in therapists to repair their family. It's not going to happen. First Louie grabs Melissa to talk. He brings up her mother's invite and how wonderful Melissa's mother has been to him and her boys.
Meanwhile close by at the party, Jackie's talking about Teresa's non invite with Jen A and Dolores. Teresa's fed up by now, she wants to know why everyone is talking about this. So do I. Jackie tells her Melissa is her best friend and is very upset about this. Gag!! Tre tells her if she is so upset let her call her sisters and discuss HER guest list. Get her Tre! I can't help it, these women are being so catty towards Teresa. It's a guest list, get over it. And Melissa's mother is no saint. She said horrible things online about Teresa. Danielle chimes in to say stop gossiping about my brother. She said I blocked him on Instagram, and he lost his mind and that was it. The ladies say maybe it is the SIL (which it probably is) but mind your own business. Why do they care so much? I don't care why. Danielle tells them she is done and leaves the party. The Marge calls her a drama queen. No, she just doesn't like gossipy women talking about a sensitive subject. Danielle tells us in her confessional she is heartbroken about her brother and these women are making it worse. Danelle, you shouldn't have told them!!
Back to Louie, while he is professing his love for Melissa and her family, Teresa tries to join in with the conversation. Louie tells her to respect their space and she is not making any sense what she is saying. All she said is that she wanted to know what is going on with the wedding invite, and everyone is talking about it. She also said there's history with the family. Yeah, that bothered me. He is not a therapist, and he has no right to scold Teresa kick her out of the conversation. This is her side of the family's problem. He can't control how it all goes down. If Teresa wanted to be there and say her peace, she should be allowed to. Teresa walks away. Joey joins and Louie welcomes him. This is so weird. Okay Louie is forgiven for now ... He does say he feels bad about the invite and all the hurt between Tre, Melis and Joey, but Teresa is hurt as well, and he is marrying her in 4 weeks and wants peace. Maybe his intent is good stop with your 'therapy' speeches with Teresa on camera.
Back at the gossip table with the women. Teresa tells them her brother Joey needs therapy. Jackie tells her that is not nice. What? Therapy is not nice? Teresa goes off on her and tells her to get out of her fucking face. I would too. Jackie needs to go. I am sick of her and her nasty digs. She brings nothing but negativity and starts in with people. Teresa tells her she is getting involved with family and needs to keep out of it.
Now back to Louie and Joey, Melissa walked away to let them talk. Louie tells Joey he wears Nonno's pajamas to make his nieces feel safe. Joey's face is priceless, like wtf did he just say? It is kind of weird, but whatever. Now Teresa joins in, and they have a therapy session about the wedding. Enough! Invite, don't invite, attend, don't attend. Melissa joins in and more wedding talk. Ugh!! It gets heated and Teresa walks away. She tells Louie to fix it, she is done. So is America. Get another storyline. This time Melissa and Joey leave the party. The Marge walks up and Teresa tells her to make Melissa understand that last year.... suddenly all talk stops! Louie gets up and tells Teresa he is going to leave because he can't take it anymore. I feel you. But he scolds her in front of the group, telling her she doesn't listen. Should she sit there and let him do all the talking? He is on the fence again with me. Too controlling, but she doesn't see it, so they might be a good fit. She is mellow now. I just feel he should say these things off camera. He continues to lecture Teresa while Joey comes back and starts screaming, Louie calms him down and Joey leaves. Either Louie is the Teresa and Joey makeup whisperer, or he's controlling. I can't figure him out.
So there you have it. Pizza Gate started the demise of Louie and Joey's relationship. Teresa's father and sister never talked over $200 give or take. So I think the family is following in their footsteps.

My mom unexpectedly died early morning on March 16th. My brother drove to my house and stood beside my bed and woke me up to tell me she was gone. Within seconds of coming to and realizing what was happening, I said to my brother and my fiancé that I had seen this happen just a couple nights prior. Two, maybe three nights prior to this happening I was falling asleep, and in a fleeting thought I imagined my brother standing at my bedside telling me something. Like I said, the thought was fleeting initially but I almost immediately made the connection once everything happened. So, I’m trying to make sense of this all. I’ve always had a very active imagination, but this is something I can’t shake it’s just.. odd. I honestly even wrote it off as an intrusive thought when I initially envisioned it, which perhaps that’s all it was however it just feels like a lot of weird things are happening since her passing. I had a somewhat similar experience after a loved one passed back in 2010 but that was different even.

Hey there,
I recentrly bought a automatic opel corsa from 2019 with 21.000km driven. When buying the car the garage told me the car had suffered small parking damage, which at first didnt bother me. Now after a short drive of roughly 20km i noticed that my steer and the car it self vibrate and shake at higher speeds. Furthermore when letting go of the wheel the car eitherpulls to the left or right slighly. These things in combination with smoke coming from the radiator area after the drive got me worried that the small parking damage might be more then just small. What would you guys advice i do? The garage tells me they just simple have to realign the car and the shaking is fixed. And they would also repair the radiator. Is this true or is the risk of more severe damage present?

March 18, 2033
Markus Salvator von Habsburg from the Grand Principality of Kranjska-Istria-Bilogorje has been chosen and elected by the Regency Council to serve as the Kingdom of Lotharingia's monarch. He has chosen the name Lotaro/Lothaire/LothaLotharius III in honor of the two previous medieval kings of the name of Lotharingia.
The election of a nobleman from a CEEC country comes as a controversy to many Germans of Lotharingia, especially those who supported the election of Prince Kurt Wilhelm von Preussen or Prince Friedrich August von Wettin. However, many of the Regency Council believed that Markus Salvator was the superior choice. Owing to his seniority, German-speaking origin, and his Catholic faith, it is believed that the presence of various Frenchmen in the Regency Council posited him as a compromise candidate.
Despite pressure from some of his supporters, claimant to the title of King of France, Louis d’Orléans, refused to accept candidacy for King of Lotharingia. The Count of Paris refused to partake despite pressure from his brother Charles, and his denunciation of the new monarch quickly led to the Royalists for an Illustrious Order being dissolved by Charles d'Orléans, who promptly resigned from the cabinet.
Jérôme Napoléon Bonaparte, son of the late Léopold Napoléon Bonaparte, arrived from his self-imposed exile in Bavaria on March 20, requesting Lotharingian citizenship which was then granted. He swore his loyalty to King Lothaire III and pledged to serve the Kingdom of Lotharingia and that he does not wish to restore the French Empire or the French Federation.
With his role now fulfilled, Friedrich Ziegler is no longer regent and will continue serve as both President of the Christian Socialist Party of Lotharingia and as Speaker of the Superior Council of Lotharingia.

I'm so fucking tired. Every time I wanna have someone over I can't because if they come over and my fat fuck for an older brother walks out shirtless they'll see him and laugh. He's so ficking fat that his tits are bigger than mine, he hasn't gotten a haircut in years, he doesn't shave, he only eats fast food from uber eats. He's fucking disgusting and I'm ashamed. Then there's my sister. My filthy fucking grub of a sister. All I wanted this year was to have 1 friend over for my birthday. That was all I fucking wanted. We never do anything for my birthday. We just sit at home, go out to get McDonald's and then eat a cheap cake from woollies. All I wanted this year was to have my friend come over and join in because then it wouldn't be so fucking boring and miserable but no I can't because my sister being the filthy fuck she is can't keep her fat, grubby, stubby, nubby sausage looking fingers out of her nasty ass overgrown nostrils and now we have to disinfect the house because she has a staaf infection. We never do anything for my birthday and I finally got the all clear to finally have someone to spend it with and I can't because my sisters a nasty cunt. I'm so tired of it. Every year I'm told we can do something for my birthday and then nothing happens because something always happens with my sister. We always have to stop anything I wanna do to accommodate her. She's not even younger than me either. She's a senior in highschool and she still picks her nose. She's fucking disgusting and I'm so done with it. All I want is to do something for my birthday like we always do for them but noooo my sisters a nasty fucking grub and now we can't do anything. I just wanted to have a friend over. That was all I asked for. Just to hang out with my friend for one fucking day. I can't do that now because my sisters a walking plastic bag of horse piss. I can't do anything AGAIN because she's fucking filthy. It's not just on my birthday either. I can't have my friends over on the weekends, the holidays, anything and it's either because my sister invited her whole friend group and my parents don't wanna watch an extra kid or because of shit like this. It's fucking annoying and I'm the one that gets yelled at for it.

My mom died when I was 2, so I have no recollection of her. I was left in the care of my grandmother and my mom's brother. They were both heavily addicted to drugs and hoarders. The house was almost uninhabitable, with endless junk and at least 20 cats contributing to the filth. For as far back as I can remember, I was severely abused and neglected. Four times, child protective services were involved, but they closed the case each time. I was 14 when I attempted to take my life and left there for good after telling someone.
I am now 22 and it's a constant battle with the trauma. I've begun to really struggle with the pain of never having that parental love and affection. I was given small details and stories about my birth mother throughout my childhood. I was only 10 when my mom was murdered, and my grandmother refused to talk further about her and withheld any pictures or personal items. I was finally given a picture of her during a supervised visit shortly after my attempt. The only other things I've been able to find are a vague obituary and 2 high school yearbook photos.
I look at her photo often and am deeply confused by my feelings. My mother, this stranger that carried me and gave birth to me, My name, listed as her daughter on the obituary, is the only evidence of she and I together. There are no pictures or videos of her holding me or looking at me affectionately. I can't remember a single detail like her voice, her smell, or her touch. I often find myself picturing these things and wondering how she felt about me.
It leaves me confused and hurts more than anything to miss her. There's nothing to miss about her, so it must be that I miss the idea of her. I wonder what could've been had she been there. I imagine a clean home where there was love and kind words. I imagine being comforted and admired by her. I imagine hugging her and how it would feel to be held by my mother. but I also know that it could've been completely different than I imagine.
I long for her almost every day. When I'm sick, I want her comfort. When I do good things, I want to show her. When the holidays come around, I want to be with her. When i'm struggling mentally, I want to call her.....all of these things that can't be replicated. I get so jealous seeing how close my best friend and her mom are. She's 23 and tells her mom everything, calls her at the grocery store to ask what spaghetti sauce to get, orders for her at restaurants....... And people say, "Well, one day you'll have your own family and be a mother." ... and i'll be there, and i'll love my children, but deep down, I'm still just a child who wants her mom too.
It's so hard to cope with this because there is no solution. I'm stuck with nothing but what-ifs and a longing that’ll never be satisfied.

Hi everyone- long time lurker for this sub. Just wondering what people think of homeschooling- do you think if its done by an experienced teacher then it can be a positive experience? My issue is: I have worked at a few schools in Western Sydney- really rough schools that reminded me of juvenile prisons. When I started working at my current school, it was SUCH a nice surprise. Kids are a lot friendlier, teachers are more organised and parents are more engaged. This being said, I still find that behaviour management issues are a really sore point of the job (as I'm sure most i you would agree with). I feel like a police woman a lot of the time, even though I do model mutual respect, listen to the kids when they have genuine concerns, etc. I don't like the authoritarian attitude that teachers inevitably have- I think its both their own attitude towards the kids and a way to appease management. For example, if I don't hand out detentions when warranted, I get told i should be doing so. When I allow kids to use the bathroom during class, I get told I should allow them to (and I hate that rule, because its hard to tell if they really need to go or if its an excuse- I don't want to make that call)
​
It's a public high school, so we have some really bad students that we simply cannot get rid of. They ruin a lot of classes and their parents are horrible- our hands are tied, and we waste valuable time having meetings about how to carry out specific behaviour management plans for them.
​
Anyway, from what I can see- a lot of kids simply don't want to be there, the kids are put into classes that are too large in my opinion (about 25 kids to 1 teacher), and the bad kids behave in a way that means my time is wasted on them and the 'good' kids who try to learn are sitting there bored, waiting for me to continue to do what i am suppose to do- TEACH.
I think I've lost faith in the public schooling system, because of the negative climate of many highschools. The kids are given opportunity to socialise, but i have found that a lot of the social interactions are really negative, and even the kids who ARE friends don't get time to socialise in class. Recess and lunch combined is a whole hour- this is the only form of social time they are allowed. Classes are only successful if there are no bad kids in the class, because we can't do fun lessons, because they always ruin it. Then, everybody suffers and its always theory lessons (I'm in science BTW)
How come people cop so much flack for homeschooling, in light of all these issues in schools? There are so many fights, endless mental health issues and i frequently hear teachers screaming at kids. I don't even scream at my own children, because I'm trying to teach them that verbal intimidation isn't a method to control other people. I just don't think i want this for my kids anymore. But I know that the second i tell family or friends that I want to home school, they will think I'm CRAZY. I'm not going to lie, I use to think homeschooling families were weird and antisocial. I've just seen so many negatives of the high school system (including my own high school experience). Life is short- I don't want my kids subjected to 6 years of this environment full time, where 2 hours of homework (at least) is piled on top of a 6 hour day of mostly SITTING DOWN. There are no class nature walks, barley any practicals that I'm allowed to do (they are organised during programming day). I know there are alternative schools, but we can't afford to send our kids there.
​
Are there any other teachers who have seen what high school is really like and are put off sending their kids there now?

Educational_info:
I'm a dropper in Kota. I got 99.1XX percentile in January attempt. We had completed only 75% syllabus till then unfortunately, so couldn't do my best. I've been struggling with my mental health since last 2 years as far as I can recall. I was suicidal in 2021 the whole time but atleast the suicidal tendencies have gone. I used to have panic attacks as well but now I rarely do. So that's good. But There's no sign of joy or pleasure of doing anything in my life. All this negativity just surrounds me constantly.
I have no friends, I don't talk to people. I thought it was the best to focus on studies only this year. It probably was the correct thing to do.
Anxiety has always been an issue for me. Anxiety and perfectionism, they r a bad combination. I've been trying to remove this perfectionist attitude but it just doesn't go away. it just makes me feel worthless when I can't have a perfect day of 12-13 hours of studying. I've been trying to give my best but I just haven't been able to achieve that. It feels like I lose every single day. I'm currently scoring about 200-220 in jee mains mocks and mostly focusing on advanced. I should feel confident about myself and my future atleast. But everything seems dark and gloomy.
I don't know what branch I should enter into. I see everybody going into CS but I don't know if I'm interested in it. I wish to go to Guwahati, closer to nature and that climate. I'm trying to land Guwahati MNC(I've been pretty interested in mathematics and physics as well, this one has maths, and finance as well, I think it might be good), idk if I'll make it or not. I heard about EE/ECE as well but I'm not sure if it has much scope in India or not. I want to make a rational decision both on basis of interest and scope, don't want to make a one way decision for future regrets. Thoughts like what if I can't do it, what if I'm already out of that race for that rank, what ifs are just surrounding me all the time. I want to give my best but rn all I've been doing is nearly 9 hours on average maybe. I look at advanced and I am generally able to solve nearly 60-65% questions on average. But this anxiety and negativity, sorry maybe I've said the same thing over and over, I don't know.
I really wish I could make myself come out of this state. Sometimes I feel like happiness is just way more important that all of this. It really is. I don't remember the last time I was genuinely happy and content with my life. Maybe I'm just overreacting to things. How did u all manage your mental health during this time?
Please give me some suggestions.

My brother and sister were v*ing yesterday (Monday). My mom and dad are not sick (yet). I only saw my siblings each once on Sunday, but it was only a brief encounter with no touching. I have not seen them since before they got sick (except for today when I was out of my room to get paper towels, I saw my sister but I ran away).
I have been washing my hands when I can, but I have only left my room into the house 6 times in the past 2 days. I pee outside, wear an N-95 mask and wash my hands 3x when I have to go poo, I have food and water in my room, and I have a door to outside from my room that I leave the house from my personal car to feed my horse.
I was with my dogs yesterday (Monday) and I worry they could have had the virus on them, and then maybe I touched my lips then licked them. I do not touch my food. I do not put my hands in my mouth. I have been using Lysol wipes but they aren't bleach so I feel extremely contaminated. Tomorrow I am going to buy bleach and bleach everything in my room. I have not consumed any food that they would have touched or been near. The vent in my room is connected to my sister's on the other side of the house. I know because I smell her candles when she lights them. I closed it as much as I could, but air still comes through.
I only spoke to my mom once on Monday from a distance. Nobody is allowed in my room. No dogs, only my cat who isn't allowed in the house, and no people. They are not allowed to even open my door.
My plan is to quarantine like this for 2 weeks. I may try to see my dogs because they will be lonely and I miss them so much, but I am so scared. How likely is it for me to get sick? What else can I do?

Day after day, week after week, I wish I could rid myself of this cursed addiction. I go to bed with such strong willpower knowing full well how many times I’ve slipped up and fell back on the wagon of self pleasure so many times before. It’s so easy to say “oh I’ll stop jerking off tomorrow and then by a few weeks I’ll be clean” then come a day or so later and your body/mind is literally in pain and thirsting for release.
Is it only self discipline? Is that just the magic answer, the end all goal of the male struggle against self pleasure. Help a brother out. How do you rewrite your brains computer code to stop requiring masturbation to survive

God is a morally perfect entity. His love/mercy and his justice cannot be compromised. If people weren’t held responsible for wrongdoings, he wouldn’t be a morally perfect entity. As such, God must respond to sin. And this dovetails with my further point, which is that all people are imperfect, or miss the mark sort of speak. A person may question and ask: why can't God create heaven to begin with? But it’s possible that no matter what world God creates with free creatures, we would go wrong anyway. Keep in mind that it's logically impossible for God to make someone freely do good, and omnipotence is traditionally defined as being able to do anything logically possible. Spiritual forces (e.g., the fall of Satan) only propounds the issue. This all means that heaven could only be at the final stage of history.
Support for this argument comes from the logical impossibility for God to create an impeccable free will (a libertarian free will with the impossibility of sinning). Since God contains such a will, God would be creating another God in that case. And due to the logical impossibility of creating the uncreated, He could have not created such a will. This could support the idea that God couldn't have created anybody whom He foreknew would always freely do the good. It's possible that any person with libertarian free will would eventually go wrong.
One could come back and say that someone who is always placed in circumstances that God foreknew would lead to good (free) choices is possible. But there would be absolutely no soul-building on this view. Timothy Pawl points out an illustration in his 2009 paper "Incompatibilism, Sin, and Free Will in Heaven," "suppose that Smith is prone to adultery. But Smith’s wife knows this about him. Suppose she knows the precise circumstances he would have to be in to commit adultery, or even freely will to commit adultery. Now suppose she is very good at keeping him out of these circumstances such that he is never again in adultery-prone circumstances. Extend the example a bit more and suppose that she knows what circumstances he would have to be in to perform any other sins as well. ... No matter where he finds himself, provided that his wife is watching over him, he won’t sin." This seems absurd in the extreme. Further, is one really free on this view? One certainly wouldn't have any morally significant free will. As Alvin Plantinga defines it; a person has significant free will only if that individual is “free with respect to an action that is morally significant for him,” where an action is morally significant for a person at a given time “if it would be wrong for him to perform the action then but right to refrain, or vice versa" - Plantinga, The Nature of Necessity, p. 166. Significant free will is thus a robust, non-trivial freedom of the will. If God were to create beings who could choose freely only once, and then only between two morally neutral options, it would be true to say that such creatures have free will, but it would be false to say that they have significant free will. But we would lack this if God always simply placed people in certain situations that he foreknows would lead to good decisions.
Since all morally responsible humans miss the mark and have done wrong things, none of us deserve heaven. In fact, many people curiously ask the question: “how could an all loving all powerful God send anyone to eternal hell”? But a better question could be: “how could an all just God send anyone to heaven”? This is especially since Gods justice cannot be compromised by his other characteristics. Thus, He can’t just forgive wrongdoings, which we all do. So what is God to do in this dilemma? He cannot make anyone freely choose to believe in Him. That is logically impossible, and theologians have always affirmed that God is omnipotent in the sense of being able to do anything logically possible. In my view, the only way to reconcile this philosophically is for God himself to become a human and to bear the justice that his own nature enacts wrongdoing being punished with. In other words, God cannot simply forego imposing the requisite penalty or extracting the debt owed. Instead, because of the relevant divine attributes, God must endure the payment of the debt or impose the just punishment for human sin in order to be able to forgive human beings and accept reconciliation with them. The whole reason why Christians say that Jesus is the only way. If one doesn’t accept the offer of mercy only made possible by God becoming a man to take on the punishment that His own nature demands their sins punished with, they fall back on Gods justice. As such, God's doesn't send anyone to hell, people send themselves.
And this is what all makes Isaiah 52:13-53:12 so beautiful. It's not a righteous third party that dies for our sins. It's God Himself who became a man who died for our sins to take the just wrath that we all deserve, so we can all go free. And this text was written over 500 years before Jesus!

Just as there were many who were astonished at you—so marred was his appearance, beyond human semblance, and his form beyond that of mortals—so he shall sprinkle many nations; kings shall shut their mouths because of him; for that which had not been told them they shall see, and that which they had not heard they shall contemplate. ^\Israel Speaks:]) Who has believed what we have heard? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed? For he grew up before him like a tender shoot, and like a root out of dry ground; he had no form or majesty that we should look at him, nothing in his appearance that we should desire him. He was despised and rejected by others; a man of pains and acquainted with sorrows; and like the hiding of the face for him, he was despised, and we held him of no account. Surely he has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; yet we accounted him stricken, struck down by God, and afflicted. But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the punishment that made us whole, and by his bruises we are healed. We all like sheep have gone astray; we have all turned to our own ways, but the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all. He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he did not open his mouth; like a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and like a sheep that before its shearers is silent, so he did not open his mouth. By a perversion of justice he was taken away. Yet who of his generation even considered that he was cut off from the land of the living, stricken for the transgression of my people to whom the blow belonged? They made his grave with the wicked and with a rich man in his death, although he had done no violence, and there was no deceit in his mouth. Yet it was the will of the Lord to crush him with weakness. When you make his life a guilt offering, he shall see offspring, and shall prolong days; and through him the will of the Lord shall prosper. Out of his anguish he shall see light; he shall find satisfaction through his knowledge. ^\God Speaks:]) The righteous one, my servant, shall make many to be considered righteous, and he shall bear their sins. Therefore I will allot him a portion with the many, and he shall divide the spoil with the multitudes; because he poured out his life to death, and was numbered with the transgressors; yet he bore the sin of the many, and will intervene for the transgressors.

^{1 There is huge debate and controversy over the identity of the Servant in Isaiah. On the one hand, Isaiah says Israel is the Servant outside of the Servant songs. On the other hand, the Servant reads like an individual in the Servant songs. There is a quite simple resolution to this. While the Servant is identified as Jacob-Israel outside of the songs, the nation of Israel is revealed within the dynamic movement of the four Servant songs as being embodied in a suffering individual figure. So, the Servant never stops being "Israel," but "Jacob-Israel" undergoes a reduction down to one within these songs. This is not my invention but is rather a prominent scholarly opinion. For example, Ricki Watts writes in his 1990 article: "In cognizance of the individual traits . . . it would appear that true Israel has been reduced to one (cf. 53:6 and ch. 48" - Rikki Watts 1990: p. 55. Paul R. Raabe writes: "the reader should understand the “Servant of Yahweh” who is to restore collective Israel and atone for collective Israel as Israel-reduced-to-one, God’s Israel-in-one" - Paul Raabe 2018: 331. The Servant within the Servant Songs can't be Jacob-Israel as a collective, because there are numerous points of contrast between the Servant and Israel as a nation. For example, in Isa. 49:5-6 the Servant has a mission to the nation as a group. This means that the nation as Servant is understood to shrink in size. But is this shrinking in size down to one person, or a righteous remnant? Isaiah 49:6 qualifies Israel as the remnant, so the reduction of the Servant seems to be down to one person. One also can't so easily compare the individual language applied to Israel outside of the songs with the Servant in the songs, since Israel as Servant is intentionally shrunk down in size so as to be distinct from Israel as a nation, as indicated by Isa. 49:5-6, along with the heightening of the individualistic language in each successive song. This combination of shrinking and heightening seems to signify an intentional reduction of what the prophet considered true Israel down to one. Further, the switch from the "Servant" in Isaiah 40-53 to the collective "servants" of the Servant motif in Isaiah 54-66 (see the "servants"/"offspring" section below through the Servant's offspring implies that the Servant Songs have, in the context of the book as a whole, both a (primary individual sense, referring to the Servant, and a (secondary collective sense, referring to the faithful remnant, cf. Isaiah 50:10-11, the servants of the Servant. Lastly, the people of Israel and its remnant in the context of Isaiah are transgressors, e.g., Isa. 46:1-12; 48:1-11, while the Servant is faithful and righteous, Isa. 53:9, 11. Many other points could be raised. Isaiah 49:3 does not preclude this, unless one begs the question against the "Israel-reduced-to-one" view. Plus, in Isa. 49:3, the name of Israel is probably a predicate: "you are Israel"} - ^{Jaap Dekker 2012: 38-39. As a result of arguments like these, Joseph Blenkinsopp writes in his Yale commentary on Isaiah 40-55:
"Ever since Christopher R. North surveyed the range of opinion on the identity of the Servant in 1948 (2d ed., 1956, no significant new options have emerged. While there was then and still is a strong critical preference for an individual rather than a collective interpretation, none of the fifteen individuals named as candidates by one commentator or another and listed by North has survived scrutiny" (Joseph Blenkinsopp, Isaiah 40-55 \}AYBC; Yale University Press, 2002]: 355.)
^{So, is the Servant an individual or Israel? Both!}

Within the dramatic movement of the Servant Songs, the Servant emerges as an individual, and as a representative individual. This individual is representative because he is mysteriously identified and united with Israel and the world, acting for Israel and the world in their stead, doing what they could not do for themselves, and that in the culminating fourth Song this representative individual suffers, is rejected by his own people, is unjustly executed, is put to death for the sins of the many, buried, and then raised to life and glorified, all this that he might redeem the remnant of Israel and bring the gentiles to God. This is Jesus!

God is a morally perfect entity. His love/mercy and his justice cannot be compromised. If people weren’t held responsible for wrongdoings, he wouldn’t be a morally perfect entity. As such, God must respond to sin. And this dovetails with my further point, which is that all people are imperfect, or miss the mark sort of speak. A person may question and ask: why can't God create heaven to begin with? But it’s possible that no matter what world God creates with free creatures, we would go wrong anyway. Keep in mind that it's logically impossible for God to make someone freely do good, and omnipotence is traditionally defined as being able to do anything logically possible. Spiritual forces (e.g., the fall of Satan) only propounds the issue. This all means that heaven could only be at the final stage of history.
Support for this argument comes from the logical impossibility for God to create an impeccable free will (a libertarian free will with the impossibility of sinning). Since God contains such a will, God would be creating another God in that case. And due to the logical impossibility of creating the uncreated, He could have not created such a will. This could support the idea that God couldn't have created anybody whom He foreknew would always freely do the good. It's possible that any person with libertarian free will would eventually go wrong.
One could come back and say that someone who is always placed in circumstances that God foreknew would lead to good (free) choices is possible. But there would be absolutely no soul-building on this view. Timothy Pawl points out an illustration in his 2009 paper "Incompatibilism, Sin, and Free Will in Heaven," "suppose that Smith is prone to adultery. But Smith’s wife knows this about him. Suppose she knows the precise circumstances he would have to be in to commit adultery, or even freely will to commit adultery. Now suppose she is very good at keeping him out of these circumstances such that he is never again in adultery-prone circumstances. Extend the example a bit more and suppose that she knows what circumstances he would have to be in to perform any other sins as well. ... No matter where he finds himself, provided that his wife is watching over him, he won’t sin." This seems absurd in the extreme. Further, is one really free on this view? One certainly wouldn't have any morally significant free will. As Alvin Plantinga defines it; a person has significant free will only if that individual is “free with respect to an action that is morally significant for him,” where an action is morally significant for a person at a given time “if it would be wrong for him to perform the action then but right to refrain, or vice versa" - Plantinga, The Nature of Necessity, p. 166. Significant free will is thus a robust, non-trivial freedom of the will. If God were to create beings who could choose freely only once, and then only between two morally neutral options, it would be true to say that such creatures have free will, but it would be false to say that they have significant free will. But we would lack this if God always simply placed people in certain situations that he foreknows would lead to good decisions.
Since all morally responsible humans miss the mark and have done wrong things, none of us deserve heaven. In fact, many people curiously ask the question: “how could an all loving all powerful God send anyone to eternal hell”? But a better question could be: “how could an all just God send anyone to heaven”? This is especially since Gods justice cannot be compromised by his other characteristics. Thus, He can’t just forgive wrongdoings, which we all do. So what is God to do in this dilemma? He cannot make anyone freely choose to believe in Him. That is logically impossible, and theologians have always affirmed that God is omnipotent in the sense of being able to do anything logically possible. In my view, the only way to reconcile this philosophically is for God himself to become a human and to bear the justice that his own nature enacts wrongdoing being punished with. In other words, God cannot simply forego imposing the requisite penalty or extracting the debt owed. Instead, because of the relevant divine attributes, God must endure the payment of the debt or impose the just punishment for human sin in order to be able to forgive human beings and accept reconciliation with them. The whole reason why Christians say that Jesus is the only way. If one doesn’t accept the offer of mercy only made possible by God becoming a man to take on the punishment that His own nature demands their sins punished with, they fall back on Gods justice. As such, God's doesn't send anyone to hell, people send themselves.
And this is what all makes Isaiah 52:13-53:12 so beautiful. It's not a righteous third party that dies for our sins. It's God Himself who became a man who died for our sins to take the just wrath that we all deserve, so we can all go free. And this text was written over 500 years before Jesus!

The 30-06 Springfield is known for incredible accuracy at long distances. Despite being created over 100 years ago, it remains a favorite of many shooters.
Its ability to hunt big game animals and sustain a fun day at the range keeps it in the running for one of the best rounds of all time.
Using the best 30-06 ammo for accuracy will allow you to shoot more accurately, which means more deer in the freezer and tighter groups at the range.
So if that sounds like what you’re looking for, grab a box of Barnes 150gr TTSX.
If this doesn’t work for you, don’t worry; we cover many other brands and bullet weights below, so you can choose the one that perfectly fits your situation.

3. Hornady Vintage Match 168gr ELD Match - Best 30-06 Ammo for Target Practice

Most Accurate 30-06 Ammo Overall

Barnes 30-06 150gr TTSX

Specs

• Casing: Brass
• Bullet Type: TTSX
• Bullet Weight: 150 grains
• Muzzle Velocity: 2,970 fps
• Muzzle Energy: 2,939 ft-lbs

Pros

• Incredibly accurate

• Trusted brand

Cons

• Expensive

Why We Chose It

The Barnes 30-06 SPRG 150gr TTSX is the best 30-06 ammo for accuracy because of the bullet launched from the case.
The bullet is accurate for two reasons. The first is that it’s a boat tail bullet. Boat tail bullets are shaped in such a way that it increases the ballistic coefficient because it reduces drag.
The second reason is that it’s a polymer-tipped bullet, which also helps reduce drag.
The 150-grain bullet is lighter, but it is one of the fastest on the market and still packs more of a punch than other heavier bullets at slower speeds.
Barnes is a trusted brand amongst shooters. They manufacture high-quality ammunition for many calibers.
Many other ammo brands choose to use Barnes bullets in their rounds because of the accuracy they provide.
The biggest downside is the price. Barnes tends to be more expensive due to all the benefits the shooter receives from their ammunition.
If you miss when feeding your Ruger 30-06 rifle with Barnes 150gr TTSX, it’s doubtful it was the ammo’s fault… So grab a box or ten today to give yourself the best chance of being accurate with your 30-06.

Honorable Mentions

Federal Premium is a brand that uses Barnes bullets in some of their 30-06 ammunition. Federal 30-06 165 Grain TSX uses slightly heavier bullets with similar terminal ballistics.
While it’s a little slower and doesn’t hit with as many foot-pounds, it’s much less expensive than the Barnes 150gr TTSX.
If a 165gr bullet doesn’t satisfy your needs, then step up to the Barnes 30-06 180 Grain TTSX. This ammo has all the benefits of the 150gr version, except it’s a little slow due to the added bullet weight.

Best Hunting Ammo for 30-06

Remington 30-06 150gr Scirocco Bonded

Specs

• Casing: Brass
• Bullet Type: Scirroco Bonded
• Bullet Weight: 150 grains
• Muzzle Velocity: 2,910 fps
• Muzzle Energy: 2,821 ft-lbs

Pros

• Established ammunition brand
• Fast & hard-hitting
• Premium hunting bullets
• Designed for hunting

Cons

• Expensive
• Only a 150gr bullet

Why We Chose It

Remington is one of the most well-known firearms and ammunition companies. When you pull the trigger, you can expect it to go bang when shooting Remington ammo.
This bullet is lightweight, which means it’s fast. Not quite as fast as the Barnes 150gr, but it’s so minimal you won’t be able to tell.
Even though it’s only a 150-grain bullet, it still packs a punch, which makes it excellent hunting ammo for many different large game species, including whitetail deer, pronghorn, mule deer, elk, and wild hogs.
The premium Scirocco bullet was designed for hunting and long-range accuracy. So your hunting will benefit from using one of the most technologically advanced bullets on the market, thanks to its increased weight retention even at high velocities.
However, you’ll pay a higher price for the advanced hunting bullets, but it’s still less expensive than the Barnes 150gr TTSX. Since it’s only 150 grains, it won’t be effective at ethically harvesting larger game animals like buffalo, moose, and grizzly bears.
Rem 150gr Scirocco Bonded ammo is some of the best hunting ammo for 30-06 you can find for your Savage hunting rifle.

Honorable Mentions

A less expensive Remington option is Remington Core-Lokt Tipped 30-06 150 Grain Polymer Tip.
You still get top-notch accuracy and terminal performance from these polymer-tipped bullets, capable of taking most game animals in North America.
Winchester 30-06 180 Grain PP is the best 30-06 ammo for hogs because it’s a much heavier bullet, and the Power Point bullet rapidly expands, causing more damage than other bullets.
I primarily use Winchester PP ammo in my .270 Win for deer hunting and have lost a deer after shooting it. I’ve also dropped a hog dead in its tracks with Winchester PP ammo, so I know it works.
The downside is that it lacks accuracy at longer ranges because the bullet is less aerodynamic than polymer-tipped bullets.

Best 30-06 Ammo for Target Shooting

Hornady Vintage Match 168gr ELD Match

Specs

• Casing: Brass
• Bullet Type: ELD Polymer-Tipped
• Bullet Weight: 168 grains
• Muzzle Velocity: 2,710 fps
• Muzzle Energy: 2,739 ft-lbs

Pros

• Trusted brand
• Quality bullets
• Designed for the M1 Garand

Cons

• Middle of the road velocity and energy
• Expensive

Why We Chose It

Hornady is one of the best ammunition manufacturers on the market. Whether you’re looking for a hunting cartridge or match-grade ammunition, this factory ammo will deliver time and time again.
Serious competition shooters nationwide use the ELD Match bullets because of their incredible accuracy and consistency.
The Hornady Vintage Match 168gr ELD Match was designed for the M1 Garand rifle. So if you enjoy shooting the ol’ reliable rifle, this is the ammo you need.
Because Hornady only uses quality materials, you can trust that this rifle cartridge will fire and eject smoothly, so you can keep shooting without worrying about malfunctions.
The biggest downside is the price; since Hornady uses premium materials, their ammo comes at a premium price. However, it’s still less than many of the others listed above.
The muzzle velocity and energy leave a little to be desired, especially compared to some high-end hunting rounds.
Despite some cons, Hornady Vintage 168gr ELD Match is still the best 30-06 ammo for long-range shooting.

Honorable Mentions

If you want to stock up fast and reasonably inexpensively, then Military Surplus 30-06 150 Grain FMJ is the way to go.
It’s consistent, accurate, and reasonably priced compared to other ammo. Part of the reason is that it comes in bulk, which is perfect for an extended stay at the gun range.
While a JHP bullet isn’t the most accurate, it’s often one of the least expensive. So if you want to shoot more often, pick up a few boxes of Fiocchi 30-06 180 Grain JHP. It’s not the least expensive, but it’s still cheaper than shooting premium ammo.
Fiocchi is a trusted brand because they consistently produce quality target ammo.
For the least costly 30-06 ammo, try Prvi Partizan 30-06 150 Grain SP.
I’m not a fan of soft point (SP) bullets because they tend to cause malfunctions in bolt action rifles as easily as they do in semi-automatic rifles, but your wallet will be happier with each trigger pull when shooting these factory loads.

Federal 30-06 168gr HPBT

Specs

• Casing: Brass
• Bullet Type: Sierra MatchKing BTHP
• Bullet Weight: 168 grains
• Muzzle Velocity: 2,700 fps
• Muzzle Energy: 2,719 ft-lbs

Pros

• Trusted brand
• High-quality projectiles
• Solid ballistic coefficient

Cons

• Middle-of-the-road ballistics
• Expensive

Why We Chose It

Federal Premium is another ammunition brand many shooters across North America trust because of its dedication to consistently producing quality ammo.
Because Federal Premium chose to use Sierra Gold Medal Match bullets, you know they will be accurate.
This hollow-point boat tail bullet has an excellent ballistic coefficient which means you can achieve sub-MOA results.
The cons of this ammo are sporting lower-than-average ballistics and the cost. This round isn’t going to blow away other rounds, but it also won’t thump your shoulder as hard, either.
While it’s not the most expensive 30-06 ammo we’ve reviewed, it will still make your wallet much lighter with each pull of the trigger.
For me, the cons don’t outweigh the pros for serious 30-06 target shooters, so I believe picking up several boxes before your next shooting competition is well worth it.
However, if you don’t need premium ammo, we have quality ammo reasonably priced at Ammo.com.

Honorable Mentions

When you plan to go big game hunting, try Federal 30-06 165 Grain Fusion or Federal Fusion 180 Grain.
The fusion bullet was built for deer hunting, offering hunters excellent expansion and weight retention on impact, which means more deer in your freezer.
If you’re hunting elk, I recommend stepping up to the 180gr bullet despite being a little slower.

Buyer’s Guide: What to Look for In Accurate 30-06 Ammo

When you’re new to buying ammo, it can be confusing and frustrating trying to figure out which is best.
I remember staring at the ammo shelves at the gun store and not knowing what I needed or even what questions to ask, so I chose the correct ammo.
Thankfully, I had some guidance from my dad and grandpa that I’ll happily pass along to you.

Bullet Types

The bullet type dramatically affects the price and function of the ammo.
Various types of bullets are used for target shooting and hunting.
So what are some common 30-06 bullet types, and what are they used for?
I’m glad you asked!
Below you’ll find several types of bullets for hunting and target shooting.

SP

Soft point bullets are the cheapest option for 30-06 shooters. They can be used for target shooting or hunting.
They’re the least expensive bullet because they’re less technologically advanced than other bullets.
They’re prone to causing malfunctions when the bullet’s tip catches instead of sliding into the chamber.
The Nosler Partition bullet is the exception to this rule, though it’s technically not a soft point bullet.

FMJ

A Full Metal Jacket bullet makes for an excellent target or hog-hunting round.
It’s a great target round because they’re usually pretty cheap bullets. Many hog hunters prefer an FMJ because it penetrates hogs’ thick hide and dense bones to the vitals much better than an SP or JHP bullet.

JHP

A Jacketed Hollow Point is designed for hunting applications but can be used for target shooting.
They’re more expensive than SP and FMJ bullets because they require more effort to make.
A JHP expands better than an FMJ, but it doesn’t penetrate as well, so you have to decide which one is most important to you.

HPBT

A Hollow Point Boat Tail is one of the best bullets on the market. HPBT bullets tend to have a high ballistic coefficient, which means they’re very accurate.
They’re great for hunting and target shooting, but they tend to cost much more than a JHP or FMJ.

Polymer-Tipped

A polymer-tipped bullet is an HP or HPBT with a plastic tip that aids in reducing drag and bullet expansion upon impact.
These are the most technologically advanced bullets on the market. The Nosler Accubond and Hornady SST are polymer-tipped bullets.

Bullet Weights

The most commonly used 30-06 bullet weights are 150gr, 165gr, and 180gr. The most powerful 30-06 ammo utilizes a 220gr or larger bullet, while lighter 30-06 bullets weigh as little as 110gr or 125gr.
Here’s a quick reference to the most common 30-06 bullet weights.

• 125gr
• 150gr
• 165gr
• 168gr
• 180gr
• 220gr

How to Save Money When Buying 30-06 Ammo

We all have experienced the shock of ammo price increases, and many of us can’t afford to visit the range as often as we used to because of it.
However, there is hope when buying 30-06 ammo. You can use a few tactics to save money on ammo to continue to enjoy the greatest pastime in American History.

Buying in Bulk

While spending more money on ammo might seem contradictory, when you break it down to the cost per round, buying bulk ammo is much cheaper than non-bulk ammo.
Manufacturers and retailers are willing to give better discounts on ammo when you buy it in bulk because it decreases their shipping costs.
When stored properly, bulk ammo can last indefinitely, a real advantage for large ammo purchases.

Reloading

Reloading the spent casings is another way to save some money. However, once again, it costs more initially.
You need to purchase all the reloading equipment and supplies, but once you’ve purchased that, you can begin reaping the rewards.
Handloaders enjoy more control over their rounds versus factory ammo, which means more accuracy and consistency.
If you want to get really crazy, combine both methods to increase your savings exponentially.

No, snipers do not still use 30-06 in most instances. The 308 Winchester replaced the 30-06, which has since been replaced by other sniper cartridges in recent years.

What 30 06 ammo is the best for target shooting?

The 30 06 ammo best for target shooting is Hornady Vintage Match 168gr ELD Match.

What is the best hunting ammo for 30-06?

The best hunting ammo for 30-06 is Barnes 150gr TTSX.

Parting Shots

As you can see, Barnes 150gr TTSX is the best 30-06 ammo for accuracy because it utilizes a polymer-tipped hollow point boat tail bullet with a high ballistic coefficient.
It can be used for hunting and target shooting applications; however, it’s expensive, so be prepared to cry a little after each trigger pull.

Introduction
You might think that there is only one numogram, the Numogram, created in a joint collaboration between the CCRU and glass-grade methamphetamine. No longer! With this incredibly unhelpful toolkit, you too can become A Genius™ by assigning arbitrary meanings to the single-digit numbers in a given base system!
Numogram construction theory
Look at this graph:
​
The CCRU base-10 Numogram, from the cover of their collected works
Why did I use the Numogram from the cover of the book? Well, most of the versions of this diagram are actually incorrect! Because of a reliance on a certain blurry image to recreate the Numogram, and an ignorance of its stated structure, the 15 at the top is often mistakenly rendered as a 16, and the small 3 is often mistakenly rendered as an 8. This version of the diagram is the correct one.
So, how is this diagram structured? Well, firstly, it relies on base-10, the most popular number system on Earth. Does it need to? No. But it does. The large circles are paired based on syzygy, the Genius™ way of saying that the sum to the highest single-digit number in the base used, which is always the base-number (in this case, 10) minus one - so, each pair sums to 9 here. The large dark arrows create the major flow of the diagram, and point at whatever number is the difference between the pair. (Ex, 9-0=9, so the arrow goes from 0 and 9 to 9, while 5-4=1, so the arrow goes from 5 and 4 to 1) Lastly, the minor, smaller circles contain the first nine triangular numbers. They start at whichever major number is the index of that triangular number (ex, 45 is the 9th triangular number, so 45 originates from 9) and flow toward whichever number is the sum of the integers of that triangular number (ex, 28 becomes 2+8=10, and 10 becomes 1+0=1, so 28 flows into 1).
Now that we know the rules of constructing the base-10 Numogram, we can add a few more rules to create infinitely many arbitrary Numograms, for maximum Genius™. Firstly, we can only pick even bases. This is so that are no self-pairing numbers (something the CCRU explicitly derides) when we create the syzygy pairs. Secondly, the integer sums must be performed within the base used, to prevent arbitrary nonsense diagrams. (Ex, the 9th triangular number is 45 base-10, but 39 in base-12, and 33 in base-14, and 2d in base-16, etc. 4+5=9 in base-10, 3+9=10 in base-12, 3+3=6 in base-14, 2+d=f in base-16, etc.)
Example
Now that you know how to create your own arbitrary base-N Numogram, let's look at an example:
​
Ugly, but accurate, base-12 Numogram
(Minor flows are smaller lines and circles, while major flows are thicker lines with triangles pointing toward the terminus. All numbers are rendered in base-12.)
As you can see, this diagram follows the same rules as the base-10 Numogram, but for base-12. It has all the single-digit numbers that exist in base-12 (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, a, b) and uses base-12 sums for the triangular numbers (the 8th triangular number is 36 in base-10, and thus flows from 8 to 3+6=9, but the 8th triangular number is 30 in base-12, and thus flows to 3+0=3).
What can we learn from this example?
Note that the base-12 and base-10 Numograms share some structural features that correspond to CCRU-occultism. In the base-10 Numogram, the 0:9 pair and the 3:6 pair both lie outside of the major flows of the time-circuit. The 0:9 pair forms the Plex-region of the base-10 Numogram, while the 3:6 pair forms the Warp-region. The three remaining pairs, subject the normal major flows of time, are said to form the Torque-region. The base-12 Numogram, we see that major time flows come from 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, and a, but never go into them. Likewise, we see that the 0:b pair forms a unidirectional self-consuming flow of time, much like the 0:9 and 3:6 pairs of the base-10 Numogram. Lastly, we can note that 1, 3, 5, 7, 8, and b all have major time flows both entering and exiting them.
The correspondences in number flows between the base-10 and base-12 Numograms create a situation which contains both concepts congruent with CCRU-occultism and concepts which run their own way. In the Base-12 Numogram, the Plex region (0:9) and Warp region (3:6) are combined into a single Plexwarp region (0:b), which is the only self-consuming unidirectional flow of time in the base-12 Numogram. A new region presents itself, however, in the form of the five outer even-numbered regions, which produce a time-flow but never absorb one. This region, composed of even-numbered halves of syzygy-pairs, is the "archetypal" realm, in occult parlance, while the inner five odd numbers paired with them form the "Torque-region" of this Numogram, the time-circuit for base-12. The association of planets and zones in the CCRU base-10 Numogram can be paralleled with an association between zodiac signs and the zones of the base-12 Numogram.
Totally outside of the purview of CCRU-occultism, we can note that the flows of the 10 non-Plexwarp syzygy-pairs resembles the creative flows of the Wuxing), where each of the pairs a:1, 9:2, 8:3, 7:4, and 6:5 correspond to a Chinese element, while the 0:b pair corresponds to Taiji.
A few structural similarities and differences of note between the Base-10 and Base-12 Numograms regard the minor flows. In the Base-10 Numogram, the minor flows enter the Plex and Warp regions from the Torque, but never enter the Torque from the Plex or Warp. This makes them somewhat akin to whirlpools with their own smaller time-circuits than regions beyond time, as the CCRU describes them. In the Base-12 Numogram, the Plexwarp region almost takes this form, with minor flows entering from the Archetypal, but never entering it, but it does not take the same form, since the Archetypal is not the Torque, and the Torque is present in both the Base-10 and Base-12 Numograms. The Archetypal both produces and receives minor flows, making it somewhat distinct from the Plex or Warp of the Base-10 Numogram. There are two "entry" points in the diagram based on these minor flows, these being the zones 6 and 4. While 6 and 4 are outside of the major flows of time, they receive two minor flows from the Torque - 6 receives the 24 flow from 7, and the 6 flow from 3, while 4 receives the 13 flow from 5. These "entry" points are the underlying basis of magick, since they allow a person with "access" to zone-3, zone-5, or zone-7 to project influence throw minor flows into the more powerful Archetypal zones, via zone-4 or zone-6. This influence is then carried by minor flows into Zone-a, and thus through minor flows into the Plexwarp. From zone-4, zone-6, and zone-a, the influence is also carried via major flows into other parts of the Torque, until all components of the central time-circuit carry a degree of the influence of the magickal suggestion. Likewise, Jungian synchronicity comes via the "exit" points of the Archetypal, where minor flows from that region enter the Torque. Namely, zone-3, which receives the 3 flow from zone-2, and the 30 flow from zone-8. The time-fuckery spoken of by the CCRU is accomplished through the 39 flow, which runs against the major flow of time, proceeding from zone-9 to zone-1, despite the major flow of time running from zone-1 and zone-a to zone-9.
Conclusion
Using this free conceptual toolbox and the example of the Base-12 Numogram, you too can create your own Numogram in any arbitrary even base! Go forth, and be hailed a meth-addled Genius™!

Appendix A: Three more Numograms
​
The Base-2 Numogram, the smallest possible Numogram
​
The Base-4 Numogram, the smallest numogram with an inter-zone minor flow
​
The Base-6 Numogram, the smallest with a Torque (time-circuit) region
Appendix B: Afterthoughts
If we're going to study the Numogram in any serious fashion, we can't restrict ourselves to an arbitrary version of the Numogram. We ought to study them as a class of occult metaphors, rather than as a single object, since there is nothing that makes the Base-10 Numogram unique among the infinity of possible Numograms. They share similar features: many have a time-circuit, and all five examples given have a Plex-like/Warp-like region. We can study them as a class of mathematical objects, a class of occult metaphors, a class of hyperstitious diagrams, etc. The values of using more than one Numogram are extending the metaphor, discovering new features in higher-order Numograms, discovering persistent features across all Numograms (ex, do they ALL have a plex/warp region?), and discovering higher-order persistent features (ex, do all Numograms of Base-6 or above have a Torque region? If not, why not?).

Hey everyone!
So there I was, casually losing to Unaware stall teams like there was no tomorrow. It was becoming really hard to sweep or break through a lot of these walls, and frankly is was devastating. So I thought to myself: “Hey, is there a way to possibly deal with these pokemon without wanting to throw my computer out a window?”, and so I sat there…thinking. And then it came to me: why don’t I just use Haxorus? I mean it looks cool, and it for sure hits like a truck. Sure, it probably gets outclassed by every Dragon-type in OU, but so what? It should be a blast!
So I give you: Haxorus Offense! (or Balance Offense? Not really sure)
{ https://pokepast.es/2c7d53f928a85bbb }
The goal of this build is to try and end games as quickly as possible with the help of Haxorus, which with it amazing 147 base attack and it’s 97 base speed makes it a rather fun pokemon to build around. This combined with Mold Breaker makes it a pretty big offensive threat since it can break through the likes of unaware mons such as Skeledirge and even Dondozo (if set up right).
So without further ado, I give you the team, starting with:
- Haxorus @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Mold Breaker
Tera Type: Fire
EVs: 136 HP / 136 Atk / 16 SpD / 220 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Substitute
- Dragon Dance
- Tera Blast
- Earthquake
This is the main show of the team, although to be honest it was really hard to try and make a set for this pokemon. I settled with tera fire since it would be nice to be immune to will-o-wisps from the likes of Cinderace, Rotom-Wash, and Skeledirge to get a possible dragon dances up and deal massive damage. Tera Blast is amazing at catching mons like Amoongus and Corviknight by surprise, either 2HKOing them unboosted or OHKOing at +1. I found that Sucker Punch from Kingambit was preventing a lot of sweeps, so I added substitute to possibly punish it, while also avoiding spores and other status conditions. It’s also nice that with tera fire and this EV spread, you can resist possible super effective moves such as Baxcalibur’s Icicle Crash/Ice Shard and Iron Valiant’s Moonblast. It’ also EV’d to outspeed base 80 scarfers and Dragapult, since it doesn’t outspeed much at +1 against faster scarfers.
- Hatterene @ Eject Button
Ability: Magic Bounce
Tera Type: Poison
EVs: 248 HP / 116 Def / 144 Spe
Bold Nature
- Healing Wish
- Psychic
- Dazzling Gleam
- Nuzzle
Just a standard Hattrene set, so there’s not much to say here. Magic Bounce is used to prevent hazard set up, while tera poison is used to both resist poison and absorb Toxic Spikes if necessary. Eject button allows for repositioning or safely getting a threat in.
- Breloom @ Focus Sash
Ability: Technician
Tera Type: Grass
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Spore
- Bullet Seed
- Mach Punch
- Bulldoze
Breloom synergizes well with Haxorus since it offensively checks mons like Great Tusk and Dondozo with its powerful Bullet Seed. Spore also provides amazing utility for letting set-up sweepers come in and Bulldoze is great coverage against Gholdengo. Focus Sash is great for late game options and better matchups against faster pokemon, such as Meowscarada and scarfers. Overall there’s not much to say about this little mushroom.
- Great Tusk @ Leftovers
Ability: Protosynthesis
Tera Type: Fighting
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD
- Impish Nature
- Earthquake
- Stealth Rock
- Knock Off
- Rapid Spin
It’s a standard Great Tusk Set, so again there’s not much to say. Tanks hits, electric immunity, rapid spinner with Knock Off. Best pokemon in the tier for a reason.
- Rotom-Wash @ Leftovers
Ability: Levitate
Tera Type: Steel
EVs: 248 HP / 56 Def / 152 SpD / 52 Spe
Calm Nature IVs: 0 Atk
- Volt Switch
- Hydro Pump
- Protect
- Will-O-Wisp
A more specially defensive Rotom-Wash to better live hits from Dragapult, Iron Valiant, and Walking Wake, but otherwise it’s nothing different from the average set.
- Kingambit @ Covert Cloak
Ability: Supreme Overlord
Tera Type: Flying
EVs: 104 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 148 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Swords Dance
- Iron Head
- Kowtow Cleave
- Sucker Punch
Nothing special about this set either. Kingambit does a lot of things, it’s a ghost resist and a fantastic late-game sweeper. However, Covert Cloak in my opinion is an amazing item on Kingambit, since it allows it to set up in front of Garganacl’s that don’t have Body Press. It’s not often, but when it does happen your opponent better be ready for a world of hurt. So that’s the team I suppose. There are obviously some weaknesses to the team that are noticeable, and definitely some changes that could be made, so before getting out of your hair, here are some weaknesses to keep in mind and some possible changes I would recommend.
Threats:
- Meowscarada- It’s Flower Trick and overall grass STAB makes it a bit of a problem to deal with, especially with the unpredictability of the sets it can run. What I recommend doing it possibly getting rid of it as soon as possible in the beginning of the match with Breloom. If not that, then I find it’s not a bad idea to switch in with Haxorus and threaten it with Tera Blast.
- Volcarona- Not much to say here. A special sweeper with amazing STAB and Giga Drain. Definitely not a good matchup, but positioning yourself to OHKO it with a Sucker Punch from Kingambit can possibly do the trick.
- Dragonite- Probably the biggest offensive threat to this team. If you can burn or paralyze this mon before it sets up, you’ll be okay for the most part. If not, it’ll be hard to try and take that thing down before it 6-0’s your team.
Strong special attacks like Draco Meteor or Shadow Ball are also something to look out for, but Kingambit’s also really good at tanking those pretty well.
Changes:
- Haxorus- It’s biggest issue is that while it can be amazing if it’s positioned right, it doesn’t last very long. This isn’t mentioning how with a lack of a Dragon STAB it basically forces the player to terastalize once it sets up. To fix this, you can replace Substitute with either Dragon Claw or Outrage If this becomes a problem. It might also be a better idea to just run Baxcalibur instead for more consistency, since I just use Haxorus because I thought it’d be fun to run it.
- Hatterene- Hatterene is great, but if you want some more passive damage to make sweeps more effective late game I recommend replacing it with Garganacl. This can allow you to run stealth rocks, leaving open a move slot for Great Tusk to run Close Combat or Ice Spinner.
- Kingambit- I was too lazy to do this to be honest but putting more special defense investment would definitely make it better in matchups against Gholdengo and Hisuian Zoroark. This would allow it to take less chip damage from resisted moves over the course of a match.All of these changes are subjective of course. It’s not like I’m forcing you to leave the team the way it is. Find what you think makes this team better and work with it :) .
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So this marks the end of the post. I hope you enjoy the team, and I appreciate it if you made it this far. I'm only in the high 1400s early 1500s, but in the right hands I think it can go far. Of course, put some suggestions in the comments if you have any thoughts or ideas on how to make this team better! I might upload some more team ideas I have, maybe not. With so much more free time on my hands now I really want to get better both as a teambuilder and as a player. Again, thanks for reading. Who knows? Maybe you’ll see me again :)
